Not a man on the platform expected to

him in the direction of safety, and both

A novel and somewhat scientific plan

evening sne was reiievea 01 a purse con
taining $12 and several bundles by the
electric method. She was returning
home on Centre avenue, near Milwaukee
avenue. As she passed in the shadow
of a building two men brushed against
her. One of them touched her wrist
with a piece of metaL S ie at once re
ceived a violent el ctric shock that caused
her to let go her puree and several bun
dles and sent her reeling against the
building. She was so dazed for the mo

flight cl the falcon can stimulate noble
nature to greater fitness for high em
ployments, surely th companionship of
a loving dog eager to satisfy hU master
is a moral influence o! no less value.
In some States Judges have come to
think so, and to rule accordingly. In
Hvw York and New Hampshire decis
ions have Loeu rendsred that the oil
common rule must be abrogated and a
dog thief held for larceny.
In oue of theeo decisions the warm
hear tod judge defended our abuse! pels
with a nurited eulogy : "When we call
to mind th ma!l paniel that saved the
life of William of Orange and thus prob
ably changed the current of modern

and the faithful 3 . Dernards, which,

Lads to reat on. "
Tlaere is one other reason why, per
. lisps, dogs were not included with the
other do:;et:cated animals under the
law of larccncy. Ihiring the reign of
William L, the grau l larceucy of chat
tels over twelve pence in value was
made punidiable by death. Lord Coke
hints that it was not held Iarce.icy to
steal dog- bcaue it was not tit that "a
roron should die for them. " The
1 arned j-;de qtioted above add-i to this
ironically : "ami yet lho$e ancient law

Karelr da we hear of a man who 1
from the effects of the shock she began
1 to look around for her purse and bun

dawned upon her that she had been
robbed. The two men who had passed
her were just turning on Milwaukee
avenue. Quickening her stepi she fol
lowe them, hoping to meet an officer
that ahe might have them placed under
arrest. At Chicago avenue she quit the
pur. uit and ran to the police station and
told what had occurred. An officer was
sent out with her. but the men could not
be found. According lo Mrs. Jacobsona
description the men were about 5 feet 6
or S inches tall.
A similar case was reported earlv in
the week by Mis Czarkofski, a type
writer who lives on Noble street Her
week's wages were taken.
How the fellows produced the elec
triclty Is not known to the police. Some
are of the opinion that they carry a small
battery with them, while others take the
view that they attached small wires to

Why Dog Abenad la Constantinople.
Tnere is a queer explanation given of
the reason why the people of Constanti
nople tolerate so many dogs in the streets
rf that city. It is in effect that when a
Mussulman commits a sin he prays and
pays to have it forgiven. After this is
done he takes a piece of bread and breaks
it into bits, which he throws to the dogs.
If the latter accept the food it is a sure
sign that the sinner is forgiven. If they
refuse to eat it, he is not forgiven. The
more dogs that roam around, the more
bread will be eaten and the more siu for
