READ SIGN; TOOK COAT; JOKE CLEAR; HE'S FREE Man Removed Garment From Dummy and Walked Away With It. Shenandoah, Pn , Jan. 13. A stranger deftly cut the buttons from an overcoat on a dummy in front of ArthurSpero's clothing store thin afternoon, and, taking the coat under his arm, walked calmly away. Max Spoont, a shoe dealer across | the street, paw the trick and notified ' AbeOiken, one of Spero's clerks. 'J he latter captured the fellow a square away. When arraigned before Justice Shoemaker, lie gave the name of John Doet, and, pointing to Spero's adver tisement, ••Overcoats given away," said he merely did as invited. I Spero, who is somewhat of a hniu • orist, acknowledged the joke was on I him, and, paying the costs, withdrew 1 the charge, against the protests of Sam Block and Max Smigelski, rival clothiers, who also had overcoats stolen from dummies recently. The Justice gave Doet au hour to leave town. Even at this early day the iuiport i aucn and magnitude of the Knights Templar uonolavc to ho held at Will . iamport in May becomes apparent from the wide scope of the preparations be ing made for the event. THE FEBRUARY "SMART SET." HEADERS of THE SMART SET bare learned to look upon tlie complete novel that appears in each issuo of that magazine as the biggest event of the month in fiction; but even Ibe most enthusiastic reader will be hap pi.y surprised by the story in the February number. Beyond a doubt "The Eavesdroppers," by Arthur 1 Stringer, will prove one of the sensa tions of the year. The story duals with the careers of two daring crim inals—a man and a woman—whose astonishing adventures the reader follows with breathless Interest. From the very opening sentence the tale becomes one of rapid and excit ing incident, and, moreover, it is written with that literary distinction which always characterizes Mr. Stringer's work. Different as "The Eavesdroppers" is from such fiction as "In the Bishop's Carriage" and "Ra...e»," it combines all the interest ' of those stories with a movement and ' intensity entirely its own. It is a ! notable achievement for the author, and will prove a notable novelette in ' Tun SMART SET'B long list of success ful stories. Of the sixteen short stories in this ' number each is so excellent in its - own way that it is almost impossible i to makoa selection of anyone as "the . best." The essay in this issue is by the noted dramatic and music critic, , James lluneker, and will cause wide , comment. Mr. Huneker has written p of "Ibsen the Individualist," and has 1 many important and interesting things to say both of the personality and the work of the great Norwegian dramatist. 'I he poetry of this Issue Is of more than usual value, and is contributed by Florence Wilkinson, Joaquin Mil i ler, Dora Reed tioodale, Madeline Bridges, Clinton Dangerfield, John Arbntbuott, Richard Kirk, Leah Dur and and Clinton Scollaid. Altogether the February SMART SET is a splendid example of what a modern magazine should lie. Pamphlet and Newspaper. A prominent advertising man af firms that for some lines of business the pamphlet is of great value. "But the advertiser wno should think pam phlets can replace newspaper adver tising must be mad. The two work . hand in hand, each helping the other. It is n fact, however, that less than ten per cent, of the pamphlets dis . trihuted broadcast receive any atten tion." ! We bear that an attempt to rai f e i reuti is being made by some landlords, i Until work improves the tenants will have about all the oan do to raise ) their rents at present figures.
