Crowds That Gather to Secure
Seats In the Pit.

wasn't to tx imrted from its pennies
without nroiier value In return.
The crowd was genial, orderly, well
dressed, and when the doors were
opened finally I expected n headlong
rash. But there was uot the slightest
suggestion of s scramble a little con
gestion naturally at the narrow en
trance, where a smiling, food natured
bobby remarked quite pleasantly:
"Now. then, go easy-Just the same
as yon went into church last Sunday
if you did go."
Then a short passage up a flight of
narrow stairs, past a little cubbyhole
where the tickets are handed out after
you have duly deposited your two-and

Play.
Nine Points In Law.
A three-year-old was being made
ready for a bath, much to her discom
fort, as she heartily disliked soap and
water. "Don't dit water In my eyes,"
she said, "and don't dlt soap in my
nose."
Thinking to quiet her. her mother
said. "Never mind. Dorothy: it's my
nose, anyway."
"Well. 1 don't care," replied Dorothy,
with feeling: "It's me that's using it"

A young man who was sn enthusi
astic lover of nature went to the sea
side for s holiday and. approaching a
typical fisherman, said:
"An, my friend, how well you most
know the face of nature and know it
In its many moods! Have yon ever
seen the sun sinking in such a glare of
glory that it swallows up the horizon
with fire? Hive jou not seen the mist
sliding down the shrinking hillside
like a specter?"
And, very excited and throwing out
his arms, he continued:
"Have you never seen, my man, the
moon struggling to shake off the rag
ged, rugged storm cloud?"
The fisherman replied, "No, sir; I
have not since 1 signed the pledge."

' How Baxter Butted In"
The Line. Orderly and Well Dressed,
Begins to Form Early as 5 o'Clock
In the Afternoon and In Cass of s
Popular Play Even Earlier.
In the belter Loudon theaters it
costs 2s. (kl to go into the pit. which,
relatively speuking. Is a good sum to
puy. for a half dollar in New York
isn't much better than a shilling in
London wbeu it comes to purchasing
value.
The pit crowd begins to assemble as
early as 5 o'clock in the afternoon and
in cases of a great success even earlier
than that. My nrst experience as a
pittite occurred in London one summer
night two years ago, when, after vain
efforts to buy. borrow, beg or steal
Btalls for a popular play, writes Adolph
Klauber In the Green Book, I finally
decided to see it from the pit When I
arrived at the theater, about 5 o'clock
one Saturday afternoon, 1 found there
was already a long line of men and
boys and women, the foremost with
face glued to the pit door and the line
extending far beyond the narrow pas
sageway to the street in front of the
theater. Now, with every desire in the
world to send my New York constit
uency some news of this great reign
ing success and not without some cu
riosity of my own I was still far from
willing to cool my heels for the best
part of three hours until the doors
should open.
I turned and found a newsboy at my
elbow.
"I'll 'old your place for you. sir." he
repeated. "What time 'II you be back?"
It was then that I discovered for the
first time this London institution, the
place holder at the door of the pit, one
of the many means by which one of
the struggling unemployed or of the
poorly paid seeks to add a few shil
lings to his meager, frugal Income.
There was no risk iuvolved. The boy
was quick to note the foreigner.
"It'll be ail roipbt. sir." he said in
his cheerful cockney way. "Is the
lady coming too? Me and me friend '11
stand in line, and all you'll have to do
will be to change places with us when
you come around tonight. Only a
shillln' apiece. It's worth It. sir. not
to bave to wait."
At 7 o'clock we were back in the
narrow court, but long before I bad
been able to disentangle my boy from
the dozen or so others, all looking very
much alike, bis cheerful tones greeted
me with "'Ere you are, sir. 'ere you
are, and you and the lady '11 get in the
first row if yon look sbsrp when you
pass the door."
"Gee-rusalem; I muttered as we
dropped Into the Interstices left by
the departing boys, "a good half hour
to wait or more."
But. after all, I found the waiting
far from tedious.
Hawkers of fruit and chocolate pass
I ed along the line, finding ready buyers
among the waiting patrons of the pit.
and every rew minutes some new
vaudeville faker ont of work would
come along to entertain tbe crowd
with tumbling, dancing, singing or tml
tatlons. Pint s Juggler appeared, and
when a bobby sent him spinning faster
than his plates and balls s contortion

pet mat and began to turn himself in

girls going home from work shouted
encouragement and appreciation. Fi
nally tbe bobby ordered him to "move
on," bnt not until a generous shower
of pennies bad fallen on tbe mat. Tbe

A Little Ambiguous.
The Ingrahams were entertaining
two friends at dinner. After Mr. In-
graham had helped them to roast beef
he happened to glance at tbe other end
of the table, where bis wife sat. and
observed, to his horror, that tbe sugar
bowl was the old one, with both han
dles broken off, that usually graced tbe
dining table on wash days.
In vain be endeavored by mysterious
nods and winks to direct Mrs. Ingra
not see or would not see tbe mutilated
piece of gueensware, and bis patience
gave way at last

I ness, "do you think we ought to use a
j sugar bowl when we bave company

THE "THIRD DEGREE."
Ethics of the Process at Defined by
Inspector Byrnes.
The 'third degree,' " said Inspector
Byrnes, tbe former chief of detectives,
should be a psychic rather than a
physical process. It Is not remorse
brought about by continual thought
upon the helnousness of his crime that
drives a guilty man to confession. It
is the nervous strain Involved In a long
effort to maintain bis pretense of in
nocence, while he Is in constant fear
that the police are in possession of evi
dence that may prove bis guilt Some
thing like a parallel case would be
that of a prizefighter who should sur
mise that his antagonist was playing
with him in the ring while capable of
sending In a knockout blow at any
time be felt so inclined. Apprehension
that he was dealing with conditions of
the nature of which he was unawnre
would eventually weaken the man in
that case. Tell a suspected man who
is guilty that you have evidence of his
guilt and that he will get nothing to
eat or will not be nerroited to sleep
until be confesses, und unless lie Is
a particularly stupid fellow he will
know thnt you hnvp no proof ngntnnt
him and are only trying to get it. For
instance, show him ostentatiously the
weapon with which be may have killed
a man and tell him that you know all
about tbe crime and he would better
confess It He wll) say to himself.
They haven't got sufficient evidence
to convict me and are trying to make
me furnish It, for if they had tbe evi
dence they wouldn't care whether 1
confessed or not,' and thus be will be
encouraged to hold out. Also, If be
does confess under duress, be makes
s false confession, which be knows it
will be Impossible to corroborate.
"Now, a guilty man In ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred Is not sure that
he has covered every trace of his crime,
and be may readily be pot Into the
state of mind of the man in Poe's
story of The Telltale Heart,' wherein
be can't help believing that proof of
bis guilt has been discovered and that
bis cross examiners are mocking him
by pretending not to be aware of it
Let the guilty man catch sight of sn
Implement with which bis crime is as
sociated in tbe possession of tbe po
lice, which be believes has been un
intentionally left where be sees it and
It throws him into s panic, because be
does not know how tbey came by tbe
weapon nor what else tbey msy have
discovered demonstrating bis guilt in
getting bold of it Perhaps he has con
cocted s story in bis mind which tbe
