Americans are said to be fast becoming a

Certain it is that drinking or not drinking
is pretty much a matter of habit. The
writer knows persons who take not a drop
of fluidfioin the morning to tho'evcning

question of control or self-denial. for the

ways or development are many. but one of
the queerwt of these has come to light since
the introduction of enamelled lettu for
signs in this city. says the Pittsburg Comma-
a'al. These letters are cemented on the
outside. of show windows and are notbought
for a trifle. Some of the people who wanted
signs of this kind did not want to w for
them and determined to get fliem for noth-
ing. Anybody who has noticed the signs
has observed that in very many instances
here or there a letter will be missing. This
is the work of the signs-fonnothing people.
The method employed is to go to the win-
dows after night and remove the letters that
suit. Then togoto another window and get
some. more and keep this up until all that
are required have been collected. This done
the letters a pasted on the thief's window.
vided with a sign that cost noth-
ing and is almost- certain to escape detection.
The agents think that the missing letters
are due to carelessness in puttingthem up.
the former agents blamed various painters,
whose trade is suffering. with playing the
vandal. but the storekcepers who have lost
letters are conv inccd that they have been
stolen to reappear in ditlxn of combinations.
