In her little frilled cap so fine,
With her golden hair falling out at the edge,

When she sleepily said, rs she closed her

And she slept baby weary with play,
But held her warm In my love strong

And rocked her and rocked away.

The land and the sea and sky, -..-

The highest Of all that's high

Their pictures and stores of art.

Nor all the gold that was ever found

And wakened with lips saying close in my

LIFE IN SIBERIA
Not SO bad n Kind OF Existence

Not SO bad n Kind OF Existence
After All.
[Cor. New York Telegraml
On their way TO Siberia the convicts prac-
tice among thems elves such mercantile affairs
as exchanging their names, which is another
way of taking each others places for a
certain amount Of money. For instance Ivan
is doomed TO hard labor and Peter is
sentenced only to distant Punishment but
Ivan having in possession a sum of money
forfeits it, together with the severity Of his
punishment, for the benefit of Peters SEN
tence, who henceforth called Ivan, volun-
tarily accepts the exchange and goes to work
in the coal mines for twenty years. The
possibility OF such exchanges will be easily
conceived IL one bears in mind that the Off
Ger and escort do not know the countenance
OF the convicts, the guard being changed at
several stations They only take care TO de-
liver the number of con victs they were in
trusted with
There is many convict to whom trip
to Siberia is OF no consequence, as he is used
TO 1t from childhood. He makes his escape
In the summer, during which he does his
usual extensive business Of burgling until the
bitter cold OF the approaching winter season
reminds him Of the indispensable necessity
of seeking for shelter. Having no alterna-
tive, he Is finally compelled to deliver him
self to the nearest prison officials, who keep
him until the opportunity Of joining party
OF convicts is offered. Oftentimes these fel-
lows, who have already been several times to
Siberia, are recognized by the officer or
escort OF the party, who seem not in tho
least astonished to find them there, as IL be-
comes n customary affair in the history of
Russian convict transportation Many a
man has been found to have been in Siberia
thirty or forty times, and as many times
succeeded in escaping in the summer season.
The life Of the convicts in the mires is not
SO desperately insupportable as many Of the
newspapers have tried to paint Those who
possess material means are especially well
treated and cared for. Their food Is more
substantial, their undergarments often
changed and the watch greatly weakened
The 'ruble" affects everything, beginning
with the orderly, and gradually ascending
to the higher quarters Bribery is common,
and convicts may be found who were doomed
TO hard labor leading most comfortable
life under the shelter of the warm-hearted
governor, and declaring that he never felt
20 deeply the benefits Of freedom as he does
now. There is a government factory near
Irkoutsk called @Alexsandrovski Zawod,"
where some Of the convicts are appointed to
work out the term Of confinement They
also lead an easy life.

Criminals Who Read Newspapers.

"Thero is no better place to look for Grim.
inals than in library" said a member of
the detective force the other day. "The
average thief is constantly travelling from
one city to another, and it is absolutely
necessary for him to keep posted in all the
criminal news in the different parts of the
country. In the large libraries at least one
or two Of the principal papers Of all the
larger cities are ON file. These are carefully
scanned each day for police news by Grim.

the thieves want to know all about it, SO as
to discover in which direction their best field
lies. In this way they can also keep track of
one another
I'm several cases criminals have been de-
sected by being followed to libraries One Of
Pinkerton's men not long ago made an impor-
tant arrest Of a jewelry thief in Cincinnati
In this way: The man spent all his time in
the library for several days after the rob-
berry in reading accounts Of it. He appeared
to be so deeply interested that the detective
made up his mind that he must have been
implicated in it, and so made the arrest.
Supposing that there was positive evidence
against him, the fellow confessed and this led
to the conviction of his pal.
"You will often see the files of papers muti-
lated. Nine times out Of 10 the piece cut out
contains criminal news. 1t is amusing to see
how slyly the fellows go at it They throw
themselves over the paper, and it takes them
half an hour to accomplish their object In
the meantime they look in all directions to

For the first time in the record of Ameri-

plea. Hence the case attracts some atten-
tion, and It's details are as follows: A large
quantity Of fiax-seed, in bags, was stored in
a warehouse, and when delivered Was found
to be damaged by rats to an unusual de-
gree. These destructive vermin had gnawed
the sacks and devoured their contents, and
also made them q breeding place. Hence
the owners refused to pay storage. Ttsy
were sued, however, and the court held that
warehousemen are not liable for such risks.
