CHICAGO, the metropolis Of all that re-
gion living between the Allegheny and
the Rocky mountains; Chicago, the me-
trOpolis 10 vice as all else, comes to the
front with another startling revelation
OF the effects Ot"wine and women" in
working ruin-soCial, moral, domestic
and financial. 1t is the old, old story. A
confidential clerk, trusting old en-
poyer. a 100000 shortage. Il smash up,
a discovery, and the devil to pay gener-
ally. The employer who permits his
clerk TO carry on systematic GOurce OF
stealing for ten years is morally Culpa-
bic. The time has fully come to put the
blame of this thing on the right should
ers. The man who entrusts large sums
Of money TO men, particularly young
men, who have no pecuniary interests
IN the business beyond their salaries, is
guilty of more than an indlscretiOn
when he holds no check over them, but
permits them to handle his money as
though it was their own. The tempta-
tons thus thrown in young mans way
are more than he should be called upon
to resist. Human nature is human ma
ture the world over. In our large cities,
In this age of display and high pressure
living, the average man cannot with
stand the temptation OF the irresponsi-
bic use Of money that lie not his own, for
a succession of years. According to the
testimony of the millionaire victim, the
robbery hsd been going on for twelve
years and no suspicious were aroused
until about week ago. There is GRIM
inal negligence here on the part Of the
EMPLOYER AS well as criminal fraud on
the part of his clerk. The responsibility
should be divided between them and
the full force OF the exposure not left 10
fall upon the head OF the family Of the
thief Public sentiment must learn to
hold the employer criminally cnlpable
for negligence which allows II young
man to run such a course, as Wac done
in this instance, for twelve years and
know nothing of it.

Loafng on the Streets.

The worst habit that boys can fall into
is that of loafing around on the streets at
night. II is then they cast their lot in
slippery places when at any moment they
are likely to fall from grace. All good
and noble lessons taught them by their
mothers are there cou nleracted and nulli-
fed. They learn nothing that is good,
but everything bad. The boys who stay
at home nights and read good books are
the future hope Of this country-they
will Oil our legislative and con-
gressional halls, and sit in judges
ment upon men and measures
while the boys who ran the streets will
fill our penitentiaries. aims houses and
lunatic asylums. Parents who are re,
sponsible for these broken laws of de
cency will have broken hearts and bowed
down heads in the awakening years that
will inevitably follow. Every night hun
dreds of boys from six to sixty years of
age may be seen loafing around on our
streets with no apparent business in their
heads except killing time. This should
not be. The old gray headed boys are
probably past redemption. but every eff
fort possible should be made TO induce
the younger boys to forsake the habit of
losflng.
