Detective Genius Blighted.

A GOOD many papers, books and magazines
had been missed IN a downtown book
store, With the crowds of holiday purchasers
constantly moving in and out it was difficult to
guard the piles of books and journals on the
counters. The statesmen were instructed to
keep sharp lookout for thieves and the boys
engaged to help during the holiday rush were
also requested to report any suspicious actions
on the part CT customers. Yesterday one of
the boys called the proprietor to one side and
said: There's an old gent over there actin
suspicious-he takes up a book but he don't
read it, an looks all around to see if anybody's
lookin"
The description did sound suspicious and
the proprietor of the store went over to look
at the old gentleman in question. The latter
was reading book with his back turned, and
when the bookseller touched him on the
shoulder he gave a start as he turned around
which might have been taken for a sign of
guilt. if his face had not proved him to be a
doctor of divinity and the pastor of great
Presbyterian church. The youthful detective
was not encouraged to continue his espionage.
The divine, of course, never learned that he
had been suspected of klepromanla,

who continually circulate around him. They
literally and metaphorically look up to Officer
Grimes towering above them at the busy
corner.
1t is very amusing to see Officer Grimes
experimenting deals between the boys, which
are OF frequent occurrence. He knows all the
boys and more than that, knows their imple-
ments OF trade, the shoe-blacking boxes. The
other day boy brought him box to sell and a
purchaser presented himself at the same time.
Doesn't this belong TO SKINNY" said the
policeman, after examining the box.
Nav" said the selling party, and Just then
the very thin individual, known as Skinny,
happened to come up, and the boxes we're COM
pared. They had many marks of similarity,
thus showing the brokers' knowledge of the
market. Every box, by the way, has some dis
tinctive mark. a design in brass-headed nails,
or initials cut in the WOOD. Well, in this case,
sale was made, and the broker banded over
the money to the client. Just as this occurred
acitizen, who had been watching the transac-
ton with interest, caught Officer Grimes eye,
and he said with merry WINK: You see we
newsies must take care of each other"

SNAP SHOTS IN SEASON.
SITTING BULLS death will not affect Wall
street, but it may make the live stock raisers
feel easier.

Ieel easier.
REALITY is popular now. Realism has
crowded out romance, hasntit? We want fact
instead of fict1on-stone instead of sand, light
instead of shadow. the dross of life instead of
its gloss All must be of earth,
earthy-gritty. grimy, cold. hard. cruel.
No more fanciful creations, no more
children of the brain. no more masqueraders,
troubadours. valiant knights and "ladyes
fayre" no more prancing steeds and warriors
bold. The signing lover and the pure, true
maid now give place to the hardened villain
and the coy coquette. The sweets of love are
now turned to wormwood, and the bitterer
the cup the better. The harder the
blow dealt those who suffer in the
book the heavier its sale. The
truer the picture is to life-real,
common, humdrum, work a-dav life-the
greater the praise for the painter. Everything
must be real-cruelly real. The mantle of
charity is ripped off and trampled in the mud.
the wells are torn from the faces of fury and
saint and the very soul inside the clay walls is
spread over the mud-soiled pages. Nothing is
too bad, nothing is too good, for the feast
which the hungry hosts order and which
the cunning caterers provide. Under the
guise of Reform pens are dipped in sewers,
and the fouIness communicates the sea Of hu-
manity. Crime, instead of being robbed of its
hideousness, is clothed in rich raimant. which
is torn to tatters and trailed in the dust. The
rags are spun into Shiny rope, on which to hang
the grinning skeleton brought from the closet
of reality to quench the thirst of the realist.
Sacred sorrows are sin-gided, the greatest joys
are the wickedest, the real made more horrible
than the ideal. Gnaw away, ye ghouls, ye
jackals. Squeeze the blood out of the living
flesh, crunch the bones. Prick hearts with
your pens. Perhaps some day the blood will
purify them.

AN ENGLIsHMAN OBTECTs.

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
In the editorial columns of your issue for
the 9TH inst, referring to Mrs. Dixie.
who, you state, expressed her opinion that
England would grant woman suffrage be-
fore this country, you say that 'As Eng
land has not adopted manhood suffrage. the
lady's opinion does not seem entirely well
founded" Now, sir, waving the question.
Tor the present at least, as to whether Eng
land has or has not adopted manhood suf-
1rage, L want to earnestly protest against
the repeated undignifed slurs that appear
from time to time in your columns on things
English.
An inspection of your files will show
that the instance alluded to is only pebble
compared with some of the boulders flung
in the past in the same direction and
though, perhaps, not intended, are never
theless calculated to convey erroneous i'm
pressions to some concerning England and
the English. You must be aware that, as
TnE HERALD is the only morning paper
published in this city that is
really worthy the name of a
newspaper in an English sense, it is
largely patronized by the ''Utah
Britisher," and viewed from any stand
point l cannot discover your policy in allow
ing the publication OF articles that can
only, by their frequency, disgust them and
deceive others.
Possibly some of the ideas were intended
only to be humorous, and though some
times quite an effort is required TO gather
this idea, yet this charitable view may
measurably condone for the notable alb
sence of truth and consistency [
say consistency" because it must
occur to you that whatever NAV
be the actual condition of England
and her subjects, you, day, as an advo-
cate and defender of things American, are
living in very huge 'glass house." and
