Short Story OF How Some Men Become
DefAultets.

The new extratlition treaty with
Canada signed last winter seems to
have materially decreased the numb
of large defalcations and embezzle-s
ments in the United States. but the
number Of little ones show no falling
of.
70 have on an average three en-
every two days" said the
vice president of one Of the city surety
companies in New York a few days ago
to a representative of the Star. Our
business Of bonding employees is main
sly confined to clerks and railroad and
express men. and the amounts we are
called on to make good are small.
The bonds in most cases are less than
$1O. 600. and fully nine-tenths of the
embellishments are under $40, 900.
Ihe desire for accommodating wealth
by speculation is at the bottom of
nearly every case. and the. first step.
the temporary llse Of funds trusted in.
his hands has been the ruin of thou-s
sands. They need the money. take it,
and probably return it all right. That
SO fatal. They think they can take
more and more. until finally there
comes time when they can not make
it good. aud must take more in the
hope that fortune will favor them
Discovery aud dishonor is the ainevita-
blesoutcome. II may be delayed for y
time. but it is bound to come
In all our business recall only
two or three cases IN which a man has
accepted "a situation for the del iberate
purpose Of robbing The people are
not naturally dishonest. but they can
not resist temptation. especially when
there seems a chance for them TO avoid
detection. and they ease their CON
science with this intention until they
are in the net too far to retreat and
escape is impossible.
The now extradition treaty has
done much to stop speculation. but the
vigorous prosecution of Offenders has
done more. The INV treity however;
gives more facilities for bringing these
criminals to justice. Before in nearly
every case 81 embezzl ements the prose-
cutiOn Ind to prove forgery il order

tive ID tho dominion by prosecuting
for bringing stolen property into Can

however, the criminal could often
dodge tho latter charge. aud. not be-
ing guilty Of the former, could escape
entirely
Nowitis almost imp ssible for man
to escape, but in many instances the
amount taken Is so small and the cost
Of prosecution so great that tho matter

THE potentially Of Texas as wheat

they could raise it-cotton seemed
their stronghold. This year they turned
out 1900, 900 bushels, and Of this 8, 500,
900 came from the Panhandle, which,
five years ago, they thought good only
for grazing. After this season land.
can't be bought in the Panhandle for
twenty-five cents an acre. Itwas Big
sensation this season when Texas
shipped ninety thousand bushels OF
wheat to Liverpool. The farmer got
from sixty-eight to seventy light cents
at the nearest point of shipment.

At least this is the estimate put for
ward BY the American Agriculturist
in ita annual review Of the
harvesta. to be published ia the
forthcoming September issue Of
that magazine. On the basis Of pres
emit prospects this authority estimates
the corn crop Of 1891 at 1900, OOO, 900
bushels; wheat, 500, OO0, 900. and oats
622. OOO. 600 bushels. This makes the
total prospective crop OF corn. wheat
and oats $3.50, 900, 900 bushels, or ass
per cent greater than last year. and Ia. I
per cent over the average of the pre-
ccding eleven years.
The American Agriculturist believes
that unless unexpected influences
wholly change the current of events
the value OF corn on the farm will aver
age IN December fully so cents bnshel;
wheat, VI per bushel and oats at least
AZ cents. On this basis the
