A Years Work of the Criminal.

Habitual criminals are born such. Their
occupation is to them natural and enjoy
able; they pursue it just as artisans fol-
low their trades. When they are locked
up in prison they behave admirably, often
work hard and go out with an accumula-
tion Of savings, and Immediately thereupon
return to their vocation of evil doing. If
honest work be got for them they run
away from it and go back to their pre-
ferred mode of life, even though they know
that they cannot earn as much money by il.
In the cities, towns and villages of the
civilized world every year thousands of un-
offending men, women and children are
slaughtered, millions Of money are carried
away by the devastator and incendiary

"Can you tell me whether this car passes

as she climbed wearily up the steps of the
Live Oak electric car in front of the post
Office She addressed her remark in a gen

to indicate with her eyes the woman in

trimmed eyeglasses.

''You can easily see the depDo from the

the strings of her shopping bag tighter,
and looked defiantly at the other passen-

The Care Of en- OIL Stove.

The preventive for bad smell in an oil
stove IS to use good oil and to keep the
stove absolutely and perfectly clean. Every
day the hues over the burners must be
thoroughly cleansed. Several thicknesses
of old soft cotton cloth tied around stick
answer for this purpose better than any
brush. The oil reservoir must on no &C
count be filed to the brim, or the oil oozes
out and causes a smell. Once week It is
well to wash every getatable part with hot
water and soda This thoroughly takes off
any oily SCOT which may have accum ulated
.-d which is the chief cause of smell.
