With marked regularity every
spring the word is passed around
that too much cotton is being
grown and farmers should cut the
acreage down. AS the word goes
round every farmer, after passing
it to his neighbOr, says to himself,
that he hopes his neighbors will
take heed 80 that the price will
be better this year and he himself
will plant a little larger crop than
ever before, and thus the acreage
is increased from year to year and
the prices get lower and lower.

tertainment by setting fire to the coach
and burning up 81, 600 worth of the com-
pany's property, besides running away
with the horses, the stagemen concluded
that the iron box scheme didn't pay.
Going through the mail sacks used to be
tedious job for "A road agent, and it didn't
often pay for the time wasted. Besides it
doubled the number of p%ursuers by setting
all the United States marshals On the hunt
for the robber, and when caught it landed
him in the United States court and insured
a heavy sentence.
Nevertheless, a great deal of money is
sent by mail, and for the convenience of
road agents and other thieves who may de-
sire to take the chance of being caught,
Uncle Sam invented the registered letter
and its especial pouch. No other reason
for the invention of the registered letter
system can be imagined. A registered let
ter is not insured, and Uncle Sam will not
pay for it II it Is lost or stolen. The regis
tered mail is put into a little pouch, which
is put inside of the ordinary mail sack.
When the road agent gets hold of "A mail
sack he rips 1t open, either by running his
knife around the sack near the bottom or
by making two slashes crlsscross In one
side of the sack. Thanks to Uncle Sans
kim consideration and foresight, he isn't
Obliged to ransack a thousand letters, but
finds all the aluable mail sorted out and
neatly done up in an easily portable pouch,
which he takes along to open at his leisure
in the brush.
OF all the devices and inventions for the
protection Of treasure and the circumven-
ton of the road agent the only one that
has stood the test of time and experienced
a big, ugly tempered man with a sawed off
shotgun on the box. or course, when the
other fellow has the drop a shotgun is of
no more use than a piece of lead pipe; but
the lone road agent can't watch a lot of
passengers and a driver and at the same
time keep the drop on n man who has been
hired to shoot him full of holes and only
wants half a chance to do it. II the robber
gets the drop on the messenger and keeps
it and contents himself with ordering the
driver to throw out the box he may win,
but 1t is the business of this man with
the sawed off shotgun not to let him get
the drop, but to blaze away as soon as he
shows up.
The gun is sawed of for the greater con-
venience of the messenger in pottinR road
agents. 1t is loaded with buckshot, and
~scatters like a charge of bribery fired into
a California legislature. The length Of
the gun Is such that when the muzzle rests
upon the footboard the locks are even with
the messengers knee, and he can swing it
up into position very readily. II he gets
it pointed anywhere near the robber some
OF the buckshot are sure to hit.
An old Nevada drivers modification of
the messengers gun was a single barreled
shotgun worn in his right boot, the muz
Zle protruding through the bottom near
the heel. When held up he stuck out his
leg toward the robber, as II he were feeling
for the brake, and pulled the trigger, but
one hand was required to work the gun
and the effect was something in the line of
nainfll surprise.

THEY CALL FIN THE CAL"
. Tough New York Boy Who Is Notori
Gus rs n Thief.


DARBY Diveney; Dime Novel Hero" A
fine alliterative title that, and it's just
about what Tom Diveney, alias Dauber,
alias Darby Diveney is He is but nine
teen years old, and is in the Tombs under
a two years sentence to prison nursing a
hole in his neck. The hole starts in be-
hind and comes out on the left cheek, and
it was made by the bullet OF the police
man who arrested Darby for the robbery
Of John Fitzgerald.
1t is pretty clearly proved that Diveney
did but one honest job OF work in his life.
He painted a tence for n citizen once and
got $50 for it. The whole sum was spent
for beer for the Growler Gang, Of Battle
Row and Fifty-ninth street, and in consid-
Grafton OF the job they gave Tom the nick
name OF ''Dauber," which gradually
changed to Darby. Petty thieving was his
business from the time he could walk, and
when he was twelve years old there was
not such another little sneak thief in all
New York city. He would sneak" apples,
vegetables, cakes, cigars, anything, In
short, from the stalls or counters Of the
tangled wilderness OF streets and alleys
where he lived, and II he got twenty feet
the start no sufferer could catch him.
He became so expert in jumping fences,
getting out of windows and lodging among
lumber piles that he was known as THE
Cat" He could jump up and catch the top
of an eight foot board fence, throw himself
owe IND go on without perceptible loss Of
speed or time. At length he took up
with" one Mamie Reilly, a woman Of nine
teen, whose husband had deserted her.
She was honest and stroye to reform him;
still she perjured herself once to get him
out Of a difficulty. He then decided he was
too big for the ''sneak lay" and became an
amateur burglar, always working" in
some other place than New York, of purse,
and getting but small sums out Of the
''swAg."
At length he discovered that John Fitz-
lerald, keeper of a saloon on Fifty-ninth
street, took his afternoon nap in a little
