1t has been frequently noticed
that there are epidenlics Of rcbber
les as well as of suicides and other
crimes. A criminal epidemic,pec
liar to a half dozen large cities OF
the United states that have a large
and vicious population, is t'.,.t 9.
Sunday murders, which are the re
suits Of a day Of idlencss. Then,
again, murders with peculiar 1ea-
lures often occur in groups in ali
parts Of the country. La France
there is a tradition, centuries old,
that epidemics of suicide return ii
regular cycles, at each recurrence
Of the suicidal furor the successive
victims Of their own nlurderuus
hands viviDg with one another IN
the greater ghastliness Of t}le tradg
edy that they enact.
Stories of wife murders IL var
ious parts Of the country, relieved
by a few exceptional murders OF
husbands by their wives, reach the
press simultaneously ) from many
different sources. Murder in the
air. has become a stereotypei ex-
preston among newspaper niell
and detectives, who know from ex
perience that such epiden.lcs viii
run their cycles and cause many
| bloody records to Ee made before
they have spent their fury
With bank roYbeFies it is the
same. It is not often that a single
robbery is n1ade-one is sure to
breed others: "l!ley come not slngly
but in whole battaiions." This is
not because the same gang engages
in many different enterprises, hut
because a universal similar impulse
permeatcs the minds Of the classes
devoted to that form of guilt.

his way to where he supposed q
warm reception awaited him. The
devil saw him and said: 'Tor
many years thou hast borne the
blame for the many errors the print
ers have made in the paper. The
paper has gone las for $;'33 and the
50 has often failed to come in. The
printers have deviled thee on Sat
urday night when thou hadst not a
cent to thy name. Men have taken
the paper without paying for it
and they curse thee for not gttti:e
out better newspaper. Thou has
been called a dead beat by the pas
senger conductors when thou hast
shown thy annual pass to enviouS
gaze. All these thou hast borne il
