The Jim-BOb Affair.
Listen, child. and I will tell
OF the battle grim.
Where appeared not long ago
The heroes Bob and Jim.
Said Jim to Bob. "You are a man
Whom I greatly despise."
Said Bob to Jim, 1.-The sight Of you
Is torture to my eyes,
They forthwith sent a challenge out;
They made 1t strong and right,
And then the various cities fused
Over which should have the fight
And next the governors came forth,
Angry through and through;
Bossed the legislatures round.
And did 1t easy, too.
Then the managers arose
Full Of righteous ire;
Called each other horrid names,
One Of which was liar"
Soon the people took 1t UP
With a mighty din;
Factions quarreled night and day
Over which would win.
Thus for months our souls were kept
Anxiously a-throb;
All the universe took part
All but Jim and Bob.

The moment the price of a
commodity advances that
moment some ingenious
mind devises plan whereby
the cost may be lessened-
and necessarily at sacrifice
of QUALITY. The advance
in leather has been no ex-
ception to this rule These
are days of shoddy shoes
odds and ends of leather
and even paper are substitut-
ed as a filling; this deception
is neatly concealed-but such
a filling absorbs and retains
dampness-at the expense of
the wearer's health. We have
earned your confidence by
selling RELIABLE Shoes

the price you can depend

be reached by the agents of the new
society, whose members are the sincere
friends of the paroled prisoner, as we'll
as of the convict who is compelled to
serve his full term. The personal ex-
pense of membership is mere tritle,
and should be willingly incurred by the
kindly disposed, in order that the So
ciety may be able to carry on its noble
mission without any embarrassment
from that source. 1t is ardently hoped
that the work of the association may
abundantly show in the saving of many
young men and women whose trans
gressions have once led them within
the grasp Of the law, but who are not
yet so hardened that good influences
make no impression upon their chac-
acters.-St. Paul Dispatch.

will, at no late day, see it placed on the
statute books of the majority of the
states. In the past the so-called crooks
followed their chosen calling with very
much the same feeling that a stock
gambler would risk his money in specu-
lating in stocks, with this difference: the
crook knew he would have to pay the
penalty in prison if fortune went against
him, while the stock gambler would be
forced to make an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors; but, after all, are
not the motives which govern the thief
and the speculator the same? Are not
their plans laid for the purpose of get
ting the money or property of another
without giving an equivalent? The
crook plans his robbery, confidence
game or whatever villainy he is about
to commit, with the same care as to the
successful outcome as does the specu-
lator who successfully corners the wheat
market and pockets a million dollars
by the transaction. lift were no longer
possible to make fortunes by the haz-
ardous methods of speculation, there
would be no one to risk money in an
undertaking which their judgment told
them would be a losing game, and when
the parole and indeterminate sentence
law becomes general the word ''crook''
will be obsolete there will be none to
whom it will apply in the present sense.
1t is we'll known that a man cannot
manage business successfully on cap
ital alone; he must have business
knowledge and tact which is acquired
only after years of experience. This
rule applies equally to the profession
of crime. It is impossible to become
ali adroit pickpocket, an expert safe
blower or counterfeiter by simply
reading the modus operandi as detailed
in the columns of a newspaper. There
has to be experience, but how can it be
acquired at the present time with the
legal machinery and detective system
in such perfect order? Believe it, my
c:ime-laden brother, it is losing
game. Take warning you young men
who are deluding yourselves with the
idea that you can make luxurious
living by the cunning of your poor
weak brains. Crime is death-a living
death on earth and an eternity of re-
morse in the hereafter.

Don't Mind The Kicker.

The mule isn't the only thing in the
world that is good on the kick. There
lives certain class Of men who can
double discount it at any time. Any
thing for kick is the motto of the
chronic kicker. It's either too hot or
too cold, too wet or too dry. There
isn't one minutest detail Of the weather
that meets his approval. He kicks on
improvements, on taxes, and even the
benefcent Democratic congress. Moth
ing under the shining canopy of heaven
escapes him and nothing suits him.
He constantly says, eff had my way
things would be so and So" Good
Lord! what world this would be if
they did have their own way. They
approve of no proceeding of their fell
low citizens, and when mistake occurs,
as is often the case, they flap their raven
wings and croak. 81 told you SOP
They'll kick as long as they live,
and when they die. if by some
strange mischance they gain admis-
sion to the New Jerusalem, they will
gather in knots and criticise the quail
ity and size of the crowns. They will
poke their inquisitive noses around
in every corner to find a flaw. Maybe
the walls are not plumb or the pave
ments just as represented. If they
have seats in the balcony, instead of
joining in the glorious anthem that
swells aloft and resounds through all
the chasms and cliffs of eternity, they
will sit around and look sour and
pick out the mistakes made by their
brethren in the execution on the harp.
There's no help for them. Nothing
will change them, and they must al
ways be the false notes and discords in
the grand symphony of life. Their
vision is jaundiced, but after all the
poor devils are to he pitied. If they
render their neighbor miserable, be
sure they are not happy themselves.
Go right ahead and enjoy the good
things of the world. Pluck the blue.
eyed daisies Of life and leave the net
ties and thistles for the kickers. They
will grab them every time, and then
kick because they sting. They are as
cloud which hides the sun. Its
brightness may be quenched for time
but it shines again with renewed splen.
dor, and so the old world will go on
just the same. Men will eat, sleep
get married or drunk and die in spite
of the chronic kicker and his everlast
ing kick.-Nobles Co. Democrat.

SIX MEMBERS of a private detective
agency in Chicago will have to answer
to the charge of murder for shooting
an innocent man. The man killed was
the support of his widowed mother,
and nothing could be said against his
character, it being his brother for whom
the detectives were searching. The
prosecution of these men will probably
be vigorously pressed, and it may re-
suit in putting some restrictions on the
authority assumed by private detectives
and make them less apt in the future
to shoot down suspected men.

THE warden of house of correction
says: eve do not accomplish much
forreform in these institutions, because
society refuses to lend helping hand
to the inmates when they go out" This
is sadly true with regard to offenders of
every class. When man has once been
in prison public sentiment is against
him, and his best efforts to lead good
life are apt to be defeated by lack Of
sympathy and encouragement. 1t is all
the more important, therefore, to avoid
these things which thus wreck life and
leave little Or no chance of regaining a
reputable place in the world.-Morris

The November Monthly Summary
an illustrated journal published in the
Elmira IN. " Reformatory, is the
handsomest and most complete publ
cation we ever saw issued from a prison.
This number is the Anniversary and
Thanksgiving Edition of the Weekly
Summary, it being twelve years ago
that the first Summarize small four
page sheet-was published. AS the
Elmira Reformatory is justly considered
the model institution of the world, SO
it can truthfully be said that the Sum-
mary is far in the lead Of all other

THE Lansing Neacs, paper recently

Mr.. John Higgins who was for nearly
fourteen years deputy warden at the
Lansing penitentiary. Speaking of
prison matters, Mr.. Higgins has the
following to say of his experience with
convicts: MANY of the inmates we
found reliable and trusty, and who we
know have gone out from that institu-
ton and become good citizens, better
men morally and physically than when
they came to it. In fact, we believe
the great majority have done so, and
many more will follow

Jerome X. Jerome has written
series of short stories for the Ludies
Home Journal. They will be published
during the ensuing few months, nndsr
the caption of ''StOries of the Town"
Mr.. Jerome portrays well-known types
or characters in these stories, the first
of which he calls ''Blase Billy" The
series is interesting from the fact that
it constitutes the first short stories that
Mr.. Jerome has ever written directly
for an American periodical.
