The following is taken from the
news columns of the St. Louis
Republic:
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 24-H. d.
Cree Of st. Louis, representative of
the Christian Evangelist and a promi-
nent member of the Christian Mission
airy Convention at the Broadway
Christian Church, was arrested today
as a pickpocket. The arrest created
somewhat of sensation, but it proved
case of mistaken identity, and Cree,
after being taken to the Central Police
Station, was discharged. Cree was &C.
cused by Mrs. John A. Lyons, of 700
West Chestnut street. Mrs. Lyons was
robbed last spring while at church, and
seeing Cree at the Christian Church
Convention, mistoOk him for the man
who had robbed her. She accordingly
had the police notified and Cree arrested.
Mr.. Cree had no difficulty in proving
his good character. Mrs. Lyons in
sisted on his being held, but Captain
Hanger refused to do so.
Suppose Mr.. Cree had not been
so prominent in religious circles,
or so we'll known generally, what
would have been the consequence?
Nine chances out Of ten he would
have been convicted and sent to
prison on the mistaken evidence of
the lady who SO zealously de-
handed his detention. He would
have had the consolation of know
ing that he was innocent, but
that is mighty poor comfort in
prison.

THE kaleidoscope bids fair to be-
come quite a reformative agency.
1t is proposed to use them in in
dividual cases to show a man what
he really is when drunk: how he
acts, and the nonsensical drivel he
sends forth. 1t would be hard for
a man to withstand the effects of
such startling evidence. And there
would be no chance to refute it..
Just imagine being faced with a
microscopic reproduction of your
self when on bibulous excursion!
How chagrined one would feel

UTOPIAN ALTRUISM.

IT TAKES a brave man, a cour-
ageous man, in these days to live
up to what he knows to be his
honest convictions. It is an easy
matter to idealize and give mental
glory to our altruistic flights, but
when it comes to hard, prosy, act
ual practice self-interest, that
fatal spawn of egoistic doctrine,
bars the way. There are many
men who pride themselves on hav-
ing the courage of their convic-
tons, assuming thereby that they
practice only what they KNOW to
be right, regardless of the opin-
ions of others; and yet these self
same men are the ones who cater
to cliques and classes more than
the men who 60 through life
quietly, unnoticed by the public
until death brings to the surface
the enviable qualities buried with
them.
Men going about the country
advertising their undying affec-
ton for their fellowmen very often
have the most selfish foundation
for the altruistic doctrines they
proclaim. Mankind is instinct
lively selfish; no amount of argu-
ment having ever disproved the
statement. It requires the strong
est precept and example to instill
a proper respect for the rights and
feelings Of others. Generation
after generation has been slowly
imbibing altruistic teachings, I'M
til in this age we are able to notice
the higher principles of unselfsh-
ness. We of this day have a COM
prehensive view Of what may be
achieved by human cooperation.
The benefits of united, unselfish
action with "the greatest good to
the greatest NUMBER as a motto
is being practiced by many associ-
atoms organized for the benefit of
the afflicted in body and mind.
Whether the desired end is accom-
plished as intended is as yet an

BROKER CHAPMAN imbibed some
good moral doctrine during his
twenty-five days stay in the Wash
ington Jail. 1t appears that he
used a portion of his time in
studying out criminal character as
he found it. This he probably did
merely as a pastime. Neverthe-
less his deductions are worthy of
some attention. Here is what he
said to some friends after leaving
the jail: Il will leave here with a
different idea of criminals. My
observations convince me that
about two-thirds of the prisoners
are on a moral level with the ma
jority Of men walking the streets
outside. When you come to con-
slider it, there is but short step
from freedom to Jail. Rum is re-
sponsible for the presence here of
most of them. 1t is the greatest

open question, though no refec-
ton has ever been cast on it's prac-
ticability as originally outlined.
The air is filled with mutterings
of further cooperative Organiza-
ton on an industrial plan. What
will be the fate of this modern
Altruria only the future can tell.
If based on sincere foundation Of
honest improvement it may sue

enrichment of a few, history will
brand it as deserved.

VIRTUE has never become so
common that the world could look
upon it with Indifference. Au-
thors, artists, and men of brilliant
intellect are not looked upon with
the same awe such talent inspired
a few generations ago. They are
respected as much as ever, yet the
increased facilities for general ed
ucation has a tendency to mar the
present effulgence of the intellect
that not SO many years ago was
revered. Brilliant men, and women
too, are becoming common, so to
speak. But the men and women
who attract attention by model,

AN ITEM in the St. Louis Post
Dispatch says:
The number of tramps in the United
States now exceeds the greatest num-
Der of troops called out at any one
time by President Lincoln during the
war.
There is no doubt but that the
above is true, with the exception
that it is unjust to call all the un-
employed men in this country
tramps. The allusion is undoubt-
eddy calculated upon the number
Of transients migrating from place
to place in search Of employment;
and it is very likely that Of such
men the estimate made by our
esteemed contemporary is very
conservative one.

OUR BODY and mind are never
both idle. The mind is ceaseless

Both will work in unison either
for good or evil. The mind is

exacts some kind of exertion from
it's composite understudy. It will
ingly guides us into the right path
to follow-the road to success and

reluctant to follow this lead, it will
enforce it's domination, and punish
us by compelling the body to fol-

will bring misery. Activity of
some kind it must have from us.
It lies with ourselves which de-

will result in lasting good, or the

THE AGE OF REFINED BUNK0.

The ordinary bunko man of
commerce has lost his vocation.
Most cases of gold brick con-games
and other specious frauds of the
bunko variety now originate and
have their finale in the fertile
brain of the versatile reporter.
The latter usually being "steered"
into the scoop(?) by some wag on
a metropolitan detective force, who
deems such jocular distraction
modest means by which to get
even with "fy" members of the
news-gathering fraternity.
But the bunko system is still in
active duty, aided and abetted by
the law, and dignified by the cloak
Of Legitimate business principles.
Yet, it is practically the same old
skin game; the public are feeced
in larger numbers than of yore;
they take it in good part simply
because the individual loss is
small. But the aggregate gains to
the refined bunkoers in this fn-de-
steele age Of business push runs
up into the millions. People are
astounded at their own gullibility;
SO much SO that they are practi-
CALL ashamed to admit it. There
fore it is very seldom that we hear
from the sufferers unless a large
number in a particular community
are victimized at the same time,
by like method.
The grade of bunkoism we al
lude to is widespread, and is
thoroughly advertised and aided
by many Of our prominent pub
locations Of high order. The ex-
perience Of people in the territory
contiguous to this city is fair
sample Of straight business as
practiced by commercial bunkoers.
These latter go about the country
taking individual orders for gro
ceries, making plausible contracts
with the farmers to take some of
their produce in payment, and
then cajoling them into signing
agreements" which eventually
turn out to be the inevitable, iron
clad promisory notes of Legitimate
business.
This is but one of the schemes.
Look over a large number of the
supposedly "literary'' publications
issued weekly and monthly, and
you will see any quantity Of ''snap
advertisements" Of this same style
Of bunkoism. A large number of
these cheap, trashy publications are
published by the concerns offering
the snaps to a gullible reading
public. According to many of
them one can learn from $50 to
ST. per week, working a few hours
daily" Any sensible person must
be aware that the sole object of
such philanthropical(?) advertis-
ers is to accumulate a snug fortune
at the expense of that large class
who willingly send on amounts
ranging from twenty-five cents to
$500 for a Free Outfit as their
agency badge for some useless
fake. These bunkoers even tempt
Providence by trespassing on the
preserves of law, going so far as to
appoint callow romancers on some
private detective force upon the
payment of nominal( p sum for a
badge and very readable contract
printed gaudily on bond paper.
Why does not the law step in?
The bunkoed answer, Why! It is
probable that these refined bunko-
ers keep far enough within the
letter of the law to avoid prosecu-
ton. But it is nevertheless a
plain fact that they are knowingly
breaking the SPIRIT of the human

History in Cartoons in the Amer
lean Monthly Review of Reviews
for July reproduces a series of

McClure's Magazine for July
opens with an interesting account
of the actual daily life in a little
"Republic" where the citizens and
governors are young boys and girls
from the poorest and most crowded
districts Of the City Of New York.
Private industry and public func-
tons are pursued precisely as by
older people in larger republics,

counters the same pains and pen

lished his impressions of the
