LACK ORIGINALITY.
Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
to Justice.

" ny 1iany Criminals Are Easily brought
to Justice.
Zone reason why detectives appear
70 do something miraculous occasional
" is that there is after all very little
originality in criminals. said one of
Chief Ha1en's sleuthhounds recently.
When a man sets out 70 get money
by crooked means, he seldom sits down
and evolves a new plan On the con
tIary, he evidently thinks Of the smart
cases he has heard Of at different times,
makes up his mind which suits him
best and copies the plan adopted very
closely indeed
Hence, when the detective sets out,
he has, in many instances. quite a
string of precedents 70 take as guides 70
the course the criminal viii probably
pursue.
Zone case, years ago, that helped me
immensely in the business, was a forg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind
Il obtained access to hi room and
found that he had developed partial
ity for cutting scraps from newspapers
There was whole drawerful of these,
and went through them carefully.
Several had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared TO
be pretty badly fingered described how
a forger had got away in woman's at
tire
Il worked on the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol-
lowed it up until finally got on the
track and captured the criminal
The capture was regarded as a very
remarkable one, but, as a matter Of
fact, tie runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable elew. If he had
taken the precaution to burn that cut
ting, be might have escaped capture al
together. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Here again it seems to me that we

plan Of promoting a man who had earn

the policeman's views ON the tariff or
the currency than we did for those Of
the burglar. Our interest and the inter
est Of citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do his duty. If he did his duty, we
were for him; if he did not, we were
against him. In neither event did we

some slight appreciation of what was
implied by the words honor and up

eminently necessary and useful, but
when they are seized by professional
spoils politicians of low morality, who
run the machine in their own inter

defy decency and rail against that de-
