GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS.

4 Retired B1nk0 Man's Ideo q the value
u Regularity 20 the Crock.
An old time crook stood on q Broad
way corner. in the Tenderloin district
late one night recently. Watching .
young policeman trying the store doors.
The policeman did the work with great
care and regularity.
''That's careful "copper"" the crook
volunteered, addressing man who was
standing few feet away.
'Yes, replied the other. Evidently
be wants to gain the good opinion Of his
superiors
The old time crook laughed.
SIT would surprise you, he contin.
ned. wouldn't it, to hear that that sort
Of Q careful COP 10 . dead easy mark for
thieves?"
81 don't sec how. returned the citi.
zen.
Easy enough" retorted the crook
"It's your careful copper that can be
easily spotted. The man who is eoipe
to do Job knows just where he will be
on his post at certain time and can
figure out just how long the coast will
be clear and the job can be carried on.
The careful cop goes mt his work just
like clockwork. Now, with what some
persons would call q bad cop it's differ
emit. The crooks are afraid of these
bad cops, the fly fellows that take big
chances and stay OF post when the
roundsmm isn't around. They can
never tell just where o bad COD is or
when he will jump out and catch them
at their job. See? There is no known
system of keeping track of 'em, because
they don't do business themselves BY
any system, those bad cops don't"
Then the old time crook walked into
q saloon and got a drink, leaving the
citizen ON the corner wondering. The
citizen learned the identity of tho crook
when he narrated the incident later In
the proprietor of the same saloon. The
fellow was q retired bunko man.-New

The Sin of Frettinv.

There is one sin, which it seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and quite too much over
looked in valuation of character. Ii
is the sin of fretting. 1t is common as
air, as speech, so common that unless
1t rises above its usual monotone, we do
not even observe it. Watch any or
binary coming together of people. and
see how many minutes it will take be-
fore somebody frets; that is, makes
more or less complaining statement of
something or other which probably
everyone in the room, or in the car, or
on the street, it may be, knew before,
and probably nobody can help. Why
say anything about it? tits cold. it is
hot. it is wet, it is dry; somebody has
broken an appointment, in-cooked a
meal; stupidity or bad faith somewhere
has resulted in discomfort. There are
plenty of things to fret about. It is sim
ply astonishing how much annoyance
can be found in the course of every
days living, even of the simplest. if
one keeps a sharp eye out on that sid.,
OF things. Even Holy Writ says we arc
prone to trouble as sparks fiy uD-
ward" Buteven to the sparks flying up
ward, in the blacklist of smoke. there
is blue sky above; and the less time
they waste on the road the sooner they
will reachit. Fretting is all time wasted
on the road.-Helen Hunt.

vantage over every other, it is our own.

There is so little to redeem the dry

the materials OF this life are composed.
that anything to love or to reverence
becomes, as it were, the Sabbath for the
mind.-Bulwer.
