MANY years ago it was found thai
the best way to capture criminal red.
handed was to let him think he knew
the police. So when a new man is
taken into the detective service he gen.
orally has to act his part. He makes
himself conspicuous in some way in
order to draw the victims attention
to him while the real detective works
metaphorically, behind his back. The
fact that this system has been, and
still is, followed by every country, bott
European and otherwise, that has s

A Woman,s Problema.

When breakfast things are cleared away
The same old prob.em's rising,
For she again sits down to think
OF something appetizing.
The dinner she must soon prepare,
Or give the cook directions,
And great is the relief she feels +
When she has made selections.
When the dinner things are cleared away
The problem that is upper
Is lust the same with one word chang
ed
"What can 1 get for supperT
She wants to give them something new
And long is meditation,
Till choice is made, and then begins
The work Of preparation.
When supper things are cleared away
Again her mind is worried
For then she thinks of breakfast time,
When meals are often hurried.
She ponders DER it long until
The question Is decided,
Then bustles round till she makes sure
That everythings provided.
Three times each day, week in, week out
This problem she Is meeting,
And often she is sore perplexed
In making plans for eating.
For one likes this, and one likes that,
And what Is appetizing
To some is by the others spurned
AS food that they're despising.
That "woman's work is never done"
Has often been disputed.
But that she's worried is a fact,
And cannot be refuted.
The worry over what to eat
Is greatest Of these questions,
And glad she'd be IL someone else
Would make the meal suggestions.

Rich Booty.

In 1879 when Delhi was sacked by
Nadir Shah, after he had defeated the
Moguls at Karnal, 100000 of the in.
habitants were put to the sword and
treasure was carried off to the value
of at least $75O,OOO,000.. Some say the
value was $1,5OO,OO0,O00, and one
writer says $3,000,000,000. Again,
when Alexander the Great overthrew
Darius, the Persian, Babylon opened
It's gates to the conqueror, who OBJ
tanned, though without plundering the
city, enormous treasures that had
been collected by Darius. Three weeks
later at Sura he seized $60,000,000. A
little later Persepolis, magnificent
city, and the favorite capital of Darius
was captured by him. The place was
sacked and the great palace burned
The plunder obtained is said to have
been worth $140,000,000, and included
enormous stores of gold, silver and
precious stones, boarded up there BY
the Persian monarchs.

A Burglary Story.

They were telling burglary stories"
on the veranda in front of the grocery
store in a down-east town. "The
mans hand was thrust through the hole
he had cut in the door," said the star
talker, "when the woman seized the
wrist and held on in spite of the strug-
giles of the man outside. In the morn
ing the burglar was found dead, hav-
ing cut his own throat when he found
escape impossible; but the brave wo-
man had not known he was dead, and
so had not released her grasp on his
wrist all night long" "Huhp'

"why didn't she feel of his pusle?"-

and Miss Lindblom applied for men,

made quite a sensation ON Change
and brought the plucky applicant con-
siderable notoriety. She was not ad-
mitted to the Board, but she kept right
on doing profitable commission bust

brought before the public, Count Paul
became acquainted with her. He ad-
mired her American dash and inde-
pendence, and at once fell in love with

# given over $2,500,000, and, with the ex-
NptlOn of about $150.00O given to edu-
atOnal institutions, it has all gone for

cares are Washington, D. c.; Pitts

co, Dallas and Pittsburg, Texas;
Beaver Falls, Pa, and Emporia, Kan.
The largest gift was to Pittsburg, Pa,
amounting to $1,750,000. The latest is
to Washington, D. c., the people of
which city heretofore have been de-
pendent upon the Congressional Ii
brary. His scheme for the erection of
a public library in the capital city is
peculiarly interesting. He has twice
Increased his original donation of
&5OOOO, bringing 1t up to $350,000.
1t is not remarkable that Mr.. Car
negies donations should take the di-
rectiOn of libraries. He is fond of
apks and study and appreciates the
value of libraries to the people. He
knows that they are the best means
ior enlightening and helping them and
that they are essential auxiliaries Of
education. The libraries which he is
creating all over the country will be
permanent tributes to his generosity as
well as to his discernment of the in
@lIectual needs of the people.

NEW IDEAS OF INSURANCE
rome Day Some One Will Organize
Company Like This.

NthC hIts
Ihe insurance solicitor sat in his of.
uce IN the Rookery, and he was abash.
ed. 1t takes great deal to abash an
insurance solicitor, but the big man in
the opposite chair has been venting his
views. The solicitor had been chasing
MIN for six months for a $4,000 policy,
ana then, after he had run his intended
victim into the home office, the doctors
had turned him down.
Told me my liver was ont of ORDER. u
said the big man, Indignantly. Said |
had murmr in my lungs, and talked
ABOUT sister who died thirty years ago
and a lot more rot like that"
IAN of which was no doubt true
said the Insurance man, "but," seeing
that the big man was going to flare uu
again, you need not get alarmed about
your health. Some of these DAYS, when
can't make more than $4,000 a yea1
at this business, I'm going to start an
insurance company ON new lines.
Will take all the men that have been re,
Jected by the other companies"
THAT would be taking big risks
wouldn't it?
Il don't think so. In the first place ]
would charge an extra premium. Ther
would bank ON human nature.
Haven't you noticed that these big
strong fellows, who never-had-a-day's,
sickness-in-my-life,' go off like a child
at tine tirst serious Illness? Scared Il
death, maybe. Anyhow, If you want
to see tenacity of life, just study the
case of man in chronic poor health.
He takes no chances, guards himself
against changes Of the weather, applies
remedies instantly, and the result is
that, while he never enjoys good health,
he prolongs his life twice as long a.
the healthy fellow who takes all kinds
of chances. Insurance examiners must
report ON the physical condition only.

nature, but it's there."-Chicago Times
