Plural marriages have been legally de-

"The past, with its plural mar
riages, was as good and loyal and legal

Work That Keeps Sleuth Busy Most Of the

"Did you ever hear of a piano de-
tective?"
The city hall detective scratched
his head refectively and then was
compelled to admit that he had never
heard of such an individual.
"Well, there are dozen or more of
them in Philadelphia, and they make
good money too.
"Their work is simple. You see, a
great many piano firms sell instru-
ments on the installment plan. That
is, the purchaser pays, say, $50 down
on a $500 or 5000 instrument and
agrees to make good the remainder at
so much a month. BY far the greater
number of such purchasers are as
honest as the day is long, but once in
a while man comes along whose lit
tie scheme is to move out the piano a
day or two after it is delivered and
sell it for couple of hundred.
1t is the business of the piano de-
tectivc to circumvent this sort of
thing. AS rule, some suspicious
movement on the part of the would.
be defrauder of the piano dealer causes
him to be placed under suspicion.
The dealer can't step in and take his
instrument away under the contract,
and the only thing he can do is to
watch it. Here is where the piano
detective comes in. He hoyers
around the house in which the sus.
peeted purchaser lives, night and day,
watching any attempt to make way
with the piano. Usually three or
four weeks are long enough to settle
the question one way or another. If
the piano buyer is crooked, he is prac.
tically certain to make some sort of q
move before the expiration of that
time. If he doesn't, il is q pretty safe
presumption that the suspicion is
groundless and the piano detective is
called off by his employer, with no
one but himself and two or three
Others the wiser. But the precaution
is a necessary one"

The poet mes the tragedy that lies
Concealed within the heart from other eyes.
Behind the mask beneath the surface smile,
He sees the gnawing canker grief the while.
Beneath the word he sees the deeper thought
And deeper still the soul with sorrow fraught
All things reveal themselves unto his ken;
His chart is human life, his books arc men.
And this the secret Is Of all his art,
lie sees life wholly. Others but In part.
A godlike gift is this the gods brstow.
To see the truth, to feel It and to know.
And thus because he picrces the prctense
OF shallow amiles and words Disgusting sense.
The poet may not follow others lead
And lightly write what some may lightly read.
But true to life his lines some trace must bear
OF LIES mysterious sorrow and despair.
The sweetest music brcathcs a minor strain,
And life would not be perfect but for pain,
And so the poet sings OF grief and strife

before they had arithmetic
Or telescopes or chalk
Or blackhoards. maps nnd copybooks
When they could only talk;
Before Columbus came TO show
The world geography.
What did they teach the little boys
Who went TO school like me?
There wasn't any grammar then,
They couldn't read or spell,
For books were not invented, yet
think 'twas just as well;
There were not any rows Of dates
Or laws or wars or kings
Or generals or victories
Or any Of those things;
There couldn't be much TO learn,
There wasn't much to know;
Twas nice to be boy
Ten thousand years ago.
For history had not begun,
The world was very new.
And in the schools don't see what
The children had to do.
Now always there is more to learn;
How history does growl
And every day they fnd new things
They think we ought to know.
And II II must go on like this
