Not a Laugh For Five Years.

The extremity Of Dreyfus' misery
could not be more forcibly told than by
the statement that he has Just laughed
for the first time IN fye years We do
not often stop to think OF the meaning
and importance Of laughter, but the mere
conception Of the state Of mind which
makes laughter impossible Is horrible

The Mazet Investigating Commit
tee in New York is showing up the
inetficiency Of the police force.
Lawyer Moss said it is now one
continual round of robberies and it
looked as if they were done under
the protection of the police. The
books OF the police ca ptalns were
in evidence, though Mr.. Moss said
they were so garbled and careless
ly kept that they did not show the
extent of the thieves work. The
"Tenderloin' is the prize field, par
ticularly for the thousands of wo-
men who live there 1t is common
thing for these women to get their
victims intoxicated, or give them
"knock out drops and then rifle
their pockets, During the past
eighteen months noless than 81 900
had been taken from the pockets of
men by women of the "Tenderloin.
From the investigation thus far.
the police have been put in very
unenviable light and the force GER
tainly needs wedding out again.

burns or not; he is cool, calculating
and eXacting.

COLLEGE GRADUATES.
Some Statistics CONCERNING the Life They
Take Up.

Some Statistics CONCERNING the Life They
Take Up.
One hundred years ago more grad
yates adopted the ministry of the Cos
pei as career than any other calling.
The proportion was little more than
one-third of the total number of grad
yates. The law followed next in Or
der, but taking a considerably smaller
number of men. Gradually the law
gained on the church, until it took first
place, about SO 1-3 per cent. of the
graduates becoming lawyers.
The standing of these two profess
sions remained about the same until
within the last ten or fifteen years,
when the law slightly increased its
lead. From ten years ago up to the
present time, however, commerce has
been forging to the front, and at the
present time it appears that more grad
yates engage in commercial pursuits
than in either the law or the ministry.
Onethird of the men who now come
from college go into business, a con-
siderably smaller number go into law,
and very much smaller number be-
come preachers. The conditions have
been reversed in 100 years. Then the
law and the church were regarded as
being pretty nearly the only learned
professions. Now the formerly de-
Spised trade" is taking more highly
educated men than either the law or
the church.
The marvellous growth and expansion
of commercial enterprises during the
hundred years is responsible for the
changed conditions. 1t requires men
of brains and education to plan, organ
ize and erect the monster enterprises
which are to be seen on every hand at
the present time Commerce has not
only become respectable" but it Of
fers inducements to young men such
as are not duplicated by the learned
professions. AS matter of fact,
should not commerce. since its higher
branches now require the services Of
so many highly educated men, be in
cluded among the learned professions?
The commercial development is des-
tined to undergo still greater expan-
sion and the probabilities are that the
demand for college men in it's service
will go on growing for many years to
come.

And down their sides will those who

With hopeful spirit. brave though

For every vale a shining height,
A glorious morn for every night
And birth for lahor's throe.

He Krnt tho Seat

A man who had not been to church
for a very long time finally hardened
to the persuasions of his wife, and de-
cided to go. He got the family all to-
gether and they started early. Arriv-
ing at the church there were very few
hand so the man led his family we'll
up the aisle and took possession of a
nice pew.
Just as the service was about to be-
gin a pompous-looking old man came
in, walked up to the door of the pew
and stood there, exhibiting evident
surprise that it was occupied. The &C.
cupants moved over and offered him
room to sit down, but he declined to be
seated. Finally the old man produced
a card and wrote upon it with a pen
ell:
Il pay for this pew"
He gave the card to the strange occu-
pant, who, had he been like most peo-
pie would have at once got up and left.
But the intruder adjusted his glasses
and with a smile read the card. Then
he calmly wrote beneath it:
How much do you pay year?"
To this inquiry the pompous old gen.
tleman, still standing, wrote abruptly
Ten pounds"
The stranger smiled as though he
were pleased, looked around to COM
pare the pew with others, admired its
nice cushions and furnishings and
wrote back:
81 don't blame you. 1t is we'll worth
it,"
The pompous old gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat.

advertently put in revolver cartridge
which he kept in a pocket with His

his dinner pail unconscious of the extra
danger which lurked in the pipe bowl
1t didn't result so disastrously as might
have been feared, however. When
about half way to his place of worl,
there was an explosion, the pipe dis
appeared and the bullet whizzed past
the mans ear, nipping off an edge as it
passed.
