NOTES OF AN ITINERATE POLICE
MAN. BY Josiah Flynt Ornamental
S Watching nG Frank Stanton FS & & Co..
Mr.. Flynt has here given US a splendid
picture Of certain phases Of criminal Life,
gathered through q close study of law
breakers and tramps over thousands Of
miles Of country, mainly while working
in the capacity Of railway officer. The
sorts of lawbreakers particularly under
his observation he divides into six cate
g0ries: the occasional or petty offender,
the tramp, the "back-woods'' criminal,
the professional criminal, the unknown"
thief, and lastly what he, for want of a
better name, calls the diseased or ire
sponsible criminal All of these types
can be found along the railroads and in
the railroad towns of America, and the
author has noted them carefully, de-
scribng their modes Of operating, hab-
its, etc, with great particularly. His
book is a valuable one in its way, and,
despite an occasional lapse into exagger-
alton, as, for instance, where he de-
scribed the ground upon a certain occa-
sion Of large gathering, as being liter
ally covered with pocketbooks," after the
departure of the throng, is very readable

SECRETS.
0 Rose, climb up to her window
And in through the easement reach
And say what | may not utter,
In your beautiful silent speech.
She will shake the dew from your petals.
She will press you close to her lips,
She viii hold you ever so lightly
In her warm white finger tips.
And then-.who can tell?-she may whisper
ONhile the city sleeps below
Il was dreaming Of him when you woke
But, Rose, he must never know"
