Where Honesty Exists.

People in the small towns in Connec-
ticut," said the travelling man, appear
to be much more honest than they are
in New York. Not one family in ten
thinks of such a thing as burglar
alarms, and half OF them do not even
lock their outer doors when they re-
tire. But what impresses me most are
the street laundry boxes.
Nearly every town of five thousand
or more inhabitants has several places
where laundry packages are received
and delivered. These places are gener-
ally dry goods or notion stores, or hab-
erdasheries. Suburban merchants as a
rule do not keep their stores open much
later than eight o'clock in the evening,
and do not open them until seven or
half-past seven In the morning.
This does not suit all their patrons.
so it is no infrequent sight to see out
side the store a large red box with a
fair sized opening in the top. The box
bears the legend, II the store is closed
put your laundry in here Now just
imagine a New York laundry office us
ing receptacle like that. Why, FIVE
minutes after a package was deposited
in the box it would be fished out and
in an hour its contents would be I'm the
possession of some dealer in second
hand clothing. But up in Connecticut
the scheme seems to work very well.
and all can say is that it is tribute
to the general honesty Of the communi-
ty."-N. Y. Herald.

TRAIN RoBBERlEs.
Danger That Seems to Increase and
Cannot BE Stopped.

More than twenty times year rail.
way trains in the United States are
held up and robbed. The criminals
who follow this dangerous pursuit are
fearless, and 1t is said that there Is
but one possible measure that will go
to check their vicious careers.
Few travellers know that since the
year 1890 there have been 230 hold
ups In this country. with more than
eighty persons killed outright and
nearly as many wounded. The des.
peradoes usually work in gangs. and
are difficult to run down After COM
hitting robbery they terrorize the
country for miles about. and do not
hesitate at killing a man who may be
witness against them. In conse-
their atrocities are seldom punished.
and the wretches who have slain wo-
men and stolen property live and -four
ish. waiting for fresh opportunity for
crime.
As Ii is always express cars that
suffer from robbers Congress was not
long ago petitioned to grant Federal
protection to the express companies.
Mail cars are. II is alleged, rarely at
tackled by robbers. for the reason that
such robberies are crimes against the
United States, and are promptly
brought up in the Federal courts,
where the culprits receive severe SEN
fences and no mercy.
On the other hand the robbers who
attack express trains commit crime
not against the nation. but against
corporation. Their conviction, there
fore, has to be looked after by the
state. and when crime is committed
SO near the border of one state that
the criminals can escape by running
into the next, long legal complications
are likely to ensue. which often end
in the robbers going free. At all ev-
ents. unless something Is done by Con-
gress the present danger will continue
to threaten every train that runs

A BoER SPY.
The Boer a Man Of Cunning as Well
as Bravery.

Here is the story OF Transvaal spy
that well illustrates the shrewdness
and pertinacity which have made the
Boer such tactful and able enemy In
the present war. It was just before the
erection of the johannesburg forts. The
SOY was ordered to report on the de-
fences of Chatham.
While employed in collecting materi-
ais he came upon certain secret sub
terranean passage connecting Fort
Pitt with-somewhere He tried hard
to find out where that somewhere
might be, but without avail. Rumor
said 1t was Fort Clarence. But Fort
Clarence was then-and is now, for
that matter-used as provost prison,
and access to it's interior was strictly
prohibited.
One way Of getting within the walls
there was, and the spy took 1t. He
committed a somewhat serious offence
against military discipline, for which
he was reduced to the ranks and i'm
prisoned. AS he had foreseen, he was
consigned to Fort Clarence.
The provost sergeant in charge kept
rabbits, which were shut UP at night
In sort of underground passage that
opened into the moat--at least, so the
other prisoners affirmed. The spy in
gratiated himself with the warders.
and after week or two he was taken
off shot drill, and promoted to the post
OF rabbit keeper in ordinary to the
provost sergeant aforesaid. He looked
carefully and conscientiously after his
four-footed charges. In fact, he spent
the greater part of his time cleaning
out and embarrassing their under
ground apartment, with the result that.
on his release, he was able to forward
full plans and details to Pretoria.

David Harum.

From an obscure place out in Kansas
comes the story that Edward Noyes
Wescott was not the author of "David
Harum," the popular novel. but that
Rudyard Kipling wrote it. II is claimed
that the nom de plume OF Edward Noyes
Wescott was a sort OF pun on Kipling' $
"noisy waistcoat," and that the book
came out under its ostensible authorship
as the result of bettor of bet between
Rudyard and the publisher that the book
would sell under any other name than
that OF the real author. The story is on
par with Ignatius Donelly's famous
theory that Lord Bacon wrote the plays
of Shakespeare.
