Stories of Burglars Being Brave Are
Ali Bosh.


BOLD burglars, or bold crooks OF

their victims have any Idea of. They
don't succeed because they are bold
or have bravery that amounts to more
than sublime assurance, but because
the great majority of their victims are

penitentiary at Joliet, Ill. "A burg
lar with sense" he continued, knows
that people will get out of his way
allow him to escape rather than run
the risk OF having their own skins
hurt. have known a man to lie
awake in bed and make believe he was
asleep. hoping that the burglar In his
room would get through his work
and hurry away without hurting him.
He was a coward, and the burglar,
who was just as big a coward, took
advantage of the fact. He knew the
man was awake. If that man had
moved the burglar would have "ske-
daddled," with visions of bullet be-
hind him. OF course, if burglar is
cornered, he is like a rat in the same
fix-he will fight.
"Cowardice simply invites burglars.
If the rule was to receive burglars
with club or revolver there would
be lots fewer in the business. If men
were willing to take little chance of
being hurt burglars wouldn't take
chances with them. No men are more
careful of their hides than burglars,
and their courage amounts only to a
reliance on the weakness of human
nature. Think of the cowardice
which allows two or three men to hold
up two or three dozen men in rail-
way train. A little grit would en-
able them to overthrow the highway
men in a minute, but each one is
afraid to lead, and they submit like
sheep. The profession understands
this. After two or three cases at
jumping on the train robbers-even at
the risk of some injury or even death
there would be no more train rob-
berries. But people submit and the
business goes on. Bravery of burg

three of the missions, l believe, and
have traversed a goodly portion of the
original road at various times, which
was used by the Franciscans and their
followers and whose surface, as it re-
mains today, was largely rounded and
smoothed by the rawhide sandals upon
their feet.
