One Of the lamentable effects of the

OF the Old prophecies by soothsayers,
palmisters, astrologers and other pro-
fessional croakers of mischief. At the
best there is too much superstition in

be mitigated by tales of the accident of
prophecy. When one prophecy is by
chance fulfilled the silly world quickly

Can anything excuse thief? When n
man has education and good BRAIN
when he knows that there Is always
reckoning for sin and that he who
sows trouble must reap shame. can
there be a valid excuse that will set
him right with the public? There is
the case of Charles S. Shivler, and

that woman became a confirmed in
valid. There are men and men. Some
forget love when sickness comes. They
don't want to be chained to n hospital
And others love most when sickness
and adversely come. Shivler knew
that his wife could never be strong
and well again. When he realized
that the light of his life was destined
to fade away like broken flower n
great tenderness took possession of
him He made up his mind that her
every wish should be gratitied: that
her home should be bright; that he
would surround her with every com

was a thief for her sake. He was
treasurer of the American District
Telegraph company in Brooklyn. and
he looted the funds of the concern for
years to buy things for the sick won

with his eyes open. He knew all
about the consequences. He knew

beings exist. And he kept on steal
ing, his only desire being to postpone
the crash and prison till after he had
kissed the dead lips of his wife. The
crash came, but the funeral was over,
and Charles S. Shyler said to the au-
thOrities: II am thief. and I'm ready
to take the consequences, gentlemen
What a mistake he made. How little
he knew ahOut wOmen-about that
woman who was his wife. Couldn't

does not enter her life? He loved her
and he harmed her, and 1t is well that
she could creep into her grave before
she could learn that man made a

is easy to be sorry for the man. 1t Is
easy to shed tears over the story OF a
great mistake and great affection.

for men who patiently devote their
