THIEVES HONOR A MYTH
Baltimore Detective Tells Tale to
 Explode the Theory.

"It is pretty nearly time that that phrase. .honor among thieves shouIl be stricken out of police news,' said a veteran Baltimore detective who re- gently visited Washington on a quiet prowl for an alleged check kiter "It's misleading. There never was any honor among thieves. I have been going after thieves of all sorts, from spark grafters to porch climbers and leather workers, for nearly a generation, and I never met a crook yet who wouldn't do his pal as quick as he'd eat plate of ham and eggs.
 "A little less than twenty years ago three class A cracksmen framed up q promising bank job over in Baltimore. The thing went through on greased skids. They put the watchman under the gun when he stepped to the bank s front door and they had him cordaged up and gagged in the basement before he knew where he was at.
 ''The vault gate was an ordinary com- bfnation affair without any of the mod ern double or time-lock contrivances, y knew how to handle the blow-pipe and the nitro. They got her open after an hours work, and then it looked like the world was theirs, for there was s6O, ,O00 in new paper money in plain sight. They let the heavy gilt and tin n-hued stuff alone and made a leisurely job of dividing the loot into three parts of $20000 for each man.
 "The lookout, or outside man, aban- doned his post in front of the door to at the division when he knew the safe door was hanging from it's hinges. The three were sitting inside the vault stuffing the currency into their clothing and planning for their different hiding out places when they should separate when two cops suddenly appeared at the entrance to the vault and covered the three of them. It was all so sudden that the hands of the trio of cracksmen went straight up.
 While one of the cops kept the three ! covered by the simple gun-fanning process, the other went behind them and deftly removed their shooting tools Then he quite as deftly abstracted tho bundles of currency from the pockets of each. This done, March, said the two cops to the three cracksmen. The cops marched the three to the base. ment, where the watchman was stil tied up. Then they executed a walk.

Child Slavery In the North.


A great deal has been written of late
about child labor in the south and espe-
cially by our esteemed northern con-
temporaries 1t Is unfortunately a fact
that little children are employed in
some of the southern cotton mills who
ought to be at school and who are be-
ing deprived of their childhood. But in
a recent number of McClure's Maya
zine Mr.. Francis H. Nichols directs at
tention to child labor in northern
state, compared with whom those Of
the south enjoy life Of ease and
pleasure. These unhappy little toilers
are In the anthracite region of Penn
sylvania and number nearly 10000, Of
whom 24,0O0 are boys who work for
the mining companies and the other
girls who work In textile mills estab-
lished In the mining region in order to
utilize this cheap labor. Thus the pop
ulation of the mining region is becom-
ing more and more densely ignorant,
bitterly hating their employers, but
knowing nothing beyond coal mining
and for this reason absolutely at the
mercy of pitiless corporaions.-Balti-
