HOW HE BECAME A
DETECTIVE SLEUTH

JIOw did l become a detective? ?"
L echoed Washington sleuth
whose name is painfully familiar to
many OF the big criminals in the coun-
try. Perhaps you think it was from
reading Old Sleuth stories when was
young. But it wasn't. To tell the truth
don't think the man ever lived who had
his future pointed out to him so plainly
as l had.
II was a country boy. and when was
about sixteen years old my father one
day sent me TO small city near where
we lived TO make some purchases for
him. II was the first time he had ever
placed such confidence in me. and l was
even prouder than I had been on that
memora bic day when l was put into long
trousers The ride in the railway train
was a revelation TO me. and must have
acted very green, for l fell a victim TO
the first sharper that set eyes on me. AS
was getting out of the car a rough
looking young fellow jostled me. l was
very innocent, and thought no more

VICES AND VIRTUES

suddenly to disappear. the people Of the
United Kingdom would save e1sl 600 600

working families in the kingdom would
be about one-ffth better OF than they
are at present
Another advantage of the absence Of
alcohol would be that Britain's prison
bill would drop In an amazing fashion.

the country by the disappearance OF
drink. There would thus be a further
saving OF 10000. 600 a year to the
United Kingdom. in addition TO the
s161 ,O50. 600 already mentioned.
So much for the advantages OF there
being no alcohol. There is another side
20 the shield. More than one-third OF
our whole national revenue comes from
excise. The amount so raised last year
was over s35.5CO. .0OO All. or nearly all,
this money would have 10 be raised in
other ways. We might have TO pay
shilling tax on tea. and pence on
every bottle OF ginger beer. The money
al present invested in the brewing in
dustry is gigantic in amount II is reck-
oned at e2S0 600. 900. II alcohol sud-
denly vanished. all this valuable plant
would be practically useless The whole
business of the country would be dis
