THIEVES PETTY AND STUPID
Modern Ingention Has Driven Out
the Crafty Kind.

Modern Ingention Has Driven Out
the Crafty Kind.
"The people who nowadays give the
detectives most trouble are the men,
bers of that vast horde OF petty thieves,
both white and black, that infest every
great city," said one of the most etfi-
cient detectives of the Washington de-
partment THE days of mammoth bur
glaries, diamond robberieS and brill
liant thleving operations have passed,
perhaps never TO return, and instead
of the really shrewd, calculating and
bold thief of half century ago we
have today n mob of petty pilfcrers,
who are far from possessing one-tenth
part of the brains and wit of the old
time thief but manage nevertheless to
give the police vast deal of trouble.
"The progress of invention has put
the shrewd thief and burglar out of
business Say, for example, a man
steals several thousand dollars. Very
well The moment he does so he real
ICES that In order to retain his Ill gotten
gains he must leave the scene of the
crime, realizing that he Is in nowfsc
prepared to cope with modern detec-
tive and police methods. Probably be-
fore he leaves the city kilograms and
telephone messages have preceded him
TO the cities of the United States and
Canada, and he Is nabbed the moment
he reaches his destination. But sup
posing that he escapes all these traps
and reaches some foreign country
why, he Is simply In as bad n plight
there MS he was before leaving home.
Nowadays there Is hardly a govern
mcnt or country with which the United
States has not entered into an under
standing whereby criminals are caught
and returned, and what few and far
distant states with which our govern
mcnt has failed to draw up any such
arrangement can be very easily man
aged In case Uncle Sam wants to get
any of his missing children back.
"The result is that no really bright
or shrewd person would think of I'M
dcrtaking job of burglary or stealing
in this age None but the desperately
poor, the degenerates, morphine users,
the submerged tenth, so to speak, now
adays practice stealing. They are too
stupid to realize the danger of such IA
course and plunge headlong into ca
rccr that must sooner or later land
them behind the bars. "-Washlngton
Post.

Even at seyenty-five List was a pl-
anist whose powers lay beyond the
pale to which sober language or calm
criticism could reach or be applied.
Enough that its greatest charm seemed
to me to lie in a perfectly divine touch
and in tone more remarkable for ex-
quisitely musical quality than volume
or dynamic force aided by technique
still incomparably brilliant and superb.

The Oldest IIbraries,

The oldest libraries OF which we
have any certain knowledge are those
brought to light by excavations among
the ruins of the east. Among these
are the Babylonish books inscribed on
clay tablets, supposed TO hnve been pre-
pared for public instruction about $50
Il. c. II is said by Aristotle that
Strabo was the first known collector Of
books and manuscripts. This was
about the year $50 II. c.
