Fall of a Man Who Was Employed to
Prevent Dishonesty in Others.
Criminologists must find the fall OF
the Bostonian who robbed a surety
company of which he was manager OF
100000 fascinating study in the
metaphysics of larceny. Here was a.
man said to be of exemplary habits
and a most generous disposition" who
gave $50 day to the poor. in many
WAYS a model husband and father, and
a devoted pillar Of the church. Besides
being surrounded by all the ordinary
influences which should have taught
him that theft is mistake as well as
a crime, the surety company's manager
was engaged in a business which drove
home to him with uncommon force Its
daily illustration that the way of TIE
transgressor is hard. 1t was his busi-
ness to give bonds, at q price. for mem
in posts of financial trust to insure
their employers against loss by embez,
Element Frequently he was calle2'
upon to prosecute and punish defaults
ers. Yet all the while he was stealing
from the church, stealing from the wild
ow and orphan, stealing from the char
liable society and presenting the para
dox of stealing from a company whose
business it is to insure against losses
by theft
1t may be that some day the scien-
lists will demonstrate the theory that
no horrible example and no fear of
punishment can check the passion for
embezzlement once it seizes on vic
tim. Perhaps the Rockefeller research
bureau eventually Will transfer the
disease of larceny from the purview of
the police to the domain of bacteriol-
ogy and by isolating the germ of en-
bezzlement will hold the army Of fall
en- bank cashiers up to public pity in
stead of reproach, just like victims Of
smallpox Meanwhile, we suppose, the
primitive and brutal method of at
taching them to a chain with an iron
ball on the end Of it will continue ia
be practiced.-New York Press.

BILE they are, even in cases OF long
standing:
L. C. Lowell, of AS North First

had trouble from my kidneys for the
past ten years. 1t was caused by "
strain to which 1 paid little attention.
But as I neglected the trouble it be-
came worse and worse until any strain
or slight cold was sure to be followed
by severe pain across my back. Then
the action of the kidney secretions be-
came deranged and was caused much
annoyance besides loss of sleep. Doan's

age charged by the government on a
single letter was about one cent OF
| American money.
The Russian government at that
time carried letters into Siberia, dis
tance of 1900 miles. for only nine
cents; and for a distance of 1000
miles the rate was only twenty cents.
Russia then had the cheapest postage
mail service in the world.
At the same time England was
charging on short distance twenty
eight cents, and fifty and sixty cents
for long distances Think of writing
a letter that was only to travel fifty
,, miles and paying twenty eight cents
postage on il In France At the same
, time the rate was twenty-five cents
for a single letter for 600 miles. In
| the United States, then only the Thir
| teen Colonies, the rates for letters go
| ing any disance ran from fifty cents
to one dollar in English money.
AS late as 1916, G. Frederick Wright
notes that the United States govern
ment charged ten cents for carrying
any letter over 800 miles, although at
| that time Russia would perform the
same work for an equivalent of Our
| two-cent piece. In 1881 a mail once
every two weeks was established be.
tween Moscow and Tobolsk, q dis
tance of 200 miles. Yet in the same
year the mails between Boston and
New York, only $50 miles, could be
delivered only every two weeks.
Going back to 1874, the mails were
carried in England by horse and man
at speed of not more than four miles
an hour. The same year Russia was
sending her post clerks and horses in
to Siberia at the speed Of eight and
ten miles an hour. It was no uncon-
mon thing for her mail carriers to
make 200 miles in single day.
Russia today carries her mail and
delivers it as rapidly-and more ac-
curately, considering her immense ter
! ritory-as does the United States.
She further does this as cheaply as
does the republic. These facts are
worth considering, because an impress
Iision exists that Russia is not a civil
ized country.
The boy who reads we'll the bes'
and latest authorities on the growth
of Russia, will ascertain that, despite
her imperial form of government, sha
is one of the most wonderful and pro
gressive nations in the world, and
! that, long before the United States ex
listed, she was doing a great many
things that We now approve of orr.
