Detectives in Mississippi.

Governor Vardaman believes
evidently in detectives. lie acted
upon that belief. il the Lincoln
county white cap business, and
has the same detective at work on
similar cases in Franklin county.
He employed another detective
to Investigate the awful crime IN
jackson. In this matter Of en-
ploying detectives Governor VAR
danan seems TO stand alone among
Southern executives. However,
he has set d valuable precedent.
Not every officer is a detective, be
he ever so yigilant. Not only
must good detective be trained
In a special sense for his work,
but be- must have much shrewd,
unerring knowledge of human ma
ture and the world. He must
have great patience, GOODNESS and
courage, added to judicial, fine
|ly-baIanced analytic Judgment.
The mob's prejudices or susplc-
ions cannot lead him astray. He
will examine them perchance, but
more critically than an old cotton
buyer examines samples; and he
may elect to take none Of them.
Would it not be d good idea IA
many cases Of assassination for
the relatives OF the murdered per-
son to spend some of the money
usually spent on eminent counsel

work UP case against the real
leulprits IA jury will not ordinar-

HOMES IN THE SUBURBS.
Comfortable Country Residences Of
Men Doing Business in
the City.

In the east well-to-do families gen
orally have both city house and a
country place, which architecturally
are sharply distinguished from each
other; but in the west such is ffe-
quently the case, states the Architec-
turai Record. There are, Of course,
many fine country houses in the west,
such as those grouped around the
shores of Lake Geneva, in Wisconsin,
and particularly in Chicago many Of
the older families occupy houses,
which, although detached from their
neighbors. are substantially urban
rather than suburban dwellings. New
ertheless, the well-to-do western busi-
ness man, in building q new residence,
will probably choose a suburban site
site that Is containing two or three
acres abutting on street and sur
rounded by the grounds Of similar
dwellings. This house is planned as
a permanent residence. 1t Is situated
In q neighborhood accessible from the
mans place Of business and Is occupied
both summer and winter. 1t has
enough land around it to permit the
enjoyment of some of the pleasures OF
the country and to afford an oppor
tunity for certain amount Of lana,
scape treatment; but this land is and
can be nothing but the front and bach
yard OF the house. AS an architecture
type II is intermediate between tn,
town and country house.

BARBARISM IN CHILDREN.
Savage Instincts Hold Place, Unen
couraged, in the Youth
full Mind.

Bishop Potter. Of Nsw Fork, recent
ly told the following story illustrating
how the barbara instincts persevere
In holding their place in the human
heart, even though unencosraged:
"A professor in an eminent Amer
lean university thought U wise to
bring UP his children without giviAs
them any religious instruction and a.
luaintance with the Bible until they
should reach the age nulnderstanding.
One of these children, boy. Of course
went up to the family garret to amuse
himself one rainy day. Out Of the
rookery there he dug up an extremely
dilapidated volume and dewoured d
portion of It's contents with the great.
est possible interest and relish.
after a time he came running to
his mother bubbling over with delight
and exclaimed: Oh, mummy, found
a great book up in the attic. It's
chuck full of lighting. I read all about
a fellow called Moses that punched the
heads of the Malakites. and there s
lots more scrapping in it,
What's the name of the book
Bobby?' his mother inquired.
"I think it's called the molly Bib

FAklRs RESORT TO HOTELS
Have Their Nail Addressed to Swell
Hostelries as Advertise
meptA


The man who uses the prestige Of
another's good name to promote his
own fraudulent schemes is source OF
greater annoyance to the managers OF
big hotels than any other of the many
.'fakirs" with whom they meet, says
the Kansas City Star. He usually reg
isters "Ight"-that is. with only such
baggage as entities him to the privi-
lege of paying in advance. This Is the
first step taken to establish himself In
a city. The fortune teller, quack doc
tor. the man with a scheme to unload,
willingly pays two or more dollars for
q nights lodging because he knows the
investment will bring him large re-
turns in day or two.
Divorce unnecessary; the parted re-
united; science; absolutely certain;
how to win the one you admire. Ad-
dress Signor Umpterarum, Hotel Haza-
zah.
The foregoing advertisement in the
classified columns may not be seen
by the hotel manager II he misses II,
the man who paid in advance will have
no trouble. Before noon, usually, the
letters begin to arrive. and few hours
later peculiar-looking men and women
wander into the hotel and ask Ior
Umpterarum. These are busy times
for the elevator boy, but after awhile
the unwelcome guest is Informed that
as o convention of some sort is expect
ed within a few days his apartments
will be needed. and will he please get
out, and possibly. be quick about It.
The fakir never makes much noise
in leaving. He has directed his mai
sent TO the hotel, and he knows, Oh
hopes. that for few days. anyway. he
will be advertised as guest OF hrst'
class hotel. In week he'll have
good business in hand.
The fakir who advertises himself
from a good hotel Is the dread OF ouI
lives" said the manager Of a leading
hotel recently. They can rarely b<
detected until they've started In the
work OF fleeing the credulous. We hac
one such case not long ago. but we dis
covered the trick the morning aftel
his arrival. and the clerk was instruct
ed to send all his mail back to the pos
Office. The clairvoyant, or whatever
he was. rented a room somewhere else
but he had the benefit of two days ad'
vertising with our name attached"
Then there is the stylishly apparelet
woman with several trunks who tele'
graphs ahead to have a suite Of room:
reserved for her. When she arrives
she is careful to let the clerk know
that she is expecting Mrs. Upperter
Rich, Mrs. Only Roxe and Mrs. Stand
enupen Divvy to call before noon. The
plan ia still carried out successfully ir
large cities, but Kansas City mana
ger told this sort of social favorite one
day last week that he didn't like tc
have corsets fitted and lectures OF
hygiene and physical culture given II
his parlor suites. He needed the room
anyway, and the filter moved out Sh'
wanted TO know the rate she woult
have to pay IL she remained. Th'
manager SAID $25 for the day, and tina
