 \ THINK I made my great mistake
 in life by asking for too much ad-
 vice. I had read and heard that
 ones fellow men are ready and willing to tender advice, and pushed the thing for all 1t was worth. As Q consequence I got all twisted up and have been so ever since. My wife. on the contrary. wfnt to a lawyer, laid down a fee of g. and had her divorce from me in three months time. The man who hasn't got enough gumptiop to work his own head or sense enough to go to lawyer when he fnds things too deep for him deserves all be gets and he'ii get a good deal.
 l spent years giving my fellow men credit for a combination of sympathy and benevolenee and then broke my leg to fnd out that 1 had been hugging a deiusion. They came In by the dozen to zee me and say how sorry they were They were full of suggestions and expedients and encouragement. Hirnm~ Jones thought 1t would be a good time for me to learn Latin while I was laid up: Obediah whitefish sug- gested that learn 100 chapters of the Bible; Aunt Sarah Brown said that Providence had arranged it thus so that 1 might be near home in ease the baby swallowed a spool of thread, and Deacon Trueloye called my attention to the fact that no man lying in his M xtypS kflie1 by the explosion of his own shotgun.
 I estimated the sympathy of my fel- low men during my misfortune at ten full barrels I hadn't a dollar in cash In the house, and everybody knew 1t. but not a caller referred to the sub ject They were too busy telling me that the accident was the work of Providence and that I must not com plain ..-..-..
 For years and years it was puzzle to me why all men were not honest. I can sit down today and show you cold figures to prove that dishonesty does not pay 1 per cent ip dividends and that the honest man Is always ahead of the game, but yet dishonesty is on the Increase. I went on heapine up the measure when I sold potatoes and rendering E cents where l owed a man a shilling, and one day l woke up to the fact that about all my earth iy possessions consisted of bushei Of old ciothespins and a vinegar barrel

THEFTS OF BICYCLES
NOW LESS FREQUENT

The number OF bicycles reported
stolen recently is considerably less than
the number reported two months ago.
/ do not believe there is an organized
gang OF thieves working along this line,
as most OF the wheels stolen are taken
by men and boys who want TO go some
place without paying car fare. They see
a bicycle standing against curb, get
on, ride Oft. and leave IL standing against
a curb in some other part 81 the city. in
nearly every instance these machines
are recovered.
Thus Central Office Detective Grant,
who, with Detective TFumbo, is assigned
to all bicycles cases. summed up the
situation as regards the larceny Of bi-
