the interests Of the protective com
mittee of the Minnesota Bankers as
sociation to Investigate the Akeley

but brought back the outfit which
stamps them as tramps. !
Hansen found two bottles partially
filed with 'soup,O or nitroglycerin.
Of the bank with enough Of the stuff
in it to blow up the Minneapolis court
house. :
The most picturesque piece of the
outfit was the darklantern made of a
gallon tomato can. One end was re-
moved, making the opening for the
rays of light from candle. The handle
Of the lantern was a twig bent double
and thrust thru two holes. Another
twig thrust thru. the can at right angles
kept it from rolling when set down.
One of the most ingenious bits Of the
outfit was the wooden case for the glass
syringe which was used to blow the

wood, bored out to a depth of eight
inches and then whitfield outside in the
shape of tube.

The Problem or the Poor.

A curious scheme for the disposition Of
the unemployed and the criminal classes
is exploited inge niously in Guy Thome's
story Made in His Image" 1t is an
English story. evidently based upon the
agitation over the wretched condition of
the poor in London during the last winter.
The period is projected indefinitely into
the future, when a Minister Of Industrial
Affairs solves the problem Of the poor by
founding a slave colony in a mining district
where all who are unable or unwilling to
obtain employment, all drunkards and
offenders against the law are segregated
and compelled to labor unde martial law.
The sexes are strictly separated; the VIC
Tins in this new Siberia are slaves for life.
The Minister is an avowed atheist. The
labor unions support him in bis plan, while
religious and philanthropical organizations
are opposed to him.
The book is a confused tumble Of So
cialism and Christianity, with a vein OF
romance which takes an unexpected turn
and diverts rather than deepens the in
terest. The scheme ultimately fails
through the mutiny Of the slaves led on
by anarchists inc unconsciously aided by
the religious society. The atheist Minister
becomes a Christian and the leader OF the
religious faction becomes a martyr TO the
cause in an unaccountable manner. Evil
IDENTIFY the plot took the bit and ran away
with the writer in the ina confusion. The
book is published by George N. Jacobs.
