MILLIONS ARE STOLEN
BONDING COMPANIES GIVE OUT
FIGURES OF POPULATIONS,
Spring Months Are Favored by
Rogues Who Run Away with EN-.
pIoyers' Cash-Banks Are
Worst Sufferers.

New York.-The bonding companies
OF this city have just found out how
much rogues here and elsewhere In
the United States have stolen in the
first six months Of the present year.
The total, compared with the CORE
spending period in 1906 and 1905, is
as follows:
1905, 1924 S5; 1906, $3.S29, 1893, and
1907, $5,4S2,6 87. Total for the three
periods, $14, A SOIL.
April is the favorite month with
embezz1ers. They begin their opera
lions with the first gladstone MARBLES
of spring, just before the racetracks
are swept up for the season. The de.
falcations, by months, this year were
as follows:
January, $729,715; February, $780,,
161; March, s1,A21,80o; April, s1,1sO,
633; May, s4O6, 1852; June, s2O4, 416
Total for six months, $5,4S2,6S7
In April, 1905, the nimble thieves
got away with $2,333,O46, and in the
following April they made their big
gest hauls.
The banks and trust companies
were the worst sufferers. They lost
S2,0S0,530, as against only $758, $50 in
the first half of 1906. The public serv
ice corporations and the like were the
next hardest hit. They parted invol
UNFAIRLY with. $936,337, as against
s985,2S0 In the first half of 1906 and
s520,901 in the first half of 1905. Next
come general business houses, which
lost $S19,372 through dishonest EN-
ployes, as compared with $1,02O,373 IL
the first half of 1906. Miscellaneous
institutions, breweries, stores, etc.
were robbed of $s17,874, as against
only $459,159 in the same months last
year.
Beneficial associations had Their
funds depleted to the extent of $500,
703, as against $142,934 in 1906 and
$296,876 in 1905. More than $3.50, O8O
in court trust funds were stolen, an
excess of only $4,000 over the same
period in 1906. In the first half OF
1905 s795,513 of court funds disap
peared through peculation. The trans
%portarion companies lost $104, $50, as
against $75,964 in 1906 and 1872, 1863 in
1905. The insurance companies were
the smallest sufferers. They lost by
thievery only $69,56S, as against $137,
4S5 in 1906 and s13,561 in 1905. This
does not include funds juggled in dodg
ing insurance commissions or yellow
dog" accounts.
About one-half of these embezzled
millions went directly into Wal
street, the experts say, where they
were swallowed up in unlucky specu
lations. One-half Of the remainder
was lost in gambling on the race
tracks and in poolrooms. The remain
der was spent in the old-fashioned
traditional way, on wine and women

GETTING Even.

Here is the awful wall of a poet
whose poem was returned to him as
declined" by a number of papers:
Sir-I have received my poem, and
I solemnly declare l won't ever send
you a line from my pen as long as I
live. I should like to have you realize
that I know just what editors Offices
are made of-nothing but parshality,
bribery and corrupshun. Compliant
judges have read that poem, and there
amt a sole in town that won't tell
you it beats anything 1 ever done. I
scorn the hoel lot of you. If 1 had a
pocket full of money, I suppose my
poems would get read and printed
too. This is all I've got to say, accept
that when my name is known and you
beg me on your Bonded knees to write
for your miserable little paper I'll
scorn you then as I do now.-Atkins

Detective pefies the Lash.

York, Pa.-Chief of Detectives
Charles s. White Of York was badly
used up when he arrested Charles
Davis, about SIS years old, Of Nor
folk, Va.
Davis was driving a mare answering
the description of one stolen from
Harry E. Baker of C~ochranville, Ches.
ter county, when the detective sprang
from his own carriage and seized the
mares bride.
Davis dashed him with his whip and
forced him against a fence. Never
releasing his hold on the rein, how.
ever, the detective grabbed Davis and
dragged him from his seat. He was
placed in jail to await identification

Be Glad,

Be Glad.
Underneath the skies above
You can win a lot of love-
Just be glad!
Friends will smile when you come near
With your trimming cup Of cheer.
They will laugh when you are gay
People like folks thatoway!
So be glad!
Keep your troubles to yourself
Never fight your friends for pelf-
But be glad!
Laugh your sorrows to the wood;
Let your joy be understood!
Be as bright as children's fun
And as warming as the sun
Oh! Be glad!
There is but one life to live!
It is gladder If you give
OF you JOY!
Laugh and smile the whole day through-
Make your comrades smoker, too!
Half the good Of life is lost
BY this fretting over FROST
So be glad!

MISS HELEN DIXON. She had been kept
a prisoner since her arrest last Febru-
AIRY. and It was the opinion Of the ma.
jority Of the people Of the county that,
with Jail sentence Of perhaps six
months In addition. her punishment would
be sufficient. She confidently looked for
such q sentence and pleaded guilty with
that expectancy. The case Of Miss Dixon
IL remarkable In many ways. She came
about five years ago from Chicago. where
her aged father yet resides. She was

Of accounts. was made treasurer Of the

to pay for II. Miss Dixon was asked for
the money. She then confessed that she
