Gust OF CRIME.
In the United States More Than q BIZ
lion Dollars Yearly.

In the OnIteo states MORO nan u Sh
lion Dollars Yearly.
The cost Of crime to the government
reaches the enormous sum Of $140,O0o,-
900, says Harper's Weekly. OF this
sum $S0,000,000 Is expended in a GER
tain percentage Of the maintenance OF
the supreme and Federal courts, Unit
ed States district attorneys, United
states marshals and the secret service
bureau; part of 1t is the cost Of crime
to the treasury department to prevent
smuggling, the cost Of crime to the
army and navy and to the postofhce
and to the allied departments. The
government losses by smuggling and
postal frauds, etc., add the S6,000,000 to
make the aforesaid total In the last
statement, which is only an estimate
Of what the national government pays
for crime, it should be remembered
that there are no reliable figures on
the subject. In estimating the gov
ernment loss at $60.000,000 year for
smuggling, fraud, etc., the writer has
endeavored to keep strictly under the
mark. It is estimated that the govern
ment loses from s75,000,000 to $780,
O00, 900 a year by smuggling alone,
while the postoffice frauds are believed
to have cost the government something
like $40.000,000 year.
The detailed cost Of crime in the
TTaif
ing figures. In 1907 the cost Of crime
in Greater New York was $35,582, 1885,
"a. The state. county and city author
tiles outside Of Greater New York
spent for 1t $42,6O5,472.75. In forty
five states (New York excluded) the
expenditure was 97,0S0,0O0. Crimi-
nal losses by fires totaled $100,0O0,oeO.
BY customs frauds the national gov
ernment lost $60,000,000. During this
one year the loss in wages to 100000
state prisoners was $2S.0S0.000, while
the loss in wages Of 10000 prisoners
in city and county jails was sS3,00o,-
900. The grand total, therefore, OF
the cost Of crime in the United States
reaches the stupendous figures Of ST.
O76, ,327 ,605.S9.
The cost Of religious work In the
United States Is enormous. The cost
of foreign missions, comprising all
denominations, is s7,000.000; home
missions expend the same sum. We
spend for education s200,000,0o0; for
church expenses and ministers sala-
ries, $3.50. 100000; hospitals and dispenr
saries for the sick poor cost US $10o.-
0O0,0 900; for sanitariums of all kinds
we spend $60,000,000. City missions
and rescue work of all kinds demand
and receive 100000; humanitarian
work of every kind, s12,000.0o0. Our
Young Mems and Young Women's
Christian associations cost $5,000,0Q0,
while all other moral and social work
In the United States requires an ex-
.penditure Of $5,000,000. The total ex-
.penditure for humanitarian and reli-
gious work is, then, $45s.000,000. AS
against this the total cost Of crime
in the United States for the year
reached the incredible total Of $1,076,-
327, ,605.99. That Is to say, we spend
more than 5OO,O00,O00 a year more on
crime than we do on all spiritual. &C.
clesiastical, physical, humanitarian,
educational and healing agencies put
together.

Thrilling Experience of Shortman
In Pursuit of q Manatee.

Thrilling experience of Shortman
In Pursuit of a Manatee.
One morning just after we had
started on our daily cruise series Of
swirls in the water near us. the Ian
guage Of which was then unfamiliar,
seemed to tell Of frightened crocodile
and that the hunt was on, says wri-
ter in Harper's. We followed the zig
tagging trail Of muddy water as fast
as we could scull and pole, getting
occasional glimpses Of fleeting
something, until the full view Of 1t
under the bow Of the skiff gave me the
chance was seeking. AS the harpoon
struck a broad back, which was not
that of a crocodile, the creature rose
above the surface and big beaverlike
tail deluged me with half barrel Of
water as it struck and nearly swamp
ed the skiff, and told me that l had at
last found the manatee, which l had
vainly hunted during many years.
For hours We chased the creature,
keeping a li~ht strain on the harpoon
line, frightening him as he came up to
breathe, until, exhausted, he rose more
and more frequently. and I made a
score of unsuccessful casts Of lasso
at this specimen of the wild cattle Of
the sea. Finally the manatee came
to the surface to breathe so near the
skiff that I put my left arm around
| his neck as far as 1t would go and
| tried to slip the moose over his head
with my right The sudden lifting of
his head threw me upon his back, while
twist of his big tail sent me sprawl
ing. We were swamped four times
while working the manatee into shall
low water, where we got overheard,
fastened line around him and soon
had him under control, although when
the captain got astride Of the creature
he was promptly made to turn back
somersault DOcile as our captive had
become he was yet IL feet long, OF
massive proportions and weight
which was difficult to handle. We tore
the seats out of the skiff, sank 1t and
succeeded in getting the creature over
it. Then, having bailed out the water,
we were padding the overloaded craft
out in the bay when a cataclysm left
us swimming side by side, while sub
merged skiff was being towed gulf
ward.

Wishing to spare Bob l interrupted
and myself gave the girl briefly the
details of what had happened. She lis
tened intently and seemed to take in
all the trickery of the system mas
ters: seemed to see just what it meant
to us and to her. But she made no
comment, showed by no outward sign
that she suffered. AS soon as l was
through she turned to Bob, who had
stood with his eyes fastened upon her
face, as though somewhere out Of its
soft beauty must come an assurance
that this was all bad dream.
Mr. Brownley" she said, 'let us
figure up just where we stand, so that
we may know what to do to recoup.
You have said so many times, since
have been here, that Wall street is
magic land; that no man may tell "a
hours ahead what will happen to him.
You have said it so many times that

POWER OF THOUGHT.
One Should Be Careful What One
Thinks For II Means Something.

One Should Be Careful What One
Thinks For II Means Something.
Beware Of what you think; for what
you think, quite as much as what you
do, molds your character. Wrong acts
persisted in will wreck your life, but
wrong thoughts have just as sure an
effect. 1t not unfrequently happens
that people who live fairly good lives,
80 far as their actions go, do not feel
1t necessary to set so close guard on
their thoughts. Those are hidden. and
Of what harm is 1t to occasionally
cherish vulger thought IL one does not
allow 1t to escape in action? OF what
harm to hate II one does not actually
show It? To imagine ones self comf
mitting wrong acts II one does not acj
tually commit them? :,
But the laws of life says that every
thought affects the whole being. AS
mans heart is, so will he be. Evil
thoughts gradually undermine the
character and some day these
thoughts will burst into action which Is
irremediable. There, look to your
thoughts: keep your mind swept and
garnished. And more than that make
the furniture Of It beautiful and true;
for II bad thoughts persisted In ruin
a character, so the best Of character
istics may be cultivated by keeping
the mind constantly on good things.
Very often one is called on to act in an
emergency. and one acts along the line
of ones previous thoughts. No act
Is spontaneous: the seed Of 1t have
been for q long time taking root in the
brain.
OF two men who lived practical
ly the same lives outwardly. and are
suddenly called on to face a danger,
one may play the coward and the other
rise to heroic effort. The result Is no
matter Of chance. Little by little the
motor track Of the brain Of one has
been awakened by wrong thinking; lit
tie by little the brain Of the other has
been strengthened because he thought
bravely. When the strain comes, one
unconsciously acts along the lines Of
least resistance. 1t is then that the
hidden thoughts tell.
We should see to 1t that we think
heroically, think purely, think charit-
ably. Then in such action we will find
ourselves doing the brave thing, we
will act cleanly and sanely; we will be
kind and helpful.-Woman' Home
Companion.
