Well, We don't know what pay they do receive, but if they are receiving $3 or $3.50 per day 1t is enough, say $1.75 per day for walking around. 75 cents per day for looking pleasant and the other dol lar for keeping awake while on duty; but $35O is surely enough for the blue coated, brass buttoned street walkers, and the police board should get nine months in jail for fining a "cop" for not arresting a little boy for doing something he did not see and knew nothing about.

HUSBAND LOST FOR YEARS
FOUND AT LAST.
Rmarkable Case Of Sudden Failure o.
Memory, and Of Its Equally SUD
den Recovery IN Presence Of
Loved One.


The first scene of this drama be-
gan in July. 1898. Then it was that
the Liverpool papers announced: 'Mr
John Curry, gentleman well-known
in shipping circles, has disappeared
in most mysterious circumstances"
Such are the cold-blooded announce
ments Of the press that conceal
world Of romance. Fortunately the
usual inference Of money troubles
could be easily refuted Thus the dis
appearance of John Curry became a
still greater mystery in that no cause
could be assigned for It,
Meanwhile at his home. a wife
mourned for her husband. Was he
dead or was be still alive? The lat
ter thought seemed scarcely conceiv-
able but it was not without pogsibil-
fly. Yet, if her husband were indeed
living why had he thus brought sor-
row to her SO cruelty and unexpect-
edly?
Thus his widow, for such at times
she felt she must be, at others that
she could not be, mourned and at the
same time by advertisements in all
most every paper sought to CLEAN
some news Of her lost husband. Yet
none was forthcoming.
Months went by and then a year
Mrs Curry decided to leave Liverpool
and to join her sister who was living
in New York city. Having sold her
husbands business and invested the
proceeds, she set sail for America.
Years passed on; somehow the con.
viction that her husband was dead, in
stead Of being strengthened by the
lapse of time, diminished In its place
there arose, at first dimly, cherished
hope that something must have oc
Cured to him that prevented his com
ing back to her for some time.
Visions crept up before her eyes Of
his return one day, and she felt q
keen delight in the thought that the
money which she had invested haC
increased even more than If 1t hat
been in her husbands former bust
ness. What a Joy it would be to tel
him Of this should he come back.
Indirectly it was an interest in
good works that brought to pass wha

Atlantis Theory

According to the anc.ents from
whom we have our first intimation Of
the existence Of Atlantis, there once
existed in the Atlantic ocean. opposite
Mt. Atlas, a great island adorned
with every beauty and possessed Of a
numerous population. Its princes were
powerful and they invaded Europe and
Africa where they were victorious I'M
til finally they were defeated by the
Athenians and their allies.
After this, mythology says, the in
habitants of Atlantis degenerated in
to impiety and the great island was.

to study the ethnology of the island
and who spent several seasons there,
has formed a new opinion altogether
and declares that the theory that
the early people Of that island and
the adjoining islands came from Yu-
catan and that the early Yucatanese
were immigrants from the island OF
Atlantis, is quite wrong He says
that the early Porto Ricans came
from South America with which the
islands were once connected.
Referring directly to the theory Of
Atlantis DR.. Fewkes says in bis re-
port: 1T is pertinent in the consider
alton Of the peopling Of the West In
dies to give weight to the possibility
that profound geological changes in
the contours Of the islands may have
taken place since man first colonized
them. Have the lesser Antilles been
geologically connected with South
America in times SO recent that man
may have migrated to them dry-shod,
or was Cuba continuous with North
America at the time when the former
received its first human inhabitants?
Those who have investigated the
subject claim great age for the re-
mains Of man in these regions. Gil
matt conditions such as existed, for
instance in the glacial period, may
have rendered the greater part OF
Z North America UNIT for human oceu-
patton, but man may have lived in
the West Indies when the whole north
ern part of North America was un-
inhabitable and the Antilles were con
: tinuous land from north to south"
Thus the government assails the
theory of Atlantis by inserting the
words north to south. which former
y read "east to west"
This is a shaft at the theory held
by learned men Of note that Yucatan
J was the original distributing point at
this side Of the globe and that while

; the people Of Atlantis came from
