Jimmy Singer S Mistake
Copyright

IL
Young Jimmy Singer. down on Cher
~ street, was only fourteen years old.
but had come to have a great admira-
ton for the law. He knew that GER
tain detectives took their whack, and
he heard a professional bondsman af-
firm that the police got divvy on all
his cases. AS for pool room men, gam
blers and pickpockets. Jimmy knew
that they owned the town. Now and
then there was patrolman or detec-
tive who would not shut his eyes when
there was case of pocket picking or
a con game, but u complaint to certain
politicians soon brought about trans
fer. At the age of fourteen Jimmy
was to be apprenticed to cObbler He
bolted from home in consequence. He
had made up his mind as to his future
career. He had decided to stand in
with the law.
Jimmy had no sooner bolted than he
began to look around for job. 1t so
happened that a couple of young men
who had just graduated in law had
formed partnership and hung out
their sign. They didn't want police
court cases, and they didn't want to be
classed among the shysters, but the
want of better patrons forced them to
appear in the lower courts quite often.
Jimmy made their acquaintance there.
He didn't catch them at any shyster
tricks, and he heard certain policemen
sneering at their straightforward way.
The boy didn't give the lawyers credit
for this. He simply took it that they
had trick up their sleeves and were
the sort of men he was looking for
In month after he knew them he
was their office boy. He didn't care
how humble the beginning as long as
the aroma of law hung about the place.
He didn't ever expect to be a leading
member Of the bar, but he felt that he
could pick up enough law to enable
him to do as others were doing.
One day the boy picked up pointer.
The partners had been consulted about
a big case. Ii they could win it, they
had their start on the road to success.
The bar to the winning was certain
papers in the hands of certain citi-
zen. If they had those papers, their
case was sure. Without them it was

Olive Oil and Lone Life,

Many have wondered at the great
age men attained in Biblical times. An
age Of 12O years was not at all I'M
usual in those days for men to attain
in full possession of their faculties be-
fore they were gathered unto their
fathers. There is a cause for every
thing. and Is it unreasonable to attrib-
ute this long life, in part at least, to
the fact that all these men perhaps
daily freely used olive Oil? They lived
in the land of the olive and regarded
It as one of their greatest earthly bless
ings. for it gave them health and
length Of days. "-Home"rathic Envoy

A Hard Bet to Win.

In 1895 three Irishmen agreed to u2-
dertake journey around the earth Oh
foot for pool of $15O,OOO. Each one
Of the party deposited one-third of this
sum in the Bank of Dublin, and it was
agreed that whoever survived the trip
and returned should receive the whole
amount In case all died Dublin hos
pital was to become the beneficiary.
On Dec. "a, 1895, they started east
across Europe and Asia Minor to
Egypt, where they took passage for
Australia. Their wanderings through
the inner wastes of Australia proved
the hardest trials of the journey, and
the severity Of this trip resulted in the
death Of two Of the travellers. The
third, Captain Trevelyan, completed
the voyage and won the money.

WAYS Of the Law.

a Toledo lawyer. that the law cannot
concern itself in any case be; ore it
with side issues, these being vigorously
excluded.

no use to take single step. Jimmy
felt that the success of the firm would
be his success, while failure would
send him adrift. 1t was perfectly nat
ural that he should sit up and take no
tice. He couldn't figure out how the
papers were to be got unless he got
them. The only way he could get
them was by robbing the house. 1t
didn't take him five minutes to come to
a decision. 1t might be going little
further than the police when they per-
jured themselves or little further
than the shyster lawyers when they
juggled a case, but he would take the
risk He spotted off the house, hung
around for few days and then one
night effected an entrance and secured
the papers. He hadn't had much pre-
liminary experience in the burglar
business, but he brought off this trick
like an old hand. He didn't even leave
a half burnt match behind for de-
tective to pick up and examine through
a microscope and announce that it had
been scratched on the right leg Of a
red headed boy with a cockeye at ex-
actly the hour of midnight.
Jimmy had to lie to get the papers
into the hands of the firm, but that
didn't trouble him in the least He
had heard shyster lawyers lie Il thou
sand times over. He claimed to have
found them on the street, and the
young attorneys drew long breaths
and declared that Providence was sure
ly with them. They won their case
and jumped into Easy street Jimmy
Singer was not forgotten. He was
patted on the back and called lucky
young dog and his salary raised. and
but for his learning law so fast he
might have held down his job indef-
initely. After he had been at it six
months he began to give legal advice
and to express legal opinions around
the courts. In fact, he arranged to
stand in with the police on certain
things, but found too late that he could
not deliver the goods. This brought
about strained relations and an ex-
posture, and the law firm and the
student of law had to part company.
From thence forward for the next
three years Jimmy Travelled. He trav
eled as lawyer, as a pickpocket, as
a con man, and now and then bur-
glared bit for change. No. it wasn't

Shootinq Stars.

Shooting stars are not real stars at
all, but are small bodies which the
earth runs into and which are made
so hot by friction in the atmosphere
that they are burned up. The real
stars, rs those of the Dipper are very,
very far away. so far that no one
knows the distance. They are bright
bodies like our sun. but seem like
points of light because they are so far
off. AS the earth moves about the sun
it frequently meets little bodies. 1t
is moving so fast that when it strikes
them the friction in the air is very
great and usually they are burned up.
They seem like moving stars, but are
really only few miles above us in our
atmosphere. Sometimes one is so large
that it comes through the air without
being wholly burned up and falls on
the ground.-St. Nicholas.

ROOSEVELT'S GOOD NAME.

| Compare the pitiable human be-
| ings who have collapsed from expo
sure during the last two years with
the superb figure in the White House.
| But yesterday those men stood ora
level with Mr.. Roosevelt in popular
| esteem; today they are 1espised Of
| all men. No power can ever restore
them to their former influence. They
have discredited themselves, and are
| dead to the American people. The
| trouble with these men who wnlt
down so quickly in the public esteem
was that they were not men before
they ware congressman, senators, IN
surance officials, railroad men, bank
ors bnanciers. They were playing
a false part.
Mr.. Roosevelt early resolved that,
! let what would come, whether he sue
ceeded in what he undertook or fail
ed, whether he made friends or enc
mics, he would not take chances with
his good name; that he would part
| with everything else first, that he
would never gamble with his reputa
| ton, that he would keep his record
clean His first ambition was to
stand for something, to be man.
Before he was a politician or any
thing else the man must come first.
In his early career he had many OPP
portunities to make a great deal of
money by allying himself with crook
ed, sneaking, INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clans. He had all sorts of Opportu-
mites for political graft. But crook
einess never had any attraction for
him. He refused to be a party to
any political jobbery, any underhand
business. He preferred to lose any
position he was seeking, to let some
! body else have it, if he must get
smirched in getting it. He would
rot touch dollar. Place IT pref
ment unless it came to MIN clean,

him or 20 influence him with prom
ises of patronage, money, position or
power Mr.. Roosevelt knew perfectly
well that he would make manv mis-
takes and many enemies, but he re-
solved to carry himself in such way
that even his enemies should az least
respect him for his honesty of pur-
pose, and for his straightforward
square deal" methods. He resolved
to keep his record clean, his name
white, at all hazards. Everything
else seemed unimportant in compari-
