Crime is not wholly matter of
inheritance. Neither is it the spe-

Instead of being the hall mark of
lower order of creation than our.
selves, as we try to cheat ourselves
into believing, crime is your and

not a different species-he is en-

His brother, born in a palace,

Did you ever see a Leap Year
letter?
Girls. did you ever send one?
Boys, did you ever get one?
Well, here is one, set up in cold
type and needing nothing but lit
tie establishment to make it
warm, pulsing missive.
1t consists of couplets with bow
of ribbon opposite each The game
is to send 1t, not one, but all the
couplets, on one sheet, to a fellow
to test his regard for you. AS the
verses indicate, he is to send back
to the girl the bow, which must &C
curately express his feelings to-
ward her. This stunt was very
popular in 1904 and 1900, but the
Leap Year letters were all home
made. This one is ready made.
1t is bad form to sign your name.
That is the fun of it. The young
man is supposed to guess from
whom it is. OF course, he may
send back the bow to the wrong
girl but that is his lookout. If he
hasn't got intuition enough to an
swer to the right girl he is a poor

tor says. And that's still more
