a crime which entailed much peril.

Odd Whims of Collectors

" HERE are fads and fads. but
there is one that sometime or
other has taken hold of nearly
eyerybody--the collecting" fad II
there are anywhere men or women
who have not INDUCED in it, they
are themselves unique enough for
collection, for the habit is we'll nigh
universal, claiming rich and poor,
high and low alike. In boyhood, it
begins with the fad of collecting
stamps, tobacco tags, cigar bands,
marbles and like things that are
within any lads reach. In manhood
it manifests itself in the collection of
more difficult and expensive things
rare books, theatre programs, costly
china, old laces, valuable paintings,
precious stones, odd bits of jewelry,
ancient coins, old newspapers, and
what not Sometimes immense sums
OF money are invested by the rich in
their collections, as much as $500
having been paid for rare paintings,
hike the HOlbein, which was recently
purchased by a mysterious American
millionaire in England to the amaze
ment and dislike of Englishmen. ].
Pierpont Morgan has an expensive
collection fad-pictures and other
works of art; it has cost him many
millions already Sometimes many
thousands OF dollars are paid for rare
coins.
One of the oldest collections was that

that are connected with famous
crimes.
Prince Bismarck collected Their
mometers. George w. had more than
ten thousand teapots piled in pyra-
mids in the Brighton Pavilion.
Charles Rothschild has spent hun
dreds of pounds in collecting speci-
mems of fieas. Laura b. Starr, the
authOress, collects children's dolls
from all over the world.
Scores of enthusiasts are at this
present moment engaged in collect
ing railway tickets, often at consid-
cradle risk and expense to them
selves. Others pin their faith to the
ater checks, to cigar bands, to Gig
arctic boxes. A famous lady novel
ist has collected buttons for over
twenty years.

what of the present administration,
Mr.. Lawler? What are your impress
sions?"
The distinguished young attorney
paused a moment. Then he said, mean
ingly:
THE administration is distinguished
by having in its personnel an almost
uniformly high class of officers. They
are able and fearless, very quiet in
their methods, but seemingly compe-
tent and aggressive. In the cabinet all
save two are attorneys, and all are ex-
perts in their particular branches.
There appears to have been an effort
made to select men who would say lit
tie and accomplish results. 1t is n
businesslike administration primarily.
Perhaps you newspaper men would
like it built on lines more pyrotechnic,
but for the best interests of the coun-
try at large it seems to me there is no
material Improvement possible"
Mr.. Lawler is the Master Mason of
the state of California, and part of his
business while here is to attend the
conclave of the high lodges of that or
der in San Francisco early in October.
Until that time he will be at his homo
in Los Angeles, according to his pres
ent plans.
