Seven poor children, four girls and

went to a nearby seashore resort, in
charge OF two women, for days out

provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One of the women In
charge of the children said that the
boys had arranged the outing ''of their

is this: They are not good boys by

r HERE is a determined effort being
i made in Washington to have old
Representative hall in the capitol
cleaned out. This is the room now
known as the Hall of Horrors to those
who have seen the statuary in it, but
which is aristocratically titled the
Hall of Fame.
There are a lot OF statues that are
freaks from way back. There is only
one piece of really good sculpture in
the whole bunch of some 35 or 40. and
that is Father Marquette, which was
presented by Wisconsin. 1t is an ex-
quisite piece of work. The rest of
the statues are practical caricatures.
There is one of Fulton, who is seated
in a chair with a piece of machinery
in his hand. He lops all over the
chair, his legs are sprawled in all
sorts of ways, and it is about as woe

be imagined. There is a marble of

Postal Thieves Comparatively Few

Circumstantial evidence does not go
at any time with us. 1t is an estab-
lished rule that the evidence must be
positive and direct. In almost every
case an arrest means conviction.
From one point of view it is won
derful that there are so few thieves
among the many thousands of clerks
who handle the mails first and last,
for great temptations surround them.
as they handle millions of valuable
parcels. 1t is known that these clerks
soon learn to tell by the very touch
of letter whether it contains money.
If so inclined it would be an easy mat
ter for the dishonest clerk to slip
letters into his pocket and open them
in the privacy of his room. That the
cases of dishonesty are comparative
ly few Is high tribute to the moral
qualities of the postoffice clerks.
There are but two successful ways
to catch postoffice thief-constant
watch and decoy letters. With these,
and large supply of patience, the
game will be landed, though 1t often
REQUIRES months, and sometimes years.
1t is one of the most annoying and diff
ficult lines of detective work, and re-
auires the most earnest application.

VIZ HETHER the high price of food
w is causing the public to take an
uncommonly keen interest in domes-
tic problems now, or whether the
cause is something else, the officials
of the Department of Agriculture do
not undertake to say. The fact re-
mains that there has been a greater
run up to date on the so-called social
science" series of bulletins than on
any other pamphlets the department
has ever produced.
Up to the present there has been a
total of 1862, 900 bulletins distribut-
ed. Some now out of print have been
applied for so often that 1t is prob
able the estimates for next year will

stated, when the Department of Agri-
culture recently issued the book on
the use of cheap cuts of meat, that 1t
was the first government cook book
ever printed.
The social science series has been
running for more than a decade. and
has, incidentally, taken in various do
nestle problems in the food line un-
der the head of Nutrition Investiga-
tions." The earliest Of these was one
on the composition and cooking of
meats. issued nearly IA years ago. OF
this there has been something over
half million copies distributed.
But the most popular of all the bull
letins was the recent one on The
Economical Use of Meat in the
Home" This has been out only few
months, and there have already been
distributed 1,2OO,O00.s Calls are still
coming in rapidly.
The series comprises books on all
sorts of subjects-the preserving of
fruits and vegetables. fish as food the
care of milk in the home. the value of
peas, beans and legumes in general as
food, the cooking of vege ables, and
more than n dozen other subjects.

THE Postofhce Department daily re-
/ ceives hundreds of complaints
caused by the losses of packages and
money. Mails are easy to rob, but lew
postal thieves ever escape final de-
lection: they are sure to be entrapped
and punished in the end. While speak
ing of these numerous complaints, an
old detective, called inspector, OF the
Postofice Department said; NO
thief is harder to catch than the one
who robs Uncle Sans mail. The
methods of such thieves are ingenious,
the plunder is easily hidden or de-
stroyed, and their rascality is well
masked by the honesty and integrity
of associates.
"PostofHce thieves are not arrested
every day, although valuable letters
md other articles are stolen almost
daily and an army of shrewd inspec-
tors are on the alert. Positive proof
of guilt must be in the possession of
the Inspector before an arrest is made.

VIZ JASHINGTON.-One of the mighty
w few instances on record of the
United States having been done" in
its cash accounts came to light at
the treasury department the other day
in a decision handed down by the con-
troller of the treasury. In this par
ticular instance the government is
short more than $4,000 and has no
way OF helping itself. 1t became a
victim through the carelessness of its
own officers, and the victimization,
too, was not criminal in its nature.
Prior to 1879 the late Samuel j.
Little of Georgetown owned four GER
tihcates of 6 per cent. stock of the
old corporation of Georgetown. Upon
his death he left life interest in the
stock to his sister, Mrs. Eliza A.
Ricketts,. and the residue to his minor
children, ]. C. Little and Julia A.
Little. In the settlement of the case
before the probate court the actual
possession of the four certificates OF
stock was passed to Mrs. Ricketts,, so
that she might collect from the treas
urer, from time to time. the interest
due her.
Shortly after this United States
Treasurer Gilfllan issued a circular
calling upon all holders of George
town corporation stock. which was

The treasurer refused redemption
upon this Endorsement. Mrs. Ricketts,
then asked the first auditor of the

days, to approve the Endorsement. but
he refused. She appealed to the of

In 1894 Julia A. Burnell. formerly
Julia A. Little, the daughter of Sam
uel ]. Little, made claim for the $4,-
O21.23, alleging that it had been err
roneously paid to Mrs. Ricketts,. who
had life interest only. The claim
was disallowed by the treasury. Mrs.
Burnell and her husband then entered
suit for the amount before the court
of claims. A year ago they obtained
Judgment for the amount, and in the
deficiency act of June rs, 1910. ap-
preparation was made to pay this
claim, along with others.
Mrs. Burnell has been fighting for
sixteen years to secure the money
she thought was hers and is just now
coming into her own, while the gov
