ALL, MATTER OF COMPARISON
Phi!osophic Observations Given to the
World by the Man Of Mod.
crate Means.

"All things" said the man of mod
crate means, Impress us by COMPARE
son. If a man had lived all his life in
a palace it would have been a grand
sort of a place indeed that would seem
anything particularly fine to him,
whereas if he had lived always in a
shack a very modest house would
seem to him luxurious.
IF since they first came in we had
been driving steadily a $4,000 auto
mobile then obviously it would take
quite considerable of a kerosene cart
to give us any added Joy in that line,
while if we had been accustomed con-
stantly to ride in street cars even the
simplest gasoline gigs might give us
great glee. All things go by COM
p%arison.
Take, for instance, smoking. My
regular smoke is a stogie that costs
SLAB a hundred, but I buy also for
special occasions a special brand of
cigars for which I pay. two dollars a
hundred; l buy a so box at a time for
a dollar. Commonly I smoke the
stogies, and 1 think they're pretty
good, at a little less than a cent and a
half a smoke, but If 1 happen to strike
a little streak of luck l blow myself to
a couple of those choice smokes out OF
the other box, In which really 1 find
great pleasure.
Its all by comparison. Some men
would have to pay $40 for a cigar to
get any fun out of 1t. I can get a lot
of fun out of a t%wo-center.
And speaking Of great pleasure, I'm
glad ] have not exhausted all my great
pleasures; I've still got them all, or
mostly all, to enjoy. My capacity for
novelty and enjoyment has never
been much taxed; it is still practically
bound]ess. have got life ahead OF
me, not behind, and when 1 do get
money, as l certainly hope to do some
day, everything will be new and
charming to me and l shall enjoy
everything immensely.
I've got something to look forward
to, anyway, and l think there's some
thing in that"

CAREER OF SHEEDY
One of the country's Greatest
Gamblers Dead.

Sporting Man RecaIled-Recov.

Aided Guerin to Escape.

: Chicago.-The Grim Reaper, in the
last two months, has called upon three
of the greatest gamblers this country
g has known to "cash in their
checks" The term "cash in their
checks" is not used with disrespect
for death, for had either of the trio,
Dan Stuart, AL Smith or Pat Sheedy
written this story, it would have been
the most natural thing in the world
for them to have used the phrase.
Of the trio, Sheedy, the last to die,
probably was the most noted char
acter. True, Smith and Stuart were
well-known in this country, but
S%heedy's operations reached out into
branches of life that the others never
invaded and made him a character OF
worldwide reputation. All were con-
nected at times with pugilism and
horse racing. Smith was the stake
holder for several championship at
fairs and was an authority to whom
hundreds of matters were left for set
Element when there was any doubt
about a bet. Stuart came into promi-
nence when he pulled off the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight. Sheedy was one
of the early hackers and friends of the
mighty John L. Sullivan.
Sheedy, known on three continents
for his gambling and participation in
sports, first gained prominence in
those walks of life in Chicago. He
began his career as a gambler at

when he died. In the good old days"
of Mike Mcdonald and the Hankinses
In Chicago he ran gambling houses
here. One of these was on Clark
street, neal where the Morrison hotel
is now. When these days came to a
close Sheedy left for greener pas
lures, and since then he visited many
lands beyond the seas.
But before his change Sheedy
played in big games of chance every
where and there is not a town in this
country where his name is not known.
At n time he was known as the
greatest faro player in America, but
he had to give that up because the
proprietors of the banks would not let
him play. This was in the SOS. After
that he went to Cairo and opened the

A well-known oculist of New York
city tells, a story of one of his pa
tients who proved rather more than
a match for him. The patient was a
quaint old fellow from one of the
rural counties of the state, SO years
OF age or more, who strolled leisurely
into the doctors Office, and after TAX

including the doctor himself, re.
marked that he was afraid that his

two photographs. What makes me
see like that?"
The doctor, who is something of a
humorist and inclined to be jocose
with certain of his patients, replied
that this phenomenon was certainly
very interesting, and that while pos
sibly it indicated some slight abnorm.

The old fellow did not say much

pleted his examination and having
made the appropriate prescription il

this case was ten dollars.

American Money In Canada.

~" - - -.r..
The Toronto Monetary Times has
been Investigating American invest
ments in Canada and finds them to be
at least 1926, 600, 900. To collect the
necessary information certain forms
we're sent to every United States firm
having a branch in the Dominion, in
addition to letters and forms sent
to more than 500 correspondents.
From the data received it appears
that in British Columbia mills and
timber Americans have invested $780,.
100000 and in mines $5O,O00,O 900; in
Alberta in land deals, $40, 1000, 900 and
in lumber and mines, $50, O0O, 900; in
the Dominion proper, $4,000, 900 in
packing plants and $4,OOO,OOO in i'm.
plement distributing houses. In Brit.
ish Columbia in land deals 81, 1000, 900.
In addition, Americans have 1853 com
panies with an average capital OF
$500, 900, aggregating $780, 800, 900.

Ghesireh palace. He opened his
house and the grand balls of Sheedy
Pasha, as he was known, became ia
nous. For five years he ran the
Ghesireh palace, which was the for
mer home of Ismael Pasha.
Sheedy was the man who restored
the famous Gainsborough Duchess of
Devonshire" portrait to the world of
art, after it had been stolen and
missing for rs years.
The picture had been bought by c.
Morland Agnew at an auction sale for
$4,000, and arrangements had been
made to have a celebrated engraver
make a plate. Some 100000 had been
subscribed toward the project when
the English public was astonished and
Mortified with the news that thieves
had broken into the house where the
portrait was kept and had cut it out
of the frame.
And all trace was lost for 26 years.
To be sure, detectives had become
convinced that Adam Worth, one of
the most inventive and daring thieves
of modern times, had engineered the
theft and controlled the portrait, but
nothing had come of it. Incidentally,
however, the detectives had asked
Sheedy to assist in bringing about
the restoration Of the portrait, if the
occasion offered.
Another thing which will make
Sheedy remembered in the police and
criminal world is the fact he was the
man who engineered the escape of Ed.
die Guerin from Devils island in the
French penal colony off the coast OF
Africa.
Guerin was a Chicago product and
achieved international fame as a bank
thief, confidence man, and all around
crook. Finally the French police au.
thorities caught hold of him and emf
him to the famous African prison
island.
So far as known sheedy was moved
by no motive except pity for the
American. At any rate, he accom-.
plished the impossible and planned
matters SO ~cleverly that Guerin col

to the mainland and finally got to civ
ilization.

MT. Mullen pointed out IN FORCE
full manner the success attained by
various non.Catholic organizations
which had availed themselves Of the
use of ritual and drew attention to
the short life usually attending those
organizations where ceremonials were
lacking. He believed that an initia-
ton, with proper ceremonies, was in
dispensable to success and the adop-
ton of a ritual appealed to him with
great force; that ceremonial found
ed on Catholic-American subjects
would prove successful. The theme,
he stated, would be along educational
lines, which would embrace social
features not found in other societies.
