Burglars Besettina Sin,

The burglars besetting sin is heed
lessness. The chances are that 1t was
heedlessness that first drove him out
Of honest employment and made bur-
glar Of him. The burglar ransacks a
house and carries away spoon hold
er, card tray or some other inexpen-
sive souvenir of the occasion, and he
overlooks the thousand dollar bill on
the dining room table and the rope of
pearls on the towel rack. This heed
lessness seems to be common to the
whole fraternity. We do not know
what the experience of other cities is,
but 'in Newark the burglar leaves an
astonishing amount Of portable wealth
behind him invariably. When he reads
on the day after the robbery that he
took Mrs. De Stiles chatting dish and
Ignored her $500 ruby bracelet beside
1t or that he upset the Pompleys'
dresser drawer to get the revolver and
failed to see the government bonds
that lay in plain sight on the WASH

velop his powers of attention and OBJ

Millais' Faith In Himself.

The artist Millais writes J. E. Reid

pressing his belief in himself. When
the Leyland collection was on view.
previous TO its dispersal. Millais went
TO see it and openly asserted that his
Eve of st. Agnes" was the best pic
ture there. This egotism was part of
his character. thing IL was impossible
to resent Oh account Of the manner in
which it was expressed. Millais never
lost the self confidence Of youth. In
this respect, as in many others. he re-
mained boy to the end. Neither was
the egotistic note confined to art mat
ters His public speeches were in
variably about himself His conversa-
ton on all subjects was impregnated
with the essence of a sincere convic-
ton of his own authority to speak
He liked to be always right. and such
were his grasp of realities and his
power of reasoning that II required
very strong evidence and very clever
argument to convince him that he was
wrong.-Youtb's Companion
