We're going home with the idea of
increasing the membership of the

warm discussion during II part Of

bers.
Sale of Horse and Cattle.
A crowd of me- large in number

ance at the sale of the horses and
cattle Thursday afternoon at the

the least cessation in the spirited

there was a wide range in the priC-

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
THE TUTILITY OF CRIME.

What is it that lures men into
crime as an ayocation? Why is there
an eyer-new crop of criminals mag
ming that by the violation of law
they can gain a competence and on
tentment? Why do men with any
intelligence at all imagine that the
game is worth the cost?
These questions are suggested
anew by the act of Charles Bartlett,
one Of the most famous forgers and
swindlers in the United States. He
walked into police headquarters at
New York City a night or two ago
and asked to be sent to Jail. He
had 81 cents in his possession, all
his property. Bartlett is 81 years
of age. Thirty of the last 43 years
he has spent in jail or prison. His
last offense was to purchase two
rugs costing $2,125 and forge the
name of a rich hardware merchant
to a check for them. He made his
mistake In making out the check
for the exact amount of the rugs,
whereas 1t was his desire to get
enough change for q few drinks
Knowing exposure was certain, dis.
couraged and penniless, he volun.
tarily gave himself to the police. As
i53le did SO he remarked that there
was no time until a year ago that he
could not write his check for $10,-
900. So at the end he is an utter
pauper and a Jail cell is the nearest
to q home that he can find.
/ How can any nan envy such 9
career? Here Is a man who appar.
entity vas exceptionally successful ir
a the practice Of crime, and yet he ha.
spent three fourths of his time be
hind bars and at the last begs to b'
allowed to go there. He has beer
liable to obtain large sums of none,
but what of pleasure or satisfaction
has this money been able to give
him?
There is no such thing as a u
cessful crook. Even when he sue.
ceeds, he is an utter failure.
