Thief Trust"
Wild was born in 1882 He was Bir-
mingham buckle-maker by trade and
came to London as young man to i'm
prove his fortune. A life of dissipa-
ton quickly landed him in prison for
debt There he stayed four years, be-
coming acquainted with almost every
thief in London and gaining strong
influence over most of them. BY the
time he had scraped together enough
money to buy his freedom he
had already outlined his fu-
ture career. He saw that crooks
never really succeed in life. So he

and to profit by others crimes. Rent
ing low waterside tavern, he made
friends with more outcasts and at last
had a large enough following to take
up the profession he had planned.
Calling to him a number of notori-
GUS thieves, Wild made them lit
tie speech. He explained that the
new laws had made life hard for rob-
bers Theft was not only hanging Of
fense." but the receivers OF stolen
goods were SO closely watched that
they dared not do business. So he
suggested an improvement on the old
methods. Any one committing theft
was to come at once TO Wild and tell
all about 1t. Wild in turn was to get
to the person robbed. and. on the lat
ter's promise to ask no questions, was
to offer to return the stolen articles
in payment of a substantial reward.
This reward he would give to the thief
in exchange for the plunder, keeping
one-third OF the money as his own COM
mission.
1t was simple arrangement. The
victim would get back his property
by paying a certain sum; the thieves
would make more money than by deal
Ing with regular receivers" or

himself, would reap a tidy commission
on every robbery.
From the first his business prosper
cd. He himself stole nothing, nor did
he in any way come within reach of
the law. A house, for instance, would
be robbed of $4,000 worth of valuables
Wild would go to the owner and tell
him that for 5000 he would find the
lost goods, The money was paid and
the goods were returned. Wild clear
ing 5000 on the deal. The work WAS
profitable to him and to the thieves
alike. BY the world at large he was

DISLODGING BEDBUGS

sheep into the poultry houses will In
duce the bugs to attack the sheep,
where they will be lost in the wool,

Eric was uncertain how long Green

thereabouts. he bade his son Lief to

also won for him the nickname of

AS the Vikings hastened down TO the
waiting ships Eric rode at their head.
His horse. according to the. story.

reached the waters edge. To Eric's
superstitious mind this seemed an
omen of disaster. He refused to go

road is bad the horse has a distinct
advantage over the powerdriven ve-
hicle. OF course all roads should be
made good and kept good, and a very
important result of the general use
of the power-driven vehicles will be
the great improvement In building and
maintaining permanent roads.
30 the old fogy fellows who stick
to the horse will, of course. derive
material benefit from the fact that SO
many power vehicles are coming into
use. But the number of machine
vehicles is going to increase all the
time, and some sort of plan is going
to be worked out that will enable
power-driven vehicles and imple-
ments also. to become far more gen.
eral.
There are. without question, some
strong inducements to use power
vehicles wherever they can be used
and 1t may be that in time methods
of cultivation may be modified in
such a way that almost all work done
by horse power can be done by the
machine. But will it be economical? !?

Some breeders have trick of send

1t is time to become wary.
1t is well-known fact that all the
