Der of the secret service. "In the old
days my speciality was to look after
the makers of counterfeit money, and
more than once l got clues that led
to the capture of dangerous criminals
through a communication which was
either unsigned or signed with some

Generally the writer's of these I'M
signed favors are men who have been
connected with the illegitimate prac-

They have been ill-treated by their
principals and the peaching is done
with a view to even up things. Very
often a woman who has been ill-used
or tilted by a violator of the federal
statutes will do the same informing

1t seems to me that the chief stresL
of my life has arisen from the civil
war of two tendercies-t artistic
and the practical.
My artistic self and I lie under the
pine tree in the back yard, staring
blankly and gloriously into the blue;
we purr and bask and begin to see a
Fision-when up bounces my practical
self, fetches US a slap on the ears and
cries; up! Up! The stockings are to
darn, the pickles are to brew, and
there's company coming to support"
Or again, my practical self and |
are being happy over trimming a hat
Or refreshing a sorrowful chair with
a glad garment of black paint. We
pin and tie, or mix and slap with a
swinging brush-stroke, when my artis-
tic hall peers in at us, and smiles
cynically. Folly" he says, in the
scornfuI music of his heaven-haunted
voice. What earthly treasure you
prepare for moth and rust! The hat
Is a cheap vanity; the chair will
molder in the garnet; and here am
with a song to sing, and a vision of
strong angels to body forth. Come
away! Come awayi"-Atlantic

is set forth that it was his duty to
kill any man who aspired to a third
term
Quick action on the part of by.
ISLANDERS alone saved him from sud-

He was hustled to the police sta.
ton, where he first refused to give
his name and reiterated time and
time again that he was justified in
killing the colonel and was sorry
that he had not done so.
He said that he had been trying;
to get a chance to fire the shot that
would remove Roosevelt from the
world for a long while, but had been
unable to get an opportunity.
Admitting his guilt in district
court to a charge of assault with in
tent to kill and murder, and waving
preliminary examination, John
Schrank, would-be assassin of the
former president, was bound over to
municipal court for trial at the pres
ent term. Seeming wholly uncon-

speedy trial, made by Judge Neele
B. Neelen, with the answer: 81 have

scores of persons gathered close to
the prisoner. There was no violence
even suggested, for the crowd was
only curious one After the crowd
had been forced back to their seats
the prisoner was led back to the bull
pen" Here he sat alone, the other
prisoners crowding away from him
