There was a few years ago, IN OK
lahoma and Indian territory, little
company of desperadoes known as the
Bill Cook gang, which operated WIN
great frankness. They would Walk
into postotfices in the daytime, take
what money there was on hand ana
walk out again. AS mode of making
a living, nothing could be more sim
pie. But. they did this sort OF thing
SO frequently as to exasperate the pos
tai authorities, and, as result, spe-
cial prices we're put on their heads.
Every one of them was finally killed
or captured, and Bill got forty-hVe

Street letter boxes are robbed from
time to time, but this species OF depre-
dation is no longer practiced with the
success of former days. The boxes
now in use are SO ingeniously con-
trived that it is hardly possible to fish
letters out of them, either with q
crooked piece of wire, or by means OF
string with a sticky disc Of leather
on the end-both of these being meth
DDS anciently employed. There re-
mains, however, the expedient OF open
ing the box with false key.
All of the letter boxes in any given
city have locks exactly alike, and may
be opened with one key. This, as one
easily sees, is necessary, inasmuch as
single postman may have to visit
and make collections from 100 or
more widely-scattered receptacles. 1t
follows then, that thief, if he pos
sesses copy OF the key, has all the
boxes at his mercy; and this Is not
hard to obtain, by fling of and re-
moving one of the padlocks. Among
criminals there are many clever lock-
smiths.
Fifteen years ago there was much
robbing of letter boxes by thieves VINO
worked in gangs, covering up their
tracks with remarkable cleverness
Their operations were so extensive
that the postoffice department made
trials of many kinds of locks, some OF
which cost as much as SIS each. Those
now in use cost only 40 cents apiece

Heart toHeart
Talks
AS 1T WAS In BABYLON.
BuJAMES A. EDGERTON

The ruins Of dynasties past away
In eloquent silence lie.
And tho despot's fate is the same today
That 1t was in the days gone by.
Against all wrong and injustice done
A rigid account is set,
For the God who reigned over Babylon
Is the God who is reigning yet.
We think Of divorce as q modern
thing, a development of the past fifty
years.
Yet it has been recently discovered
that during the reign of Hammu-rabi,
king of Babylon, about 2230 B. c., di-
vorce was almost as common as
with us.
Babylon was a great and beautiful
city, perhaps the greatest and most
charming Of which those faroff times
could boast.
1t contained culture and learning,
wealth and art, material prosperity,
wide dominion.
It's women were beautiful, yet their
virtue became byword.
And Babylon fell.
Today only a heap Of ruins In the
desert marks its site.
It's name has become a term of re-
proach to all nations.
Much of our Christian Bible is given
up to denouncing it.
The fall Of its womanhood is the
chief charge against 1t.
We must go back 1000 years to this
Babylon to find a parallel for the di-
vorce evil Of our day.
Even Rome was not SO bad, although
Rome also was lax, and Rome also fell.
These are the facts, pointing like
warning fingers out of the ages.
Their moral is 80 obvious that it need
not be pointed out.
We may all have our opinions about
divorce and kindred things, but even
the babel Of opinion grows silent be-
fore these awful witnesses from the
past.
We cannot argue with these gaunt,
accusing fingers.
Over and over again we have heard
the truth that the temple Of civilization
is reared upon the cornerstone Of the
home.
Babylon's cornerstone crumbled. Her
house fell, and great was the fall of It.
The noise thereof still echoes along
the ages.
The other day It was found that
three fourths of the homes of Boston's
aristocraic Back Bay section are child.

THE PRICE WE PAY

1t was George Eliot who once wrote
to friend
THAT 1 was not good to you is my
own disagreeable affair; the bitter
taste of that fact is mine, not yours"
She had been very querulous and
unfair in her treatment of a woman
whose loyalty and love meant much
to her, and when she reached the
point of counting the cost, she knew
that however her friend might have
chafed and protested, it was she and
she alone that paid the bitter price.
When she wrote the significant lit
tie confession, doubtless it never oc-
Cured to her that many years after
ward it would stand out to stranger
readers as an eloquent warning to
keep out of debt, the kind of debt I'M
thinkingly piled up, friend to friend,
and acquaintance to acquaintance.
And, to us, the confession would
have no significance at all if we did
or later these debts must be paid,
and that for every ugly offense there
is correspondingly ugly price, unwit-
tingly exacted, and sometimes unwit-
tingly paid.
One of the life-lessons we are pretty
slow in learning is the fact that when
we are mot good to the folk we meet
as we go along, there is a price to
be paid in the end. For the fancied
benefits derived are certain to dwindle
as time slips by, and then the penalty
Is our own "disagreeable affair."" the
bitter taste is ours, not theirs.
Sometimes, in child-like ignorance,
We fond1y persuade ourselves that
there is no penalty and we are not
even conscious of a bitter taste-but
there are the folk who are measuring
us up and persistently collecting the
toll. For they collect, whether we
like it and whether we know it or not.
We may say a disagreeable thing
and feel bit bitter because we have
unloaded our mind, and it may hurt
the hapless person who CHANGED to be
the target, but as the hours pass, we
know right well that we paid for the
costly privilege and that we hurt our
selves, most of all. OF course, if we
are incurably childish, we may not
know it-but there is someone else
who sees and knows the sorry truth.
And that is where the price comes in
For there never yet was bit of mean
ness, a bit of dishonor in the world,
that did not come back to the actor.
Yes, it is quite true that the actor
may go along with head we'll up in
the air and may never dream that he
pays, but that does not alter the fact.
For a man or woman may accum-
ulate a whole load of discreditable
debts, and pay bitter price, and all
the while may remain smilingly I'M
conscious of debt or of the price in
evitably paid.
Awhile ago woman felt bit dis
turbed by some graceless remarks
that were made to her, remarks I'M

Of sudden the thought came home

right. 1t has proven, too, that the
author of those graceless remarks

doubts if he knows it. For the penal
