you men is that you believe crime
consists not in breaking the law, but
in getting caught al IT," said Adjutant

Gently to 1000 prisoners In the Joliet
penitentiary.
AS secretary general of the Volun-

accompanied by his wife, Naomi
Booth, visited the prison in an effort
to broaden the work Of the league and
to hold out to the imprisoned men the
offer of parole under the Volunteers
system.
When you get out Of prison you
should remember that crime consists
in breaking the law Of man." he con-
tinued, whether you are caught at 1t
or not, and sin consists In breaking
the law of God. The difference Is
that you may break man-made laws
sometimes without punishment, but
when you break the laws of heaven
there is no hope for escape. Your
sin will always find you out"
Mrs. Booth, who is an elocutionist,
gave several readings to the prison

DOGS SCORNED BY COYOTES
Show No HesItaney In Visiting Chicken
coops; Five Of the Raiders
Are Trapped.

Grass Valley, Cal.-Five coyotes and
two wildcats were trapped within a
few days in Penn valley by Will Ttsh-
er. During the past several months
the dogs all over the country have
been muzzled and the coyotes seem to
have realized that their privileges in
the foraging line were increased.
They ventured close to the houses,
and appeared to have no fear of the
muzzled dogs.
But now that the fear Of rabies has
passed, the farmers have removed the
muzzles, and for a night or two the
dogs brought down several coyotes, al
though it required a stiff fight in some
instances.
Other farmers in that section have
been successful in trapping the ami.
mails, and In addition to Kidding them
selves of these chicken thieves and
pests they will receive a bounty of
$3.50 each for the coyote scalps.

New York.-Harry Segal Of LOT
East 115th street, is living proof of
the accepted theory that most men
who WELD facile pen do not express
their views so well orally and that
the extemporaneous speaker Is not
always literary success.
Segal is a plumber and he did well
in the written examination before the
examining board Of plumbers for his
certificate Of competency. But there
were seven other candidates who did
exactly as well as Segal; in fact, In
the same language, which caused the
Soard to investigate. The result was
that they and the commissioners Of
accounts, who took part in the inves-
tigation, believed fraud had been per
petrated by the eight whose answers
to the questions we're the same.
1t was decided that either some one
had impersonated segal or else he
had list of the questions asked him
before the examination. The certih'
cate granted to Segal was revoked.
He applied to the supreme court for
writ Of mandamus directing the eX-
aiming board OF plumbers to return
the certificate to him. Justice Hen
drick denied the application.
Segal was called on when the board
first became suspicious to repeat
orally some of the things he wrote In
his first examination. First he was
asked about certain words that ap
peared on his examination paper
Diameter appeared as "diametar" In
the original examination. and on the
oral try Segal spelled 1t "diamete.
