Now to practical matters. You need
not worry about your rousseau. / have
pretended for so long that you are my
own daughter that I am having the time
Of my life getting together the things YOU
will need. OF course, your mother will
want to do some Of it. and o your
self, will want a hand in making the
dainty things that will go with you into
III new life as the belongings of your
girlhood. I don't mean to be selfish about
1t or to grasp at all the pleasure of shop
ping and planning and providing. l only
meant that-as money is none too plen-
tiful at home and Nhe others must have
their share and their chance in life-I
am giving myself the great pleasure of
helping your mother to provide you with,
what is proper for your new position in
life.-The Ladies' World for February.
Says "cops" Don't Know Where Al the
Graft Money Goes
In the DIARY of a Cop" published in
the February American. Magazine, the
author, a New York policeman. says in
part
There isn't any cop that knows just
where all the graft-money goes. We
know that the captain gets his fifty per
cent. a.d the inspector gets his, but who
the inspector splits with nobody but the
inspector can tell. He handles a lot of
money. If an inspection district. has six
police precincts, he gets. fifty per cent. of
the graft from each precinct, and that
makes some money. The average saloon
pays fifty a month for selling on Sun
day and after closing time Saturday
night. That is a low figure. A little
figuring by any man who can count the
saloons and the gambling houses will
that the inspectors job is worth
$4,000 a month in this district outside OF
his salary, which is only $500 a year.
But that makes, all told, $9S, 500 a. year.
One year Of that job would be enough
for a good many people. OF course, he
doesn't hold ALI the graft. 1t must be
slipped along to other people. Some Of
1t gets to headquarters; and II it don't,
then there is a strong arm squad put to
work and the old system is knocked out
for Q time. A man who represents the
politicians gets his regular share from
every inspection district"
