jurist the idea that the boy was not
responsible for his criminal tendency

tive In character, the principal object
being to demonstrate to farmers how
they may, by their own efforts. reduce
losses from hog cholera. This coop
erative work on the part OF the gov

passed last winter by congress which
provides for a fund of 100000 for a
nationwide crusade against this dread
disease.
The work will consist of addresses
at farmers meetings, veterinary meet
ings. commercial clubs, etc. and dem.
onstrations of the methods Of vaccina-
ton. Particular emphasis will be laid
upon keeping premises properly
cleaned and disinfected and in exer-
cising all precautions possible to pre-.

outlined by the leaders of the fedora

Not sectional nor merely national,
but international in scope.
Not to supersede a single present or
gaAization nor to dispossess a single
present officer of a railway labor union.
Not to indorse any Of the revolution

To insure some security Of tenure.
To secure for the operatives places

who represent now the financing of the

To demonstrate the partnership be-
tween capital and labor.

The Three Ages of Crime.

There are three ages Of criminals"
said Lecoq, the detective.
The first age from seventeen to
thirty. Is the daring and desperate one.
Highway robbery, bIudgeonings and
holdups, murder for a few dollars
this is the worst age, a cruel, wicked
and supremely foolish age
the second age, from thirty to for
ty-fiYe, is the cautious middle one.
Burglaries that are safe and easy, for
gerry counterfeiting word, crimes
demanding neither violence nor pluck
that Is the second age.
The third age, from folty-hve to
seventy, is the executive one. The
criminal is now gang leader. Ha
does not act himself but he plans and
commands crimes OF magnitude, train
robberies, bank robberies, kdnapings
and the like"
