The policeman is the last man in
the world to see either mystery or
romance in the criminal. II is true
that he often finds the major criminal
interesting. The experienced police
man may have no very deep theories
of crime But hints as to how to
overcome this defect are plentiful in
this book.

There are many times when a gray haired man in office. store or at fac tory bench, or woman with tired care lined face in some city tenement house pauses from work, looks out of the window with thoughtful, pleased ex- pression and then returns to the daily task, rested The cause may have been only little winged warbler perching itself upon the window ledge or in a nearby tree. But in the song, seeming so out of place in the hustle and hustle of everyday life has been the magician, who pulls aside the cur tafns of the past and paints a, picture of childhood days, the old farmhouse. green meadows and many birds sing ing in the tree tops

Wedding a Widow.

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Would you counsel a bachelor on a love problein? Is a widow with two children, a. suitable match for me? HIRAM Y
 In my opinion. a widow is a match for any man. 7ou do not state Wheth- CT she is too young or too old for you. Your letter did not mention whether you avVer forty or sixty. if you had a. fund of patience.s or if you were one of the easy, happy-go-1ueky kind Some men consider it a happy ddspen- sation of Providence to find a family opposite view The man who weds a widow with children, need never be afraid of getting a f1irt. He need never be without companions on his outings If she's too busy to go with him her children can monopolize his attention. Widows are wHse and know, how when they re-wed. to make home happy for man.

THE WISE LITTLE MOUSE.
RvVirginia Vale. )

1 , 1 Once upon time there was a cat Ithat had watched a mouse for a long
 time and had tried great many times
 to catch the poor little thing. The mouse was too smart for the cat and laughed and that made the cat very cross and more anxious than ever to get hold Of him. So she tried to think how. she could get the best of the mouse She thought and thought and at last jumped down from the chair in great g1ee for she was sure
 at last she had struck just the thing. Out the cat flew to the barn and up the stairs as fast as she could for she
 was going to put her plan to work as
 soon as possible. When she reached the loft she ran to pile of meal that lay in a corner and rolled over aEd over until she was white as the meal itself.
 Then the cat crept down and into the house just as quiet as she could.
 and lay down in front of the hole where the mouse lived. She shut her eyes, laid her head between her paws, curld the paws up under her and waited.
 Five, ten, twenty minutes and still
 no mouse. At last she heard some thing coming It was the mouse creeping along very carefully and looking from side to side to see where the cat was. Poor little mouse she didn't know pussy was right there un- til too fate.
 Out shot the cats paw and took hold of rnousey by the back and held him tight.
 How frightened he was, how sharp the cats paws were, and how poor
 mousey wriggled to get away but all in vain, so at last he kept very still The cat said ".I knew I would get you if only waited" and she lifted her paws just little and the mouse thought he was free and started to run for the hole, but no, the cat had
 him again in her sharp claws. | Once more she played with the mouse and once more the mouse thought it. l self free only to feel the claws again in its soft fur.
 At last the mouse lay quite still and the cat thought it was too tired to
 move and let go just little bit, when
 for the hole as fast as it could and the cat after it.
 Into the hole jumped the mouse and
 out reached the cats paw not in time ! to get the mouse but to catch a bit l of it's tail in her claws. When the
 mouse reached it's nest and told the
 others what had happened and show
 ed them how it's tail was hurt they were so sorry and found pieces of old clothes and bound it up. Some of the others went and brought nice things for the mouse to
 eat and after that the mouse had to tell all their visitors about his adven- ture with the cat and show his short tail You may be sure that when
 he went again from home he was care
 full to look out for the cat, for he
 didn't want to lose the rest of his
 tail
