STEALING

Stealing is a wholly silly business
at the best; but to steal in the
p~cstofhce, in Ii bank, or in any
other organized institution is abb
solutely idiotic, There is no surer
road to state prison than to steal
from an organized business; the
larger the business is the more
complicated the business is, the
smaller the possibility that the thief
can avoid that final detection. The
thief burrows around in his little
corner very much as mice make
Ways for themselves under the
ioors of the s%tnrehouse or a DWELL
ing. Both the thief and the mouse.
have it all to themselves for a
while, and the thief at least thinks
that nobody knows. But to think
such a thing only shows that he is
a fool. His operations necessarily
touch other people, for otherwise
he would find nothing tn steal.
They complain: the trap is set
for him; and merely by continuing
to steal he walks into II and is
caught just as the mouse is when
its secret passage way finally opens
into the room it seeks to enter.
The man who steals once may es-
cape but the man who mako a bust
ness of stealing is as certain to be
caught as he is to live. He has to
quit stealing or to die in order to
avoid being caught. II is a dead
sure thing Hartford Courant.

NEVADA EARTHQUAKES

The Nevada correspondent of the
Denver Times is certainly a liar

Of the damage inflicted by the ter
rIble tremblcr. Here is what he
says about Carson and the rest of
his story is Of the same cloth:
"1n Carson, Virginia City and
Dayton wire messages state that
people had difficulty in keeping
their feet during the disturbance.
Frightened horses broke from their
drivers and dashed through the
streets, adding to the danger from
falling masonry that showered the
pavement. Occupants Of the state
house fled for their lives.
ut is believed that the capitol
building is not materially damaged.
The city water works is said not to
have Jared so well, numerous
breaks being reported. It is rcared
that the sewer system has been so
damaged that an epidemic may re-
suit. Several small fires followed
the quake, but they we're not allow.

The above reads like n Of the
republican editorials on Senator
Nc~lands. 1t was evidently writ
ten by n whose imagination
knows no limit and for that reason
bears a strong resemblance to the
