BURGLAR Had Paid His Visit.

Some time ago Brown said to
Smith. Il envy you. You come in
contact with all kinds Of men. You
actually know and talk to burglars
and other criminals. All 1 know
about them is what l read or imag.
inc about them. Now, the next time
you meet a good burglar l want you
to send him to me. Give him a card
to me and tell him l will pay his car
fare and expenses. l want to talk to
him and see how criminals differ from
other men,"
Smith promised to send along the
next good specimen of a burglar that
came his way and forgot all about
the matter until some weeks later he
received this letter from Brown:
Your friend came, but | had not
expected him professionally. II you
will tell him to bring back the family
plate and Mrs. Browns jewels you
and I will resume social relations"

ination against American commerce
interference with American mails and
embargoes on American products.
While diplomats representing al

limited at commercial "reprisals," Off
cials are inclined to view that such a
contest is not wanted. This country,
they believe, holds the upper hand
for the present at least and woNL I'M
doubtedly be better able to endure

The effect of the new legislation
will depend in large part on the de-
gree to which President Wilson
chooses to utilize it. Heretofore he
has been without weapons with which
to strike back against alleged unfair
trade practices. Once the new meas
ures are law, he will have very def
mite powers-the employment of tho

ly authorized for enforcement of the,

ments.
The president is permitted to carry
forward the new retaliatory measure
until reciprocal liberty of commerce
and equal facilities of trade Aaya
