STATESMEN GREAT AND
NEAR-GREAT
BY Fred Kelly.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-At the
close Of a brisk political campaign
out in Indianapolis d few years ago,
Thomas Taggart, who runs Hooser
affairs, and is now junior United
states senator from Indiana, had a
little falling out with another Irish
man 10y the name of William FLYNN.
known as the boss of the fifteenth
W ard in the city OF Indianapolis.
Taggart tried ordinary persuasion
To bring Flynn back into the fold. but
it didn't work. SO he resOrted TO
strategy. He Matched a deep-laid
plot. which included a special deck
OF cards composed entirely of foa-
spots of spades. With these in his
pocket ne set out TO have a seeming
~ accidental meeting with Flynn.
They met in a cigar store, which yas
infested, as it happened. with a lot
Of other politicians.
III match YOU to see who buys the
cigars for the crown" suggested
FLYNN to Taggart.
That was exactly the sort Of pro-
poSal Tag2art was hoping for.
All right said he. "Or how
would it do 10 play a game of seven
up, the loser to buy the cigars?''
Flynn asked the proprietor of the
store to get a deck of cards
Tagart happened to think then
that he had a deck in his pocket.
ITO save time. he suggested. with
every appearance of having suddenly
thought Of bright idea, I'VE won't
play a regular game, but I'll do lit
tie trick Here. select a card-any
card in the deck; remember what it
is and don't let me see ii. Now put
it back in the deck-any-where at
all"
That done. Taggart shuffled the
cards and let Flynn divide the deck
into eight neat little piles
Touch any pile" directed Taggart,
and I'll call your cara right off the
top"
You're pretty smart, Tawm.'' con-
coded Flynn. but YOU couldn't DO
that"
RE touched one pile and Taggart
called the four of spades.

The sensational poisoning case
now attracting SO much attention
is a striking commentary on the
ease with which the most deadly

who wishes to use them for any
reason. BY q happy accident the
purchase Of the poison was traced
in this case. The accused went TO
physician friend TO learn where
he might buy the arsenic that he
wanted, but by so doing only added
another clew for his detection, for
he might have simply walked into
any drug store and bought the
poison without more than signing
his name.
Quite needless to say, there is no
compelling necessity on any one who
wishes poison for any purpose to
sign his own name and so safeguard
his Disgusting his handwriting. The
druggist need not necessarily be &C
Quainted with his customer nor need
there be any Identification of his
signature.
If the paying out Of money at
Q bank were as simple as this and
as unguarded it is easy TO under
stand how many abuses Of the
privilege accorded there would be
Surely human life deserves as much
protection as money. and reasonable
safeguards could be arranged by
law so that at least the intending
criminal would realize that he was
