'
 These three old men dedicated their lives to crime. The oldest of the three has spent large part of the past 50 years in prison. His two companions have similar jail records. At the time of life when half the energy and re- sourcefulness they devoted to crime would have made them successful in some honest business or profession, they were caught at thir old tricks one had opened the door of paying tellers cage with his cane-and the chances are that all three will again be doing time"
 Criminology can point to lasting re- formation, but it is the exception rather than the rule, if we study the careers of criminals like these old crooks who viii die as they have lived, enemies to society. The theory that criminals, like poets, are born is easi- ly susceptible of proof. A man may fall and never fall in that particular way again, but the professional thief, like the dipsomaniac, is in the grip of a habit he probably inherited

Radical Departure in
 Newspaper Management

171 HE most unique clause in the will
 O of the late James Gordon Ben nett, proprietor of the New York Herald, provided that the Herald and the Telegram should be utilizedto sup port a home for newspaper men, named in honor of his father.
 It is probable that never before was such large fortune, approximately $15,000,000 intrusted so implicitly to the keeping of friends. It is touch ing evidence of the love MT. Ben nett had for his friends and his faith in their integrity that those who were named his executors will have practi- cally no restrictions placed on them in carrying out his directions and will have full control, not only of the James Gordon Bennett home, but also of the two valuable newspaper prop critics.
 This experiment in new form of altruism will be watched with the keenest interest, particularly by news paper men. The success or failure of the plan will depend on the choice of executives made to manage the two newspapers, one of them, the Herald, among the greatest in America. MT. Bennett stipulated that the policy of the Herald and the Telegram remain unchanged. He gave the bulk of his fortune to establish and maintain the Bennett home. It seems to have been a plan he cherished for long time.
 While the attitude of some editors and publishers is frankly skeptical, all unite in hoping that the Bennett memorial will be all it's founder in- tended and the Bennett newspapers wifi continue to flourish under the con- trol of directorate.

It is hard to make the hopeful grad uate believe that the day will come when he won't pay any attention to the fact that he has bags in the knees of his pants
 The reason why Friend Husband likes to lend Friend Wife a pencil is because he knows she :s gong to break the point off and Is scing to sharpen it with a pair of scissors.
 husband give her much of anything else But he usually nas to give her her own way.
 If d mans children are so good that he brags about the way he has trained them. it is a sign that his wife did it.
 The girl who says she hates you for kissing her when you had an opportunity would probably hate you twice as much if you hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity.
 Agents usually manage to make a. good living because a woman believes that anything that is cheap is a bargain even if 1t is useless.
 When girl who is making $l0 a week finds that she can't make both ends meet on suck . sn lary, she gets married be- cause she knows that she can live on half of the sl5 a week her husband makes.
 Why is it that the things you have no use for are so cheap and that the things you like are so expensive?
 The more ignorant a man is. the more time he srends in handing out informa- ton to cthers. It doesn't take new hired girl long to get acquainted with the family skele- ton.
 When father pats mother on the back and tells her what fine supper he had i and what a wonderful cook she is, mother knows that he is getting ready to tell her that he is going down town because he has an impcrtant business engage i ment at s o'clock.

Promise of Nation s
 Largest Corn Crop

1.-THE United States department of
 0 agriculture's July report fore casts a corn crop of 3,160,000, 1000 bushels, which is above the highest record production.
 This country's corn harvest has gone over the three-billion mark. only twice before the present year. In 1912 the yield was 3,124,746,0 ,000 bushels, and in 1915 it was 3,054, ,535 900 bushels.
 A month ago the governments estimate of the wheat crop was 931,- 100000 bushels with a probability of Ieven a larger yield, but there has been a deterioration and the forecast Inow is for S91 ,000, 900 bushels. Even this is a bumper. The only billion bushel crop ever harvested was in 1915. The largest crop before that was in 1914, when it totaled the same as is indicated for this year. In 1916 and 1917 the wheat crops were short. But with a record breaking corn crop and wheat crop well above the ten-year average the allies will be

 T rode through your residence sec ton today and was surprised at the beauty of the scenery and the splen- did homes I had not imagined from what l had heard of Birmingham that you had such an attractive city. l can hardly realize that only a few years ago this teeming city of over 100000 people. with it's factories and furnaces and mills, was a mere swamp.
 And with all their activity along industrial lines they have time to en- tertain strangers and make them feel at home. Their hospitality is truly wonderful

Great Britain s
Democratic Rule

1NNAVID LLOYD GEORGES tribute @D to the British sovereign in nov ing resolution in the House of Com mons congratulating King George and Queen Mary on the twenty-fifth an- niversary of their marriage was sig nificant, because it emphasized the fact that Great Britain's form of gov ernment is democratic all but in name. With few exceptions the nations of the old world that still hold on to royalty are ruled in large measure by the people. But the most liberal of monarchies seem autocratic when com pared with England's system. where the sovereign "reigns but does not rule"
 British statesmen have recently discussed the feasibility of federaliz- ling the empire when the war IS over lThe federal scheme appeals strongly to the imagination of progressive politicians, and radical changes in colonial policy may be expected. Canada and all the other "possessions" | of the crown will eventually become states of the empire with full repre- lsentation.
 But anomalous though it may seem, the crown will remain Such at any rate is the premier's view When ancient thrones are tottering and monarchs are being deprived of their iscepters in other lands," MT. Lloyd George said, "the British throne has become more firmly established than ever on the only foundation that is possible, namely, the lasting affection of good will of the people,
 Since all power is derived from free electorate and the government IS directed by responsible leader, as- sisted by ministers of his choosing, why, is a question frequently asked, does democratic England continue to support powerless crowned head ?"
 Many answers might be given, but the principal reason is bound up in sentiment and the love of tradition. And so long as Great Britain has a government by the people and for the people, with the crown only as a sym bol of authority, the democraces in other lands will not criticize or bother. 1 < # T.

 Boys should be sent from the city to aid the farmer in the present cir cumstances.

 In the German press Karl Rosner who is referred to, according to news dis patches, IS the Emperors press agent . tells story of how the frogs in the marshes helped the Germans win the battle of the Chemin- des-Dames. There were so many frogs and they made so much noise the Germans were enabled to bring up their guns. ammunition and supplies, and make all preparation for the attack without discovery Even when the Germans turned loose their blg guns in the attack the frogs croaked and drowned the sound of the guns so tha . the allies were not able to locate them.
 People have been wondering for long time what had become of the old-time Wichita correspondent, and the man whc afterward went to Mole St. Nicholas and wrote war story every day during the SpaniSh-A American war. So he's in Ger many, is he. and has become iiie Enper- ors press agent? We might have sus- pected it.
