.They never get awayl"
When people leave their seats after
hearing Harry ]. Loose deliver his lee
ture ON "Crime. It's Cause and Pre-
vention." there is one thought ringing
through their consciousness. and that
is: "They never get away"
Detective Loose is entirely unlike
"Old Sleuth.' Nick Carter" and the
other mysterious sleuths of fiction. He
is fine, genial man who has dedi-
Gated his life to the eradication Of
crime, man who has made his force
felt among the criminal element OF
Chicago.
This lecture does not instruct in
crime; 1t throws no glamour about the
criminal. On the contrary, the youth
who hears Detective Loose in his treat
ment of crime goes to his home with
just one thought ringing through his
mind. and that thought is: 'srhey
never get away"
Detective Loose has been fighting
crime for nearly twenty years. He
was appointed to the state police OF

THE JOLLY GIRL.

The jolly girl is born, not made;
no training or endeavor can counter
felt her. There are those, to be sure,
who affect jollity, but it is only skin
deep. The jolly girl is jolly under
adverse circumstances bad wealth
err; when she hasn't a cent to her
name; when she has the toothache;
when she has lost her situation; when
she breaks her needle; when her back
hair tumbles down in public; when
she is shopping; when her masculine
neighbor at the theatre goes out, and
when he returns; when her bills are
due. She never seems to indulge in
that fminine luxury 1.-The blues" and
it is mistake to suppose that she is
noisy; there is jollity of the lady-like,
aristocratic sort, as we'll as of the
fish-wife order.
The girl who makes up her mind
tat jollity is the proper cure, and
t. at she will be lively or die usually
Ger does the business; she thinks
tat it chiefly consists in laughing
aid in chattering nonsense, that it is
a manner Of speech merely, rather
tam quality of the mind which dis
ting, to see the rainbow on the cloud
and the silver lining behind it, to
rake the wrinkle on the rose leaf
a cause of mirth. Some believe that
j. llity is an affair of embonpoint; but
VINO has not been disappointed in find
ing the stout woman melancholy and
Ire thin one vivacious, the bilious per-
son full of good-humor and the per-
son whose digestion never gave her a
moments uneasiness quite the re-
verse? The jolly girl cannot sup
press herself, and assume sadness or
psnsiveness; languishing airs do not
sit we'll upon her, but show at
plance that they are borrowed plumes.
Che is never dull with her. She has
tat infinite variety which all tie
u orld covets and loves. 1t may be
desirable thing that those who have
not this natural grace should cult
vate and encourage it in themselves
and others, since it brightens and
strengthens life, makes rough places
smoother and pleasant places pleas
anter. Possibly it is no special virtue
in the jolly girl any more than blue
eyes in the blonde maiden or red hair
in the Titanesque Jollity flows from
her presence just as the nightingale's
fluting bubbles from his throat and
enchants the world; just as the poet
pours forth his song, "in profuse
strains of unprecedented art just as
the tree blossoms, the grasses sprout,
the stars shine, without effort, with
out design, with sincerity and con-
stancy and spontaneity. Let her be
shipwrecked, or an invalid stranded
on bed Of pain that yet she does not
lose or abate that peculiar trait which
makes sunshine for those about her
and sweeps the cobwebs out of their
sky.

taught.
In this particular the child began to notice
the larger headlines in newspapers and to ask In

ent from H to avoid confusion. The Idea Of the
letters thus grasped, and 1t was easy to teach
the boy the entire remaining alphabet.
Then his mother began to print letters for him.
when he asked for pictures on pieces of paper.
This was called drawing. Gradually she combined
the letters in words suited to his experience, such
as "horse" and "dog." Sometimes he tried to
draw the letters himself, achieving quite credit

step, he taught the appearance of words and
letters. until one day his mother took him on her
