uorn in 1861 he gives the idea of vigorous
young middle age and his whole manner of
conducting business is suggestive of more
than usual physical energy.
Burns is inclined to ridicule the conven-
tional short story conception of the detec-
tive.
There is nothing to the detective bust
ness but the application of energy, perse
verance. common sense and imagination" he
is fond of saying.
An examination of any of a dozen or more
famous cases in which Burns was the chief
investigator shows. however, that he has
brought some other qualities into play from
time to time. Notable of these is that of
physical courage Scarcely day goes by
that Burns does not receive couple or more
threatening letters, and in the past especi-
ally in the heat of some big investigation
such as that of the famous Doodle cases in
San Francisco, the notorious Mcnamara
case or the various bomb outrages prior to
and during the world war. the number of
these threatening letters has run into hun
dreds day.
The Crook Millionaire Is
Quarry Like the Poor Criminal
Repeatedly attempts upon his life have
been made. sometimes by bombs placed on
the doorstep, sometimes by internal ma
chimes sent through the mails, but they
have never frightened him into abandoning
his purpose.
Burns's effective activity in the McNa-
mara case has been used to attempt to show
that he was hostile to labor. Prior to Sep
tember 4, 1910, he was considered anything
but an enemy of labor. He had been en-
ployed in numerous instances to uncover and
bring to justice doers of evil among the rich.
The Oregon land fraud cases had been
brought to a successful conclusion by him
and his activities in bringing to justice boss
Reuf of San Francisco, and Mayor Schmidt,
his tool had shown conclusivey that he did

When you feel weak and almost

stronger, richer blood.
For over thirty years physicians
have recommended Guides Pepto-Man-

whose blood is impoverished become

from 20 to A years old, while 23.7 |
per cent. being As years of age and
over, are well along in middle life if
they have not reached old age.
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per-
centage 20 to A years of age being
42.8 for the urban population as COM
pared with 34.2 for the rural, while
The percentage under Is years of age
Is 27.2 in the urban population as
against 30.8 in the rural. These diff
,erences may indicate larger families
)f children in the country than in the
,ity, but probably indicate also the
act that country children as they
crow up have tendency to flock to
he cities thereby increasing the ac-
i've adult population of the cities at
he expense of the rural districts.
Over three-fifths of the population,
1.2 per cent, are old enough to vote,
,eing 81 or over; and in this class
he men outnumber the women in the
alto of 107 to 100. The males of mil
tary or fighting age, 1S to A, consti-
ute 42.4 per cent of the male popula-
ion and ZIG per cent. or little more
han one-f1fth, of the total population.
