difficulties in the way, the
principle one being the ncees-1

MOTIVES OF KIDNAPPERS.
Why are children stolen?
Not many of them are kid

l r.at the incentive is a pure
love for childienand the de
sire to ha vea child is dispro
ved by the fact that nine
Mines in ten the stolen one
is woefully abused and mal
treated. Probably the most
satisfactory explanation is
that certain people are affect
ed by a peculiar mental de
rangement which prompts
them to the commissson of
the crime without malice
aforethought. It is, in fact

Any menlion of child steal
ing always recalls the Charlie
Hops case. So celebrated was
the affair that now, sixteen
years after, it, has not to a
great degree faded cut of
the popular mind, though
perhaps the details have.
Christain K. Koss lived in
a handsome dwelling, issola
ted by a larg yard in (ier-
mnntown. a Philadelphia su
burb. On July all the family
happened to be absent save
two young brothers, aged 4
and 8 years. They acre play
ing together in the front
street when two men drove
up in a covered wagon. One
of them jumped out and ad
dressed t he little boys, offered
them candy, and finally pur
suaded them to take a ride.
After d ri v i ng a short d istan ce
the elder brother was given
some money and sent on an
errand for more candy. He
returned in a few minutes,
but the wagon had disap
peared and Charlie Koss has
not been seen to this day.
The crime was committed to
extort a. ransom for the re
turn of the child, but the ab
actors' fear of capture was
so great that no agreement
between them and the father
wa s r.ever succes- fully ex rried
out. The search iorthechild
was pursued unceasingly
and thoroughly. Prominent
Phiiadelphians interested
themselves in thematter and
seemingly no stone was left
unturned. Countless trips
were made to Europe, every
gypsy camp in the world was
searched; the identity of, 4-00.

One of i he most mysterious

stealing of Lilie Shaffner a

I The family lived on Wesson
street, and two older children
were wheeling the baby to
and fro in front of the house.
A strange woman stopped
and after playing with the
baby a moment gave the
other children some money
to go buy candy. When they
returned t he woman and.child
had disappeared. It was
aecertained that she boarded
a passing streetcar with the
baby in her arms, but that
was the last ever seen of
either. Chicago Tribune.

maids 3c a piece, or two for a

charged. Editors pay in ad
vertisements, but are not al
lowed to participate until
everybody else is through.
and even then they are not
allowed. to squeeze anything
but old maids and school-

History will not forget that
it was Mr. Cleveland who first
dared face theencroachments
of wealth-intrenched monop
oly ; that it was he who set
himself to plead the cause of
an over-taxed and wronged
common jieople against the
pretentions of the priviledg
ed class, and boldly to pro
pose the breaking down of
class privilege ; that it was
he who first filthy character
ized the ''communism of the
rich," and set on foot a move
ment of reform whose course
w ill not be stayed until the
law shall cease to be an agen
cy for the oppression and rob
bery of all the people in the
