He has a ready wit that he is too apt to use upon his boss." Then, with a laugh Mr. Hrown uttered this epigrammatic and true saying.

"Hoist with his own petard" Is such a worn old phrase that one hesitates to use It now, but Frank Walsh, burglar and Incendiary, must have felt Just that way when the can of gasoline which he brought with him to Ignite the office of the Long Dock Milling company suddenly exploded and wrapped him In deadly flames. His agonised yells brought help sufficient to save the building but not to save his life. He had been hired for $lO to do the Job In order to cover up fraudulent entries In the (.ashler's books, but he dropped his flgarette In the gasoline can and thus "dumped the fat In the Are" with a vengeance. Hut however dramatic the fate of clumsy Walsh and the consequent ex posure of his accomplices may be by themselves, they have a deeper slgnlfl cance when viewed In the light of the recent discovery that there exists a country-wide arson trust, with head quarters In Chicago and representa tives In nearly all the large>cltle«, the members of which make a business of setting Are to buildings skillfully. In order to enable the owners to collect large sums of Insurance. Murder as a fine art. the sclonttflc management of arson, together with tho proper strategy and conduct of private warfare, are subjects perhaps i.. uer understood In Chicago than any where else In the world. Lest any of her great sister cities should fpel en vious of Chicago, let It be admitted that l'.erlln and Vienna also have their fire gangs, Paris exhibits a pretty tasto In Apaches, New York fosters Paul Kelly associations. Madrid has Its garroters and Canton Its high binders Yet the following tale shows that tho Chicago savans have i-nplleH business principles to crime In a man ner far excelling the coarse effort* of their rivals: On the fourth floor of No. 232 South Market street, In the Windy City, wa« situated the goodly clothing es'ubllsh went of L. Dreyfus St Co., wholesalers It was operated by the brothers Leo pold and Lszard Dreyfus, who had ap parently an extensive city trade. The brothers were extremely liberal buy ers of clothing stocks, and the sroie was visited by swarms of customers. Gossip had It that more goods were cartod In than could ever be dlapos«d of, snd that many of the customers, so called, carried away fictitious bills of sale. In tbe spring of this year a set of private Investigators began to pry Into the affairs of Dreyfus & Co. Inquiry at Dun's and Drailstreet's brought out the fact that the firm owed Ita cred itors $35,000. An export who visited the store in the guise of ft retailer judged that goods valued at $20,000 lay on its shelves and countera. Tbe Insurance carried totaled $28,000, di vided among eleven coinpaniea, Includ ing the United States Fire, of New York. As the result of further snoop ing around among the clothing trade It waa also discovered that Dreyfus ft Co. ware alow pay, and the manu- | Good Jokes None Left. Another One Heard From.

(' facturers who sold them goods were preselng for settlement. This confidential Information was carried by secret agents to a certain Slav saloonkeeper in the poorer quar ters of the town. A glass or two of sllvowltz was drunk, there was much conferring and nodding together of heads In the back room of the bar, and Anally the saloonkeeper said: "Send Jacob to see LoopoM Drey fus!" Jacob was the preenomen pf this go-between, who was believed by hla famtly and friends to bra solicitor of fire Insurance. And who could doubt the appearance borne out by the policies and stacks of papers that he carried, his familiarity with ratee and his glib line of talk that Indicat ed long experience In the business? It was thus that he approached the eldor Dreyfus, remarking on the large stock of goods and saying, "Let me write you an additional policy of $10,000" "I'm carrying every cent the com panies wilt allow me to." replied the merchant. ' "But Insurance is good. In these times"-—the visitor batted his loft eye Just a trifle —"yon can never tell what will happen— a fire, for Instance, with total loss. In that case the $28,000 you carry now would be too little——" "Look here!" said the merchant. | suddenly. "I don't believe you are an Insurance man at all. What do you want?" "Very well, Mr. Dreyfus, very well Let's get down place should burn you would get th * $28,000, eh? You owe more than that. It Is true, but you needn't go Into bankruptcy. When you have collect ed the $28,000 all you need to do Is to make a compromise with your cred Itors and you can retain the larger part of the money for yourself. Yes, a fire would be quite timely Just now , and you know as well as I do that in aurance companies are In the business to pay losses " "What! You come here and tell me to set my place on fire?" answered the clothing dealer. "Not a bit of It," aald Jacob. "It Isn't done that way. You can go out of town while the Job Is being ptftled off Mr. Dreyfus," and he looked the merchant squarely in the eye, "I will take all the responsibility and do the Job for $5,000." Jacob saved himself from being put out of the office by a hasty exit. He Immediately reported lack of progress to the saloonkeeper. The latter had a mall order department as a branch ,of his aecret business. Among the confidential letters mailed to mer chants by the chief of the arson indus try went aeveral to the head of the Dreyfus firm; and meanwhile tho dif ficulties of that establishment were In creasing Creditors threatened sutts and unsatisfied Judgmenta meant bankruptcy. The arson crowd kept tabs on every mov'fc, whether of the brothers or of their angry creditors. Finally, at the correct moment. Jacob called Leopold Dreyfus on tho tele phone and made an appointment to renew the dicker. He met the mer chant In his office and mado tho fol lowing bargain offer:. "I'll burn the whole place—every ault of clothing, every article In It— no salvage—for $2,000. You must pr > me S3OO down and contract fcTpay t w .t balance of $1,700 as soon aa the la surance money la collected. Thoae ate positively our Ipwest tern: J. Take '«/ or leave 'em." "How about the risk?" "There will be no risk. To avert isuspleiob yoif Jnuit tfcieme 1(5 M an employe. You yourself can be as far away from Chicago as you like!" With that Jacob'produced his arson contract, an extraordinary document, which assigned to the saloonkeeper $1,700 of the total Insurance Sn the 1 Dreyfus place. The merchant fell in With the plan. H* signed the agree ment to pay the saloonkeeper in the •vent of a Are, and banded Jacob t»»e f 300 earnest money. The legend* conspirator was put on the roll and intrusted with the door I to lock up the store at night aid open It In the morning. On the Saturday half-holiday of i June 3 Jacobs admitted ulmself to the store after hours and opened six flve gaiion cans of gasoline which had been sent there concealed In the Inno- I cent-looking shipping caaet used by I the firm. Starting at one end of the 1 shop, he poured the oil In a stream that meandered the length of the t floor, with the partially emptied cam distributed at strategic points anions the piles of stock. At right-angles tf the stream he stretched a half-hour time fuse, lighted with a matrh the end farthest from the oil, and, locking the door behind, quietly went on bis way in all these operations Jacob bad applied with his best skill the prin ciples of scientific manngtment adopt ed by the arson trust. The telltale ei celsior shavings and give-away ker!h sene soaked paper have long since been discarded by the Chicago savants In favor of the quick, sharp, succes sive explosions of gasoline, which de stroy the exploding cans and the s'ock of merchandise almost simultaneously Not only is the evidence burned up. but the firemen and salvage corps have no chance to save a.iy of the stock of goods, which salvage would reduce the hmount of the Insurance inald ■ But on thl» occasion something or other went amiss The Are fighter*, arriving quickly, scented the odor of gasoline. After the Are was put out ainl an Investigation made, an unex pired can of gasoline was found back In a corner. Michael F. Sullivan, the Arc attorney of the cltyv sent for the brothers Dreyfus. Leopold had spent the day of the ftre at Oray's Lake, a resort fifty miles distant, but Lazard had worked In the store that same Saturday morning. After more than six hours of sharp examination by the fire attorney'and the police I-eorold Dreyfus broke down and confessed that he hired Jacob and the saloonkeeper to de stroy the store. He told the story of It substantially as given above. He Implicated many others In a wide net work of conspiracy that startled even the detectives by the astounding reve lation of a systematic, scientific arson trust. Through the further confessions of the elder Dreyfus It was hoped to ex pose the whole crooked lesgue of dis honest merchants and paid setters of fire, a league. It is said, that has caused at least a fifth (more than 7001 of all the Chicago fires In the last decade, that has extended its opera tions from New York -to Portland. Ore., and that ha. reaped a yearly profit of $750,000 for the saloonkeeper who Is Its head. Leopold Dreyfus, however, killed himself next morning In his Michigan avenue home, whither a police detec tive had taken him at hia own request to aee his wife and children beforo go ing to the police coi.rt. The discov ery of his arson and the tar.gle of bis financial affairs had driven him prac tically Insane. The saloonkeeper and Jacob vanished. High Cost of Living In Japan. Accordjng to an article in Osaka Aaaht, prions have gone up tn Japan over twofold tn the last twenty years, while tht purchasing value of tho cur rency has sensibly declined. Taking the average rate of prices In Janu ary, 1887, at 100 and the value of tbs currency st the same time St 100, the rate of prices tn 1910 would be and the value of currency 43, accord ing to a table publlahed by tb« Bank of Japan Another tab!® published by the same banks shows that the advance Id the prices of Imported goods baa been comparatively small, while the rite In the price of goods produced for the home market and for export has been greater. Compared with tt*e advance In prices In other, coun- Tles the Japanese rate of advance has been about 2 per cent greater han that In London and New York. Ifcls may be du to some special in lience, such as the enormous ex tension In the amount of money in circulation. His Dignity Intact.
