EXPENSIVE MEMBERS OF COM
MUNITY. ' With the Increased legislation by State
and Nation,' and the additional local
ordinances made by every municipality,
there Is erer an Increase of expense upon
the taxpayers, for the purpose of em
ploying persons to see that the laws are
not violated, either .through Ignorance,
or criminal Intent.
vThe criminal Is the most expensive
member of a community, because he
produces nothing, but either destroys
the work of others, or has to be kept
alive by a publlj tax.
In this coat of the criminals of this
country, the following from the New
York Herald is full of Interest.
Criminals are Very expensive members
of the community; They cost the peo
ple of this country about $1,000,000,000
a year. If their increase could be pre
vented It Wauld be assaying Investment
to give each of the 850,000 accepted crim
lnals a monthly pension of $300, on the
condition that they take a life vacation
from the ' strenuous demands of their
profession. But WO accept the criminal
as a part of our olvUbsation of bar bar
Urn and par the enormous cost of
maintaining him.- -
The average annual Income of profes
sional criminals is estimated at about
' $1,600. This means that the community
pays them a yearly salary of $40000,000
After this is spent for their maintenance
we pay annually $300,000,000 for their
detection, conviction and support. Under
national, state, County and city auspices.
The urban population has to pay the
larger share of this, or 80,000,000 people
in cities have to pay $106,000,000 $3.50
per capita, and the suburban population
of 4b.000.000 $1 each, or $15,000,000. In
addition to this there is a federal and
state expense of $50,000,000.
Add to this the loss by malicious de
struction ef property, the money value
of human life lost through crime, the ex
peadlture necessary in the attempt to
guard against losa through lawbreakers,
and we find that $1,000,000,000 la not a
large estimate. ,

Make Ho Pretense.
Be natural. If jou are not what you
would like to seem, endeavor to come
as nearly to your Ideals as you can,
but. do not affect a manner or char
acter that Is not your own, that Is not
sincere. Affectation betrays weakness
of character. It deceives no one. -One
may imagine he Is making: a great
lmpresBloh. : People are too polite to
let him know their thoughts, but they
see through him. He makes himself
lesa In their estimation. It Is of no
use to assume to know that of which
one is Ignorant
There is a certain strength In hon
esty that .carries weight and influence.
Integrity will make Itself felt By
making no pretenses one Is on the right
road to advance,- There is no fool Ilka
the one who thinks he knows It all,
or, worse, thinks be can make others
think so. Pretenses are despised by all
aenslblo persons.; Be true, be genuine,
and you retain your self respect and
gain that of others. Milwaukee Jour

At the beginning of the thirteenth
century It occurred to some one to
preserve the likeness of his departed
friend, as well as the symbols ot his
rank and station. So effigies were in
troduced upon the surface of the slabs
and were carved flat but ere fifty
years had passed way the art of the
sculptor produced magnificent monu
mental effigies. Knights and nobles
lie clad In armor with their ladies by
their sides, bishops And abbots bless
the spectators with their uplifted right
hands, judges lie In their official garb
and merchants with the emblems ot
their trade ' At their feet lie animals,
usually having some heraldic connec
tion with the deceased or symbolical
of his work c g, a dragon is trod
den down beneath the feet of a bishop,
signifying' the defeat of sin as the re
sult of his ministry. The beads 'of
effigies usually rest on cushions, which
are -sometimes supported by two an-'

An old Swedish custom is for people
to Indicate their business upon their
ylsiting cards. One will receive the
card of Lawyer Jones or Banker Bmlth
or Notary Johnson or Music Professor
Brown .or i-aroeserer-: -(which means
Wholesale-merchant) Ferguson or Geol
ogist Thompson, and if a man over
held an office it Is customary to Indi
cate that fact upon his card. A burgo
master la always a burgomaster, a con
sul la always a consul and an alder
man always an alderman. . The pre
fixes "non." and "Mr." are seldom
used, and the title whether commer

FOR THE CHILDREN
rhe.Klna ot a Boy the World Warn.
Boys are. always in demand because
they are the material out of which men
are made, and as first class material
is always at a premium. In every line
of trade so the boys who give promise
of making first class men are most ea
gerly sought after. , ,
The boy the world wants todaf is the
one who can be irnsfcd to handle monV
ey,wlthout any ot It sticking- to bis
fingers or flndinglts way into bis pock
eta. He, will take as much interest In
the affairs of his employer as if they
were his own and will stay fifteen min
utes without being asked to finish 8
piece of work after the whistle blows
and - the rest -of the ' men have quit
wgrk. ' He will be able to write a busi
ness letter and spell the" words cor
rectly and to add up a column of fig
ures promptly and accurately. Ha will
lift, his cop as readily ' to his slBter
when he meets her on the street as he
would were she the sister of some oth
er boy, and be will not be ashamed to
walk to church-with his' mother, show
her Into her own pew and sit beside
her during the service, He will be.
careful la making a promise and 'Just
as careful about keeping It. ' He win
have sufficient moral backbone to say
"No" to those who wonld lead- him
astray, and he will have enough cour
age to own that be Is striving to make
a man of himself.

Sterr of tk Tor Cat.
It was night Iri the nursery. Jack lay
In his crib, rosy and sweet all ready
for a dream. . .'i
' On Jack's toy table stood Mother
Spot the china cat and her two kit
tens, Bpeck and Dot They bad real cat
natures hidden under their hard exte
riors, and no one but Jock bad ever
fonnd it out
"Speck and Dot" said Mother Spot
"Jack bad an awful scare today. His
uncle brought him a tin mouse."
"Meow!" cried Speck and Dot and it
sounded exactly as If they were crack
ing "mouse, meowl" -
"I know where that mouse Is!" said
Spot
Tell as," cried the kittens.
"Under the bed. And If you bave the
least spark of your ancertors' spirit go
for It"
Down from Jack's table leaped those
three china cats and straight for the
tin mouse, who was so frightened be
simply stared and without a word
awaited his fate.
Tbey fell upon him, those three china
cats. Tbey tore him to pieces, and
then, covered with glory and brown
paint they crept back to Jack's tablo
and waited.
In the morning nurse found the rem
nants of the mouse under the bed, and
she said sadly:
"Jack, It was haughty of you to
break the mouse even If yon didn't like
him."
And Jack wondered what made nurse
so silly.

"Which is the largest city In the

"New York," unhesitatingly came the
answer.
"I mean the largest city In the
world," said the teacher.
And promptly came the reply, "Mew
Tort" '
" "But," expostulated the teacher, "I
did not say the largest city In be Unit
ed States, but the largest city In the
world."
; "New York." unhesitatingly and em
phatically said the boy.
- "London has a larger population than
New York," said the teacher. "If I do
not have the correct answer this time,
I shall have to punish yon: Come,
now,", coaxlngly, "tell me the name of
the largest city In the world."
: "New York."
"Stay in during recess and writs me
fifty lines."
; Ho wrote the fifty lines, and every
lino read, ."The biggest city la the
