statement of .lodge William N. (leu- "
m.ll. of the Municipal court, of Cnltap,
a man who has made a study of n
crime and criminals during the long "
and honorable career he has bad 011

in Uve years. What has brought
about the change? It Is not that '
the burglar has become more hone^i.
but it is because he has lyund the ^
business more dangerous and kt
punishment more certain and swift.
"Certain crimes, however, are on ^
the increase. We have in Chiaagu
aot less than f>00 professional pickpockets.

their lawyer by the year sad send ^
him a Christmas present at Christ ' '

"Th?4r number is constantly increasing.
Why? Because they know (
that they huve nine chunces out of

do their victims discover the loss cf
their pockethooks before they have ,

The dog muzzing ordinance whlcti

v the city council tor the express
urpose of exterminating rabies in
lis city. The ordinance was sabtcted
to severe criticism when it
as first passed, hut it has met with
?ry general compliance on the part
[ the owners of dogs.
It is claimed that muzzling is the
iilv way in which rabies, and conHjuently
.hydrophobia, can lie pre nted.
A circular recently publisa1
by tlie liureKii of animal industry
[ the Fnited States department of

iea.su re for the exierminatic.n of the
read disease.
The nitizzling of do:s was widely
aforeed in Kurope a few years ago
ad as a result the disease has dis[ipeared
trom the countries enforcig
ilie law.
in regard to the use of the muze
on (legs and the consequent devase
in rabies, the circular issued
f the bureau of animal industry
lys:
"To prove tho practical value of
lose repressive measures, we have
ily to observe the results obtained
foreign countries. Prior to 1ST;? i
iliies had been prevalent in Berlin
r many years. In that year a law
as enacted, including tho whole ol

bis led to a complete eradication o1

irred in llerlin since 188:;. I
"In Holland since 187r?, rabies be- j

uce that time the country has been

spite of great public opposition,
is been admirably demonstrated,

ie disease had aim st disappeared
( 1 892. when the muzzling was (
opped on account of the deterntin1
opposition. The disease immelately
began to increase, and in
S9f? muzzling was again enforced
he decrease in rabi -s was immeate
and marked, and since Novem*r,
1899, the country has been enrely
free front the disease.
"In Sweeden tJte value of muzing
has also been demonstrated. In
ict. in all casen where this measure
as beer, effectually carried out the
sease nas been completely controil1.
"The disease lias never been
nown in Australia. This is due to
le fact that the infections never
lined a foothold in that country, and
>r a number of years the governent
has wisely prevented such an
afortnnatc occurrence by laws,
.hich absolutely exclude the imporition
of dogs into that country.
"In countries where steps have

>?s Holland, Sweden, l*h gland,
orwny an J Germany rabies in
an h:.s almost disappeared."
According to !>r. Henry it. Slack
i The Journal-Record of Medicine,
ydropliobia is rapidly on tne inease
in Georgia. The conclusions
cached by Dr. Slack are based 011
le records- of the Georgia Pasteur
istitute. He writes:
' When you consider the fact th>t
>r four years (from 1900 to 1904)
e only Heated 237 patients, and
lat 4 4 of them came from west of
le Mississippi river, 32 from Alsiama.

less than half! from Georgia, and
lat 4S9 were treated in Georgia in
90S a. d lst> in 1909, after these
ther States had established Pasteur
iboratories, the increase in rabies is
ppalllng. The average for the first
)ur years of ttiis decade was f?s).:>
hile for the last two years it is
87.ft or an increase of over 887 per
ant in less than ten years. This
crtainly is enough to make us pause
nd think what we must do to preen
t the rapid spread of tins most
wful of all diseases."
As to tlie preventative mesures to
e taken to decrease rabies, l)r.
lnrk merely says: "Muzzle all dogs
nd establish a six months' quaranIne."
This city has already taken steps
o muzzle dogs allowed to run at
irge on the streets and a decrease
a the number of cases of ' ables is
xpected.

This great increase in the acreage
fevoted to corn is considered one on
the most hope.'ul signs in the South
today. In a letter to the directors
of the Southern Railway company,
President Kip ley called particular attention
to these figures and said:
"The increase in the acreage of
corn, accompanied, as it is, by a !
quite general adoption of improved
cultural methods, is one of the ni-.st
encouraging features of Southern
agricultural progress. It is one of
the results of a general movement
throughout the S::uth in the direction
of diversified agriculture?a movement
which we are endeavoring to
encourage and assist as far us we
can properly do so."
As the farmers of the South increase
their yield of corn, iliey will
save enormous sums which they have
been spending in the West for food
products and will consequently themselves
realize more from cotton and
other market crops. Economic authorities
agree in declaring the
American corn crop the basis of the
country's prosperity since in such a
large measure the production of
other crops as well as the pork supply
depends upon it and a greater
yield of corn in the South consequently
means a greater share of
prosperity for this section.

The other day at the de3k of one

Fortunately for the borrower, no

was asked.
"No, Indeed," said the librarian.

The age long hatred of the whits

It is fully mutual. Years
so Livingston observed that
There must be something in tho appearance
of white men frightfully
repulsive to the unsophisticated natives
of Africa; for on entering villages
previously unvisited by Europeans,
if we met a child coming
quietly and unsuspectingly toward
us, the moment he raised his eye*
and saw the men m 'bags be would
take to his heels in ? n agonj of terror.
such ng we might feel if we met
a live Egyptian mummy at the door
of the British Museum. Alarmed by
the child s wild outciles, the mother
rustles out of the hut. hut darts hack
again at the flr.? glimpse of the fearful
apparition. Dogs turn tall and

The same is true, though perhaps Is
a lesser degree, of the other colored
