By WILLIAM ("FRENCHY") ROONEY. New York.?I have been a burglar vur since 1 was fourteen years old, nd I know the business from top to ottom. There Isn't a genuine proRBlonal In the country that I am not cqualnted with, and at some time or ther I have not worked side by side ith the most of them/ Until 20 years ago burglary was pretty good business; that is, so ir as any kind of crookedness can be ood business. In the last few years, owever, a whole lot of things have appened. People have begun keepig their valuables in safe deposit aults. There have been some big lrnrovements in police methods. Most f all. the general public has come to ay some attention to criminals intead of Just sending them to prison, rherfe they are bound to get worse intend of better. The result has been hat burglary as a trade has grown ?sh and less profitable and the young ellows, instead of starting into it. ave either turned straight or one into some safer kind of crooked fork. I think 1 am right in saying that ine-tenths of the professional burlars alive today are old-timers like nyself. We got our training in the ayB when people kept the bank acount under the bed. We used to have ome pretty soft pickings, all right, nd if things were still as easy as they zero then 1 don't think all the po- i Ice and prison reform in tho world rould do any good. Hut times have hanged and the profits aren't big nough any more to attract the kind j f men who turn their work Into a ; rofesslon. I don't say all the present-day Jobs re pulled off by old-timers. There's lot of work done now, Just as there ,as 20 years ago, by kids. The Ifference Is that under tho old condl- | ions the kids generally turned into rofessionals, while, as things go now, | hey get caught after a job or two, nd when they've done a litle stretch n state prison either reform or get nto some line of work that pays letter and coats less. You can take my own case, for in- j tance. I was a fourteen-year-old kid, eddling papers on the street, when Ked" lx?ary picked me up and taught ie the business. You wouldn't see nything like that happening now. 'he Juvenile societies would get busy nd queer the game before it got tarted. If tbere'd been a Juvenile nriotv iA vaaro " ? ?1 -L* 1 ? ? .? uisu i iuikiii nuvc ieen saved a whole lot of trouble An L wan, I learned the business under no of the best professionals In the ountry, and when I was eighteen ears old knew enough about It tc tart out on my own hook. Even then If things had been the kay they are now I might have turned traight. I didn't have what you vould call the criminal Instinct. 1 vus a pretty bright kid with a quick nlnd, lots of health and a knack of naking friends. I didn't have any nore bad habits than the average boy. liked to wear good clothes and chase round with the girls, but I didn't tave any desire for drink and things .long that line. I came of honest. iard-worklng parents, and the chances re that with half a show I'd have r ; Convince the Average Man; Bur- j san't Pay." < J I tur:.ed out the same way myself. The j actual business of stealing didn't make any hit with me; Pknew It was wrong and that there couldn't any ( good come of It. Right hero I want , to say that 1 feel the same way about | stealing today, although I have been ( a thief all my life, anu If I got out of j prison would probably be one again. { It wasn't the wish to do wrong that made me a crook. It was Just that I wanted money and burglary looked like the easiest way of getting it. It was easy, too. The first trick I turned alone netted mo $450, and at that I only got about a third of the real value of my haul, owing to the fact that I did not know any reliable fence and had to dispose of my stuff to a pawnbroker. 1 then tied up with 1 a couple of experts named "Chuck" Sullivan and Jim Rice?both dead now I ?and we toured the country together averaging $200 or $300 each a week. : No professionals alive could do that now let alone a kid Just starting in at the business. When we got into a house all we had to do was to locate 1 the place were they kept the Jewelry and we were ready to beat it with a good profit. That wouldn't work now. 1 because most people who have valu- ' able Jewelry keep it in the safe de- 1 posit vault. Hut it worked then, 1 and for six years I fnade money as < easy as though I were picking it up out of the street. In 1883 I dropped for my first ex- 1 perlence in prison. I had got into a house in New York city, and while 1 going through it was surprised by the return of the owners. There were two men. I put up the biggest fight of my life, but they got me. I pleaded guilty ' to a charge of burglary, and was sentenced to Elmlra reformatory. I want to say right here that it would have 1 been better for myself and better for the community if I had been sentenced to die. Any reform I had in me was soon taken out. The reformatory is still bad, but in those days it ' was simply a school of crime. It's a funny thing, when I stop ! to think of any of the fellows I've worked with, it's fifty to one that I met them in prison. Two months after ' I got out of Elmira I was working 1 with the former Lew Warner, who while I was behind the bars had ( coached me for the examinations ' which I had to take before I could get my parole! For years afterward I kept remeetlng old prison mates, and 1 on at least two occasions when I had 1 determined to turn over a new leaf it I was theso meetings which put me I back where I hurt utnrioH vt. ? wu. ij' ilKl my pals have been men I have met In 1 Klmira, Sing Sing or Dannemora?not 1 the people 1 have, become acquainted with on the outside. "It will be this way, I suppose, just as long as prisons exist. Only those who are acquainted with such condi- 1 tions can realize the advantages of the i present system of y?iroling first of- 1 fenders. Any way 1 look at it the state ' was foollbh to send1 tne to Klmira. It didn t impress me with the majesty of ' the law. because I got out by a trick. 1 just as lots of others do. Lew Warner not only coached me for my exainlna- < Hons but framed it up with a friend s on the outside?a fence?to vouch for my future good behavior. It was a i careful frame-up and it worked. It's Just as well that it did, because the i reformatory wasn't teaching me anything but bad. There were oat'ial abuses, just as there are and always i must be In all prisons, and these made i me hate society. I Now, I had been a thief for a good I many years, but I hnd never before I felt it was justified. After my re- ? formatory term I always excused myself with the thought that 1 was getting back at society. My three bits in Sing Sing and Dannemora?I have t spent about 15 years In prison altogether?served to strengthen this ' feeling. Experience has taught me I that 99 out of every 100 professionals feel the same way. Any one can see that this Is a bad thing. The recent prison reforms have done a good deal to remedy It, but it can never be made completely right until things are fixed so that every prisoner will feel be is getting a Bquare deal. I don't mean by this that he ought to be given feather beds and porterhouse steak, but I do think that he should be treated a little more like a man. He ought to be paid, for instance, at the rate of five or ten cents a day for his labor, so he will have a little money when he gets out. But this is a long subject and 1 will not Bay any more about It Just here. A good deal has been done, and at any rate conditions are a whole lot better than they used to be. In proportion, I think, to their future improvement the number of professional criminals will grow less. About eight months after leaving Elmira I invented the "gas Inspector" game. It was the best thing I ever thought u;?. Under cover of wanting to inspect the meter I would Blze up a house, and if it looked worth the trouble, come back later and go through it. If the opportunity was good I sometimes did my work on the spot. It was a good game and made me many thousands of dollars, but. like all such things>. It finally played lit. I havpn't tniinhoH If ? ?. *? I or 20 years, but It was so good that I still read occasionally of some amateur using It with success. This is a good point to Illustrate the difference between the old-timer and the modern burglar, so-called. The aid-timer, being a professional, turned > ill his brains to his business. The result was that he invented new games. I The "burglar" of today, on the other hand, doesn't invent anything. He | . simply plays the old games. As every- j body, even the police, knows them, he ( gets nabbed. 1 made?and spent?a half-million dollars in 30 years of burglary. If i were starting out today 1 would be lucky to average the wages of a day ( laborer. 1 know of one argument that will convince the average man when everything else fails. That argument, ' so far as my experience goes, applies In an abstract way to all forms of crookedness; to burglary it applies In terms of cash as well. It doesn't pay. CRIME AMONG THE ANIMALS - i They Imitate All of the Many Varieties of Human Wrong Doings. It has recently been asserted by followers of Lombroso, the great specialist of criminals and their particular brain processes, that every variety of human wrong doing tlnds its counterpart In the crime committed by animals, and birds, and insects. Among bees, for instance, are found frequent Instances of deliberate theft. These thieves of the hive in order to Bave themeslves the trouble of working attack the workers in musses, kill them, rob the hives, and then carry off the booty. After they have done that a few times they seem to have developed a criminal taste and i form into large and formidable bandit colonies that terrorize all peaceful. hard-working and law-abiding mem- ! hers of the bee family. Curiously enough, It has been proved that the bellicose members may be produced ' artificially by giving them honey and brandy to drink. After a few doses of the mixture they become irritable, disinclined to work, and if the drink is given to them for any length of time 1 they refuse absolutely to work and 1 when they become hungry, turn to plunder and attack the well supplied hives. i Owners of doves tell stories of how In every dove cote there are birds that are too lazy to gather materials for their own nests, but will try by every means to steal that which has | 1 been gathered by their more energetic companions. We have also the word of a dlstin- ) gulshed veterinary Burgeon that in \ ' every regiment of cavalry one can \ I find horses which rebel against all 1 discipline and let no opportunity es- ! 1 cape for doing harm to their own i < kind. It is necessary, therefore, to be always on guard and sometimes to i separate them from the others, as ] they will steal their companion's food ; ] whenever opportunity presents. What 1 is perhaps the strangest of all is ; 1 that the skulls of such criminally in- i clined beasts have an abnormal for- ' ' ination, the forehead being narrow and 1 retreating. i i i un Modern Man. "The late Emerson Taylor, our coit ' sul at Fort of Spain," said a Waslr mgton ollicial, "hailed from Dry Run- 1 ind he had u fund of happy Dry ltur 1 liumor.

GOLDEN TEXT?"Behold how good and how pleasunt it la for brethren to dwell togethe*- In unity." Ps. 133:L No story of the Old Testament Is fraught with greater dramatic Interest than that which is presented to- ; day. Let us get the setting of the picture. An opulent oriental court; that man who next to Pharaoh exercised more power than any congress or assembly, and Into whose hands had been placed the destinies of a kingdom by earthly power and. the outworking of the plan of redemption by a divine power. Servants, power, resources, all at Joseph's command. Before him his brothers who long ago gave him up as being dead. Outside a great calamity resting upon the people, and none prepared to meet it except these of Egypt whose provision was the result of the work of this man of God. (L Tim. 4:8). Before this man, us humble supplicants, we see those who "entreated him deBpitefully." Judah's speech was a revelation to Joseph, it satisfied him, and what need, therefore, for further delay in revealing himself in his true character? Saving Love. I. Revelation, vv. 1-3.?Excluding all from his presence, saving his brothers, Joseph gave full vent to his joy and rejoicing. "I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?" Their astonishment was so great as to leave them Bpeechless, and again haunting memories condemn them to fear and foreboding for they were "troubled in his presence." We have here a beautiful picture of forgiveness and saving love. The exaltation of Jesus was to give repentance to Israel through the forgiveness of sins. Acts 5:31. Even bc did Joseph bring repentance to his brothers and forgiveness of their wrongs toward him 22 years before. Joseph's severe dealings with his brothers aroused them to a full recognition of their evil deeds and prepared them to receive his pardon and forgiveness. But the cup is full, no longer can he restrain himself, and with a loud voice, so loud that it could be heard without he erlert "I om Small wonder that at such a proclamation by him whom they had so grievously wounded, "they were troubled." So shall It be when the brethren of Jesus shall "look upon him whom they have pierced," Zech. 12: 10. II. Reconciliation, vv. 4-8.?1he greatness of Joseph is here revealed In a clear, true light. He Interprets to his brothers their own actions with all that God has involved in it, which muBt have been a great surprise to his brothers. Joseph does not wait for them to fall at his feet and sue for mercy, but Beeks to allay their fears, "Come near to me 1 pray^you." These who by their wicked works were rightfully alienated from him are invited to draw nigh, Col. 1:21 and Matt. 11:28. Joseph's Grace. Joseph was as one who was dead and out of that came life for those of his own family as well us those outBlde. Even so God has brought life to many out of the death of Jesus, working salvation for all out of the most colossal and infamous crime ever perpetrated?the criciilxion. Joseph wus "sent" fv. 7), to save those very ones (John 1:11). It was a "great deliverence," see Heb. 2:3. Here, again, we see Joseph's Intimate relations with God, "it was not you that sent me hither, but God." That is the right way to look at life, Rom. 8:28. III. Proclamation, vv. 9-15.?The news of this meeting catne to Pharaoh, vv. 2, 16, with the result that tie commanded Jacob and all of his household to be brought Into Egypt Having received good things themBelves, they are commanded to go with baste, and tell others. Matt. 28:7. The first call is always "come" (v. 4), and that is always followed by the command of to "go" (v. 9). Joseph was not ashamed of his old father and his brothers in the days of his prosperity, and added that when they Bhould dwell in Egypt they were to be "near unto me," see Phil. 1:23, John 14:3. When the brothers reached Jacob and told him that Joseph was alive and exalted in Egypt he could not believe them, and bis heart fainted. Can we be surprised? Yet convictioi was at hand in the shapo of the wagons laden with the rich spoil of Egypt, /v 21, 27, 28. Again God appears to Jacob, 46:2, 3, and adds the assurance of his own word.
