Entered at the Post-OMice at New York as Gecond-Class Mail Matter, UME 465, NO. 16,001, ‘ A CONFESSED LAW BREAKER, ES. | ‘A broker named Albert J. Hatch, with the connivance of the New _ Work Stock Exchange, openly, and flagrantly violated Chapter 244 of the laws of 1905 of the State of New York known as the Stock Transfer Tax law. He admits that he broke the law not inadvertently or through Stress,of clycumstances, but deliberately and avowedly. Every day many men and women and children in New York Some steal because they are hungry or for thelr wives and children, Others drink too much liquor. Others fight or commit burglaries or forgeries, All manner of tawbreakers are inohided in the hundreds who are locked up in the New York police stations every night and; stand in a long, hungry, dirty row awaiting their turn before the Police Magistrates in the morning, “ Albert J. Hatch was not taken to a police station, He went to the District-Attorney’s office in a cab, and to-save him the humiliation which befalls other lawbreakers District-Attorney Jerome personally went with hims-to;the criminal court and consented that he strould be immediately So -consitierate was the District-Attorney that he even drew it in his own handwriting, Where is there a tine in the statute books or in the traditions and the “ppirit of American law which authorizes its public officials to:make social orfinancial distinctions between confessed lawbreakers?

SERVANT PROBLEM. ‘At the general federation of women’s clubs at Atlantic City one session was given to the discussion of the servant problem. Wherever women are gathered together this is an unfailing subject for conversation. ‘Thetr trials and tribulations are without end, They vie in reciting the depths of ingratitude to which servant girls have fallen and the dim Prospect of any relief, it occurred to Mrs, Rheta C, Dorr that there was another side to the servant trouble, which she emphasized in her address to the women’s clubs, Her point was that modern housekeepers are greatly to blame for their ovn troubles by not recognizing a servant girl’s right td individual liberty. A mistress treats her servant girls in a proprietary way which ‘hrs no counterpart in her husband's treatment of his men em- ployees. Though the work is not incessant as in a factory and the pay is better, the servant girl has not the same liberty and social scope in her-own sphere as has the factory girl, If housekeepers would consider that they are managing a cooked food factory or even a small family hotel they would have as Mtla troutfe with their labor problems, indeed probably less trouble, than have lorrer factories and bigger hotels. LONELY THOUSANDS, Census enumerators are finding tens of thousands of men and women in New York who are unknown even by their full names to anybody else in,the house where they sleep, They are not criminals or recluses or in any way ashamed of their names or occupations, They are simply solitary. There Is no place so lonely as a great city and no one so isolated as ‘the man or woman who comes to New York without family, friends or business or social connections, There is no solitude like that of a crowd, In the woods the trees: murmur, the birds sing and the sun, the moon and the-stars'all talk to the man who is willing to commune with then. Ina great city where no one cares for him, and the individual is lost in insignifi- cance in the multitude, a man is much more.alone than on the prairies or in the forest of the Adirondacks, {4... gunuibs ‘A defense that the trout had shrunk since it was caught was excluded “by a Berkshire court.

My export knowledge of figure: my Intense love of horse racing, my passion for gambling of this form,’ helpry” me win. 1 originated a new form, based on an entirely new system of figuring the speed of diferent tracks, and I beat them regularly. 1 know as much about races as any man in America to-day, But at present I ake an average of § a week to Saye my Ufe. I have been in the game rs and have averaged just $11 a week from all sources, At times I ha had a “bankroll? of as high as $1.4, but, by gambling, by writing sheet in a book, by “touting” and by all other means, I have averaged only $11 a week earnings. I have been hungry scores of times, I have slept in stalls, I have stolen and begged, says O. H. Salisbury In the Chicago Tribune, I will admit that a man, by censistent study of the performances of race horses-it he {8 smarter than the layers of odds—can beat them to a “good thing’ occasionally, Also, they can cheat once in a while and win a bet through inside information. The chances against a student of horse racing winning in the long Tun are 10,00 to 1. As to honest races, there are few that are actually dishonestly run after t horses face the post. The decision to be dishonest Is reached a day before t race, An owner decides that he can or cannot win, and on this decision he Issces orders to the jockey as to how the horse Is to be ridden, Half the horses that run are trying to win, A third of the others are simply out for exercise or for tryouts. ‘The others are gambling propositions Four in five times the horse owner himself 1s misled concerning the abilities of his horse, From personal experience I can say'that tt 1s a practical Impossibility to beat the races, Even If one beats them, the money will do him no good, as his exe penses will be greater than his Income, may win $500 this week and lose it back within a day, é ° o ’| To Make Children Tall, By Eugene Sandow,. CANNOT recollect ever hearing from a really tan man or woman who wanted i to know if there was any recipe for getting amailer in stature, but nearly ple requesting advice ns to how they can incrense their helght. Tho girl or boy in the ‘teens, or only Just out of thom, will find Ittlo dimeutty in Increasing hag or his helght to the extent of a few inches by merely observin; a few rules to which I shall draw attention in the course of this article, says Bandow tn the Chicago Tribune. Much can be done to increase the helght of young people. Great care should be taken to Insuro children lying stralght In bed. A child has a tendency to ctrl the knees up toward the body, and lying in bed for many hours in thia posttion night after night hinders growth. Without waking tho child parents should gen- tly draw its legs out straight, and in this way alone probably a couple of inches extra holRht will be achleved, while the child will benefit bodily In other respects, During the growing years a youth can Increase his helght by exercise, Body ending movements have the best effect, and will power plays a distinct and an Important part. Hanging from a horizontal bar, if not accompanied by swinging or jerky movements, helps to straighten or atretch tho epine without Goths wew, har, and helps to Increnge the height. Ankle movements and exercises to develop the arch of the fest help to add Just a trifo to the helght; and backward and side bending movements miptite and strengthen tho spine, giving adults full beneft of thyr helght and encoure aging growth in youths, Willa sd SS Little Willie’s Guide to New York.
