Hut thora has been developed nn nntagonlsm to Holes since the election last fall and oven his warmest admirers are free to confess that ho has made onomlos In quarters where ho should have made friends.

Of course the democrats will push Boles , tint they concede that ho will bu fortunate If lie receives the scconu post of liotinr on the presidential ticket. This feeling is caused by the way Palmer of Illinois is coming to the front. In sport ing parlance Palmer looms up to the Iowa democrats like n four-tlmo winner. " If this should bo the case Boies will not bo In it. However , the Ituwkoyo democrats are nil patriotic enough to want nn lown man on the ticket and will work hard for IJoios. The fact of the tnattor Is that outsldo of the state ticket last full nnd during the muni cipal elections this spring , the democrats have presented a badly disorganized front und were easy iraino to the republicans.

" Fifth or tli Scries nf Uunlncss Letters by Itov. 1'V. . FoHtcr. Text , Luke 12 , 19-20 , "And I will say to my soul Soul : Thou hast much goods laid up for many years , tnko thlno case , out , drink nnd bo merry. " But ( Jed said unto him : "Thou fool , " this night thy soul shall bo re quired of the ; then whoso shall these things bo which thou hast provided 1" Covctousncss appears to bo the unnatural growth , into n monstrosity , of ouo of the most uccossan and beneficial traits of the human mind or heart. Prudence , independ ence , self-esteem nnd self-support , the provi dent euro of one's family , or tnoso dependent upon one , must bo considered as ninoni ; the virtues of a people. If these virtues grow in the soil wnoro there is genuine love for men , thcru 1 no danger that there will bo any monstrous growth. But , If tlioro is no such love , sclf-cstcoin Is llltoly to develop into selllsh- upss , and Independence is llablo to develop Into Impudence , and prudence and providence will become covotousness. The great danger lies not co much in the bimplo wish to bnvo wealth for the benefits and common com forts Unit it bring ! ) , us in the thirst for it , bccauso of thp gratification of prldo and lusts , and ambition , which becomes posslbla to thoko who have great wealth. A thlrn for wealth seems to ho ns con tagious us the yellow lover , and moro do Btructtvo. So common Is this moral nnd. spiritual disease that when any ono does really got over It , and becomes wholly un- eollisli , It Is a matter which attracts a great deal of attention , both In tbo Imslucss work and in circles of Christian pebclo. Covetousncs.8 , in its various manifesta tions , is * In a peculiar sense a most nroml iiont trait In the Anglo Saxon race.

A week ago Tin : Bun called attention to the growing prautico amone people of moder ate moans of buying homes on the partial ? ayiuont.plan , and J. E. Bennett of Bloom- ileld , Nob. , communicates the following ou thosamo subject : "In your Issue of the 18tn you have nn article on real estate , the buying and selling Df homes on the easy payment plan. As I have given this matter "some attention of Into I feel that a few suggestions now might bo bcnollclal to buyers and sellers. Wage earn ers who attempt to purchase homos on the monthly payment plan have been In many in stances handicapped by excessive payments falling due once or twice a year , as interest , taxes , etc. , that they are unable to moot nnd with no clause in tbolr contract for tbo pro tection of the purchaser. Should bo fail to inauo a paymcut promptly bo must at once lose his interest in the property. While wo nro all desirous of selling our property and looking out for our own pro tection ns to tbo prollt of the investment , interest , possession , etc. , wo must loou equally well to tne protection Of the interests of the purchaser , to see that ho has n fair show. For instance , you con sider for him the elements of investment nnd rent ; for the purchaser , prolits in ac cumulative interest. These elements , if properly considered , nro almost identical with the general principles of life insurance , and to further prove 'my loyalty to this theory 1 have formulated n certificate of saloon on this basis. I take a note lor I per cent of the consideration each month for HitJ months without interest. This allows 8 per cent per annum on the sale , as any maluomaticlnn can readily llguro out. This ccrtillcnte and notes nro deposited in some bank or trust company for collection nnd safe keeping. At any time after twclvo payments have boon made , should tbo purchaser feel dissatisfied with' his bargain and wish to give up immediate possession ( if the property is in as good re pair as when ho found It ) , I agree to pay him in cash lO yf per cent of all money paid by him , nnd at any time ho tnny wish to pay any or all of the notes before duo ho shall bs entitled to n discount of 8 par cent per annum. At any tltno after one-Ultra of these notes have boon paid 1 ugrco to make n warrantee ) deed and take n mortgage duo In live years nt 8 nor cent nor annum for the remaining notes , after Jlrst deducting S per cent interest per annum for the tlmo they run. For example n house sold for,000 ) would makn a monthly pay ment of fiJO. Any tlmo nf tor twelve monthly payments this would entitle the purchaser lo $5 n month rebate If ho wished to quit , or Us equivalent in extended timo. After paying one-third of the notes lie would oivo & , ! )50 ) not principal 'after deducting the interest. This is n sjow process , it Is true , but within tlio reach of every tenant and a safe sale for thuownor. Should the tenant fall by any means to mature this certificate ho is only out a nominal ront. Tlio original owner has his property and bus baa his interest monthly , I buliovo this mathod to bo equally fair with buyer nnd seller , nnd expect tjo adopt it where similar terms are required. Should tiny reader feel Interested enough to write mo I will gladly mall a printed form of ono of tboso certificates.

WORK OF KLEPTOMANIACS How Merchants' ' Profits Are Beclucecl by Raids of Hightoned Shoplifters. , SOME NOTABLE OMAHA INSTANCES I'crnllnr Ktriiftc * Ol\on liy AVomcn Who Attempt to Cloak Tlirlr Tvtty I'loor Wnlher'K Kxpcrlrnco wltli Tlilc\csniid Kleptomaniacs. Apropos to the young Mrs. Wllloughby kleptomania case , in which the pretty young woman was lined the other day In police court IS.'O for having n morbid dcMro to steal articles from dry goods stores , brings to mind many nlmllnr kleptomania stories nnd facts ns related by floor wnlKcrs of tbo largest ro- tall stores and in police courts. Thousands of dollars' worth of rich illks and fancy eoods are stolen annually by shop lifters. Ono Sixteenth street mctchant nlono claims that his yearly loss from these who hnvo an Irrcslstlblo Impulse to steal Is some thing llko $ > ,000 or $0OJO. A workine girl or poor woman has no business being a shop-lifter. She will suc ceed only in getting into ] ail. But the most feared of nil shoplifters is the woman who calls herself n kleptomaniac. There arc few roalo Kleptomaniacs. Thu well drosscar woman is subject to little or no osplonngo'ln a crowded store , but the woman shabbily attired Is under sur- vclllnnco wherever sbo makes her way. It is this Immunity from Inspection that makes easy the kleptomaniac's work. She Is always carefully drcssod and ladylike In appear ance , and Indeed , In all other respects than that of her crnzo for pilfering , her lifo is usually an exemplary one. Women .with n propensity to thioylahncss , who politely cell thomsolvcs kleptomaniacs ns a cover for their uamo ns well ns the goods they steal , nro rarely prosecuted by tbo owner or manager of n dry goods house , If the woman is known she is nt tlmos al lowed to retain her plunder , n bill of which is sent to her husband or family. If she bo unknown , nna the value of the goods which she has taken is co small ns to provo thnt she is not a professional shoplifter , she Is sometimes allowed to go her way , the ends of Justice being of loss account In the shop keeper's eyes than -the trouble to which n prosecution would put him. So there are now In several well-to-do homos In Omahn xvomon who have been de tected In stealing many and many n tlmo , yet who have ue.vor ligured in the polioa court and as n matter of fact never will. Society in both this city nnd Council Bluffs , as well as in nil cities throughout Iho country , hnvo their kleptomaniacs. A floor walker Inn largo Sixteenth street bazaar told his experiences with them to n reporter for THE lifc when the Wllloughby raso wns Being discussed. "Holiday time ris the kloptomonias's season , " said ho. "Our floors are fairly Jam med with people , and the clerks ore worried beyond belief. Stealing , Is then very easy. Look at this lace scarf , Its worth'JjBlO , yet it cau bo folded so small as to lit nlcdiy In your vest pocket. Imagine how nicely n woman's cloak or slclrt would hide it. "Speaking of lace scarfs , " ho went on , "reminds mo of an occurrence last winter. A llnely dressed \voman came in here. I was standing over Uy the ribbon counter and her appearance struck mo as Jreinp rather pecul iar. She wns looking out of the corners of her eyes all the time , ns if she were afraid of being followed. If I wns green in the busi ness I'd have put her down at once for n shopliltor , but 1'vo had a longer training and I saw that this was a kleptomaniac. "Yet sbo acted almighty queer. I got be hind that pillar and kept an eye on her. She asked the salesman to show her some real luce fichus. Ho got down a couple of boxes of them. They didn't suit her and sbo asked to scosomo more. Bye and bye the counter was covered with our costliest scarfs , btlll she was not satisfied. The salesman went to the further and of tbe counter and bent down to plek out some boxes of lace. Quick as n flash the woman slipped two scarfs into her muff. The salesman returned. Says she : " 'Never mind , I won't buy today , ' and awny she walked. " The floor waluer said ho knew then that she was cot a professional pilferer , for hnr face wns red ns tire and she trembled llko a leaf. When ho touched her on the shoulder sbo fairly wilted. She didn't offer any re- hlstanco when ho told ner that she must bo searched. "And what do you think ? " ho continued , "hho had at least ? M)0 ) worth of laces hidden away. They came from nbout every store in Omaha for I could tell them by lieir tags. " ' What was her excuse ? " "Tho qucorest I over heard. She said that her husband forced her to go out and steal. I asked for bis namo. She wouldn't give it. I hcln up her card case , which wo had taken from her with the other things , nnd said , 'Aren't you Mrs. So-and-So ? ' She began to cry at that , and I saw that I was right. I sent for her husband ut onco. Ho is qulto a prominent business man , and when I told bun all about it ho tire Ho down and blub bered llko a baby. Ho said that bis wife was always gelling into trouble by stealing from stores ; tbo desire was born in her , nnd reformation was Impossible. "Well , " concluded Iho floor walker , "ho paid for Ibe goods taken from our store nnd Iho nffalr was hushed up. But , If Iho guesla who visit Ibis lady only know the sort of lingers that their hostess ha" , I'll bet tboy would leave tbolr wraps in iheir carriages or keep them on. " Generally n talkative storekeeper of n largo dry goods boiiso has a rich fund of stories about well-to-do women kleptomaniacs. One of the stories ran in this wlso : Just before last Christmas , n young girl went into ouo of the leading stores nnd strolled nbout , apparently with no other dcsiro than to look on. Her idleness at tracted the attention of n floor walker , and ho followed her. After sauntering about in a leisurely man ner she wont to the glove counter , tcokn pair of gloves from an onon box and cool'.y walked away. The floor v/ilkor did not seize her , prcferrinc to see if she would steal anything else. She walked nbout Iho store , touching nolblng , and tbon to his surprise returned to the glove counter and repeated her llrst oper ation. Again she strolled to the farther end of the store and again she returned to steal a third pair of gloves. She had six pairs hid den when llio lloor walker whispered in her oar that thu manager of Iho store would llko to see her. S'ao tried to brazen out of tbo alTalr , declaring thnt it was an outrage , tbitt ho would not go to see bun , mid that EUO would sue tbo storekeeper for cumaeos. But the floor walker merely lauuhed and took lior by tbo arm. She went with him unwillingly. "Sena for Mr. , " commanded th c floor walkorto | u cash boy , naming the proprie tor's son. The girl gave a shriek of terror. "Nol No ! Not ho ! " she criod. "I nm guilty. I admit It. But do not send for him , " she fairly bogged , Her pleadings were In vain. . The floor walker paid no bend to her outcry , nnd In n short time the young man came Into the oflico where the girl stood. "i shall never forgot the look on his face , " caidTiu ) : Uiii's : Informant. "Ho looked as If fiomcthlng had strucl ; him in ibo oycs. Ho was dumbfounded , " " 'Kato , is this you ! ' ho asked , "Sho hung down her bead nnd wouldn't speak , Ho turned to tuo lloor ivaluur and Bald : " 'Let tbls woman go , ' nnd there was the most woeful sound in his voice that 1 ovnr heard. She wont away without saving nn- other word , but when they nut her in carriage at the door she fainted dead away. "Who was she 1 you asi. That will never do to muko public , but nt any rateihoro was somothlnp voryitloso between thorn. They uro no longer frioftils. " Kloptomnniaci imvomany excuses far their Irresistible Impulse to steal. Absonl-inlnd- cdncss ts Iho molt common excuse of the Ulnptomanlao. ITtio tone of horror with whlclt she can ejaculate , ' 'Good heavens ) Wcro these hamHiorchlofs In my mufti" would do credit ID the average nclroif. Ono of the Ktrangost excuses ovi.1 given by nn nmntcun shoDllftor was offered in n Sixteenth street store not many weeks nco. At certain young woman , whoso identity wns subsequently learned , tnado largo purchases in n Farnntn street Btoro nnd ( irdhrcd Iho goods charged to nnothar well known Indy. Tlio Inttor dented having given the orders nnd thoyoung hiay wns about to got into police court. She made good tbo purchase and explained thnt sliu was n victim of hypnotism ; Hint whnn slio mot n certain man , whoso name she did not knnw..bo had but to look ut her nnd straightway stio xvas compelled to steal. She was completely in his power. Ho had mos- mcrlzed her. The shrewdness of these well-to-do pilfer ers Is shown iti the fact that they never give poverty as nn excuse for stealing. If they did so they would bo given up to Iho pollco nt onco. Being fashionable kleptomaniacs , they run no greater risk than that of having to pay for the goods which they have stolon. ARBOR DAY'EXEUCISES. Htnr the Omnlm Schools Observed tlio Oc casion Tcnclinrs nnd Scholar * . Arbor dny was variously observed through out the cily.
