LITEEAEY THIEVES.

PSRSON5 WHO STEAL AND SELL THE WR1T1NQ8 OF OTHERS. ,.£*

rhey Are Generally Detected, but Until After They Hare Been Paid For the Stolen Goods Sample Oases From the

Experience of a Newspaper Man.

Some time ago, when I was in the room of my friend, Frank Stanton, a stranger walked in to sell him a poem.

The visitor read the flrsl verse, and Stanton chimed in: "Very good," he said, "but the next Verse is better," and be repeated it.

The new poet looked surprised. He insisted upon the examination of his poem, and he read the second verse. "That is good," commented Stanton, "but let me go on.?' Then he recited two or three verses. "But tboae are'mine," said the astonished stranger. "I can't help it," replied Stanton. •'Thll is mind reading."

The fellow walked off to tho elevator, and all the way down his talk could be heard. "I swear I wrote it," he said.

And yet be wan a plagiarist, and, after stealing one of Stanton's poems, had tried to sell it to him.

A man walked into my room one day and tossed me a slip of paper. "It is a little thing I have just thrown off," he said, "but if you think it is worth $5 it is all right."

I looked at it and found that it was Burns' lines to "Highland Mary." But there are bolder plagiarisms. Printers steal proofsheets'of new books and try to sell them.

A man has been known to copy a proofFbeetof the Britannica and sell it for hundreds of dollars.

One of our most noted newspaper correspondents appropriates entire pages from books and sells the matter as,his own.

Sometimes a really bright man is led into a crime of this kind, for which there is never any excuse.

A few years ago there was a student at a southern college whose literary gifts made him a shining light. When a prize was offered for a certain essay, everybody supposed that he would get it.

Of all the students he was the one man •who was able to write it. The appointed day came, and the prize was awarded to a new man, while the expulsion 6f the brilliant student was recommended*^

It segihVthflt the fellow had shirked his workj^^la^L s,tolen an article bodily from Blackwood. I'

A big statesman came to me ono day and In an offljand manner said that he would like to havei n»e get up the points.for a notable public address. He was too. busy, he said, and was away from bis. library. I wrote up the matter in narrative style and turned it over to the great man. He expressed his satisfaction, and when he delivered his speech it was my" matter, word for'word. He was very proud of it and had it printed and sent it everywhere.

A young lawyer came to me .several times to write speeches for him. "I know how to deliver them," he said, (J'but I can't compose them."

Of course I helped the youngifellow out, and in less than two years he was one of the leading lawyers of Georgia.

A year or two ago a Georgia daily offered a prize for the best poem. A young lady in South ^jirolina drew the money and pocketed it. Her poem was printed, and then came the discovery that she had stolen it. £he editor who had paid her wrote to her about It, but she laughingly defied him. She had won the prize and received the money, and that was the end of it with her.

One of the brightest men that ever lived in Atlanta used to visit The Constitution ®#5ce and ask permission to furnish editorial paragraphs. Finally he was gived a trial. He sent in a dozen first class paragraphs, and the next day it was discovered that he had C9pied all of them from George 1). Prentice.

How can such things be explained? The average plagiarist seems to think that he is the only reader and has the only book in the world.

When he is exposed, he finds that he is Eurrounded by a world of reading people. Sometimes an exposure is both ridiculous and sad. When Vice President Henry Wilson died, a southern literary weekly started a biographical sketch of him written by the lady to whom he was engaged. I saw aft a glance that it was stolen from Macaujay's: essay on Hampden and published ithe parallel columns. The biographical sketch, of course, came to an untimely eiflJ'V hrtd'tho "lady never appeared in the n#frapftpbrs again. 51owv16 it lEhdfc the plagiarists continue tbtiir wtfrk?

Here fti Atlanta there are thousands of cultured people who have read every line that is worth reading, and they cannot be deceived.

Steal an article from a magazine printed a century ago, and somebody here in Atlanta will locate it.

Even should the plagiarism escape detection here somebody will point it out in Che course of a few days.

Once upon a time a very bright journalist in Atlanta thoughtlessly borrowed a column article.

The next day he was exposed b$ a contemporary. "What arc you going to do about it?" askod a friend. "Noting," was the reply.

It was the only answer. When a plagiarism is exposed, the culprit must seek tefuge in silence. There i6 no other shelter, w-Wallace Putnam Reed in Atlanta ConitUution.

BAKED BANANAS.

Bfre Is a Man Who Lives on Them ami Grows Fat. For nearly a dozen years Cricton Campbell has lived almost entirely upon baked bananas. Not only has ho saved large •inns in grocery and hotel bills, but he has grown fat and robust on his diet, and desires that he hns scarcely known a sick moment since he discarded other food and began living on the tropical fruit.

Mr. Campbell is a clairvoyant, and has delved deeply in occultism, but he insists that that has nothing to do with his baked banana diet, and that any ordinary person can live and prosper on it.

Mr. Campbell learned the nutritive properties of the fruit when baked while studying in India. He noticed that all the laboring men seeirscd remarkably strong and vigorous, and upon inquiry found that they subsisted altogether upon baked plantains.- He tried them himself, and with such good results that he has been a stanch advocate of them ever since..

Take ordinary bananas," saifl Mr. Campbell to a reporter.

"Humboldt calculated that the enormous food product of the plantain is to that of the potato as 44 to 1, and to that oi wheat as 138 to 1. Baked bananas are easily digested."—New York Press.

FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.

Next week very likely the reckless stream will majce his neighbor across the river a present of a hundred or more acres, just because be doesn't need them. 01 course it was natural for.a man who lost his land that way to look longingly across the river, and think after awhile that the newly made land over there belonged tc him, and many a wearisome lawsuit has been begun to rccover title to "made" land which lies maybe exactly where the losl farm lay, but on the other side of the river. Perhaps there is some equity in such a claim. But the trouble is that sort oi thing is going on all the time, and the courts said tbey equjejn't keep track oi such pranks that lands aoquired by accretion—mark .the word—should belong to the farmer who olwned the river bat^ where they were throwri up that if the river took your farm you would have to fish it out of the stream you lost it in. At least, you needn't ask the courts to give you another for it.,

How a Soldier Feels In Battle.' "If you want to know what my sensations were in my first battle," said a distinguished colonel, "I'll tell you. They were chiefly bewilderment and fear. You may be surprised to hear it, but these are the predominating sensations of 99 out oi every 100 soldiers in their first engagement, however enthusiastio they may have been previously, for the shock to the nerves on being suddenly brbught for the first time face to face with bloodshed and death and the noise of the battle is terrorizing. "I remember in the Zulu war seeing a young private who was eager for the fight an hour before standing apparently terrified and trembling in every limb. A slight assagai wound roused him, on which, enraged with pain, he shot his assailant, and, hiB blood' being up, he dashed into the fray with ferocity, fr "I once sdiw a youngster in the Sudan faint clean away on seeing a comrade fall bleeding with a Madhist's spear through his body. A few iriinuteg later, though, he was fighting liked tiger and had killed three Arabs ip a hand to hand fight:before I lost sight of him. "Two of our best known field officers at the present time, who served in Ashanti and Afghanistan, have owned they were in the first battles as 'Johnny Raws' so dazed and unnerved as to be. incapable ol action, and one of our greatest generals, who now possesses the Victoria cross, was in his first engagement so panic stricken that he turned and galloped out of the fight. Regaining his self control before he had gone far, he returned and was in time to render assistance at a critical moment, for which he was promoted."—Strand Magazine.

THE WIFE OF NANSEN.

Romantic Manner In Which the Arctic :plorer First Met Her. Of Dr. Nansen's wife not much information has found its way into print. She seems to have a very imperfectly developed' taste for publicity, but what is known of her is interesting and indicates that she is an uncommon woman both in talent and character. It is recorded by Dr. Nansen's biographers, Brogger and Rolfsen, that his first meeting with his future wife was in the woods about Frogner Seator, where one day, observing the soles of two feet sticking up out of the snow, he approached them, with natural curiosity, in time to seethe head of Eva Sars emerge from a snow bank. Dr. Nansen was married -a 1889 after his return from his successful expedition across Greenland. When hie started in,the Fram in 1893, his wife, left at home at Lysaker, near Christiania, with ono child, turned for occupation to the development and use of her gifts as a singer, and with notable success.

Farmers Who Find, Their Fields Disappeared Overnight. In St. Nicholas Frank H. Spearman ha« a paper entitled "A Shifting Boundary,'' which tells of the way the Missouri rivei has qf suddenly changing its boundaries.

Spearman says: Of course you've heard of the curious freaks of tho Missouri river—the "Big Muddy how the. sudden, treacheroue mountain waters roll down in mighty floods from Montana and Wyoming, ricochet from side to side of the broad valley they have eaten into the soft prairies and pour headlong into the Mississippi neai St. Louis how, night and day, wintei and summer, the twisting torrent shifts its channel, cuts its banks, undermines railroads, astonishes the muskrats, keeps the fish studying guldeposts, worries the bridge guards and sets the farmers crazy, for, just think of it, the Nebraska farmei whose land stretches along the river goes to bed thinking he will cut his broad acres of golden wheat in the morning but, lo, in the night that madcap river has entered his waving fields, and like snow they have molted away—grain, fences, trees, buildings, landj all gone! And a great, sullen, yellow flood boils and eddies where his harvest smiled yesterday.

Sweden is one of her ad

mirers, and especially likes her singing, whioh ho has often beard, and since she has been in England the compliment has been paid her of asking her to sing before the queen. She is a stanch backer of her adventurous husband, whose departure on his perilous errand cost her anxieties and misgivings about which she said little at the time. Since her husband's return she has sometimes spoken in conversation of her fears, and has said that careful comparison of Dr. Nansen's diary with her record or remembrance of her own sensations bears her out in the belief that the times when phe was the most concerncd about bin were the seasons of his greatest peril. That implies a telepathic communication I irn of intense sympathy and solicitude, the possibility of which science seems no longer disposed to deny.—Philadelphia Times.

Famous Battle Steeds.

The most celebrated battle steeds of the civil war were Cincinnati, Traveler and Winchester, the favorite chargers of Grant, Itee#nd Sheridan. When the hero of Vicksbufg visited Cincinnati a few months after the close of that brilliant campaign, he was requested to visit a dying man, who was exceedingly desirous of seeing him. When they met, the Invalid said: "General Grant, I wish to give you a noble horse, who has no superior on the continent, as a testimony of my admiration for your character and past services to our country. There is a condition attached to the gift—that yoti will always treat him kindly." Grant accepted the magnificent bay, of course, faithfully keeping his promise, and named him Cincinnati. Ho was a eon of Lexington, with a single exception the fastest four mile thoroughbred that ever ran on an American course. The general was offered $10,000 for the horse, as he had a record of speed almost equal to that of his famous half brother Kentucky. Cincinnati was a ?uperb and spirited steed of great endurance, Grant riding him almost constantly during the Wilderness campaign, and passing from end to end of our long line. The noble hors» was retired soon aftar the dose of the war, enjoying "an old age of dignified leisure" on a Maryland estate, where his master frequently saw him, and where he died and received honorable burial in September, 1S74.—Outlook.

WHERE BURGLARS QUAIL.

A Look at the Strong Room of Great New York Bank. No little dramatio interest is latent in tbese hx^gfe boxes of heavy masonry, of tbe dimensions of a large room, with their thousand? interior safes, each w^tfh its own locks of various complexity and strength. In a single vault on Broadway there are 15,000 compartments, from a size just sufficient to contain a dozen railroad bonds to tbe huge caverns of masonry that hold tons upon tons of silver and gold.

Tbe main doors which furnish entrance to the great box are tbe points on which tbe utmost mechanical skill is lavished. No burglar would ever think of trying to effect an entrance through tbe walls. If be disposed of the watchman who tramps around the outside in a little alley between the outer walls of the building and th^ vault, it would require days to drill sufficient holes tp take a solid piece out of the wall. But if a burglar can only overcome the lock of one of the main doors there i? the entrance ready made.

PRISONERS IN GRAY.

MORE STRIPED SU!TS FOR CONVICTS IN KANSAS.

Another &ate That Has Adopted the Graded System of Prison Cnlforaj—After July 4 Stripes Will Be Reserved For the

Incorrigible*—Prisoners Are^Pleaaed.

An innovation in the form of a change in prison garb will shortly take place in tbe Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing. The time honored stripes, so long associated with prisons as the insignia of a convict, will give place to a suit of cadet gray. This was announced to the prisoners at the close of religious services in the chapel Sunday afternoon, the announcement being received with hearty applause by the listeners. In announcing tbe change Warden Landis told the prisoners that the change would be made on July 4, and that it would affect those whose records were good up to that time. Should any of them disregard tbe rules and regulations of the institution sufficiently to merit a punishment they would continue to wear the stripes and be an object of special observation to all visitors and to their fellows.

Warden Landis, in reply to questions concerning bis reasons for departing from the time honored system of 6triped clothing, said: "When I assumed control of the penitentiary in February last, I found the clothing supply of the prison very deficient. Many of the men did not have as much as a change of shirts, and were compelled to go dirty or to do without shirts while their clothing was being washed. Trousers and drawers had been patched until in some instances there was hardly any of the original fabrio left. The men were also almost barefooted. "I had long thought that a change in •the uniform worn could be used in benefiting the discipline of the prison and increasing a respect for the social surroundings. As new clothing had to be purchased, there was an opportunity to put the idea into practice, and I decided to avail myself of it. "After looking around and examining various samples I selected a cloth of cadet gray, and I have the suits in process of making. By July 4, when the change will go into effect, I will have two suits ready for each man."

Asked as to what, effect he thought the proposed change wtoulii have upon the men's conduct, he rtpll3d: "I believe the change will have beneficial results—in fact, am satisfied it will prove so. When made the announcement to the men bt' tke proposed change, they seemed highly delighted with the prospect. Since that time I have observed a difference in the demeanor of the prisoners, and the class of offenses has been of a more trivial character. Sinoe the men know that only good conduct will entitle them to wear the new uniform, it can be readily seen that they will try to keep out of the hated clothing."®

A number of the men expressed themselves as highly pleased over the prospec tive change.

Warden French of the TJnited States penitentiary at Leavenworth, who perhaps has had more experience with the system than any other prison official in the west, was asked about the graded system of uniforms. It is in use in that prison, and the warden has observed its workings elsewhere. The warden was asked if he believed in the system. "I do, if you will carry it far enough to make it effective and give the convict an inducement and opportunity to reform, said he. "Reformation is the purpose of classification for the grading of convicts in prison managements The change from the familiar stripe to the different grades of uniform is but one step in the plan of reformatory work in prisons. 4t is the most important step, and, like the 'half loaf,' is better than no progress at all. "The stripe is older than the penitentiary in this country. It came across the ocean. The look step came with it. We associate both with tha penitentiary, and in the public mind the chief mark of disgrace in going to the penitentiary is the donning of the stripes. The* convicts know this and benoe the opportunity to keep out of them is seized upon by all men sent to prison, especially by men .who still possess hope a^d ambition to be something better than a convict. "'In several states today actual experience daily is demonstrating that men in prison will strive to get into the clothing of the highest grade, usually a gray cloth, and, that privilege gained, they will so guard their conduct as not to lose its advantages. The rule is to have three grades —the lower with the old prison stripes, the middle with the black and white check and the third the higher or gray uniform. "The convict enters in the middle class. He then*is given an opportunity to advance or degrade', according to bis conduct. "In the lower grade he loses all good time and is denied parole or pardon—in fact, he has no privilej&s and his portion is hard work during the full term pf his sentence. In the juiaule class he gets his good time and limited privileges but is barred from pardon or parole. In the highest grade he gets all the privileges the discipline of the prison accords, and be is eligible to parole at any moment his continued good conduct merits it. "Now, the immediate benefit of such a system of prison management is that the prisoner's mind is fixed upon good conduct from the start, and he is given the strong incentive of liberty to struggle in that direction. In this struggle, it. may be, ho becomes conscious for tbe first time of his real conditions and in this awakening reformation begins. I do not mean that every convict that wears the highest grade will leave the prison a reformed man and from thenco lead an upright life, but I do mean that the possibilities for such a result are infinitely greater under such methods than under the old method of prison management. "One thing is certain—with a graded system convicts can wear the highest grade uniform only by living obedient to the standard of discipline which the uniform represents, and it will be found today that in the several prisons wheretbe graded system is in vogue a very small per cent of the inmates are clad in stripes. At the very least, a life of individual progress in tbe prison must mean a condition for betterment on the outside. "The states are falling in line rapidly, and I am glad to see that Kansas is for progress in prison management."—Cor. Chicago Record.

INDIA CURRY.

A Hot Weather Use of the Condiment Not Generally Known to Americans, use of that wholesome condiment, curry jjowder, in the average American family 1$ becoming greater each year. This powder has been in general use in England since the days of Warren Hastings, and Englishmen have become very fond of it, somesprinkling the curry from a holder As an: American would pepper upon bis food. People living where the heat of the climate makes it necessary to use stimulating condiments in their viands learn quickly to like a curried dish or anything with this powder in it.

Perhaps it is not generally known that slices of pold meat or fowl heated in a well seasoned curry sauce and served for luncheon on a hot summer's day are better for the stomach than the cold meats alone. A curry powder is used with great success in seasoning fish sauces and vegetable dishes as well as meats, and a little of this powder in soups adds to their flavor.

A curry powder is pulverized very fine and smooch and usually is prepared with the following spices: Twelve ounoes of tumeric, an ounce of cayenne- pepper, half an Of black pepper, the same of paprika, 6 ounoes of ginger, half an ounce eacfy of cardamom seed, oummin seed, mace and cinnamon and 8 ounces of coriander seed. A bottle of the best imported India curry powder may be purchased at a small expense and will retain its strength for a long while if kept closely corked, rolled in thick paper or put in a dark place.

In the East Indies, where curries are so successfully made, an acid fruit is commonly and cocoanut is always used with the other ingredients, which would seem unusual to us, who are accustomed to associating cocoanut with delicate cakes and dainty puddings.

Here, is one recipe for India curry: Break open a cocoanut, save the milk and grate half th& nut meat. Pour over this half a cup of fresh milk and the cocoanut milk and iet them stand in a cool place several hours._ Take a boiled fowl and cut it into pieces 6f the proper size, removing the skinand bones and sprinkling the flesh lightly with salt. Cut a good sized onion into small pieces and put it into a frying pan witb 3 tablespoonfuls of butter .cook five minutes add half a chopped green peppfeir and cook five minutes longer stir in 3, tablespoonfuls of flour and 5i teaspoonfuls of ourry powder and stir until, it ia frothy slowly add a pint of the liquid in which the chicken was cooked, after removing the grease carefully. Now press tha milk from the grated cocoanut and add it to the other ingredients with a teaspoonful of sugar. Allow these to cook slowly ten minutes. Put into a saucepan tho prepared meat and strain the curry sauce over it add the juice of half a lem on cover the pan and let the contents just bubble for 20 minutes then serve. A few raisins or pieces of apricots are frequently added with the other ingredients then the sugar and lemon may be omitted.—New York Sun.

The Old Plantation Organization, From the industrial standpoint, the old plantation organization was a very perfect one. Great executive ability was required to manage it, and the lordly owner oi these vast estates was far from the idle, ort loving or politics talking spendthrift .hftf he is commonly supposed to have been. If he kept his property together and took care of all his dependents, he was a busy, hard worked man.

The model planter of those days produced afi home everything that was needed to feed and clothe bis slaves and, to a great extent, also, his own family. Exccpt in few sections of the south, where the lands were especially well adapted to rico, cotton or sugar and yielded such great profits that it paid the planter todevote all of his labor to their poduction alono, the wheat, corn and .meat to feed the peoplo, and, to a k.rge extent, the cotton, wool and leather to clothe them, we^a produced and. manufactured upon the plantations. Almost all large farms had gristmills -arid many had flouring milli. Nearly every large estate bad its tannery and ^hoe factory, its blacksmith, wagon antl .'implement shbps- and its spinning and Reaving factories also. The oldei plantations in 'the up.country were filled tvitb these and other kinds of industries, nearly all of which have since disappeared. The old planter and his dependents lived thus to a large extent upon the products of bis estate, which, were manufactured, in a somewhat crude way perhaps, upon thOiestafce. Only the iron and steel, the finer groceries, a few medicines and some of the richer cloths for the use of the owner's family were purchased in tbe cities. Almost everything else was made upon the farm or purchased from the small fac tories belonging to the country.—Southerr States.
