A. photograph of the dead crook who was shot in Boston while In the act of robbing a safe was mailed here. The v department was unable to make tha identification. In speaking of the matter- Superintendent Collins-said: 'We have never made a mistake yet in ah Identification In all the 4.S80 iden tifications we have made since the in auguration of the- bureau. The Boston police had to photograph' the man after he - was dead and our department' was unable to prove to a certainty his iden tity,- although there were two or three pictures on file here bearing a striking resemblance. We could have Identified the man without question If his finger marks had been taken. That means of identification is , unfailing. . There are now In the bureau here the fingermarks of . 3,200 criminals, all taken since March 1.140J. We have a scheme of classification here which makes identi fication by fingermarks easy, and I have found that the experiment is a great success.' . ' .. . , I:--;' Lover of Mankind.

When a big crowd got around the bar that mouse was dead sure to appear on an Inspecting tour among the bottles that lined the shelves. Then the pro prietor would offer to bet a few rounds of drinks that he could catch It within Ave minutes, in a trap, and, needless to say, there were plenty of takers. . . With a small glass cheese cover for a trap, ' a match stick and a piece , of string to complete the fall and a piece of cheese for bait, Mr. Saloonkeeper would set to work and within a minute Mr. Mouse would be a prisoner,, and the drinks on the doubters. Nobody ; . except the saloonkeeper knows how the mouse lesrned to hunt the trap, but now It is Mead and Its pro prietor says he is out of the mouse business. . ?
