An Important
Leak
Br THOMAS R. DEAN
When a very young man I secured
a position as clerk In a large diamond
house. The diamonds were received Id
the rough and ground In a department
for that purpose. They were sold both
at wholesale and at retail, the whole
saling being done upstairs and the re
tailing on the ground floor.
One day Just before closing the
doors were all locked and every em
ployee was ordered to a large room
where the head of the firm spoke to us.
He told us that there was a leakage of
diamonds In the establishment and we
must all be searched. This was done,
but I didn't learn that diamonds were
found on nny one.
The leak continued? that was evi
dent from the fact that a number of
methods were adopted for catchlug the j
thief, though all of them were fall :
urea. A detective was Introduced on I
the premises who went to work with
us as an employee. We rarely had any j
change In the force, and a Dew man
going to work among us. at a time
when goods were missed, made me j
auspicious of this person? Erhart was j
his name? and I fell to watchlug him
I soon saw enough to couvlnce me
that he was what I took him for.
Id order to facilitate matters, the
firm offered a reward of $l!.f>00 for evl
dence that would convict the perpe- -
trator of the theft. It struck me that
the reward would lie more effective
than Mr. Erhart. But 1 hadn't much !
confidence In either. Doubtless the !
thief had found some Ingenious way of j
getting awny with the plunder, and :
diamonds are so small that they could
be removed without much chance of
detection.
1 was working on a small salary
doing boy's work. Hoys are the most
observing creatures in the world, and
I was no exception to the rule. I was I
not confined to any one department. I
was dolug odds and ends In all parts
of the building. It struck me that 1
would like to earn that $2,500. I was
ambitious to set up In some kind of a
small business of my own. and the re
ward would be far more ihau enough
capital for any I would think of going
Into.
Nevertheless 1 did not go about the
matter deliberately or methodically. 1
didn't know how to make a beginning
I supposed the detective would know
all about that, and I envied him his
experience.
About the time the diamonds were i
missed mire began to appear on the
premises. Traps were set In different
places, and every day one or more mice
were caught. But somehow the num
ber of mice didn't seem to diminish
Then a cat was Introduced. The cat,
?o far as could be seen, didn't catch
any mice, but the tratm did.
That pave ine a suspicion that the
mice might possibly have something
to do with the missing diamonds. For
my part I would rather trust a cat to
catch mice thau a trap. I have known
mice to go all about a trap and let It
severely alone The next time 1 saw
a mouse In a trap 1 noticed that It
had been caught In such a way as to
kill It. Indeed, I couldn't And that one
of them was ever caught by the foot
or the tall or In any way that would
not kill It.
My suspicious having grown In this
direction, I resolved to watch one of
the traps. But this was easier said
than done. The traps were placed In
secluded corners. Any one could go
to them at any time, but they were
not In position to be watched. I gained
nothing by this Idea.
One day I found a mouse In a trap
and concluded to throw it out I did
so and tossed It out through a window
In the rear, where It fell in the small
space between our building and the
one behind It. I leaned on the window
sill, looking down to see where It fell,
and to my surprise 1 saw n sash that
stood about a foot above the ground
raised, a hand reach out nnd take the
mouse In.
The problem was solved. The dia
monds were removed In the mice.
After taking time to consider what 1
should do I went to tbe bead of the
firm and told him that I could tell
him of the way in which the diamonds
were removed, though I did not know
who stole them or who received them.
1 was told that if my Information
should lead to the detection of the
thief I would be paid the reward. I
then gave an account of my suspicions
as to the mice being the means of
conveyance for the diamonds, how I
bad thrown out tbe dead mouse and
bad seen It taken In through a base
ment window.
I was relieved of further responsl
bllity In the matter, the management
of the concern using Its own methods
to trap the guilty parties. They put a
confederate In tbe building into which
tbe dead mouse bad been taken, who
watched for the reception of another
mouse, while a watch was also set on
every trap. It was not long before
both persons concerned In the theft
were caught. They were convicted
and I was paid the reward.
With the capital acquired I set np a
small shop for the sale of stationery
and miscellaneous articles, and since
my expenses were small made money.
I went from that business to a larger
one, growing In prosperity all the
while, and I am now a merchant In
good standing. When asked how I
. got my start In life I reply, "Through
* dead moose."
AN IRON WILLED MONARCH.
On# Man Ruls as Exemplified In Fred
erick (ha Great.
Frederick w?? an intensively act I re,
biplily capable, strong willed and self
reltant commander. He concentrated
all power In hi* nwn hands, redming
his minister* to clerical work and bia
generals to the duties of personal lien
tenant*. Below 1dm the Prussian ad
ministration naa a thine of atlff aud
mechanical obedlmce, lacking In ini
tiative and Individuality.
Several of Frederick's military losses
were due to the fact that he gnve hta
generals auch mliute orders and wsa
ao severe In cas?> of disregard of in
structlons that they did not dare to
use tbelr own Judgment when unfor
aeon conditions [resented themselves.
He personally foresaw and provided
for everything, and he Inapected fre
quently and thoroughly. Ilia discipline
was severe, hla organisation good, bla
calculation accnrate and limited to
what was possible. His movements,
which were skillfully disguised, were
rapid.
So superior wa?i Frederick to hla op
ponents In strategy {hat they were
obliged for safety to keep their troops
in so concentrate a form that there
was not sufficient apace for effective
maneuvers. He waa more capabis in
marching and maneuver than In bat
tle, more capable In tattle than In
siege.
His great defect as an administrator
Isy In the fact that he dwarfed the
growth of those l*low him and so edu
cated no talented corps to !>ear the
political and military burdena of the
state when he nhould be obliged to
lay them down. He apparently could
do things only through himself. Hav
ing a supreme contempt ft>r the capaci
ties of most mortals, he had no mind
to make experimmta which might have
changed hla opinlona. Although he
knew for many years that hla succes
sor was to be a man wltbont ability,
he handed down to him a aystem wlikh
required a Frederick. We may say that
he brilliantly administered a system
which was badly organised.? Edward

Trade At Home
Ir is a hard thing to 'convince tome people, who have acquired the
mail order] habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green field* far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they. i? *r any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where if can ?? nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or tho:r?anda of
miies away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests ofthe commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against'mail order business.
