Dear little thing. That’s the way to learn to play by note.
Some editors make editorial music that way, and the scores are written in Wall Street.
Pinkerton’s Report to Ye Bankers
Accordingly to the report made by the Pinkerton Detective Agency to the American Bankers’ Association, at its last meeting, there were arrested and prosecuted during the ten years preceding September, 1905, five hundred and fifty-four citizens who had committed crimes against these banks. Some of these erring citizens had committed forgery, others burglary, eleven were classified as robbers, and fourteen were called sneak thieves. These last named probably stole the cashier’s umbrella, or got away with the president’s gold-headed cane.
The Law came down, hard and heavy, upon the citizens who had sinned against the banks, and the transgressors were given sentences aggregating two thousand and one hundred years in prisons, chain-gangs and penitentiaries.
Think of it—2,100 years!
The sum total of the money which the banks lost by the operations of all these criminals, during the entire period of ten years, appears to have been less than one hundred thousand dollars.
Yet the law-breakers who caused the loss must vindicate the law by a penal servitude of more than two thousand years.
There’s Justice for you.
During that period of ten years how many banks have gone to smash? How many presidents and cashiers have looted the funds committed to their care?
