Tor the tribes round Athabsca,
And the men of Madagascar,
And the poor souls Of Alaska.

So she did.

And the poor half.melted Feejan,
And dear Malacca Islander,
So she did.
She sent tins of red tomato
To the tribes beyond the equator.
But her husband ate potato.

THE BOLDEST BANK ROBBERY ON
RECORD.

The boldest and most daring bank
robbery on record occurred in Den
yer, Colorado, last Friday afternoon.
By appointment stranger met MIR.
Moffatt, president of the First Ma
tional bank, in his office, placed a
pistol to the presidents head and
demanded that he sign a check for
$2l, 900, and on pain of refusual he
would blow his brains out. He said
he was in want, desperate and had
contemplated suicide, and that he
had counted the perils of his present
action, and the money he was Ge-
termined to have, and that if the
president made a noise, rung a bell
or called for help, he would blow
his brains out and then blow the
building and himself up with bot
tie of dynamite, which he pulled
out of his pocket. The president
signed the check and then walked
up to the bank teller and told him
to cash it, while at his back follow
ed the stranger with his pistol under
his coat ready to shoot if the emer-
gency demanded. They went back
to the presidents office and waited
two or three minutes, when the
robber demanded that the president
hurry up the teller, who came, when
the robber said he wanted $1,000 of
the money in gold and the balance
in one thousand dollar bills. The
teller returned with the money
when it was paid over to the stran-
ger, who took it and left the office,
requiring the president to stand at
the door until he got out, then tip
ping his hat, he darted around the
corner and made his escape.
