Among all the blessings Of civiliza
ton none embraces a wider sphere
for the comfort of humanity than the
modern canning factory. All kinds
of fruit Id vegetables a be grown

like the work to do.

goods and arc willing TO pay for
them. The canned sweet potato will
find n market in scciions where they
are not grown. Supplying the army
and navy ships going to sea and in

kinds OF business and professions are
interested. in a canning factory

ficers Reelected.

ing. delivered an excellent address, his sub
ject being The past and the future"
The subject of debate, "Resoiyed. That all
games which have any elements OF chance
should be discouraged" was argued in the
Affirmative by Mr.. W. /. Campbell with Mr.
Fred G. Huebner in the negative. Each OF
these gent emen was allowed fifteen minutes
in which to show his side OF the case.
When the question was thrown open for
general debate Mr.. W. ". Watson made a
very elaborate argument on the negative side
OF the question eontending that In a measure
all life was chance.
Mr. E. W. de Knight fIIlowed in the af-
flrmative with some humorous remarks, and
concluded by saying. that as far as this subject
was concerned. he found himself between
the devil and the deep, blue sea- Mr.. L. c.
Williams made argument proving concius-
lively that rs compared with games OF chance,
games of skill were the more to be stunned.
NJ. T. E. Tasker didn't know where ne was
at" but did know he had no chance TO win al
any game of skill.

ROBBED AT A PISTOLS POINT.

Two Men Held Up Mary jenkins and
Secured Small Snr-
As Mary jenkins, eolored girl, was re-
turning to her home at No. 14l0 street north
west. after making purchases at neighbor-
ing grocery store, she was confronted by two
mon. One held a pistol in the frightened
girls face.
"Giye up yer money or I'll kill yer!H he
threatened.
Mary tremblingly handed over SAG TO the
robbers. all the money she had and then
hastened away, when the thieves were salts
fled.
The girl was 50 scared at the appearance of
the pistol that she did not notice we'll the
faces OF the footpads. One was a white man
and the other colored, according TO the
description she gave later to the police, but
she was net able to very accurately describe
them.
AS the girl lad started out with s5 note,
and had spent .c cents worth. it is thought
that some one who knew that she had the
money might have determined to rob her. 1t
is altogether probable, however, that the
hold-up was the work of two Of the numerous
tramps who are now infesting the city.
