Corporate SECURITY is becoming popular

greut favor and ieopardize their prop

reasonable, whcn you think abou: it. to
ask friend to insure your life or in
sure your house against fire, as to ask
him to insure your integrity. There is
no reason now why the man seeking se-
curity should embarrass himself or his
friends by asking personal surety. The
fidelity feature of this surety business
has become quito prominent and haa
extended rapidly when attention has
been called 10 it in other States. IL is
said that in some places most business
men insure the fidelity OF their clerks

protection as from their protection from

The forty.fifth year of Roanoke

happy day for the Faculty and stu

young men showed that they agreed
with the speaker in advocating such
high standards of scholarship and
character.
President Dreher then spoke a
few words Of welcome, made the
usual announcements, expressed
the appreciation OF the Faculty for
the interest of the many friends
who aided in making the opening so
encouraging, and commended the
old students for the kind and cor

closed, the work Of classifying the
new students, which was begun on
Tuesday, was continued through the
day, so class work might be resumed
promptly on the second day Of the

The attendance on the first day
was very encouraging, indicating an

Ger of the United Telegram company
that he caused the arrest to be made.
Mr. Baker said:
"The arrest is the result Of suit
which was brought against President

ist in the treasury Of his company
Judge Colt of the United States cir
cult court at Boston last February ap-
pointed ]. Marsden Perry as receiver in
the suit Of the directors Of the company
against President Strain. The receiver
found after an examination of the books
that the shortage for which the presi-
dent was held responsible was due TO
the fact that he had drawn out the
money and put in his notes and some
stock of the company as security The
notes have never been paid"
Counselor w. w. Cook of the Postal
Telegraph company said that President
A. b. Chandler was also director In
the United Telegram company. The two
companies had many directors and Off
GERS in common. but were different COM
panies The United Telegram company
OF Boston was what is known as a ticker
company which sent news Of stock quo
tations about the city of Boston. Th'
Postal Telegraph company carried iti
stock quotations.
Robert F. Strain was president Of thl
ticker company for two years. He Il
married and lives in Brookllne nea'
Boston. Mr.. Cook says that he had al
ways had a good reputation.
"The criminal charge" said Mr.. Cook
sis based upon the fact that Mr.. Straii
took out money from the treasury o
the company without authority an
merely left his notes as security. Al
though he must have known that tn
company could use that money II II ha'
It. he never volunteered TO turn It bacl

OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.
A Georgia Boys Escape from an AIIi-
nufCr.

The alligator. as is well known, swal-
lows its prey whole and digests it at
leisure, like many others of the reptile
family. 1t is to this which is given as
a fact by the Rome Hustler, Georgia,
that Edward Roland, of that city, owes
his life.
In Ronald's boyhood his parents
had a winter home in the neighbor
hood of Sanford, Fla, which is near
Dennis creek, a locality which was
then famous for its numerous alliga-
tors. When little fellow, too young
distinctly TO remember the circum-
stances, the boy was out with his IA
ther on the creek shore, and was left
alone for a little while, playing with
some pebbles.
Suddenly the father heard Edward
scream and ran in his direction. He
reached the spot just in time to see the
little fellow disappearing down the
gaping throat of a huge alligator. Mr..
Ronald had his gun in hand, and, quick
" taking aim at the saurian, fired.
Fortunately, the bullet struck the
brute in the eye, penetrating the brain,
and killed it instantly.
The feet of the boy were still pro
truding from the reptiles mouth.
The father, not daring to hope that his
son was alive, cut open the alligator
thinking to obtain the boys remains
for burial.
To Mr.. Roland's delight, the body
showed signs of life, and after several
hours of hard work the boy was re,
suscitated. The only serious injury
was to the ankles, which had beer
crushed by the reptiles teeth, doubt
less when in the throes of death.
Since that time Roland has beer
crippled, but only to the extent O
wearing steel braces on his ankles. HI
enjoys the unique distinction Of hav
ing been almost swallowed by an alli
! gator
