Robbery at

Last Friday night as Robt. Moore
and Bert Holdredge came home from
a skating party between the hours of
12 and 1 they saw a flash of light in the
store Of Kenyon Bros, and thinking
something strange they gave the alarm
to Rob. Kenyon and his father who
Immediately ran down to the store.
While M. ID. Kenyon watched at the
rear window Rob Kenyon and Rob
Moore went around in front and un-
locking the door Rob Moore walked
boldly in. Just AS he got well inside
he saw a man raise up and take a step
forward. Showing u big revolver into
his wouldbe captor's face the thief
ordered 'him to hold up his hands.
Gee whiz," said Bah, ''he's in there
and made a bold strike for liberty
gong out the door like q meteor. Rob
Kenyon stood just outside the door
with a big revolver but the robber
merely said "shove up your hands" to
him and rs he did so stepped forward
and took Rob's gun, then ordered him
to step around the corner land to be in
a hurry too he said, shooting at him
rs he went.
After his captors were well out OF
sight the thief walked away and was
G & no more.
In the morning it was found that he
had broken open the depot and taken

No Money Needed.
at takes money to runs news

ut takes money to runa newspaper"
From the st. John, Kansas, News.
What an exaggeration; what a whop.
per- 1t has been disproved a thousand
times; it is a clear case OF airy fancy
It doesn't take money to run a news
paper. 1t can be run without money.
II is not q business venture. IL is q
charitable institution, a begging con.
Germ, a highway robbery. B'Godfrey,
a newspaper is a child of the air, a
creature of a dream. 1t can go on aud
on and on, when any other concern
would be in the hands Of the receiver
and wound mp with cobwebs in the
window.
Ii takes wind to u a newspaper: it
takes gall to run n newspaper. 1t
takes cointillating, acrobatic imagina.
ton, and half a dozen white shirts and
u railroad pass to run a newspaper.
But money--heavens to Betsy and six
hands around, who ever needed money
in conducting a newspaper Kind
words are the medium Of exchange
that do the business for the editor
| kind words and church social tickets.
| When you see the editor with money,
watch him. He'll be paying his bills
and disgracing his profession. Mover
give money 10 an editor. Make him
trade il out; he likes to swap.
Then when you die, after having
stood around for years aud sneered at
the editor and his little Jim crow paper,
be sure and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by n Of your weep
ing children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notice about
you, forewarn her to Geglect to send 10
cents to the editor. 1t would over-
whelm him. Money is a %corrupting
thing. The editor knows it and what
he wants is your heartfelt thanks.
Then he can thank the printers and
they can thank their grocers.
Take job work to the job Offices aud
then come and ask half rates for the
church notices. Get your lodge letter
heads and stationery printed out OF
town, and then food the editor with
beautiful thoughts in resolutions OF
respect and cards Of thanks. They
make such spicy reading, and when
you pick it up filled with these glowing
and vivid mortuary articles, yea are
so proud of your little local paper.
But ~money-scorn the filthy thing
Don't let the pure, innocent editor
know anything about it. Keep that
for the sordid trades people who
charge for their wares. The editor
gives his bounty away. The LORD
loves a cheerful giver. He'll take care
of the editor. Don't worry about the
editor. He has a charter from the
state to act as a door nat for the com
munity. He will get the paper on
; ; somehow; and stand up for the town
whoop it up for you when you run FOL

Mr.. E. d. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ca,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external appli-
cations and internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.
