From the Reading tPs.) Telegram.
The Washington Star is getting alarmed,

commonplace Individual who vainly tries
to arouse interest in the fact that he needs
money. But most people are too busy try
ing to meet their own interest.
Chicago's Fly Cops. So.

Two policemen caught an eagle in one
Of Chicago's parks. Perhaps it would be
