LOWELL BANKS BIG LOSS
Teller and Bookkeeper Robbed the
Institution Of $ii5,000.
But Securities Worth 100000 Are Re-
turned by the Ascending Employees,
Who Made a Settlement.

Lowell, Mass.-The financial trou-
bles which had caused great suspense
to the officers of the Merchants Ma
tlonal Bank FOR three days, owing to
the disappearance of its teller, Albert
G. Smith, and its bo%okkeeper, Lewis
II. Swift, have been practically
smoothed out. The bank has lost
about $4,000. The directors Off
cially state this, and at the same time
say that they have returned 'valua-
bic securities"
The banks loss, 1T is understood, is
made up of two items, first, the steal
ings of the two men during the past
two years, as shown now by the
books, and secondly, that part % lbe
cash included in the loot retained by
Smith and Swift as the price of thcir
bargain . return the securities val

These valuable securities" as de-
scribed by one director, We're returned
In carpet bags, and represented
bonds, notes and other negotiable
papers and big punches of money, all
supposed to have been taken from the
bank vault just prior to the time the
men disappeared a few days ago.
The loot from the bank vault was
delivered at the bank after the bank
directors had been in conference with
Lawyers j. C. Burke, of Lowell, and
c. w. Bartlett, of Boston, representing
the lei Lawyer Burke, when asked
If his clients would be in danger of
prosecution, said:
Il know of nothing which would in

prosecuted"
The official statement of the direc-
tors follows:
The time has arrived when the
President and directors of the Mer-
chants National Bank feel that a
statement is due the public. Certain
securities belonging to the bank We're
taken from its vaults through the col

The highest waterfall in the world,
geography tells us, is the Cerosola Cas-

feet; that of Alvey, in Savoy, Is 1150

range from 700 tc 1000 feet. But high
er yet is the waterfall in the San

some prospectors, ten years ago, in the

the Tierras Desconocidas. While

There Is no mystery nor secret in
keeping my apples. l have no cold,

earth banked up two feet outside. l
accept the fact that only a sound ap-
pie can be expected to keep, and that
it is the business of this kind to keep
until dead ripe, unless affected by
IN outside agent. The rlpening is
fastened by heat and retarded by cold,
whether on or Off the tree. Under
same temperature they ripen much
faster off the tree than on. A sound
apple hanging in sunshine on a tree
will always feel cool to the hand.
while in the same sunshine it will
cook through if detached, Premature
gathering does not add to keeping
qualities, but does detract from eating
qualities.
The most critical period in keeping
apples is the hot weather during and
just after gathering, As l have no
cool place, l want them TO pass as
much of this period on the trees as
possible. But it is not safe to leave
them too long, lest they drop. When
barreled keep in barn woodslIed or
