SHORT STORIES FROM
THE SMALL AD. PAGE
Lost Draft for $50 Turns Up at Bank
Before It's Owner.

Probably no medium is so prolific in
the promotion of belief in the Unborn
honesty Of the human race as the small
ad. page of the daily papers The lost
and found columns of such papers as
The Times are the daily medium through
which lost property and its owner IS
again brought together
An instance of the effect OF one OF
these small advertisements is to De
found in the experience Of the secretary
of one of the large beneficial Organiza-
tons with an international reputation
After purchasing q draft on London
England. for $50 to be sent to the home
Office OF the society, he started for the
postofice. only TO find on arriving there
thar he had lost both the letter and the
draft Il was then after banking hours.
and inserting a small ad- under the head
of Lost and Found he returned to his
home
The following morning. after opening
his mail. he went TO the banker from
whom he had secured the draft to have
payment on it stopped. He had not half
finished his story when the banker pro-
duced the missing draft and said thar
the gentleman who had brought i IN
in response TO the advertisement had but
q moment before left the banking house
No reward had been offered and it was
only one Of those daily acts OF gracious
ness that induced the finder 10 60 out
of his way TO place the property in the
hands of the righJful owner.
It is the invariable practice OF Cap
tain Boardman and his men. when any
article IS reported missing. unless there
are undispUtable evidences Of theft, to
recommend that an advertisement be in
serted in the papers. Furthermore, as q
result of experience. they are compelled
to state that occasionally better results
are obtained If q small reward is offered

the division, are now Offering induce

important effects of the American move

nerative profession for ambitious young

country have taken courses in this new
pursuit and have secured positions with
good salaries attached, one OF the newly
fedged experts having been sent TO the
Philippines by Uncle Sam.

not be better exemplified than by the
