The Proper Thing to Do When Intro
duced to "a HOIdup.
A man who carries his money and
his watch in his left hand will never
lose penny nor timepiece in a hold
up. Inc precautiOn, which is a per
rect one, is so simple that few peODle
nave thought of it, Yet it has tbe
sanction of the police. and its efficacy
mas been proved in more than one in
---.--~- O.
AS soon as the citizen is confronted
by the holdup man he win. if he has
his money and his watch in his hand
throw them on the nearest lawn or
into the ditch. No highway robber has
ume enough to stop to look for either.
Ihere Is no sense in carrying valuables
IN the right hand, because the first
move of every accomplished holdup
man IS to grab his victim by the right
arm. This movement is made TO nre.
vent the victim from reaching for n
revolver
The man who tries to draw re-
Volver while holdup man is in front
OF him takes his life in his hands. IF
a citizen carries a revolver at all he
should carry it in his right hand while
IN dangerous street. His money and
ms watch should always be in his left
Then after he has thrown them away
and the robber has departed discom-
nted the victim can take his time about
finding his property.
This simple plan discounts all the re-
Volvers' sword canes. slungshots and
Drass knuckles ever invented and has
the added beauty that it can be en-
ployed by woman as well as by
man. To throw the purse or the watch
away takes but a fraction of a second
and that isn't long.-Chicago Tribune

The credit for it belongs to Mrs. Julia Lount who not only made it possible but was thoughtful enough to improve the opportunity.

WORTH OF A PULL.
An Admission of the Value of inflr
 ence in Business.

A pull" is thing seldom confessed. Men who record their own rise are not likely to avow any aid outside their own merit. Merit counts and always must count as a sine qua non. But when there are two fellows of equal merit. and one promotion. there is al ways some margin by which one IS more accepta ble to those in authority This margin may be only personal manner and address; or it may be wide acquaintanceship which can be helpful to the business, CT it may be money which he can invest in the business o" wealth which he can influence; or 1t may be family and social strength: whatever it is, it is this margin that counts at the crisis when the choice is to be made; it is the everlasting law that ito him that hath shall be given,
