his employers. He was arrested and

time the shortage was discovered to Sc
cure aid for him and has not been heard
of since. Dowlin denied having appropri-
ated any of the firms money, but little

his employers. and just about the time
he was ready to leave they took steps to
have him held.

one year. having come here from Granite,
O. T., and his position with Butts Bros.
was The only work he did in Wichita.

to doubt his honesty crediting him with
being an able. conscientious. industrious
man.

ly induced several Of his friends and rela .
tives to advance the money to make good
the shortage. and when that was done
he was at liberty to go. which ne did
without loss OF time. leaving the city on
q night train.

A FAR-SEEING MAN.

When he reached home he drew roll of

to his wife
Better go shopping he said Get
some of those things that We thought we
couldn't afford.
Where did you get the money! she
asked.

Yes; had to do it. so wen have to

put on thrift and premium on shiftless-
ness The man who saves has to pay him
self for time lost at the order OF the I'M
ion, and the man who doesn't save gets
the help. In a year from now our money
will be gone anyhow. so We might AS
well spend it while We can get some per-
sonal advantage out of it. and then come
in on even terms with the others for the
strike benefits. It's the fellow who has
MT anything and never expects to have
anything who gets the advantage Take
