of the river. The man was locked up.
Further developments showed that he
was much wanted man-wanted by
the East Side police and also wanted
very badly by Skaren & Olson, the
East Side drink dispensers, for hav-
ing quietly and with evil intentions
appropriated the sum of $6675 from
the till while the barkeep was dream

been working in the harvest fields
near St. Thomas, and according to his
story to an Evening Times representa-

last night enroute to the woods. He
hung around Skaren & Olson's saloon
a goodly portion of the night until
Mr.. Barkeep closed his eyes and then
did the tapping and struck for the
back door. About that time the
guardian awakened and struck out
after both the negro and the money
He Immediately informed the East
Side police and they in turn communi-

He consented to go across the river

RELATED or PURITAN BOYS
Youngsters He.s - ld.schievous in
Meeting House "PuesN Had
to Be Built.

II appears in various quarters that
the Puritan fathers had troubles OF
their own In the book entitled He
reditary and Early Environment OF
John Williams. the author says that
in RoXbury Mass, in its early settles
ment, as everywhere, boys were prone
20 mischief, and special rules were
made for their benefit
In 1868. when the meeting house was
epaired. the new galleries were set
side as seats for the boys OF the con-
sregation. Here this element could
)e herded under the eve and rod OF the
ithing-man and within earshot Of the
preacher With all this, however
trouble was brewing.
Before long several people COM
planned that they could not sit in the
meeting house to their edihcation by
reason of the disturbance the boys
made in the galleries" This COM
plant reached the town meeting; and
the seectmen were directed TO con-
suit with the elders about removing
the boys, and coping them mp in some
place to be built expressly for this
purpose, OF doing anything to rem
edy this evil"
Exactly what steps were taken to
remove the boys and the evil so grave
ly confronting the town is not known,
but when John Williams was eight
years old a new Westinghouse Vas
built In this structure provision was
made for the boys ON some part of the
main floor Some years later a vote
was passed for "pueing the meeting
house and the people were given
liberty to build pues round the
Westinghouse, except where the boys
do sit"
BY this action II appears that the
boy question had been satisfactorily
solved by corralling that element IN
some nook which was now entrenched
against the invasion of pews.

PHILADELPHIA. II ,.."=

Copyright 1905 by Seymour Btoan. All rights reserved
The Bears went out to country place
To see machine take it's trial race;
Invented by a New Jersey man :.
And made to fly on novel plan.
This trial trip was. to prove that day
That machines that fly have come to stay.
When the hour arrived to cut the cord
There wasn't man who would go aboard.
The Bears said they would make the trip.
And every racing record whip
If they only knew how to steer the ship.

In an old balloon and mobile car,
But this ride that day beat those by far.
They went over town and farm and creek
In one straight line like lightning streak
And it WASH t forty minutes when
They came in sight Of William Penn
Looking so wise and straight and tall
On the top Of Philadelphia's city hall.
TEDDY-B called out from where he sat, 4
"There's man ahead; I:see his hat; 4
His hand is out; he means to try
To catch the rope as we go by
And TEDDY-G in cowboy style -
Let out the rope, nearly half mile,
And as*it coiled be-, pulled with might
And Niilliam: Penn@he lassoed tight -
a crowd Of children down below
Looked up and saw the Bears let 60
And come from the clouds like sailors bold =
With not "a thing but the rope to hold
And land all right on the old mans hat
Where both sat down to have chat ~ -
And look about: and view the town
And ask each other how they'd get down. ::
They, looked over the brim to see Penn 3 face
And ask him question about the place: -
What;Would happen they should faH2s
And how long III took to build the haH? 5
And what it cost andR he thought It nice
To pay So muelhl Cor sexpert advice IN.
And one I'll thing srlre they'd like itos knoW
Why this Quaker town was considered slow?
A crowd soon gathered round the squares !.
Police and engineers were there, !. ! .8ils:5f /
And business men and children too, y & . II
And each one wondering what to dot
For how to get the two Bears down u
Was soon being asked by half the town. /,
The mayor came out with megaphone
And called aloud up the tower Of stone
And promised Father Penn dime
IF he ID give the Bears high old time.
Not very far from. where they sat
A door was opened in the Quaker hat
And a man put out his head to say
That the Roosevelt Bears could come that way
But the door was small and it wouldn It do
For neither Bear could be crowded thru.
Said TEDDY-B, eco to the street Il.
And bring rope six hundred feet fje
And William here will hold one end ~ @ I.
While we to the square below descend
This plan was tried and in half an hour
The Bears had landed from the tower
And had shaken hands right then and there

With every child around the square.
From there they went, the papers say,
To. Broad street bank to draw their pay,
Or to cash check which TEDDY-G
Had got in New York as their circus fee.
When they asked for money the4man inside
Said, "You'l have to be identified
Perhaps your names are what you say,
But prove it you must some other way.''
'sIs that check, goodq' said TEDDY B,
3'Well if it is, TIL let you see
That G is he and B is me-
But before he had time to act the bear
The check was taken and the cash was there.
TO shop they went on Chestnut street
And dressed up new from head to feet ...
AND got the bill and paid the fee
And started out the town to see. :.-.
