the village was annexed to Chicago. printed the views on the sensitiZed cards and found that to all appear Iances I had as good a product as that put out by the big companies. The next step was to market my wares. I printed about a dozen of each of the three views and took them to the nearest drug store. where the drug gist had a few of the stock views of Chicago on exhibition. The druggist lagreed as a personal favor to me to put my cards up alongside his stock and to sell them if anybody cared to purchase. The agreement was that the cards should be sold at the customary lprice-5 cents each. of which l was to receive 3ls cents and the druggist IF lcents.
 That night the druggist sold two of lthe cards to residents of the neighbor- hood. The next day man who had returned to his birthplace in the vicin ity after an absence of 20 years bought one of each kind and mailed them on the spot. By the following day the cards were going like hot cakes and that night the first stock was exhaust ed It didn't take me long to replenish the offering and inside of two weeks my gross of cards was gone.
 After that I added more varieties of views in the neighborhood. and finally I extended my operations to other quarters of the city. In each new field followed the same plan. l took local views and put them on sale in the Ineighborhood drug or stationery stores;
 
 of which cared to handle my product on my terms I found that several hundred cards could be sold ia each new neighbOrhood as long as thc nov city lasted. After six montfS . = Ien- ture has netted me q profit O. nearly $50.

 My observation about the city shows that what am doing many others are doing. There are few quarters of the city today in which the local stores do not have on sale local cards put out by local amateurs, who have filled long felt want.

A RHYME IN PANAMErER.

A natives called Panaman Near our new bought canal; A Panama his mother is, His dogs a Panimal. Philosophers at Darien (Perhaps I'm eulogistic And yet 'tis accurate) are called Most truly Panamystic. This leads me on once more to guess That I am right in this, That every girl in Colon found Is called a Panamiss. Now. should a son of Erins isle Go down to swing a pick. Iris ten to one that all the while He'd be a Panamick. or if on railroads he is bent, Whene'er he drives a spike. The section boss will shout at him Lay on, you Panamike." And reasoning thus. we see 'tis true tOf names there is no lack) That Scotchman. when on isthmus

The other chaps in Colon town Just raised a Panamuss. When Wallace longing to get rich. For home became a starter. He felt when Taft had jumped on him. Just like a Panamartyr.

POLICE INCLINED
TO DOUBT STORY
Find Ladder and Fire Escape Have
Not Been Disturbed, Though
Robbers Are Supposed to
Have Used Them

The police have investigated the story
told by the watchman of the Lissner
building, 525 South Spring street, ard
say there are certain circumstances sur
rounding the alleged attempt at holdup
and robbery that will not hold water.
Whether the watchman was attacked
and fought off, with superhuman
strength, two desperate men, intent up
on securing everything of large and
small value in sight, is question in the
minds of the police yet to he settled to
their satisfaction.
Officers yesterday went to the Lissner
building and made an examination Of
the fire escape on which the would-be rob-
bers were said to have gained entrance
and by which they were reported to have
departed from the place. Going to the
fire escape landing on the floor, from
which the men are said to have entered
the building, the police discovered that
the accumulated dust of weeks had been
undisturbed. This startled them; for, be-
cause of the recent shrewd work of
thieves they were prepared for any
scheme robbers might adopt in order to
carry on their work.
They were still more surprised when
an investigation showed no dust had been
disturbed on the iron rungs of the fire
escape ladder, and the ground beneath
had remained apparently untouched by
human feet.
1--WE cannot account for the story of
this attempt at robbery" said an onicer
Yesterday, but If it Is given out for the
purpose of securing notoriety, 1t cannot
be too strongly condemned, especially
under present conditions, when the re-
port of robbery or attempted robbery is
the bid for another of similar char
acter."

ger cars valued at $156000 We're "vacat-
ed," that is, sold tor what they would

In the figures dealing with freight cars
the increase of expenditure made neces-
sary by modern conditions of railroading
is even more strikingly shown. In one
year, 1906, nearly 5000 cars were with
drawn from service because they were too
light for profitable operation Repairs
of freight c.rs increased in cost from
$2,3SO,4l0 in 1902 to $3,S75,956 in 1907. The
value of freight cars withdrawn from
freight service averages s732 12S for each
of the six years covered by the comptrol-
ler's' figures.
These outlays for repairs and the loss
charged off for obsolete equipment are
