to their feet at the sound OF the re

A sharp fuslllade began between the
diners and their assailants. The lat

soon all the guests who had not been
killed or wounded were bound and
gagged. After stealing n large sum Of
money and some valuable jewelry the
robbers made off, but hardly had they

servants arrived and freed the gagged

In less than FIVE minutes the host

Twenty Bankers; Not One Printer.

The Ohio Penitentiary News, for
many years a famous and flourish
ing daily paper published by con-
victs, has suspended publication,
for the very good reason that there
is not left in that big penal institute
a single nan who can handle type.
There is not a printer in ne Ohio
Penltentiary.
Bankers are there in plenty. More
than 20 are there, and more are on
the way. Several convict banks
might be operated, with men to
spare.
Enough lawyers are there to take
care of an enormous amount of
legal business.
Doctors, brokers and other "emi-
nently respectable" citizens are not
lacking.
Business men, farmers, mechanics
and representatives Of almost every
other department of industrial
activity are common there.
But there is not one printer.
The fact throws new light on a
character hat has long been com
monty mijudged.
The printer today is a home
owner. He is of fixed employment
and is the head of a family.
He is-and always was-far
above the average man in informa
ton and intelligence. All the
notable events of human life pass
through his hands and make i'm
press on his BRAIN.
The fact that more than 20
bankers are in the Ohio PeritenIary,
and not n printer, tells OF The
relative honesty of the printer OF
today-and tells more.
1t tells us that the most common
and most dangerous crimes of to
day are being committed not DO the
worlds workers.
