A tumble Uncle Josh.

Copyright 1907, by c. H. sutcliffe.]
Uncle Josh Williams had lived in and
around Rawsonville for fifteen years
before opening the Williams private
bank. Uriah Heep was humble be-
cause he was hypocrite and had an
object in view. Uncle Josh was hum
BILE by nature. He was humble and
trusting and honest and sympathetic.
how such man could get along finan-
cially was wonder to everybody, but
somehow he slowly got ahead Of the
game and finally announced that he
would open bank. There was no
flourish about the announcement. 1t
was in keeping with his record-very
hum BILE. He admitted that he knew
nothing whatever about the banking
business, but would open bank more
for the accommodation of his neighbors
than anything else. 1t was predicted
that he would be made the victim of
all sorts Of gum games and that he
would lose his last dollar within year.
Workmen prepared a building, and
the bank was opened. It was presided
over by Uncle Josh.
The first attempt on the bank was
with a forged check. Uncle Josh said
he was sorry-very sorry. He wanted
to oblige, you know-he'd get up at
midnight to oblige-but really, now,
he couldn't see his way clear In this
thing. Would the stranger call again
Would the stranger go home to a boil
ed dinner with him? Would the stran.
ger ride out to his farm with him and
give his opinion on how the grass crop
was coming on?
Then there came man with lot
Of mining londs who wanted to put
them up as collateral for a loan. They
were quoted at 80 and almost thu
same as governments. Uncle Josh
looked them over and, although he had
no daily paper to refer to, he placed
the true value at cents pound and
stuck to lt-stuck to it in his humble
way. he was real sorry-as sorry as
If the stranger had fallen of the roof
Of barn and broken a leg. He
thought all mining bonds ought to be
worth at least 10 cents a pound, but
he couldn't help it If they dropped to 4

and Uncle Josh would 60 along and
point out the moss grown points OF
interest.
Then there came a man with q peck.
ct full Of snuff. He had piped of thu
bank and discovered that Uncle Josh
was there alone from II to while thu
nephew went to dinner. He called
to see about loan. He got Uncle
Josh interested. He got close to him
He out with a handful Of SNUFF to
throw into the old mans eyes and
blind him and then rob the bank, but
somehow the snuff went wrong. Thel
something hit him, and he lay down

en- out Of him. Uncle Josh refused to
let him be taken to Jail. he was sorry
for him-truly sorry.
The people who had taken Urcle
Josh for an easy mark because he was
humble soon began to realize that
there was difference. He had shown
that he could take care of any money
1nrusted to him, and the institution
began to flourish. It got through it,
first year without the loss Of a penny,
and some folks were very much disep
pointed about it. One Of these disap
pointed was tough citizen Of the
county named William Hayes. Will
liam, who was generally called Bill to
distinguish him from William the Con-
queror, had read the lives Of the
James and Younger brothers and other
similar literature and longed to dis.
dnguish himself.
He kept an eye on the Williams
bank. He thought it a sin and a
shame for humble and innocent old
dozer like Uncle Josh to open a bank
and tempt the wicked, and he finally
decided to remove the temptation and
benefit by it himself. He would thus
kill two birds with one stone. He con
suited with other philanthropists Of his
1lk, and at noon Of one September day
as confederate was in the bank talk.
Ing with Uncle Josh five whooping,
disguised men rode into Rawsonville
on horseback and made for the bank.
Uncle Josh was humble man with
good ears on him. He heard the
whoops and the clatter. He was talk
Ing about taking a mortgage on
farm, and without breaking the con-
versation he touched an electric but
ton, and the door of the vault closed.
Then as the five riders came rushing
Into the bank he touched another, and
the outside door closed after them.
There was third button. BE pressed
that and went down out of sight with
q section of the floor. He was sorry to
leave the six men there, very sorry,
but it was his time to go. II they
could find it convenient to call some
other time he might not be 80 pressed.
They talk Of it yet in that part of
Illinois. There were six desperadoes
safely Gagged in the bank, and Uncle
Josh reached the street through the
cellar. Windows were barred and
doors locked, and armed citizens gath
cred to prevent any escape. For thirty
hours Bill Hayes and his gang held
the town at bay, and for thirty hours
the town held them. Then q military
company came down on a special train,
and after an hours firing the gang sur
rendered. They made Uncle Josh feel
real bad with their remarks. They
said they had taken him for a humble.
gufleless man and he had been an old
fox In ambush. Uncle Josh did bust
ness for many years after that, and,
though all people called him a humble
man, no one called him q fool.

The Wrangell Chamber of Com merce now has an opportunity of working for a matter which is of much importance to Wrangell and the West Coast. It is assured that a wireless telegraph station is to be established here in the near future, and if proper and united effort were put forth, We believe the govern ment could be prevailed upon to establish one or two stations on the west coast. Such a move on the governments part would relieve a condition which has heretofore ex- isted, and would be of mutual ben eft to both sections.

When the boycott against this paper was instituted, it was claimed by some of the promoters of the boycott that THE PEOPLE would not stand for the manner in which the paper dealt with matters of public concern. But We find that THE PEOPLE comprises not only the pro- moters of the boycott, but great majority of the citizens of the com munity and section. That this is true is proven by the sentiment ex- pressed by our subscribers. Some of these subscribers are sufficiently loyal to the paper to cause them to do their trading at the places of business whose ads. appear in the paper; and we know of one party who last week bought over hun dred dollars worth of goods from place of business which did not enter the boycott, which amount would have gone to another place had the boycott not occurred. This goes to show that THE PEOPLE favor the paper, and that those who went into that collusion "cut of their noses to spite their faces" :" We do not say this by way of ridi- culing or gloating over any person, for we feel that it is justice to say that the men who entered the boy
 colt did so without stopping to think what odium such a course would cast upon the community's business ci,cles. Had the paper made statement that would have damaged the business or society in- terests of the town or section, such boycott would have been justified. But the fact that the papers effort has been toward the improvement of those interests, is all the more reason why the business men ought to have stood behind the paper and said "Well done, good and faithful servant" rather than to withdraw their support in an effort to drive out the most important factor in the development of the section.
