 He said that friend who lived in the country had been to see him.
 "'The country is all right in the summer, Thomas admitted, but in the fall and winter don't you find it dull?'
 "'Dull?' said the other No, in. deed. Why, out our way some motor car or other gets stuck in the mud every night"

Capture Bandits and Recover Loot.

The bandits who robbed the Bank of Rocky Comfort, Mo, early Satur- day morning of $3,200 are reported captured and the money recovered.
 Justice of the Peace Swope arrived Saturday at Eureka Springs and stated he captured two men at Beaver, hold ing them up with a double barreled shotgun as they approached the Beav- CT depot, walking on the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad track.
 Armd men concealed at the depot went to Swope's aid and took from the prisoners three guns, 300 car tridges and several compact packages of currency, which had been con- pressed after soaking The process of unrolling the bills without mutilating them was slow and difficult, but at last accounts more than $3.000 had been unrolled. The prisoners, who are held at Beaver for Rocky Comfort officers, refused to give their names. They are well dressed men and each is about 30 years of age

A FLOOD OF CASH |PR|CES ADVANCED
Rolling Into New York Calculated to
Facilitate Establishment OF
Trust Company Reserves.

New York, Jan. 27.--Prices rose
hriskly In today's stock market In the
face OF several happenings that had
been dreaded by the speculative ele-
ment for some time, thus presenting
one of the apparent contradictions
which confuse observation of the
| course of speculative markets. An
influence in strengthening confidence
In the banking situation as "a whole
Is the prospect that by next week the
condition OF the trust companies and
state banks in New York will be the
subject of the weekly statement to
the state banking department and
thus remove once for all the obscurity
and uncertainty which have sur
rounded the actual financial position
In New York, by reason of the grow
irg inadequacy of the lcearng house
bank statement to reflect fully the
conditions as a whole,
The food of cash now flowing into
New York will also facilitate the es-
tablishment of reserves of trust COM
panies which are contemplated in
bringing those institutions into line
with general banking requirements.

treasury operations showed deposits

mum amount of deposits after the

These two movements tend to take
up the slack in money supplies and
to avert the outward movement OF

notes operates in the same direction.

have reached $31 ,931 ,001, and

Why Flies Walk vpsIds Down.

DO you know that q fiy's feet are.
for the moment glued " the spot on
which they rest n.
That ID why . fly can perform the
seemingly impossible task Of walking
upside down.
II you ever have chance look u
q tly's foot through u microscope, and
you will see that II consists OF two
fiat pads. like soles. placed side by
side. and covered with q multitude
OF bristles or hairs. II is these hairs
which in reality furnish the fly with
the means OF walking firmly and OF
standing upside down without falling.
Each pad, it Is estimated, contains
no less than twelve hundred hairs.
Above the pad lies a sac or bag Of
some sticky fluid, like glue. and this
glue. running down through the hol-
lo& bristles fastens the whole foot to
anything on which the fly settles.
The liquid hardens when exposed to
the air, but remains wet as long as
the air is kept from it by the pads.
The fly therefore, need not wrench
his foot from the ground with any
degree OF violence, yet some force. as
well as skill, is necessary.
II he were to attempt pulling them
straight up, probably he would dislo-
cate all his delicate joints, or even
leave his legs behind him. So he al
ways lifts them sideways. and the
rows Of bristles are detached one ut
a time.
The fly is further furnished with a.
pair Of sharp claws or hooks. with
which he clings to rough surfaces,
where his sticky hairs would be al.
most useless s4
These are just above the pads
Those specks which fly leaves ON
q clean surface are his footsteps. SO
10 speak. They are really dried glue.
