 WW YHEN Colonel Ransome was WI held up by a footpad in the w suburbs New Years night he quietly handed over $3( in cash and said:
 My friend. 1 make no kick have the reputation of being a good fellow and of having ready money. On this blessed New Years day l counted UT ten notes l had indorsed for friends within twelvemonth past, had each and every one to pay. In addi tion l had list of twenty-two men who borrowed from $5 to $2O and for. got to pay 1t back. l had fully made up my mind it was cheaper and bet ter for me to be held up on the high. way"
 There's something in that" unused the footpad as he fingered.
 "More than you see at first glance. Not only would it be cheaper. but it would save my circle of friends. By lending and indorsing I lost score of them last year. It is also more sat isfactory in another way. What a rob Der robs me of is gone, and I don't worry over it. What I lend I must wonder if I will ever get back You have no feeling against me because you have robbed me, eh?"
 "None, sir. unless it be feeling of respect and gratitude
 That's it. Now, then, had you bor- rowed $15 of me and neglected to re- turn 1t you would not only drop out of my list of friends, but you would go around with a feeling that had actu- ally wronged you"
 "I see. You either return a loan and are grateful or you beat the man out of 1t and dislike him because you have Wronged him. I've been right there in a dozen instances"
 "And now about the highway rob ber," continued the colonel as he of fered the man a cigar and light. "You may wonder that I don't warn you to reform. There are several req sons for my action. In the first place, you are giving the public a squarer deal than the so called friend who bor- rows your cash or wants to use your name. He is hypocrite. prevaricator and general beat; you are only rob- ber.
 ''In the second place, you can only get what little money a man happens to have in his pocket. and you ask for no outside favors. In the third place, the man who reforms is more danger ous than he was before. had a clerk who stole $5 and reformed, and the first thing I knew he got away with $50.
 That's about all, my friend. So long. as you rob people in fairly good English and without unnecessary vio- lence you are something of novelty and good deal of a bOOu."

The Press., 1908-01-01

If cough once gets into your system it acts on every muscle and fiber of the body and makes you ache all oyer. It especially affects the intestines and makes you constipated. so in order to get rid of a cold thoroughly and without delay you should not take anything that will tend to constipate. Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup acts upon the bowels and thereby drives the cold out of the system. It contains no opiates-it is pleasant to take and is highly recommended for children.
