HELLO BOYS UP
WITH RAz0RS

Here is something strictly new
for holdup men. Usually the Robin
Hood gentry use horse pistols or
bludgeons while occupied at their
chosen profession Of sticking up un
sophisticated natives. But the very
latest weapons of intimidation are
razors. One James Mcbride and
one H. A. Metz have a copyright
of the new highway tools. 1t is
claimed by the police that on Sa-
turday night these two met Frank
Hawkenberry and Ledger Neal,
small boys who ratified some
change, in the alley in rear of the
Occur d'Alene theater, within
stones throw of police headquar-
tiers.
The boys say they were walking
through the alley when they met
the men. who promptly drew these
tonsorial cutlasses and demanded
money or blood. Neal lodged and
hit for headquarters, where he in
formed Patrolman Phelan. BY the
time he reached the alley there
was Metz and Mcbride putting dis
lance between themselves and the
scene. of the attempted holdup.
Metz was the neeter of the two, but
the officer ran him down within
about six blocks and hailed him to
Jail.
Mcbride made his getaway tenn
porarily, but Sunday afternoon the
two boys saw him quietly feeding
upon carrots from the rear of a
Chinese vegetable mans cart. They
pointed him out to Patrolman
"Bill' Shannon, who took him in
tow.
They will be taken before JUS
tice Sam Hyde this afternoon.

he kissed goodbye under the peach
trees in the orchard.
Always and forever there is the
same specious tale of mana
marriage-money-a letter--a Jour-
ney, all coming soon"
A sure cure for anyone afflicted
with a curiosity concerning the flu
ture is to send them on tour OF
the fortune telling shops.
After 10 or IL fortunes" as like
each other as two twin peas the
dullest person begins to get wise.
1t makes no difference whether
Madam" read your palm, throws
the cards, peers into a ,chrystal or
goes into a trance, you hear the
same old "patter' that every for
tune teller and medium" learns
before she insert an "ad' in the
Sunday papers.
She may fall down on the number
of children or the exact date OF
your first husbands death because
those things can't be learned by
rote, but the real basis of your
fortune" is kept in stock and dealt
out to each and all alike.

Special Correspondence to The Press
PARIS, KY, Aug. 17.-Wouldn't
you say that such pretty, laugh
ing, cooling, lively youngster as this
should have all that life holds for
a baby?
OF course you would.
One glance at the rosy cheeks,
the blue eyes all aglow with love
and laughter, the CLINT of gold in
the straying silken hair Just put
ting forth, and the face that seems
a replica of an old-time daguerreo
type, and you would stop for an
other longer look.
You would be won on the spot
just as was every holder of tick
ct when the youngster was ratified
of the other day.
And you would be just as glad as
was every loser when you learned
that the fortunate ticket holder
was a man of wealth and position,
childless, and just tickled to death
to take baby and give him every
advantage that fortune brings.
Baby was ratified off by E. N.
jackson, a Cincinnati moving pic
ture show man. Jackson explained
that it's parents, whom he would
not name. were too poor to care for
it. Womens clubs were shocked
and made valiant protest for a
time.
r, But baby's smile won them. His
laugh melted the opposition. The
clasp of his wax-like fingers and
loving little arms We're irresistible.
They voted, as you would have
done, that the baby was entitled to
a home and all that tender care
means to tiny little people.
:. Yet there was much suspense I'M
til the drawing came off. Jackson
for two weeks gave ticket to each
patron of his show. And therein lay
the danger for baby. Therein lay
the chief concern of the women's
clubs.
r. For baby. after all, might not fall
into the most desirable hands.
But the fates were kind.
Judge Harmon Stitt, wealthy
Kentuckian, who has one of the
most beautiful homes in Paris, a
summer home along the Hudson
and winter home in Florida, held
the ticket that drew baby.
The judge was childless and he
shouted in glee when informed that
ne was the fortunate one.
And when he bore baby away in
triumph, with the little arms cling
ing about his neck and the baby
cooling in his ear, the judge was
the happiest man in all Kentucky.
And baby; well. there may be
babies that have better prospects,
more beautiful homes and more ten
der care, but 1t would take lots of
hunting to find them.

CAP TAIN HELD
FOR MURDER

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, Aug
17.-Capt. Peter C. Haines jr. will
be arraigned today on the charge
of numbering William Annis at Bay
side Saturday night. The captain
will plead not guilty to the charge,
on the defense that his act was
justified by Annis betrayal of Mrs.
Haines. Both Capt Haines and his
brother Thornton, who kept the
crowd back with a revolver while
Capt. Haines killed Annis, are in
Jail here. They were handcuffed
while being brought to this city.
Capt. Haines emptied his revol-
yer into Annis Saturday evening in
the presence of throng of fashion
able women and wealthy yachts
men of New York. Annis was land
ing at the float when Haines, ac-
companied by his brother stepped
forward and opened fire. Five bull
lets struck Annis and he died soon
after.
Thornton Haines, with drawn re-
vOlver prevented any interference
until his brother had finished firing
Annis. was clad in his bathing
suit when the firing began. His
wife shouted a warning as soon as
she saw the Iaines brothers, but
Annis had no opportunity to defend
himself. He tried to step onto the
float after being shot, but fell into
the bay. There he swan enough
to get within reach of friend and
when pulled out told Capt. Haines
that he had made horrible mis-
take. Haines replied that he did
not believe so, and Annis then call
ed him coward. The Haines
brothers surrendered themselves
when the police appeared. Haines
made no comment other than to say
that he had done his duty.
The shooting grew out of Annis
alleged intimacy with Mrs. Haines
while Haines was in the Philip
pines. 1t is stated that Mrs
Haines confessed that Annis was
the father of a child by her, but
Mrs. Haines denies this. The
couple were separated and Mrs.
Haines sued for divorce. She
eloped with Haines when II years
old.
Annis was advertising manager
of Recreation and Burr Mcintosh S
monthly. He leaves wife and
family.

Lady, there is dark-haired
woman about to cross your path
has your husband any dark-haired
lady friends?"
The glib, and usually greasy, for
tune teller plants this suspicion in
the jealous womans mind, and, hav-
ing started enough trouble to bring
her back again, pockets her fee
and smiles.
She knows human nature and
she's an expert on feminine foibles.
By this knowledge she gains her
living
There are hundreds of young girls
who squander their hard-earned
wages or the liberal allowance
made by doting fathers on the
seer" For these | can only rec
ommend a nice, wide shingle weld
ed by an experienced hand.
By virtue Of their more intense
emotional nature and their need OF
love women fall easy victims to the
fortune telling game.
The woman whose suspicious ma
ture drives her to consult Nine.
Vashti, revealer of the future at so
cents a throw, does not deserve
much sympathy. She gets what she
pays fora good excuse for further
suspicious.
But there is a tragic side to this
fake mysticism. Servant girls, scrub
women and hosts of poor people
seek the advice of these human
cutie fish before investing their
small savings; silly girls unable to
Judge for themselves marry or re-
ject men at the word of command.
And all on random advice that the
next door neighbor could have
given just as well.
Mingling with romantic 16 and
suspicious middle age in the fortune
teller's dingy parlor are unmarried
women verging on the early fortles
You can read the pitiful story OF
hopes deferred and matrimonial
ambitions blighted in the tiny lines
about their eyes and the silver
hairs just beginning to show III
their carefully arranged tresses.
On these women the fortune tell
er wakes fat and prosperous. she
traffics in their love of life, and
having exhausted her own fertility
| inventing fairy tales, she passes
them on to a sister in the "profes
sion" who dopes out new vision
of a eight man" returning from
foreign parts" with bursting bags
of bullion to marry the sweetheart
