BORDERING ON THE UNKIND
Comment Of Old Salt That Took Con-
siderable Starch Out Of
City Man.

The city man on his vacation at
the seafaring village down east well
coined the rain one day because now
he could appear in that suit of yellow
oilskins with the saucy, salty SOU
wester.
Thus attired, and with pipe slowed
in his jaw he staggered down the
beach. He approached retired cap
tain of the old American merchant
marine "a real oldtimes, who eyed
him amusedly. The city man in the
oilskin disguise felt conscious of the
seafaring mans scrutiny. and laugh
ingly gave himself hitch, looked
allow and aloft, spat to leeward and
pulled an imaginary forelock.
The old shellback looked him over
carefully again, but never cracked a
smile. But after long silence. as If
he had thought over the matter quite
thoroughly, he turned to the city man,
took the pipe from his mouth, and
said:

Colleges and Newspapers.

The heads of two large institutions
Of learning-Woodrow Wilson. presi'
dent Of Princeton university. and II
P. Judson, president of the University
of Chicago-have lately made public
some views on colleges and newspa'
pers that deserve notice. the latter
especially expressing high opinion
of newspapers, the work of which. he
says, is as useful as that of the col
leges. This is quite true and quite
as important as it is true, for the
newspapers reach and instruct in
many ways vast numbers Of persons
of both sexes. to whom the college, or
even the high school education. has
been denied. The two articles fit to-
gether in a sense, although President
Wilson makes his statement In order
to deplore the present tendency of the
life and discipline of the college to
become a process of information. In
stead of what they are meant to be
a process of preparation. Now the
work of the newspaper is distinctly
one of information, and that work Is
performed day in and day out. with

But he didn't stop to consider how
prices have gone up since Franklin's

IN THE CITY COURT

Ward Abbott was fined s7 and costs in the city court this morning on a charge of having stolen half ham at the Public Market Saturday night. Jesse Ludwig, clerk intercepted Ab- bolt as he was on the way to the State street door with the ham in his possess sion. Abbott said he was taking the meat to the wrapping counter and that he had no intention of stealing 1t. His appearance bore out his statement but Judge Pullman evidently did not believe his story for he found Abbott guilty.
 Andrew Ansolite visited his relative John Patterson at 726 Pembroke street Saturday night Andrew was drunk and abusive and created disturbance. He refused to leave when requested and put up fight.

CLOSE BANK TO PROTECT
 ITS DEPOSITORS
Greenfield, Mass, Savings Institution Suspends Bus mess on Order of Court.
Special from United Press,

Special from United Press.l
 Greenfield, Mass, Feb. 1.-Pierre Jay Massachusetts state bank inspector today closed the Greenfield Savings 100000. No reason is yet definitely known but it is said bad real estate transactions have involved the bank.
 Crowds gathered in the street in front of the bank to read the notice of suspension. As in all savings banks, most of the depositors are poor, many of them women. Following the post ing of the notice President Robert Abercrombie, gave out the following statement to the public:
 '1 urgently advise all depositors of the Greenfield Savings Bank not to dispose of their deposit books at discount because after short suspen- not be over two or three years the bank will open again and resume bus- mess. Those who then desire to dis pose of their books may do so at .heir full present value. (Signed) Robert Abercrombie, President
 The closing down of the bank was the direct result of action taken to- day in the Supreme court in Boston. Justice Sheldon of that court issued a temporary injunction restraining the bank from doing business on the grounds that it would be hazardous for the depositors for the bank to keep on receiving deposits. Bank Commission CT Jay asked for the injunction. He told the court that he had found that the assets of the bank could not be readily realized upon.
 The Greenfield Savings Bank opened for business and was incorporated March 19. 1869. Robert Abercrombie is president and William F. Aiken, brother of Chief Justice of the Massa- chusetts Superior Court is treasurer.
