to his room on the second floor He
carried the boy in his arms. For sew
eral minutes he was alone in the room
with his school boy son. Then thru
the door came these words, spoken by
the father to the boys mother on the
long distance telephone:
"Oh, mother, l have Willie here in
my arms. He is safe. Glory to God
mama, it is the happiest night of my
life"
Whitla received the newspaper men
later. Willie told his story as best
he could. 1t was not lucid story
in every way, but it was romantic
from his childish lips. He could not
remember every place he had been
but he gave an idea of his travels SO
that it will be possible for the police
to cover a part of the trail made by
the kidnapers.

The hospital, or whatever the building
was, was a clean place. There was
man there who think was doctor.

had whiskers, short gray whiskers.
"The people in the hospital told me
that 1 must do just what they told
me to do. If l did not obey them
they said they would take me to a
place called the pesthouse. where

BANKING Control.

Six banks in New York control the
stock market. They can elevate or de-
press prices at will. They can make
ready money one per cent. or 300 per
cent. They have no compunctions of
conscience, because thye have no con-
science. Here's bank with enormous
deposits. 1t pays no interest; but it's
president and directors speculate with
the money as if they owned it. Why
do people intrust their money to this
institution? What do they get out of
it? If the bank fails the depositors are
ruined.-N. Y. Press.

friend to write a letter for him to
his sweetheart. The letter was rath-
err prosaic for love letter, and he felt

heart for its lack of tender nothings.
1t was as follows:
"Please excuse the mildness of this
here letter, as the chap wot's 'ritin' it
is a married man, and he says he
carn't 'bide any soft soapings; it allus
gives him the spazzums."

hare?" he was asked. "Oh!" was the
calm reply, my gun kicked and
knocked me backward and I fell on
the hare as it ran past."-The Sketch.

NEbRASKAN ADVISED
TO CHANGE CLIMATE
Followed Instructions, but Promised Benefit
Failed to Materialize

When the climate of a particular
locality is designated as being health
full it does not necessarily follow that
all of its inhabitants are free from
sickness. They may be immune from
fevers of various kinds, catarrhal in
fections, etc, but there are certain
forms of illness with which climatic
conditions have nothing whatever to
do and which cannot be overcome by
change of residence from one part of
the country to another, the most not
able of which is stomach disorders.
The recent experience of l.. M.
Wolfe of Ruby, Mont, is a case in
point and will be of interest to those
persons in Los Angeles and vicinity
who are having trouble with their
stomach and digestive organs. Mr..
Wolfe says:
Il have had stomach trouble for the
past ten or twelve years. My diges-
ton was very bad and l could not eat
solid food without experiencing great
pain and discomfort afterward. | tried
