WATCHMEN GUARD INFANT
kidnappers Have No Chance to Get
Walsh Heir.

- Walsh Heir.
Bar Harbor, Me-, June 27.-Fearful
Of some attempt to kidnap the six
mOnths-old heir of the houses Of Nc.
Lean and Walsh precautions have
been taken this summer at the Briars,
the summer home of Edward B. Nc.
Lean, that would be worthy of young
prince.
Just before the McLeans came to
their newly acquired country home
this spring rumors reached them that
an attempt to kidnap the baby, who
Is heir to many millions of dollars,
would be made and the country es-
tate at the seashore offered tempting
opportunities for such scheme
The possibility that some attempt
might be made on the boy led the
parents on arriving at Bar Harbor to
engage force of special police. Two
stalwart watchmen are constantly en-
ployed day and night guarding the
safety of the boy and the movements
of all who linger near the cottage are
carefully watched.

THE DISAPPOINTMENT

Harold's through with college
Fathers disappointed;
Harold's filled with knowledge
Brain is double-jointed
But that's not the oldest
Features of our Harold:
He is very modest,
Quietly .appareled.
Fathers vexed completely
He was fairly yearning
To deliver sweetly IS
Some remarks on learning.
He expected Harold ,.
TO come homeward bringing
Books of songs he'd caroled,
Thinking, he was singing. III
He expected also
Harold would be yelling
Things the students bawl so
Which defy all spelling
Harold's big diploma
Simply threw his father
In a state of coma
Causing lots of bother.
Father had some roasting
Ready to deliver
To stop Harold's Boosting
And to make him SILVER
Sentences sarcastic
Would his thoughts bespoken
In a manner drastic:
They remain unspoken.
Harolds through with college,
House is in pother;
He's come back with knowledge
More than that of father.
Still he's very modest;
You would scarcely know it,
For, you see, the oldest
Thing is he don't show it.

BY THE WAY

If there is anything longer than
the time that bothered the Carolina
governors, it is the distance between
instalments in continued story.
When man never hurries nor
worries it is a sign he holds an ap-
pointive office.
If you make more than one real
friend in life time it is sign you
have had a remarkable luck. :
Don't grow sentimental as you
grow old unless you want to become
subject of either scorn or derision.
