bbsrs attack Woman.

A bold attempt at highway robbery oc-
CURED last Saturday night near 4. j,
in the lower section of Prince Georges
county. Mrs. Sherman, who resides
Just over the border line in Charles
county, was returning from Washington
market via T. B., and it is assumed that
the would-be robbers knew that she
would carry the receipts. Mrs. Sherman
reached T. B. about midnight, when two
colored men emerged from the bushes
on the side Of the road and jumped into
her wagon. They grappled with Mrs.
Sherman endeavoring to secure her
money, but her calls for help reached
the ears of a number OF men who were
leaving the store at 7. B. They came to
her rescue and the robbers beat a hasty
retreat.
Mrs. Sherman declares that she rccog-
nized the men as Frank Boyd and John
Wallace, both coiored, who reside near
t. B. Today she had the men arrested.
They were brought before Justice Of the
Peace Squires, who released them in
$500 for their appearance at the Circuit
Court now in session. 1t is said that
the bond was furnished by prominent
merchant at I. B. and by an attorney
residing at Rrandywine. BALTIC. Ameri-

The regular meeting of the Directors
of the Southern Maryland National
Bank of La Plata, was held on Monday
last. The business Of the institution
was carefully scanned, the securitiesex-
aminedand approved and other business
Of the Bank transacted. The deposits
Of the Bank were 2Os 1890.
The taxes paid by the Bank to. the
County this year amounted to s29s So,
and it is strictly local financial institu-
ton, and yet it has not one dollar Of the
County's money on deposit.
The deposits since the meeting Of the
Board of Directors have increased to
s2i3 900 90. The moral is that small
politicians cannot impair the usefulness
and stability Of a well and business-like
conducted financial institution no matter
what they do.

ALL way FROM
WILTON TO BISMARCK

Beecher Malone. a 12-year-old boy.
living about fifteen miles northeast of
Wilton. was picked up In Bismarck last
week after he had walked that far on
his way to Lehigh. where he said he
was going to visit au aunt. Mrs. G.. a.
Malone.
The boy had started for school on Tues
day morning at 8 O'Clock and nothing
wat heard from him until his parents
were notified by telephone that he was
in the Capital City. His father arrived
on the north 500 Wednesday afternoon
and took his son home with him Thurs
day morning.
The boy had had nothing to eat from
the time that he left home until he was
found by a policeman. He slept in a
haystack Tuesday night, and it was a
fortunate thing for him that the night
was comparatively warm for this time
of the year or he would have undoubtedly
frozen to death.

The picked girls team Of basketball
players from the 9Th GRADE and one from
the Freshmen class Of the high school
played their first contest game last
Saturday morning at the high school
gymnasium. The 9Th grade quintet,
who challenged. the Freshmen. won the
Dame BY q score Of 7 to 4, and are now
looking for something faster for
opponents.
The younger team is made up of
Laverne Roquette and Dorothy Ayers,
forwards; Olive Arnett and Beth john
son, guards and Florence Jefferies,
center, and are called the Reds, They
are a lively bunch Of girls and were 1t
not for size they would stand a good
chance of winning from any team of
the high school girls.
The Freshmen team, or Stars. is made
up Of Sophie Jahr and Irene Church, for
wards, Margaret Berry and Frances
Nolan, guards. and Helen Jefferies

VOTES FOR WOMEN

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver de-
livered the principal address before the
Colorado State Federation of Women
Clubs at its recent annual meeting il
Canon City. His subject wal woman
Suffraee and the Beast and the large
auditorium at the First Presbyterian
Church. where the convention was held,
was filled to its capacity by men and
women eager to hear him. The Judge
declared his conviction that woman
suffrage was q strong force for good.
women are always opposed to the
evils that menace the nation or the
home," he said, ''and can be depended
on to eight valiantly for the right as
they understand it. Denver owe much
to the public spirit of the women of the
city. The city's Fairgrounds were made
possible by them, and their interest in
Denver's welfare is making it one Of
the most attractive and beautiful cities
in the land.
what the country needs is a quick
ened public conscience, which can be
brought about more quickly by the
women than anybody else. Juvenile
courts do not stop crime. but they assist
in lettering social conditions. Boys
and girls need justice instead of charity,
and the appeals of the women's clubs of
the country to. cooperate in an effort to
improve social conditions, and thereby
help Them to become better men and
women than their natural inclinations
lead them to be under the present
system, have done a vast amount Of
9ood."
