knife that formerly cost 81 can now
be obtained for 81. Whistles that used
to cost % cents can be bought for
10 cents. While these articles can be
ordered from the national headquar-

SAFE FELL APART:
$3.50 DISCOVERED

A safe on its way from an obscure
town in Louisiana to Hamilton, Ohio,
was badly wrecked while waiting for
it's transfer at the Pennsylvania Lines
freight house yesterday. The safe was
in poor condition, and was being sent
back to the makers for overhauling.
When the door, in some manner, fell
open, several papers of value, and
$460 in money were dumped out on
the railroad platform, where it stood
all Saturday night.
The safe evidenced much hard wear,
and was badly rusted. The owners had
hoped to see the big iron box safe to
it's destination, and the accident came
apparently without warning. Owing to
the condition of the safe, not much
surprise was felt at the unusual oc-
currence of having it fall to pieces.
The freight Office people considered it
lucky that all the money and papers
were rescued without loss or damage.
