She refused to take it. and just then he felt heavy hand fall on his shoulder. He looked around and there was another woman reaching for the rocketbook and a policeman was hust- ling him into a patrol wagon before ne knew what had happened. He finally found out that he was arrested for snatching the woman's pocketbook and running. Tn vain he tried to tell who he was and to send 8 message 10 his father. He received no answer from his father other than to get out the best way he could" Diogenes with all his wisdom was not able to get him out His friends called him a knock CT and told him that at last he E IS safe where he couldn't knock the town and cause harm to befaH the cth- CTS and he was forced to stay h !au and served his time

He finally won his | release. a sacder and wiser man DiogeDes in the meantime had some 1 bad luck also. When he reached home one night he found that the !

This enra-cd \ the old man so much that he gave his | lantern to the city council and E. parted for distant lands.

That certainly is a boosting spir- it. said one oi them in disgust.
 Yes. said another. that is pretty bad If everyone talked that way. things would go to the bad sure enough. It's a wonder that people cant brace up around here ana boost a little. Thank goodness there are only a couple like him in town. though"

There .is no confidence among the people. We nave lne prospects with every thing coming in here and just a con- pie of fellows such as he, make us all lose by their talk"
 Sweetheart Cuts Him
 The young man thought that he would go and see his sweetheart ana ask her to marry him. He was feeling almost blue enough to do anything desperate. He anally arrived at her house and much to his surprise she would not let him come in.
 You told my mother some very in- sulting things this morning on the street when she asked you how her new tunic looked. so you needn't both CT to call here any more"
 The young man tried to explainel things. but the door was shut in his lace and he srrowfully started home.
 His father evidently had seen him coming. for he met him al the door and told him not to come inside. that he was disowned
 The old man was very irate and said. You have ruined me. All of my creditors have come down on me because you told them that was about to fail Now get out and don't come back" The old man emphasized this by driving the boy down the steps
 Thoroughly disheartened he started doWh the street again. and on me way down town met Diogones. Dog snes passed him by and looked the ether way. Several or his friends pass ed him and aid not speak.
