In Pittsburg the other day. "The rea-

country are continually getting into

"Of course there is another side to
this. There are schemers who make
business Of preytng on the sons OF
rich men. They try to involve them
in all sorts of difficulties. And of
course there are adventuresses who
seek to trap the gilded youth. A young

quite innocently, but no matter how it
has happened or what difficulties he
may be in, the first thing to do is to
cut off his supply of cash. That will

1t was with much reluctancy that the
Sunday school of the First Baptist
church accepted the resignation of
their superintendent, Mr.. 8. L. Fulg-
hum, recently, for during the two
years that he has held this Office he

enthusiasm. The teachers, officers and
children win miss his ever pleasant
face from among them each Sunday

ton and to express their regrets that
