CATTLE THIEF CAUGHT.

For some time stock OF various
kinds have been disappearing from
this vicinity. 1t Is now thought the
leak" has been stopped. A Hick-
man negro. Bob Jones, alias Bob Hud-
son, was caught In Union City, Sat
urday, while In the act of cashing a
check at the Old National Bank, that
was given him by Joe Boxley. of near
negro sold to him. Suspecting that
the COW was stolen property. Mr..
Boxley notified officers who waited at
the bank for the negro. Bob has
been telling his purchasers that the
stock he sold was stuff raised ION the
shares" and belonged TO himself and
S. l.. Dodds. Dodds informed the Of
ficers that no such arrangement ex-
listed and the negro trapped himself.
He was brought to Hickman and put
in jail.
The negro says the COW he sold
to Mr.. Boxley is one that he got in
the vicinity OF the Mengel Box Co.
and does not know to whom the ami
NAL belongs. II is a black and white
spotted COW with crumpled horn. The
ownd can get her at Boxley's place.
Bob, a few weeks ago. sold a COW
to a firm at Fulton. The price was
so low that the purchasers became
suspicious and called up S. L. Dodds-
When the negro saw them go to the
phone. he liked out without waiting
for his pay for the COW. and was not
seen any more until he turned up at
Jordan. He admits that he is the
man who sold the COW in Fulton. and
duplicates himself in other deals of
the like.

A SAMPLE OF ECONOMY.

The last annual report of the Sec
Rotary OF the Treasury contains some
startling figures relating TO the cost
of administering our customs service,
due TO the maintenance OF ports of
entry and minor offices connected
Herewith at points where they are
not justified by the amount of feder-
al business transacted The United
States maintains 100 ports OF entry
where customs are collected. 1t is
interesting TO see Just what 1t costs
the government TO collect its Gus
toms at certain OF these ports. The
most striking example is the port Of
Albemaric elizabeth City, North
Carolina. For the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1911, 1886 was collected at
this port. II cost the government ST.
SCI .2l to collect this amount. In
other words, the government expend-
ed s534S2 for each dollar II collected
at Elizabeth City. At Natchez. Miss.
the aggregate receipts were $3.50
and the expenses were $57s.15. The
cost for each dollar collected at
Natchez was s12s.47.

Woman'e Chances,

fifth birthday unmarried. and legal

The ChiId's TOYS.

Cloaked under pretense OF max
Ing the children happy, our sins have
been many. In the first place, we
have been giving them too many toys
and have made the recipients blase
and unappreciative. One at time Is
enough. In our secret souls most OF
us have been conscious OF that mis-
take. In the second place, In our
desire to produce something new and
wonderful at frequent intervals, some
thing that would do us credit in the
eyes of our young admirers, we have
been getting the wrong kinds. The i'm
ported mechanical toys upon which
we have fallen with gusto and played
happily ourselves until obliged to
hand them over are far better for US,
it seems, than for them. They do the
work for the child instead of making
him do 1t.
Here we have In a nutshell the
main principle underlying the selec.
ton of toys. The child's toys should
stimulate his imagination and make
him work. II he has too many he has
nothing left to imagine; If they re-
spond to the magic of key, he can
only stand by and watch..-Martha

To Escape Gold Bricks.

A man or woman with funds to
invest should make 1t primary prin
ciple to first consult an experienced
banking house Of established reputa-
ton. The first step in the prudent in.

make your problem his problem.
Few investors realize that within the
past few years there has sprung up
new guild in the banking business,
bankers whose business runs well over
500, 100000 annually and whose sue.
cess Is largely due to the faithful and
thoughtful attention given each serious
