Robert b. Mundeth, a p~ostofice inspec-

1t is charged that the agency, which

unearthed secret assets of bankrupt
firms and by this means procured large
fees on promised collections. J. b.
Widen, president Of the
committed suicide in st. Louis a few
days ago upon learning that the fed
eral authorities were investigating
the operations of his concern. An
other member of the firm is being
sought by postal authorities. He is
believed to have fed from the United

The men arrested here are G. II.
Tauett, George FL. Battler and G. W.
La Grave. They are said to have
made a clean breast of their connec.
tion with the agency, and are being
taken to Chicago to testify before the

write him out a check for the amount.

MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS
Ordinary Man Cannot Appreciate
What the Production Of a Great
Journal Involves.

The ordinary reader, as he opens his
daily journal. is content with vague
feeling that 1t somehow edits and com.
poses itself; he seldom reflects upon
the immense amount of organization.
upon the care in the selection Of news.
and even upon the mechanical skill in
adjustment so that every column may
be exactly filled. which are required
for even the most normal issue. He
seldom reflects upon the speed with
which 1t all has to be done. That a
great paper should appear morning
after morning generally correct in its
news, readable and sound in its liter
airy matter, accurate in it's printing,
that it should be distributed all over
tn country and the world at the right
moment, is none the less a marvel
because it has happened so often that
people have ceased TO look upon II
with surprise.

Good Takers and Good Writers.

Good takers are rarely good writ
ers, and vice versa. Good takers are
those who fill up the conversational
gaps. A conversational gap is the alb
sence of talk. Gaps come when
thought lags. Takers must be ready
to jump right in and fill up the gaps
without thinking. ....
Good writer's must make gaps;
great, huge thinking gaps. which must
be used for concentrated meditation,
after which comes the written result
Of that meditation. Good takers must
stop talking when they commence to
write. This is always hard for them.
Good writer's are too careful what
they say to consent to fill sudden talk.

Evening, January 5-She Says:
John,
What Is it smell?
An odor of nicotine,
A vile cigar.
I know you have been smoking.
So soon you have forgotten
The plans we made,
The automobile,
The trip to Europe.
The school for Ethel.
1t is but five short days ago
That believed you.
So 60 the plans l made,
The dreams l dreamed,
All spoiled. all ruined, 4

To drudge and toll,
To skimp and save
