The stranger drew to one side,

founded Webster was soon too
busy to notice him. The eager
crowd filed in; everybody was
paid promptly. The sight of the
great bundles of bills began to
have an effect. Some, shamed,
redeposited their money. Others,
catching the infection of restored
confidence, did not ask for their
money at all. Within an hour the
news went all over town that the
bank was safe.

MY name was Dallas-not

I improved it. I went to my folks
fifty miles from here. A relative
left me a fortune. I have kept

An hour later the bank mes

tomobile, with plenty Of money to
safely tide the bank over.
Webster paid back his grateful
friend in need. He did not tell
even Ethel the story. Down deep
in his heart, however, he fervent-

reformed criminal who had saved
the bank at a critical juncture.

Total Reduction Of Duty on Foods

Notwithstanding the promises of the
party that the prices of these articles
would take a tumble after the law
went into operation.
After free sugar becomes effective,
basing the calculations upon the
duties paid under the Payne-Aldrich
law for the year 1912, the net saving
in foodstuffs for the American people
will amount to just about sc cents
for every man, woman and child in
the United States,
The amount of duties paid in 1912
on articles that have been transferred
from the dutiable to the free list was
s7296,733. On items upon which re-
auctions were made the saving an
nually will be- based upon the 1912
figures, s6112,732. These two classi-
fiCations bring about lessening or
