Why Not Jump To-Day

 Paying any debt with a check is much safer than with money. Every farmer in this county should have a bank account, no matter how small. It is the only correct method of keeping books. By having checking account the bank will keep your books for you, and free of expense. Your checks will show every transae- tion, besides being a receipt for every cent you may pay out.

FOR THEEFFYI 7 OF BRASS.
Two White Boys and a COlored Man
Implicated.

By the arrest of two white boys
and a colored man this morning by
Special A gent F. E. GouId,o the An
napolis Short Line, ii is hoped by the
railroad that numerous thefts of late
from the road will cease.
The arrests were the result of the
theft of nearly $3.50 worth of brass
car baskets, or luggage racks, from
four cars of the electric railroad
company. The fixtures had been
taken during a period If about ten
days, but were not missed until
Tuesday of this week, just a few
hours after the latest theft.
Mr.. Gould at once started to work
on the case and from two different
sources recovered about eighty pounds
of the fixtures, which had been sold
for junk and had been damaged be-
yond repair. This morning he set a
trap and caught Eugene Stewart try
ing to sell twenty-three pounds of the
broken fixtures. A few minutes Ater
Mr.. Gould arrested Ernest Thomas
and took both of them before Squire
Feldmeyer.
Iney admitted the THEFT or the fix
lures and stated that they had taken
them from four cars of thu Annapolis
Short Line, which were in a shed at
West Annapolis. They were held to
await the action of the grand jury
under $500 boud.
John Jacobs, colored. who was fined
yesterday for keeping a disorderly
house, was later arrested by Mr..
Gould on the charge of receiving
stolen property, it being alleged that
he had purchased the stolen property
from the two boys. He asked for a
hearing and his preliminary trial was
set for this afte ernoon. 1t is expect
ed that other arrests will be made as
a result of the wholesale thefts.

OBITUARY.
Kind Words on Death Of MFR. David O.
Parletf.


One by one the citizens of the old
school Of Annapolis are passing from
Us, aud going to join the great un-
known army beyond the gravel
In the recent death of David u.
Parlett, Annapolis has lost one of
its very best citizens, and one whose
quiet temperament and influence for
good will be long remembered. IL is
not yet three short years since l met
the late Mr.. Parlett for the first
time, and when / saw him two weeks
ago at the Emergency Hospital, /
could not withhold a longing and q
yearning to know the fine old msn
more intimately. For ! regarded
such man as a great object lesson
for the benefit cf all other men With
whom he came in contact.
Personally. I am strong believer
in handing out bouquets whilst one
is still living. but in the present in
stance death came so Unexpectedly
that an exception might reasonably
be granted. Since first gaining a
knowledge of Mr. Parlett have had
many hundreds Of business transae-
tions with him, and have never
found hin try 70 take the advantage
of one cent in any OF his dealings
with me; on the contrary he has a al
ways shown a marked desire 20 be
just and honest in every instance
Whilst his courtesy and desire TO serve
acceptably were so gratifying to me
| that too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon such an exemplary busi-
ness man.
The late Mr.. Parlett had learned
his lesson in life; he had passed far
beyond the narrow confines IF "Knowl-
edge comes, bat wisdom fingers" and
he had entered upon plane and into
belief which seemed to say:
Life is real1 Life is earnestl
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returneth,
Was not spoken of the soIl. +"
To illustrate his character more
clearly, will relate an interview
that took place between US about two
years ago. needed several thous-
and feet of a certain kind OF lumber,
and | asked Mr.. Parlett to reduce his
price of $40 per thousand feet for
| the same, and | also showed him a
bill from another firm, who had
charged me So per thousand feet less.
Mr.. Parlett said No, cannot give
you a better price; in fact we are
| cheaper now than that firm is. When
| sell you q thousand feet, you may
rely upon US to seni you a thousand
feet. But those people, well, you are
lucky if you get eight hundred and
| fifty feet to the thousand. "
From that moment ! always looked
upon Mr. PaIlett in different light.
/ for never once foun1 him to 90
back upon his word or to try to take
dishonest advantage Cf any business
transaction. And nav the Master
has called him Homel

RELICS OF THE MAINE.
Plans for Their Distribution Among
PATRIOTIC Societies.

The Navy DEPARTING Mt has hit upon
new Llan for distributing to patri-
