TOMMY PARTS WITH HIS R0LL
$8l poorer and Wiser IS Thomas
Martin.

Thomas Martin, residing near Calvert.
started on trip to Florida last week and
while enjoying stop-over in Baltimore
met stranger who gave his name as Nor
an, Martins company proved so agreeable
that Moran accompanied him to Washing
ton and while seeing things" there they
stopped in front of bank. Moran pro-
duced highly embellished sheet Of paper
which he said was $1,000 gold certificate
and Tommy gazed in awe at the gilt let
iering $1,000 IN GOLD.' Moran said
he wanted to get it cashed but had to
show certain amount in cash before the
bank would honor the certificate He
lacked few dollars of the necessary
amount and asked Martin to loan him
what he had. just long enough to go in
the bank. get the money and come out
again. Tommy produced $SI which
Moran hurridly counted. went in the bank
and appeared again in few moments,
walked past Tommy at a rapid rate and
kept going at such gait that Martin was
soon bad second in the walking match.
Martin told his tale of woe to the officials
and was sent back to Rising Sun where
he drew another roll from the bank and
again started for the sunny south on Mon
day, with the resolve to make no more
short time loans.
