 It was pay day at the Consolidated Coal and Lumber works, and a mine worker was returning home with his monthly envelope. He met bad man with pistol. who demanded his wages. The worker handed the money over.
 NOW said he, @nny wife will think that I've gambIed or drunk. Won't you shoot a hole in my coat, so that I can prove that I was attacked and robbed ?,
 why, certainly So" answered the robber.
 The worker held out his coattai1 while the other punctured it with a bullet.
 Another" begged the worker, and the other fired again.
 'tAnother,' and there was another hole in the garment another and still another.
 .sThat,s all the cartridges I've get !" said the robbez.
 .sAll the cartridges you've got?'' said the worker, picking up rock. s'Then give back that money. Hand, over your pistol and whatever else you hap pen to have 'A-NationaI Monthly.

An Arab View of New Work

An Arab who visited New York city is said to have sent this letter home. People in America travel like rats under the ground meaning the sub way1, and like squirrels in the air Tmeaning the elevated railWaysl. and the buildings are so high that people have to be put in square boxes and pulled to the top by heavy ropes Imeaning the elevatorI. Tn the day the sun furnishes the light the same as in Morocco. At night the light is as strong as the day. but people here do not seem to have much use for sleep, as the streets are just as crowded ae night as in the day."-Outlook.

Che Third of Sing

 KS a medical man I took great "A interest in the appearance of
 the men I saw on my visit tc Sing Sing prison, and it seemed to me that probably a third of the whole number were detectives MEN WHOSE CASES CALLED FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT OR CARE IN AN ASYLUM. Perhaps another third were young men who ought never to have been put in with hardened criminals, and the last third were the men. for whom such places as-sIng Sing have to exist.
 BUT IS THERE SUCH A THING AS AN AMERICAN CRIMINAL? ;? THERE IN SING SING SAW GREAT NUMBERS OF MEN Evi- DENTLY OF FOREIGN BIRTH. YOUR CRIMINALS ARE.

AMERICAN TENNIS PLAYERS
 WILL HAVE SEVERE TASK
Champion Mclaughlin Only Member
 Of US. Team Sure Of His Position

1 preparing to invade the states, Amer fcan amateur sportsnaen are crossing | contests for which 1914 has already | esta ablished a record. The Harvard
 second varsity crew sails to-day for l London to compete in the English
 Royal Henley regatta July 1, 4, being
 preceded by the Union Boat Club
 eight pared crew for the same pur- pose. To voluntarily offer to row
 against the best oarsmen of England l requires supreme confidence the part of American crews yet the sweep 1 swingers are outdone by the Haver- ford College cricketers who are to-
 day setting foot on English soil for | a playing invasion against the lead ing school and club teams of that
 country.
 Haverford college. which is famous I for it's cricket teams, has sent play l ing combinations to the home of cricket four times in the pasts eight l cen years and has always made a fair 1 showing against English school and
 club players despite the fact that the Am erican co11egtan is far more at l home on the baseball diamond than | the cricket crease The initial inva- sion was made in 1896 and was re- peated in 1900, 1904 and 1910. As in past years the squad will consist
 games will be played between June 25 l and July 2S.
 An idea of the rapid advance of aviation abroad can be gained from announcement that France is about to sign posts for the guidance of private and military ayiators The system,
 which has been outlined by the Aero Club of France and adopted by the
 War Minister is extremely simple. and the sfgnposts, which have in reality the form and aspect Of a. table, possess
 from a military point of view the con siderable advantage of being easily and promptly suppressed in case of war. Indeed, the, metal treIlis-work
 of which they are made, measuring 21 feet 1-2 inches by 15 feet, inches, and standing on metal legs about feet high, can be turned upside down by one man without difficulty. These sign tables, as they may be called, are to bear only two figures each meas uring g feet, 10 inches long and 6 feet S-4 inches broad, which dimen- ksions will, it is calculated, make them visible from an altitude of 6,560 feet, especially as the figures in white en- anel will be placed on closely woven metal trellis-work painted blue.

Cooperation.

Cooperation is the spirit of the
times. Confidence and cooperation
are the greatest levers of progress.
The modern municipality is an in
dustrial and commercial, rather than
political problem. The fact that
individual. members are competitors
does not lessen their need for Coop
Grafton along lines of mutual inter-
est. On the contrary, the individual
citizen should have an opportunity
to work more effectively with his fell
low citizens along community bust
ness lines. The problems of COM
munity are interviewer. Men find
themselves compelled to. take an in
terest in many things. At first sight
many do not seem to come within the
scope of their business routine.
Therefore, the activities of the Com
mercial club and the Business Mems
association are sufficiently broad to
respond to nearly every endeavor
that effects, directly or Indirectly,
the commercial welfare of our city.

State Business Larger.

Walter J. Smith, state treasurer,
has prepared comparative statement
of the states business showing the
growth of the transactions of his de-
partment during the past decade to
be $40, 100000. That the state is
in better financial condition now than
it was a year ago is Indicated by
the fact that there is a cash balance
of $3,807,S30.4 in the treasury as
compared with $1,S12,367.9O July
81, 1913. The real test is the con-
dition of the revenue fund out of
which all the ordinary state expenses
are paid. A year ago it was over
drawn $590,065.86. Now it has a
cash balance of $55O,9O6.1S, or an
increase of more than $1,4OO,OOO in
twelve month. Minnesota's chief
source of revenue comes from rail-
roads gross earnings tax, inheritance
taxes, incorporated fees, insurance
companies tax, telephone companies
tax, telephone companies tax, inebrf-
ate liquor tax, timDer stumpage and

Someone has estimated that it
costs $4,000 to raise a boy from boy
hood to the age of 10, this amount
being distributed among food, cloth
ing and various other expenses. This
means daily expenditure on the part
of the parents of sixty cents. This,
of course, is not low estimate, but
even if the total cost were lower, in
how many cases does the youth even
think of returning the money?
