L.
Shaw got up to go TO the boys room
and found that the boy was already
sound asleep. He noticed that
Smith had on his shoes, and wonder
ed what the strange-acting man
could mean. He assured the man
that both boys were asleep. but made
no comment on the mans strange de-
meanor.
"NeXt morning when the family
awoke Smith had made his depar-
ture and has not been heard from
since. He left without calling for
some money that was due him, and
also left some wearing apparel.
MIR. Shaw says the man acted
very strangely, and he cannot keen
from wondering what part he played
IN the great tragedy that has a.
tracted so much attention."

'LAUDS NATIONAL
GUARD TRAINING
Booklet Would Interest Bust
ness Men in Excellently
Trained Employees.
WOULD AID OUR DEFENSE
Article Prepared by Winfield Jones
and Senator Chamberlain Is Issued
by National Defense League.

Military training as a means Of in
creasing the efficiency of employees Is the
plan proposed by Winfield Jones, chair
man Of the National Guard committee
| Of the Chamber of Commerce. to interest
business men in local militia camps
Back of the argument and consequent
| upon its being carried out Is a subtle
scheme to make of the National Guard
real guard of the nation. a line Of de-
tense auxiliary TO the regular army.
The arguments are presented in a book
let written by Mr.. Jones and issued by
the National Defense League from its
Washington offices. Senator George E.
Chamberlain. Of Oregon, chairman of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee. col
la bcrated with Mr.. Jones on the article.
The booklet is being sent to 5000 COM
mercial and trade organizations in the
country.
Training Valuable Asset.
The article reads. in part. as follows:
THE statement can be made without
fear of contradiction that National Guard
training is one of the best and most
valuable assets that an employe can OBJ
tain to make himself more valuable to
his employer. There is no business man
who does not value and appreciate in his
employees attention to duty, promptneSs,
carefulness. neatness. good physical con-
dition, robust health and good moral
character Every one OF these valuable
qualities in an employe are secured in
great measure by service in the National
Guard.
"A good National Guard in any city or
town is the best protection against loss
or damage of property from mobs or
hooters, in the event of fires. floods.
wrecks. and catastrophies Of various
kinds. which are liable to occur any
where. This has been proved time and
time again.
Then. in the event of war. it Is the
Young National Guardsman who goes to
the front to fight for the country Is the
representative of the business man, who
must stay at home because of age. ply
steal disability. family ties. or important
matters. On the firing line. facing the
enemy, the National Guardsman Is the
proxy of the business man. 1t is poor
American, indeed. who would not be
willing to do his part TO uphold the hands
Of those who may defend him."

Callan Loses Job Because of AEey
Tanner Provides Another.

Things moved rapidly yesterday in the
well-ordered life of James F Callan. 81.
He appeared at the City Hall early to
ia Ike up his duties as Waterman just as
he has been doing on court days for
the last twenty-four years. But before
he started his rounds Callan got an Of
fetal envelope containing a lengthy no.
tice. which. reduced to few words.
read you are fired on account Of old
age
Callan was quite dumfounded. He
gave up his badge and baton and started
to go home when he met Corporal James
Tanner the civil war veteran. whose
record reads like a chapter of history
Tanner is register of wills and he and
Callan have been friends for many
years.
What ails You. Callan?" asked Tan
ner. Callan told the story and though
there was a trace of a sob In the old
mans voice. Tanner appeared not to no.
tice When Callan finished. Corporal
Tanner laughed. slapped Callan hearty
slap on the back and said:
"Shucks. Callan. don't bother about
getting fired. You were getting $50
month Waterman. weren't you? Well.
l need a messenger and II YOU can work
for $50 month you can start in now"
Callan started in without any delay and
it is likely his new job will last as long
as he wants it.
