BILLY SUNDAY

don't care whether you play cards
for cream pitcher or for gold piece,
you are blackleg gambler just the
same. Boys flip pennies on the street
and the cops pinch them. vet you'd be
just as much a haul for the police as
though they backed the patrol wagon
up in font of a gambling den instead
Of your home. You say, "It will new
er get me-" All right, but 1t will
get others. SO you ought to refrain
from gambling for the sake of other
people whom your example might lead
astray. haven't had a pack of cards
in my hands for over thirty years.
Now, / am not trying to cram any
thing down your throats. am ap-
pealiDg to your sense of leason and

ly probably would not need to preach
this sermon. But fortunately, or
unfortunately, we are made up of ma
ny families If you are lax in the
care of your children 1t makes it hard
er for me to take care Of mine. II you
,jon't care whether your children go
to the devil, and do care, you make
it that much harder for me to keep my
children right.

SOME ONE CARES.

When you meet some disappointment, an yer
feelin' kind-O-blue
When yer plans have all got side-tracked, or
some friend has proved untrue;
When yer tOiling, praying, struggling at the
bottom of the stairs
1t is like panacea-just to know that some
one cares.
Some one who can appreciate ones efforts
when he tries;
Some one who seems to understand and so
sympathiZe;
Some one who, when he's far away, still won
ders how he fares
Some one who never can forget-some one
who really cares.
1t will send a thrill of rapture through the
framework of the heart;
1t will stir the inner bein' till the teardrops
want to start;
For this life is worth the vin' when some one
yer sorrow shares,
Life is truly worth the lvin' when you know
that some one cares.
Oh, this world is not all sunshine many days
dark clouds disclose;
There's cross for evry joy bell, an thorn
for ev'ry rose!
But the cross is not SO grievOus, nor the thorn
the rosebud wears
An the clouds have silver inin's-when some
really cares.

Smith came to my room He said that
we had better go to Iowa City to his
mothers place and get ready to pull
off the job, so we took a west bound
Rock Island train out of Davenport
at , o'clock Monday morning and ar
rived in Iowa City.
THE following day, Tuesday, we
went by interurban to North Liberty,
where we looked the bank over and
then we returned. We stayed around
the home of Smiths mother, which
was 125 West Burlington street, until
Friday. Then we decided to pull it off
that day That was the 18th of July

We went down the main street of
Iowa City and picked out an automo-
bile from row of machines standing
there, piled in and went to North Lib
erty. We pulled up on a side street
and | found that the gasoline was low
so l sent Smith over for five gallons
while l filed up the water reservoir.
We were then ready for escape.
While we were on the way to North
Liberty Smith told me to shoot if the
cashier made a crooked move. | told
him I would not. l said l did not want
to go up for life and l told him that if
he counted on any shooting | was out
OF 1t, because | would not commit muir
der We both agreed then that there
would be no shooting, besides l argued
that it would only attract people to
the bank.
Il went in with the gun in my hand
and put it up to the face of the cash
Ter. He laughed at first l guess he
thought I was only joking. told him
the second time to put up his hands
before he obeyed. Then I led him
to the back of the bank, took off his
spectacles, as he asked me too, and
put him prone on the couch, face
downward. With rope that we had
brought along, l tied him to the
couch. In the meanwhile Smith was
filling travelling bag with money and
we left the bank, got in the machine
and started back for Iowa City. While
we were on the way, making % miles
and more, we were passed by four

Authorities here at first suspected a
third man was implicated but LOOMS
denies this. Following his arrest the
police interviewed his girl" and ig-
norant of the fact that LOOMS was
under arrest she told the police many
things which aided them in getting a
basis for their questions before he
made the confession.
Loomis was removed to the Daven-

A reward of 500 for the capture of

North Liberty had advanced expenses
for the local police in the apprehen-
