of Sellicottville. N T., has been anx-
ious about the honesty OF the people
OF the town for a considerable time,
and finally decided to try the mat
ter out. He went to one of the de-
partment stores in the town center
and gave Is dimes to a clerk, ask
ing that she give an extra dime to
the first twenty-five customees
Well, it's just as Walter suspected
Five pocketed the change without
looking which shows that they will
never amount to much financially
unless by sheer accident. OF the
twenty others. fifteen made tracks
for the open spaces on Main street.

honesty. three were women and two
men. The experiment shows saws

The last word last night regarding the
condition of J. +. Morgan came over
the telephone from Junius Spencer Nor
gan, the nnancier's son.
Jubilation marked his tones as he an
nounced at 1870 that not only has all
danger from the wound itself become a
thing of the past. but also-and 1t was
this fear that caused much worry among
Mr.. Morgan's friends--all the danger
from Infection has passed.
Junius Spencer Morgan had been
quietly confident for the past several
days that he has been informing the
public OF his fathers condition. but when
the reporters at Glen Cove got him on
the wire last nisht and heard the delight
in his voice there could be no doubt that
a rapid, sure recovery from the bullet
! wounds inflicted last saturday morning
by Frank Holt is as certain in youns
MIR. Morgan's belief as can be.
