James, who was seventy-four year:
old. had been in ill health for several
months and was stricken with apoplexy.
One of the last members of the
notorious robber band whose unparallel.
ed career of crime during the Civil war,
and the unsettled period following,
kept the people in a dozen states in
terror. Frank James had been living a

years.
Son of a minister and respected

Civil war, and together with his brother.

When the war ended they were hunt

who had met death at their hands.
Driven here and there they soon be-

Among the deeds the James gang
committed in Kentucky were: Loot

THE BARGAIN auto.

We see in the Louisville papers that
a 1926 automobile is to be put upon the
market. 1t aims at cutting under the
established cheap automobiles and the
cycle cars, which are not as yet of
establishing popularity.
Why shouldn't there be sl95 au
tomobile? 1t costs much less to make
some Of those now selling for twice
that sum.
1t costs more to make good hand
made buggy than it costs to make
any one Of the several kinds of motor
runabouts' A handmade buggy is al
ways much better than "a cheap fac
tory job. as the factory-made buggy
is called. All automobiles are FAC
tory jobs" 1t is due to the makers
to say that few are as badly made as
many cheap buggies. But all are
made at small expense. 1t has been
stated. and is doubtless true, that the
actual cost of $500 automobile is
alb ut Sl75. II that is true why should
not modest. yet durable and practical
machine sell for less than $500?
The day of the poor mans car
seems at hand. Already there are
machines of proved usefulness which,
all things considered, can be afforded
by anyone who can afford good horse
and good buggy.
