He Carelessly Locks Malvern Cashier
 in Vault Containing Large Sum.

Malvern, March 22.-Unless the lone cAndit who held up the First Nationsl baul: C. Malvern at noon today cu,ti- yates greater powers of observation he ever will make a success in his chosel: profession.
 Tie laundering bandit, after a hold uD successful in other respects. locked Cashier H. l.. Mcdonald in the vault in which there was $6, 100 in currency in plain view. He fled, taking $513, which had been placed in the cashiers desk to make change. The robber did not enter the vault and apparently did nos even look inside.
 Cashier Was Alone.
 MT. Mcdonald was alone in the bank. The assistant cashier, Rommie McCon- nell, had gone to lunch. An under sizeo man, apparently about 60 years old, with @ face tanned by exposure, and made disreputable by three days growth of gray beard. entered. He car ried a small satchel. Calmly he walk cd around behind the counter.
 Git in the vault" he said curtiy. This is an unusual request for C, toners of the bank to make, and tir. Mcdonald looked up in mild surprise. A glance at the face of the weazened, little old man convinced him that his caller was no comedian. Were further proof needed the intruder pointed a large. vicioMs-looking revolver in MT. McDonald's general direction.
 At the callers request MT. McDon> aid marched into the vault, his hands pointing ceilingward. AS he heard the lock click behind him and thought of the $6,10O in the vault, MT. Mcdonald was not so sure that the joke was on him after all.
 About 20 minutes later, H.B. Means, q req. estate dealer, entered the bank and heard untitled cries emanating from the vault. He hastily summoned assistant Cashier Mcconnell, who re- leased the cashier.

Candidates for state as well ae for county and district office have learned that the best and the cheapest way to reach the voters is by means of advertis- ing in the county newspapers. in the country press. This is the first campaign in which candidates for governor have ueeG other that the big dailies as medium. The big daily rarely leaves the railroad towns while the county papers goes out into the heart of the coun- try where the great mass of the people live. To circularize the entire state costs a young for tune: to reach the same people through the country press re- uuires a mere fraction of that amount.

$4,000 for cream or at the rate of

IT'S COLORADO
When looking for scenic beauty
While travelling DER the land.
Come and visit Colorado,
Made by Gods most mighty hand.
Tis the garden of creatures
With all things supremely blest
And for loveliness and beauty
1t is found in the golden west.
And its fertile level plains,
Its beautiful streams and rivers
Fed by mountain SHOWS and rains.
1t has all that man desires,
When he wants a place Of rest.
He can find it in Colorado,
Out here. in the golden west.
With the great Niagra river
And the beautiful Canadian falls.
Where dame nature was at work
In its former early calls.
Its beauty is enchanting
And lulls the weary soul to rest,
But they are nothing to compare
With the beautiful golden west.
We have seen the Pyramids.
Which was built by mighty hands,
And we have seen the catacombs
In the Oriental lands.
But there is nothing half SO lovely,
When we want place of rest.
AS the dear old Rocky Mountains,
Out here. In the golden west.
We have sailed the mighty oceans
And the Gulf of Mexico,
We have seen the great Peninsula
And the Archipelago.
But none to us seems lovely
When we want place of rest,
AS the grand old Rocky Mountains,
That we have in the golden west.

peel off the wornout skin when it loses
it's youthful color and apepOrance-now
that this can be done so easily, safely,
painlcssly and economically. There 3
no trouble getting mercolized wax at
any drug store Gan ounce will do), since
its virtues have become generally
known here, and there 5 no trouble us
ing it--iust as you use cold cream, APP
plying at night, washing it off next
morning. The wax takes off the Ga
scarf skin, in tiny flakes, little each
day. The new under-skin which gradu-
ally appears is velvety soft and beauti-
fully white, radiant with girlish lowell
ness. Any surface trouble like pimples,
red or pellow patches, freckles, etc,
vanishes of course with the discarded
cuticle.
1t has also become the fashion, when
