GAVE AWAY STOLEN MONEY.
Barroom loafers Were Benefited BY
Defalcation of Cashier.

With about $4,000 in cash in his
pockets, William TAFT of Brooklyn, %
years old, ran away from the Brooklyn
Office Of the Edison company on De-
cember last. He had been one of the
assistant cashiers OF the corporate
and in the cage of the cashier was
accustomed to handle large sums of
money for his employers. He was
short SIS in his accounts and he had
SO fixed the books that he had man
aged to put off discovery.
On December TAFT selected $500 in
bills and walked away with it. Sec
end thought impelled him to return
IN few minutes AMI get more. So he
went back and took $4,000 in addition
He got to Portland, Me-, with the
money. But he did not know what to
do with the cash.
He drifted around the Eastern states
and made friends in barrooms. And
he proved a mine Of wealth to some Of
the loafers. He got rid of the cash,
500 at time, to strangers. He says
that he could not sleep and that he vas
on the verge Of suicide on several oc-
casions.
Aaie ietuiHeu 10 new YORK ana got
a job with strike breaking concern.
The work was not steady and one daS
recently he parted with his last re :
spectacle suit to a crafty pawnbroker.
A detective placed him under arrest
a few days later. TAFT seemed glad to
have it over. His father, who seemed
to have suffered much since the de-
falcation, was in court with him.

The work Of planking the Ticonic

The work Of planking the Ticonic
bridge is progressing very rapidly and
it is expected by Henry Butler. who is
in charge of the work, that the last
plank will be laid before noon Satur-
day. The work has been somewhat set
back by the fact that two layers Of
planks have been torn up while the
last two times that the bridge was
planked the planks were simply laid
over the old ones and 1t was necessary
to stop to take up any. Owing to the
fact that the city was able to secure
the electric road bridge for use by
teams and automobiles during the time
the planking was being done the work
has been completed this year with less
bother to the people who have to use
it than ever before. The work has also
been done exceptionally quick.

T<IME was, and within the memo
ries Of many of US, when but a
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much Of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising mp roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. 1t developed, gradual
ly, into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

kennebeC Journal Ads
Give Practical HELPS

S advertising took on this char
~ acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. usewives
learned that through reading the
advertisement of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses Of the world to come un-
der the sway Of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
nnent. Thus the circle of people in-
fiuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are influenced
in their buying by the ADVERTISE
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.
