You win always have money in the
bank and credit at the stores if. you
are the best in your line 1t makes
no difference whether you are work
ing on the section, digging in the
ditch, shoyeling coal, shucking corn,
moving weeds or shoyeling snow. If
you are the most competent in town
you will get the most work The
day will come when you wilF be boss
and from boss you step to a man who
hires such work done. This is the
story over and over The fellows who
didn't believe are the fellows who
are still soldering in the ditch and
in the field. They will stick there
because they are not the best. The
fellow who makes his work the best
in the field is the fellow who gets the
promotion. Rising in the world is
the easiest thing on earth. But you
must have thegoods. The black bass
commands a bigger price on the mar
ket than does the mud turtle. You
can be mud turtle or you can be a
black bass But you can't be a black
bass if you stick TO the habits of the
mud turtle. II you have the habits
OF the black bass it viii be impossible
for you to be mud turtle. The black
bass succeeds and the mud turtle

Last Monday night, the High
School Basket Ball team went to
Wa-Keeney and played ball. To say
they got beat is putting it mild. But
the players and those that accompani-
ed them were so warmly received,
and treated so nicely all the way
through that they were glad they had
gone. The Wa-Keeney boys will play
the return game here Monday night.

Last Tuesday evening the hand
some residence of W. n. Larabee
narrowly escaped being DESTROYED by
fire. One of the ladies connected
with the Gabe Garrett Company used
lamp in one of the upstairs rooms
and failed to extinguish it on leaving
the room and the lamp exploded. A
window curtain near by caught fire
which was the means of some of the
neighbors and passers by giving the
alarm. III. M. Smith and Charlie
Kellogg rushed up stairs and exiting
uished the blaze before it got beyond
control. The window curtains and
window casing we're completely de-
.stroyed and the dresser on which the
lamp had been placed was so badly
damaged as to make it useless But

GETS HIS MONEY BACK
AFTER BEING FINED
Senator's Secretary Looks Up Law
and Bladensburg Authorities
Admit Mistake.

Don Hunt. secretary to Senator Reed
OF Missouri. yesterday had the unusual
experience of paying money into the
hands of the Maryland authorities as
fine for alleged violation of the state
laws relating to automobiles. and then
receiving the money back from them.
He was driving Senator Reeds car
through Bladensburg. Nd. when he was
held up by the authorities and taken
before Justice of the peace, who ruled
that he should pay SIS fine. He asked
the reason for the fine and was told he
had violated Section 1877 relating to
operating an automobile in Maryland
without a state license.
The car he was driving carried on it a
Missouri license and also a District
license. Hunt paid the money over. And
then it occurred to him that he had better
take a look at section 137. since it was
costing him money.
On examination it was found that by
section 1877 persons who had licenses from
other states were permitted to drive
through Maryland without a Maryland
license. He pointed this out to the au-
thorities and they admitted their mistake
in fining him. He got his money back
and drove away. Now he is wondering
whether other automobilists are being
made victims OF section 1877" by Mary
land authorities. when. as a matter of
fact, they are entirely within their rights.

NEW YORK SKYSCRAPER
IS THREATENED BY FIRE
Two Structures Already Burned and
Tenants of Sun Building Are
Ordered Out.

NEW YORK. April "a serious fire
broke out in the downtown section of
the city early this afternoon. At
o'clock it had destroyed two five-story
buildings on Beekman street occupied
by paper concerns and had spread to
an old 1fteen-story skyscraper at the
corner of Nassau and Beekman and
threatened it with destruction. Three
alarms were turned in.
Shortly after 2 o'clock all tenants
were ordered out of the twenty-story
skyscraper known as the Nassau-Be
man building. and occupied by the
New York Sun. The building was at
that time seriously threatened by the
flames.
= Fire department officials announced
at $50 o'clock that the fire was under
control and would be confined to the
two destroyed buildings. with some
damage to the fifteen-story building at
Nassau and Beekman streets. Most of
the tenants in the Sun building stayed
in their offices in spite of the danger.
1t was roughly estimated that the
damage would amount to 100000.

HIGHEST DISTRICT COURT
HEARS AMBROSE APPEAL
Counsel for Accused Attorney GiveA
Reasons Why Conviction
Should Be Vacated,

The District Court of Appeals today
heard arguments Of counsel on the ap.
peal OF William Z. Ambrose. member
OF the bar. from his conviction on q
charge of embezzling funds of an es.
tate of which he was administrator
Ambrose is under sentence of ten
years in the penitentiary.
Among the points urged by Attorney
James s. Easily Smith, for the accused
as to the reasons why the conviction
should be vacated, was the admission
of evidence tending to show that Am.
brose had not handled properly other
funds in cases where he had sustained
flduciary capacity two or three years
prior to the alleged embezzlement.
He also pointed out that while AM
brose admitted the mingling of the
fiduciary funds in his personal bank
account. he was precluded from show
ing that he had rendered accounts IN
all these cases as soon as called on.
and that the money was paid to the
beneficiaries.
United States Attorney Laskey and
Assistant United States Attorney Van
Fleet sought to uphold the conviction
and to defend the action of the trial
court In making the rulings exclud-
ing evidence of restitution and OF al
lowing alleged actions in similar cases
to be submitted to the jury as tend
ing to reflect light on the alleged GRIM
inal intent in the case at bar.

Court Refuses to Order Secretary
Lane to Pass on Oil Leases,

The District Court Of Appeals today
affirmed the action Of the District Su-
preme Court in refusing mandamus
to compel Secretary Lane to approve
or disapprove lease for oil lands in
Oklahoma belonging to Andy Reynolds.
In an opinion by Mr.. Justice Van Ors-
del the court points out that until q
positive refusal has been made by
the Secretary of the Interior to ap-
prove the lease no cause exists for
mandamus
'The Secretary cannot be compelled"
says the appellate court, "by writ of
mandamus to perform an act which for
lack of submission to him he has not
even had an opportunity to refuse to
perform. The lease in due course has
simply not reached the Secretary, and
until it does and he has acted or re-
fused to act no cause Of action exists"
