j. Bolton Winpenny, of 1882 North Broad
street, through whose information Will
liam Butler has been held in $4,000 bail

Mrs Wlnpenny is one of the bravest
women | ever knew" said Mr.. Hail.
"She has done something that not one
in 10000 women would do. Some one had
to come forward to expose these rascals
and she did 1t"

Tribute to Franklin
Read in All Public schools

Let us pause, for brief time, on
this anniversary day, to pay hon.
age to the memory of Benjamin
Franklin, printer, editor, author,
founder of the University of Penn
sylvania and of the Philadelphia
Library, philosopher, scientist,
statesman, diplomatist.
His name is carved in granite
and bronze; his homely quips, quaint
counsel and profound wisdom are
quoted oft in the tongues of twenty
nations. His genius for research
opened the door to illimitable ac-
complishment for those who follow
him. His gentleness, his benevo-
lence, his beautiful devotion to kim
dred and country have endeared
him to all mankind. Bound to no
sect, yet respecting all, and re-
spected by all. If he had fault
common to his times. ne had vir-
tues uncommon to all times. His
spirit lives; the passing of cen
turies shall not dim the luster of
his fame; his memory shall be cher
ished to the end of days. A self
made man, scholar among the
learned, the peer of peers, honored
by the highest-yet ever simply,
B. Franklin, Printer. A truly great
man, in mind, heart and soul.
So distinguished and many-sided
were his talents that his influence
on the minds of men has been
greater than that of any other
American.
