learned that the 8:11 was stalled at a /
certain point, not ten miles away, by
train robbers. A posse in swift au-
tOmobiles was suggested by Dan.
Then he eased back and wondered
if due diligence would Obstruct the
robbers before they got away. Just
as he calculated, the robbers had no
easy task in getting into the express
car and forcing its safe. Half an
hour went by when, from the city,
half a dozen automobiles dashed
down the crossing road. The rob-
beTs were surrounded and secured
after a struggle. The booty Of those
who had gone through the train and
held up the passengers was restored
to them.
One among them vOciferOusly
glOated over his restored money.
I've got back the price of my hap
piness.'' he cried joyOusly. How did
it come about?" And when Dams |
share in the transaction was known,
he added to that 5O-cent piece a crisp
new $1OO bill.
You're a mascotp' he exUberated,
showing Dan a photograph of the |
girl who was to be his wife. See,
she actually smiles in the picture to
let you know how grateful and |
thankful she feels toward yOu!"
And the passengers Clipped in and
the railroad company later added its !
contribution, and, being a hero and a |
pet spoiled the tramp routine for Dan
Beasley and he made up his mind to |
turn respectable, and succeed.

SMALL DEFENSE RESTS
With WITNESSES READY
Action Causes Surprise at Murder
TriaLBroker Doesn't Testify.

OssIpee, n. H.. Jan. 6-The defense for
Frederick L. Small, on trial here for wife
murder. was rested at 3:55 this afternoon.
Small was not placed upon the stand in
his own defense. The closing the case
caused a great surprise as severHl wit
nesses summoned from distant Oints
were in the court room.
Rebuttal of the medical testimony of
the defense was Immediately started by
State Medical Examiner Magrath, of Bos-
ton. DIR. o. B. Horne and DR.. Z. w.
Hodson, denied that the body OF Mrs.
Small showed a red mark denoting that
Mrs. Small was alive or had just died
when the body was burned.
Attorneys for Small were undecided to-
day whether or not to place the accused
man on the witness stand. In spite of
the fact that they announced some time
ago that the Boston brokers' own testi-
mony would be the biggest card In their
attempt to show that be had nothing
Whatsoever to do with the murder Of his
wife. the Small legal corps evidently
changed its collective mind. ..-.

Want Elixir Of Life?
Go Back to the Farm !!

The elixer OF life is to be found
back on the farm, the United
States Public Health Service an
nounced yesterday. Rural people
generally enjoy greater health ad-
vantages, and have a much lower
mortality rate than their city
cousins
Latest statistics show that of
every 10000 persons living in
country districts, 5s,117 survive un-
til the age of 50. as compared with
1854 city dwellers who attain that
age. Women generally live longer
than men.
Although rural surroundings are
conducive to longevity, the govern
ment's medical experts found a
high morality rate among women
between the ages OF 20 and 40 in
rural centers.

Below is presented a little compost

Philadelphia:
1t began in bleeding Belgium with the
Kaiser at the bat,
He won the game at Liege and thot
he had the series pat,
Then Johnny Bull went in to pitch and
stopped the foes advance,
While the feature OF the game became
the fielding work of France.
Russia went in to pinch hit along the
eastern front
And Italy and Rumania each laid down
perfect bunt.
They whipped Old Bill at Vimy Hill.
with woe they filled his cup.
While out along the foul line Uncle
Sam is warming upl
Yes, Uncle Sam is warming up to
mount the pitching hill
And show such sped and curves that
he will strike out Kaiser Bill;
This war machine to conquer worlds
will know the very worst

and beat his throw to first.
When Sims goes in to bat and sweeps

Yes, your Uncle Sam Is warming up,

Well be building baseball diamonds In

HERES YOUR CHANCE.

How many Red Cross Christmas
seals did you buy last year? VIII you
buy three times as many this year?
Unless every purchaser of Red Cross
seals triples his or her purchase this
wear the creation of a 100000 war
tuberculosis campaign fund will not be
possible.
The American Red Cross and tho
national association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis are making
n drive for the creation OF this fund
because Americas entry into the war
has revealed thousands OF hitherto
unsuspected cases Of tuberculosis that
must be cared for, and because every
precaution must be taken to safeguard
our troops abroad against the great
white plague.
Last year $l,O5O,O00 was made for
the eanti-tuberculosls campaign by the
sale Of Red Cross seals. This means
that los. 100000 holiday tokens were
sold. To raise the war fund of s3,0OO.-
900 II will be necessary TO sell 3OO.-
900 900 seals this year. and every man,
woman and child will have to help to
do this by trebling last years pur-
chases.
The buying OF Red Cross Christmas
seals Is not merely a humanitarian
act. 1t Is a patriotic act and one which
shows that the purchaser has the well
fare Of the country at heart.
Tuberculosis is as deadly a foe ia
our troops as German bullets and
bombs. 1t is undermining the civilian
life of this country and uniting men
for service In the army. Few Ameri-
cans realize that 1t is estimated by
physicians that two per cent, or 200.-
900 of the 100000 men subject 10
the selective draft, will be found to bs
victims OF this disease, and will there
fore be among the rejects"
These rejects" must be cared for
The men who so to war must be pro-
tected against infection. and the coun'
try must be kept free OF the scourgt
at a time when every ounce Of vitalit,
and energy are needed In the service
OF democracy.
"Will you do your duty by buying
more Red Cross Christmas seals thar
you ever bought before?" asks the sea
committee. Remember. every sea
provides ammunition in the figh
against tuberculosis"

PLAIN PHILOSOPHY.

Don't work till you're weary; you al
ways can quit;
II your Job is too tedious, forsake 1t,
Some fellow that's filled with a little
more grit
Ia always quite willing to take II.
He'll do all your work. and little bit
And grin and keep on when he's
tired.
without getting grouchy, or peevish or
sore.
And he'll land in your Job when
you're fired.
Don't spend all your time at the beck
of a boss:
II his orders annoy you, why. stop.
Some other young fellow Will come
right across
And do all the work in the shop.
He'll settle right down to the gruelhhs
grind,
And do things that you wouldn't try.
And II you observe him, youl pres
emily find
That he'll be the boss by and by.
Don't wear out your life in an effort
to rise,
1t is easy to stay where you are.
But lust keep your eye on the feliow
that tries
And you'll find he can go pretty far.
And maybe his name and his fame VIII

On the same cold and frosty ana uh-
happy morn
That you take your place In the

ING and All Worth Studying.
A SOLDIER BOYS DREAM
OF HOME.

A soldier boy lay dreaming.
And dreaming of his home;
He dreamed he saw his mother
In a saddened wearied tone.
He could see that she was weeping
For the boy across the sea
And, oh" he said to himself
Should she weep once more for
me?"
Then his vision wandered
And he heard his father sayi
'God, wilt thou give victory
To the good old u. 8. A. ?"
He saw the blue eyes OF his sister
So much like his own,
Then he saw younger brother
He had left at homo alone.
Once more he saw a picture
OF the one Oft brought to mind,
Twas n picture of a lassie,
The girl he left behind
In his dream his heart seemed sad
dened.
AS he now had dreamed of home
And his mother, sister. brother,
And his father sad and lone.
At this time something cheered him.
But his heart still seemed to choke.
And Ger him came the night
So at this time he woke.
He said, "I'd like to be there,
To my home so far away.
But III do the best l can while here
So l can go back home some day.

But YESTERDAY he shines the shoes,
His smiling zest he gave
To make them meet for idle steps
Upon the city pave.
And then he read the crushing news
That came from oversee,
The Teuton beast had sunk a clutch
Upon his Italy.
He went. He shines the shoes no more;
With fury for his goad
In mud and mire he makes them meet
For glory's narrow road.
