With Apologies to George AIDE.

Once upon a Time there was a Bust
ness Magnate who had acquired his
dough by trading in small commodi-
ties which netted a profit of about
Two Per Cent.
Into the office of the Great Man
came there one morning Bond Sales
man with proposition which would
net the Magnate a trif1e over Three
Per Cent. After duly dignified greet
ing, the ,Magnate crossed his hands
over his chest, and listened to the
spiel
After it was all over, the Great
Man spoke thusly: There are a
great many things to be considered
depreciation, overhead expenses, and
falling off in values in general. I
will have my Experts look into the
Proposition and later will communi-
cate with you in Proper Form. Good
day"
And the Magnate went back to his
Morning Mail.
The next Caller was an Individual
from the Far West. He wore High
Boots a long tailed coat and hair
down on the Collar. He tip-toed about
the Office, pulling down the shades
and plugged the Keyhole with a Chew
that had lost it's Usefulness. Then he
pulled Solid Gold Nugget out of his
pocket that he had found in Lonely
Gulch in Death Valley.
The Magnate began to Tremble like
an Aspen, and bought 1000 shares in
the Mine under the personal guaran-
tee of the Miner that it would go to
Par before January First.
Moral-Buy U. S. war bonds and
play safe.

Sheriff and Hangs Him.

Heathsville, Va, Aug. 17.-Wi,-
liam Page, a negro, was lynchen
Wednesday night at Lillian, a small
village near here, by 500 masked
men, who took him from the custody
Of Sheriff Headly and Magistrate

the ground, where she fought with
the negro and saved herself only by
rare presence of mind. Pretending
to see a neighbor approaching in the
gathering darkness. she called to him,
and the negro took to his heels.
The attack occurred almost with
in sight of the Truitt home, and in
few minutes her father had armed
himself and went in search of the
assailant. He quickly found Page at
a nearby store, took him in charge
and telephoned for the sheriff OF the
county.
Sheriff HeadIy and Magistrate
Cralle rode in haste for the prisoner
and secured him only to find them
selves surrounded by an orderly but
rrimlv determined mob of about 500
masked men.
The officers pleaded with the mob
to allow the law to take its course
but to no avail. The negro WAS taken
from them, allowed to see his mother
and wife for few minutes then was
taken in an automobile to the heart
Of a nearby negro settlement where
he was swung Up to an oak tree IN
