LITTLE BIT OF EASY MONEY
cIubman Knew Well What He Was
Doing When He Made the Bet
With His Friend.

In an Office building in the down.

upper floor, with an express elevator
service for members, says the New

two men emerging from the dining
room consulted the elevator floor indi-
Gator. The arrow moved In two shifts,
one of them the club elevator express.
'It's wonderful how much time q
man can save by these expresses" re-
marked one of the pair.
Nonsense" said his companion; ~
can get to the bottom on a local and
beat you"
"Bet you ten dollars you can't" was
the reply.
The cages in both shafts opened
with a click, and without further par
ley the two men entered different ele-
vatOrs. The local got away frac-
ton Of moment ahead Of the ex-
press. When the man in the express
stepped out on the ground floor his
acquaintance was waiting for him.
"HOw did you do it?" gasped the
express passenger, digging down for
the forfeited banknote.
Easy" said his companion. 81
gave my elevator man half the bet
In advance-and he didn't make any

Average Mans Honesty

A banker who, for the first time In
his life, has come into intimate con-
tact with pOverty-stricken folk, says:
1.-The average man wants only half q
chance to be honest"
This is a thing worth learning, re-
marks the Toledo Blade. But 1t did
not require visits to the slums to find
it out. A little thought would have
served as well. The mass Of people
is constituted Of average men. The
mass has the power to do whatever it
wills to do. It could, II 1t wished.
rise in the night and strip the rich
bare, and since 1t is the mass that
represents the majority will. it could.
so far as the law Is concerned, go un-
punished.
But the average man is honest. The
mass wants nothing Of bloodshed and
robbery. Those who possess are safe
from those who have nothing. Our
banker friend who visited poverty row
used his eyes. His remark shows
that, for most Of his years, he hadn't
on this particular subject, used his
brains.

secret intrigue planned with the Brit

Point and the entire water line OF
the Hudson river to the enemy, and
was only thwarted in his attempt by
the timely capture Of Major Andre,
q spy, entrusted with the papers.
Major Andre was tried and executed
for his disloyalty, while Arnold es-
capped to England. and died in OBJ
country by all of King Georges sub
jects.

Ohio. espoused the Confederate cause
and made a speech in congress con-

Burnside, then commanding the army
tried by military commission, found
guilty, and banished frcm the coun-
try and died, unloved urhonored and
