Aged Man Reused Compass
sion When Elected From
B. & O. Train
WAS WELL SUPPLIED
WITH LONG GREEN
Would Have Let Sympathetic
Persons Provide For Him;
Caught By Purcell

The extreme difficulty in differenti-
are deserving" and those who graft"
upon their fellowmen when they have
no claims upon charity is often respon-
sible for the hoaxing of kind-hearted
souls who would be glad to play the
role of the good Samaritan, and it was
an incident such as this that came to
the attention of local officials Wednes-
day evening.
William A. Silcott alighted from a
B. & o. train from the west Wednes-
day evening in time to see the conduct
or inform an aged and feeble man that
if he couldn't pay for the privilege he
couldn't ride and then deposit him on
the platform at the depot.
Mr.. Silcott's compassion was aroused
and he "scraped an acquaintance" with
the man and was told that his name
was G.. A. Snyder and that he was
elected from the train because he had
no money with which to pay his fare
to Newark. Mr.. Silcott conducted the
old man to the local police station and
there explained his plight. Being ad-
vised by the police to consult with
Juvenile Officer Purcell, Mr.. Silcott
next took the man to the county Jail
and called Mr.. Purcell, who told them
that the stranger could be lodged in
the Jail over night
Before locking the main in Jail, how
ever, Mr.. Purcell made the usual
"frisking" his pockets and from the
inside of Snyder's shirt drew out
pocketbook well filled with bills and
small change, whereupon all hopes of
free lodging for the supposed va
grant vanished in thin air.
The man was conducted to a room
ing house and forced to pay for his
room and to promise that he would be
on his way to Newark Thursday
morning He failed to board the train
Thursday morning, however, and in
quiry developed that he had risen early
and left via "shanks' horses" without
leaving any address behind. And now
the kindly disposed Mr. Silcott is pom
dering over the philosophy of life with
respect to the needy and rapidly reach
ing the conclusion that "some are and
some aren't"

When Children Are Cross. Be Kind.

Don't be cross with children when
hey are cross. If they are irritable
gnd pouty leave them alone to their
ilues by trying to divert their atten-
~ to some interesting book or game
or toy. Get them outdoors to play or
to walk. Take them for ride. Ihe
sommon rctort to cross children Is In
being cross yourself, but this only
hurts the children and makes them
moody and later despondent.
