$500 From Bank: They Get 1t

An argument arose between James
Shelton, 2020 Burt street. and four
unidentified men Tuesday after
noon, which ended in a wager, in
which the group bet Shelton he
could not draw $500 from the bank.
Shelton drew the money from the
bank, to win his bet, and when he
showed it to the four debaters they
strong armed him and took it all
away from him, he told police. The
money represented his life savings,
he declared.

 Put one hundred men on an island where fish is staple article of suste- nance Twenty-Five of the men catch fish. Twenty-Five others clean the fish. Twenty-Five cook the fish. Twenty five hunt fruit and vegetables. .sa
 So long as everybody works there is plenty. All hands are happy.
 Ten of the allotted fish catchers stop.
 Ten more dry and hide part of the fish they catch. #
 Five continue to catch fish, but work only part of the day at it.
 Fewer fish go into the kitchen.
 But the same number of men insist upon having the same amount of fish.
 The fifty men who formerly cleaned and cook ed the fish have less to do owing to the under supply of fish. But they continue to demand food.
 Gradually greater burdens are laid up on the fruit and vegetable hunters. These insist upon a larger share of fish in re- turn for their larger efforts in gathering fruit and vegetables. It is denied them and soon tw. nty of the twenty-five quit. But the entire one hundred men con- tinue to insist upon their right to eat.
 The daily food supply gradually shrinks The man with two fish demands three bananas in exchange for one of them. The man with two bananas re- fuses to part with one for fever than three fish. F. ..-
 Finally the ten men remaining at work quit in disgust. Everybody continues to eat The hidden fish are brought to light and consumed. Comes day when there is no food of any kind. Every body planes everybody else.
 What would seem to be the solution? Exactly We thought you would guess it.
 For we repeat that you can't eat, buy, sell. steal, give away, hoari, wear use. play with or gamble with what isn't.

WELLINGTON.

Mrs. B. c. Ruby and her sister, Miss Lillian Fenton, went last week to Grafton, Mass, to visit their aunt.
 Sunday was a perfect spring day, and in looking back it is remarkable how often it has occurred that Memo rial day has proved to be weather wise, the most charming of the whole year. .r..r.... .'.. ........-... .... ..
 The May Festival on Saturday after noon was very pretty affair indeed, and should be repeated as a feature of each welcome May time. If it be- came a matter-of- cele- bration and was held earlier in the month it would become something to look forward to and to practice for during the whole winter and would be cheering and educative.
 The decorations at the church on Sunday were the Preston -Brown-Allen Memorial flowers and were later taken to the old Hill cemetery. The services were of particular interest. Mrs. Allen Meyer was received into the church by letter and from the Sunday school by baptism, Ruth Josephine Davis, Laurence Gilbert, Lucien Ami- don and Harold Cushman The text of the excellent sermon was from the parable of the Rich young ruler. The music with Miss Coleman at the or gan, was beautiful.
 The exercises on Monday afternoon were a credit to all who participated. It should be remembered that it is the local w. c. T. U. that promotes this successful observance from year to year. The exercises were opened by one of Pastor Bachelors inspiring prayers There was singing of pa triotic hymns, with music by Ash lords Babcock band, that lent much to the patriotic enthusiasm of the exer- cises. The remarks of Mrs. Mathews of the w. c. T. U. were timely. The address by the Baptist state pastor at large, Rev. MT. Gates was of great power and interest. A Poem, "A True Incident of the Civil War" by Mrs. Preston was read effectively by Chauncy F. Reed, the only G. A. R. man in town. The march from the Hill to the cemeteries was led by c. F. Reed, Officer of the day, with Gardiner Hall, of the Worlds War, as aid; and Elmer Mathews as orderly. The pa rade was very pretty. The Girl Scouts, with their leader Mrs. G. F. Smith, and Mrs. Walter Gahon, all in regulation uniform, was a marked fea- ture and the boy Scouts were no less attractive and made themselves useful from first to last. There were sol diers in uniform also, our own boys, and long line of pretty school chill dren with flowers. The graves were decorated by c. F. Reed and Gardiner Hall and the drum sounded Taps At the cemetery there was a business meeting presided over by Mrs. Math- ews, where the reports of the commit tee having the matter of the soldiers monument in charge was held, partic- ulars of which will be given later At the close the procession returned in order to the Hill where ice-cream was served
