LIKE THE ANGEL OF DEATH
No "Bolt or Bar or Brand" Can Shut
Out Merry Reporter Bent on
an Interview


an Interview.
The Hon. James Henry Smith, trust
magnate and profteer, sat in the ma
hogany and plush drawing-room of his
mansion at Stingem-by-the Sea and
smiled. For days the federal grand
jury had tried unsrccessfully to arrest
him for raising the price of red fan
mel underwear. For weeks his wife
had tried to serve a summons on him
to appear and pay back alimony. For
months a stenographer had been try
ing to collect a judgment for breach Of
promise.
Hon. James Henry Smith was en-
titled to smile. At Stingem-by-the-
Sea he was safe. Armed guards pa
trolled his grounds. Charged wires pro-
tected the entrances. Bloodhounds
shifted the pathways. There was a
which the Hon. James Henry held the
key. A detective sat in the hallway
with shotgun in his lap. Just out
side the draWing-rOOm door burglar
alarm was concealed under rug. Yes,
take it all in all, it seemed safe.
AS the Hon. James Henry unused, a
little, smiling individual appeared at
the front entrance. He jumped nimbly
over the charged wire, slapped the
captain of the guards on the back, pat
ted the bloodhound on the head, fitted
a duplicate key in the paddock, showed
a cigar in the detectives face, skipped
nimbly over the burglar-alarm rug,
and, pushing open the door to the
draWingro0m, stepped inside.
"Hello Jimmy" he said affably.
The banker rose heavily.
"WhO in h are you" he asked in a
hOarse voice.
The blithe, smiling individual
chucked his hat on table and pulled
out wad of copy-paper and a pencil.
"WhO, meY' he chuckled. I'm a
reporter. Nice place you have"
And the interview was on -
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

lie Didn't Care.

Pupils from Technical high school
were making the usual afternoon trip
to town on an overcrowded East
Michigan street car. Mr.. F1lrt was
also making the trip to town on this
particular afternoon, and from an adj
vantageous position was making eyes
at the girls.
"That fellow doesn't seem to care
who he winks at" suggested one Of
the feminine members of the crowd.
Then five seconds later: ooh, heav-

You, Too, Artists and
Art Students

The faculty for choosing the
right equipment and accessories is
a considerable help toward the
goal, one is striving for.
The Commercial Stationery
Store abounds in aidful things, in
cluding, of course, all the indis-
pensables. Here are stencil sets,
sets of oil colors, sets of water
colors, sets of drawing instruments,
oil colors and water colors in tubes
and pans, drawing paper, palettes,
easels, everything that the profess
sionals, amateurs, novices or even
child students will need to help
them along the interesting road OF
artistic achievement.
Also parchment paper for max
ing artistic lamp shades. And it is
no small help to be able to buy
any Of these things at 20 per cent
less than regular prices.

Fisk Bicycle Clubs
 Formed in the Nation

With number of auxiliary clubs in Canada, several in Hawaii, Puer- to Rica and India and a few in Eng land, France, the Philippines and Cuba. and a membership in the United States close to S0,000, the Fisk Bicycle clubs of America are en- toying the most successful season they have experienced since being founded in 1916. This is the world wide organization of bicycle riders between the ages of and 20 which is being fostered by the Fisk Rub Der company of Chicopee Falls, Mass, for the purpose of promoting bicyc- ling-the most healthful of all forms of outdoor exercise.

Bisbee daily review., 1920-07-18

ny is the only manufacturing concern in existence which is fostering such an organization, and this alone makes it unique. The company pulls abso- lutely no strings between the mem bers of the organization and its pro- ducts. It does not require them to ride Fisk tires. In fact, it never talks to the boys about itself unless it is asked especially to do so by one of them and then only the inquirer is informed. The company takes it's greatest delight in knowing that it is helping these thousands of young sters to grow up healthier men.
