New York.-Elias Tieman aged 16, self-confessed embezzler of more than s3S,0O0, was recently arrested in De troit and brought back to this city.
 The police have dubbed him the 'one wise kid" He has genius for detail. If his companion, Steve Ostovich, had not harbored desire to see his foster parents in Detroit, the chances are the lone wise kid" would now be on his way to Egypt, or some other oriental country.
 Tieman, a former messenger for z. L. Prince company, New York bond brokers, disappeared Sept. 15, with $38,O worth of Liberty bonds he was carrying to q nearby bank. He had as accomplices two formSr sailors, youths little older than he.
 The robbery had been planned months before and every detail tend ing to his escape had been arranged, his photographs destroyed, belt buckles with individual initials bought to cor respond with the aliases for identifl- cation in case of unexpected trouble, and towns picked to hide in. Every detail was rehearsed, studied and per fected.
 SIP Pay Caused Crime.
 "I took the bonds,' said the "one wise kid" The reason is simple. got SIP week. They let me carry as high as half a million dollars in nego- tiabe securities. What else would one expect? Lots of boys in New York, who work after school hours, get only $7 week, and carry these fabulous sums about with them, with no guard, or check on their movements.
 'T have studied this thing carefully, and it is my conviction that many brokers in New York got their start in some dishonest way. Some took the method l used, others followed other ways, betrayal of trust, or information

BASE BALL GAME
HOTLY FOUGHT
Game Called At End of Seventh With
The Score A Tie. Many Errors.

In the absence of the foot ball team
base ball game was played upon the
upper athletic field last Saturday af-
ternoon at about four o'clock. Gordon
Hall and Taylor Hall furnished the
two contesting teams. When the dust
had cleared away it was found that
the score was tied at six all and UNI
pire Langston called the game on &C
count of darkness. Pete Wilson and
Sam Brister did the battery work for
the Gordon Hallites with Henderson
Varsity pitcher of last year working
the last three rounds for them. Drane
Lester and Temple went the entire
route for Taylor Hall. All of the tai
lies on both sides We're directly trace
able to errors and no one seemed able
to get his eye on the ball at the bat.
Coach Jernigen played nice game at
first for the Taylor team and Wilson,
Henderson and Lester all twirled
good brand of ball. Wood and Wilson
showed up we'll on the infeld Several
near catastrophes were narrowly av-
erted. At one time it seemed as if the
Taylor aggregation's left fielder was
going to be hit on the head by high
fly ball but he succeeded in getting
out of the way. Amsler at short for
Gordon did some nice footwork, sew
eral times saving himself from being
hit, by gracefully setting his foot up
on it's heel and thus protecting his
whole body. Henderson, Lester,
Wood, and P. Wilson all Of last years
Varsity were in the game and G. Jones
Rosenthal, Warner, Amsler and sevep-
al others of last years scrubs partlci-
pated in the melee. The battle ragged
fo~ seven innings and because of the
tie score will probably be resumed in
the near future.

They do me wrong who say l come
no more,
When once l knock and fail to find
you in,
For every day 1 stand outside YOU
door,
And bid you wake to rise and fight
and win.
Wall not for precious chances passed
away,
Weep not for golden ages on the
wane;
Each night l burn the records of the
day.
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like boy at splendors that
have sped.
To vanish joys be blind and deaf and
dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past with
it's dead,
But never bind moment yet to come
Tho deep in mire, wiring not your
hands and weep;
I lend my arm to all who say, ~ can!'
No shame-faced outcast ever sank so
deep
But yet might rise and be again a
man!
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retribu-
tons blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of
the past,
And find the futures pages white as
snow.
Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from
thy spell,
Art thou sinner? Sins may be for
given,
Each morning gives thee wings to flee
from He'll,
Each night star to guide thy feet
to Heaven.

 It is regrettable that there is not a better attendance at the Com mercial Association meetings.
 Do the people oS this town, the majority of them, care nothing about the towns welfare? If so, it were better the town had never been started.
 Twelve members compose a quor- um of the association. At nearly every meeting about half this num- Der may be depended upon to at tead. Then these faithful six get out and SCOUT the town for six more to make up quorum. This is d sad state of affairs. There should be an attendance of at least 100 at each meeting. Every inter- est of the town should be repreoen- ted.
 After awhile, when the town is incorporated, we will all pick out a few citlRens to make laws for us, and call them councilmen. Then when they do something which is not to our liking, we will write let terS to the newspaper denouncing them in bitter terms and wondering why we ever elected them. Never theleSS, as election time rolls round the "Outs" who hoWled the loudest will be the most anxious to be num- bered among the "Ins." They will be willing to take the abuse they handed to others.
 Just now, every person in town can nave say as to the govern !nent of the town. We can all be councilmen. The Commercial As sociation was organized as med ium through which concerted ac- ton may be taken. Great good has already been accomplished by the association and the ball has only just been started rolling Progress may be reported on every project undertaken Even the boneheads who run the postoffice department are being kept alive to the fact that Hyder is very much on the map.
 This paper was asked Unofficial ly) at the last meeting to roast the community, so the community may now consider itself properly roast ed. But in all seriousness, MT. Man and Mrs. Woman, isn't the welfare of the town of any interest to YOU?
 You answer yes? Then prv,e.,.
 Have voice in the Commercial Association proceedings.
