Take The Papers

Why don't you take the papers?
They're the light of my delight,
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe! You cannot lose a cent /;
Why should you be afraid?
For cash thus paid is money lent
At interest four-fold paid.
Go, then. and take the papers.
And pay today, not pay delay,
And my word for it is inferred,
You'll live until you're gray.
An old neighbor of mine,
While dying of cough.
Desired to hear the latest news
While he was going off.
I took the paper and I read
OF some new pills in force.
He bough a boX-and is he dead /:
No-hearty as a horse.
I knew two men, as much alike
As e'er you saw two stumps,
And no phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the papers, and his life,
Is happier than kings;
His children all can read and write,
And talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While stroling through the woods.
A tree fell down and broke his crown
And killed him-'yery good"
Had he been reading of the news,
At home like neighbor Jim,
I'll bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because you borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the paper,
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too.

AUTO BANDITS
ROB JEWELER
Five Men In Broad Day light Smash
Armiger's Window In Baltimore,
Making GETAWAY With Loot
Worth So, 900.

A young woman it was learned
accompanied five armed men who
drove to the jewelry store of the
James r. Armiger Company, 80
North Charles street. in an auto
mobile at 1910 o'clock yesterday
morning, smashed the plate-glass
window of the store, stole $25, 900
worth of diamonds, shot down a
citizen who tried to block their path
and escaped.
The news spread rapidly and all
roads leading out of Baltimore were
watched and the police of cities and
towns nearby were notified, but no
machine bearing the description of
the highwaymen's car was seen.
Two of the men were Unidentified
by witnesses of the affair through
photographs in the hands of the
police.
The street was crowded when the
robbery and shooting occurred; a
dozen or more persons saw both.
but were 100 surprised to make any
move and the lives of several pedes-
trians and autoists were endangered
by shots fired by the bandits.
The men are believed to make up
the same gang that committed two
similar robberies in Philadelphia.
Charles E. Williar, of Govans,
sales manager of the Grant Motor
Car Company, is the man who was
short. He drove his machine in
front of the touring car in which the
gunner were escaping in an effort
to stop them, but to no avail.
The men used a Ratchet with which
to schatter the plate glass display
window. They went at their task in
such matter of fact manner that Mr..
and Mrs. A. L. Baker, of Aberdeen,
who were leaving the store, stood
still in the doorway looking at them
but hardly able to believe that the
store was being robbed. Mr.. Baker
could have grasped the men, so near
were they to the front door, but |
their daring utterly dismayed every
one who might have been instru-
mental in their capture.
Mr.. Baker craned his neck as far
as possible and noted the number of
the car used by the robbers.
Within the store officials of the
Company, clerks and the customers
stood paralyzed. The robbers it is
claimed pressed pistols against the
doc panes and kept anyone from
making a move to battle the robbers
which goes to show that they are
not amatures at the game, and that
they are running no risks unneces-
Sary.

PAR POINT COLLECTIONS
SWEEPING THE COUNTRY
Interesting Map Issued by Federal Reserve
Board Shows That Bank Checks Are
Collected Free In al States.

The Federal Reserve Board has
just issued a very interesting map
showing the progress of the move
ment inaugurated some years ago
for the collection of all checks at
face value through the federal re-
serve system.
In the initial stages of the par col
lection there was considerable opposr-
ton from small banks and some of
the large institutions who saw in the
very severe loss in their revenue
through exchange charges-fees for
the collection of checks, some even
going So far as to insist on COL
lection charge on checks drawn on
their own banks.
Gradually the advantages OF haV-

undertaken the task of making the
country a par payment nation, press

There were mossbacks who fought

of them are not SO old, but they are at
least welded to their exchange pronts

A look at the map will show how
the system is gradually wiping out

world over.
Number Of Banks
Also the map shows the number of
banks in each state, including all
banks, which may furnish some sur

any one that Iowa has twice as many

than any other state in the Union, or
that Texas has more than Ohio.
A study of the map will furnish
other interesting features.

STEEL SHOWS F|RMER,
IRON AND COPPER BRISK

NEW YORK, July 17-Whether the
steel industry will be able to main
tain an equal rate of production and
shipments this month with the record
for June is the question being dis

responsible for the hardening of the
market.
Continued large demands for cop

The tin market is steady because
of the firm condition of British tin
