AS Mason Mount, superintendent of
the Howe button factory, of Peters

his little daughter, Mary, age six, was
playing on the floor. Tiring of play,
she crawled to her fathers knee and
asked him:
Does the bad man get all the peO-
pie who are bad?"
The father, not looking up from his
paper and. a little provoked by the in
terference. replied, 81 suppose"
The child studied for a minute, and
then said:
Does lie burn them all Up? Some
little boys told me he did,
Again the father replied that he
supposed he did.
Again the child, not satisfied, asked
the father where they went after he
burned them all up.
The father, irritated. replied that
he supposed they all went to ashes.
The child studied for few: min
utes, and then said: Gee, he must
have an awful job carrying out ashes.

posted with Spurgin as security for
loans from the bank, but that the
president had used them for his per-
sOnal use.

ties, it Was learned, showed he had
carefully prepared for his departure.
During the past week he raised
$150,0O0 on the stock he owned in the
Michigan Avenue institution Cashier
Butel also said he had found that
Spurgin Withdrew $4,000 in cash,

Perhaps He Was a Rolshevik.

A cantankerous person, says the
London Morning Post, told the vicar
whom he had come to see on some
local matter that he was an atheist.
"But surely" said the vicar, "you
consider the Ten Commandments,
broadly speaking, to be an excellent
rule of life?"
No, L do not" replied the man al
most sayagely.
The vicar rang his bell. John,
said he to his servant, "show this man
to the door and keep your eye on him
until he is beyond the reach of my
hat and coat in the hail."
