8, BUT MISS $4,000 LOOT

NEW YORK, July 12.-Three
bandits invaded the James Butler
chain grocery, in Harlem, shot three

ly amateurs, fled.
John Owens, forty.two years old,
a collector for the company, was
taken to Harlem Hospital in q
critical condition, with four bullet
wounds. He had just come into
the store with $1,553.53 taken from
the days receipts in other stores,
and was about to add $500 already
in hand.

old, of 20 West Sixty-fifth street,
the store manager, was shot in the
right side and taken to his home.
Fitzroy Mccarthy was taken to

The Teeming Times
TINY TESSIE-

Back from the Vermont hills Of
green, grown fair with Aliens
fame,
The captain of our Ship of State
brings home a worthy aim
To carry on, though sorrow taxes
brain and heart and soul;
He still must walk upon the bridge,
his ship must seaward roll.
Great hearts must ever suffer much,
must struggle through great
strife;
Black hatred turks around their
door, keen. cutting like a knife.
Rejoicing with the multitude, their
grief they bear alone.
Nor seem TO count their fortitude
a virtue seldom shown.
With aching void OF loneliness that
never can be filled,
Two pilots guide the Ship OF State,
their sorrow must be stillad-
The populace forgets. and soon find
reasons TO rejoice,
Nor miss the glad some carolling OF
~ one remembered voice.
Back in a lonely mansion two souls,
with anguish torn.
Reuember-yet fill up their days
with duties they have sworn
To carry out--they carry on: nor
harshly rail at fate,
A nation should be thankful for
their gliding Ship Of State.
