THREE YOUTHS FACE
SERIOUS CHARGES

Three youths, all of them less
thai fifteen years of age, are in
the county jail, each of them facing
serious charges for depredations
committed in Cody. One of the
isNs. William Roberts by name,
stands charged with the robbery
committed at the Dave Shelley Sad
dlery recently. The other boys,
whose names are being withheld
out of consideration of their youth
fulness and the fact that this seems
to be the first time which they have
been in trouble, stand charged with
having emptied out SIS sacks of salt
owned by the Home Supply and
selling the sacks.
The robbery at the Shelley shop
was committed last week and the
young man taken by the officers
Wednesday evening. He gained en-
trance to the saddlery by means of
a window and the mount of goods
consisting of two pair of boots, two
pair of chaps, a hat and a leather
jacket and other things, amounting
to more than a hundred dollars.
When arrested a part of the stolen
property was recovered, although the
jacket and boots, having been worn,
were of little value to Mr.. Shelley.
The lad after a great deal of ques-
tioning confessed to the thievery,
also admitting hat he had entered
the Howard Bell home during the
absence of the owners and secured
a small amount of cash contained
in a small bank. The property
which was taken was found in the
loft of a barn under lease by the
Armstrong family.
The Roberts boy is a friendly lad
and unusually intelligent. He has a
Sg~randfather near Beaver with whom
he has been making his home and
came to Cody on his own initiative.
Mrs. w. H. Loomis, who has taken
a great interest in him, states that
he has many commendable qualities
n feels that if he be given a
good home under proper environ
ment, that he has the markings in
him of a good citizen.
The local boys who dumped the
Home Supply salt were given a
hearing before the Justice of the
Peace and ordered to assist in the
~resacking of the salt and then be
returned to the court for sentence.
The boys sole reason for the de-
structive work was the sale of the
sacks, and it vas the unusual num-
Der of sacks which they offered for
sale which brough about their arrest.
Although the court wishes to be
lenient with these young offenders
it feels that something must be done
tofstop the wave of lawlessness so
predominant with the younger peo-
pie of Cody, and the sentences
which will be given will probably
give the youngsters food for thought
for some time to come.

Fear and Grandma Snow Never Got Acquainted

Grandma Snow, writes contribu-
tor, was tall, well-formed, as straight
as an arrow and as brave as any man.
We affectiOnately called her our major
general Like a real Spartan mother,
when in '62 her youngest son came
home detected because he had been
refused as volunteer because he was
under age, she promptly tied on her
bonnet and marched back with him
to the recruiting office.
'Now, see here, sergeant" she said,
"this boys heart is set on helping his
country as his brothers are doing. He
is well and strong and willing, and his
father and l think he shows a proper
spirit, and we give our full consent to
his enlistment. What is more, we are
both going to offer our services. You
can put my name down now as a
nurse for anywhere they wish to send
me-"
In later years when she was near
ing her eightieth year she journeyed
to a distant town to visit her son and
his family. She occupied a bedroom
off the parlor downstairs with another
member of the household. One night
in the small hours steps sounded on
the veranda-and the following con-
versation took place at breakfast time !:

CHAPTER V-Continued

In the clump of brush, close to the
outer fringe, behind a low, broad
boulder, man had lain on his belly
no longer ago than yesterday. Broken
twigs showed it, a small brush
crushed down told of it, the marks of
his toes in some of the softer soil
proclaimed it eloquently. And had
other signs been required, there they
were: two empty brass cartridges
where the automatic ejector had
thrown them several feet away.
While Judith visualized just what
had occurred, saw the tall man
he must have been tall for his boot
toes to scratch the earth yonder while
his ritie-barrel lay for support across
the boulder in front-restlng his gun
and firing down into the canyon-Lee
was back at her side, saying shortly:
"What do you think? There's a
plain trail up here, old as the hills,
hut tip-top for speedy going"
"And,' said Judith without looking
up "it runs down into the next sad
die, to the north of that ridge, curves
dSdlA anu Will al
along the way, runs straight to the
Upper End and comes down to the
northeast to the lake. It's the old
Indian trail. If the man we want
turned east, then he went right on to
the lake before he stopped putting
one foot in front of the other Unless
he hid out all night, which I don't be-
aieve."
What makes you think he went
that far?"
There's no other trail up here that
gets anywhere. Now" and she rose
swiftly, confronting him, "the thing
for you to do, Bud Lee, is to get back
to your horse, take the road, make
time getting to the Upper End and
see what you can see therew
Hurrying back to their horses,
they rode to the ranch-house where
Judith, with no word of adieu, left
Lee to go to che house. Lee made
late lunch, saddled another horse,
and when the bunk-horSe clock stood
at quarter of four, started for the
Upper End.
'That girls got the savvy,' was his
one remark to himself.

THE "CIRCULATENG STE
NOGRAPHER"

f<T HAD always wanted a business
i career" said the small-town girl
whose mother was too feeble to be
left entirely alone, 80 / decided to be
what / call a circulating steno.' Since
circumstances prevented my taking a
regular job have several employers
instead of one"
This ingenious circulating steno'
fitted herself for the work by means
of a correspondence course She Wis
it's the different offices on her list
there are ten Of them-and takes die
tation at each place. She makes 1t
a point to be at each Office on sched-
ule time, and, since her employers
know she can be relied upon to do So
she is seldom kept waiting; her
promptness conserves her own time,
as well as theirs.
For the small-town girl who can.
not leave home all day ; who knows, or
is willing to learn, stenography, here
is an opportunity. Business men who
do not have enough work to be done
to justify their employing full-time
stenographer will welcome part
time stenographer.
If she does the homework before
she starts to work each day, she will
probably leave home in the mid-morn-
Ing and return in the mid-afternoon.
She can type her letters at home, get
ting them done easily before six
o'clock. She can sign and mail them
in the evening. Should any one of her
employers discover additional letters
he wants sent out the same day, she
can take his dictation over the tele-
phone. In her home "ofice," she
should keep supplies of stationery
from each place of business she visits.
'The way to begin is to begin, =
simply calling on and applying to
those business men whose work she
thinks might justify their having some
stenographic work done, but probably
not full-time work. Some friend OF
the family may need little steno-
graphic work done regularly; he may
be able to suggest her name to other
business men who would be glad of
her services.
She may enlarge her field, as more
business men hear and approve her
plan, by employing other girls to
work under her. She would have them
report each day at her headquarters,
assigning them either to Offices on the
regular route, or to business men who
may have telephoned to have a spe-
cial piece of work done. There is a
big future for the circulating steno"
with ambition.
