Collegian's Faith in
Gard Proved Justified

Henry Aston was very careful and
methodical-a circumstance that called
forth much good-natured teaslna from
his college roommate, Tom Bowers.
IF the card with your name and adj
dress that l just saw you putting in
your pocketbOok ever does q particle
of good, Hank" said Tom, please
let me know how, when and where.
You lose the purse and see how quick
you get 1t back!"
"Bet you that card would helpI" de-
clared Henry.
Bet you 1t wouldn't"
Some time later Henry's sailing
canoe upset, and Henry was rescued
after he had been in the water sew
eral hours. On removing his wet
clothes he discovered that his pocket
book containing twenty-five dollars
was missing. He could Ill afford to
lose the sum.
Never you mind, though" Tom com
forted him, some big kind fish is 60
ing to read that address card and
come waddling up here with your
money stuck right under his finl"
All that fall and winter knock at
their door usually elected from Tom
some such remark as, Hurry up,
Hank, hurry up Here's that obliging
old fish with your Wallet"
One warm day the following May
Henry received a letter bearing the
postmark of nearby town. AS he
finished reading it he uttered joyous
howl and thrust 1t under the eyes Of
his roommate.
Dear Mr.. Aston" the letter ran,
yesterday my wife asked me to pound
up some ice for ice cream, and while
using the mallet In vigorous style i
came across something black and pill
able-a leather wallet containing twen-
ty-two dollars In bills and card bear
ing your name and address. The case
is a little the worse for wear, but the
money Is o. X. A queer chance, my
finding the article, and I'd like to hear
the history sometime. Am returning
all to you intact by registered mail.
Yours truly, L. NJ. Hawkins."-Youth's
Companion.

SIGNATURES SENT BY WIRE

SIGNATURES SENT BY WIRE
FROM NEW YORK TO CHICAGO
Not only is 1t possible to send pho
tographs over the wires and have
them reproduced with the utmost fidel-
ity, but cartoons, sketches, finger
prints, music and specimens of hand
writing have been transmitted success
fully in this way between New York
and Chicago. Bankers are especially
interested in the results with hand
writing, as they foresee quick and
sure method of verifying signatures
on checks which have been sent from
far away and offered for collection.
Under the new system, when there is
any reason to doubt the authenticity
of the name on check, picture
can be taken of the signature and
flashed Immediately to the bank on
which the check is drawn, where it
can be determined at once whether
or not 1t is a forgery.
Court proceedings also may benefit
from the new process in the securing,
without delay, of exact reproductions
Of deeds, mortgages, dispositions, re-
QUESTIONS and other legal documents.

She Said So, Anyway

The young man who was endeavOr-
ing to win the favor of Hughes pref
ty sister met the boy on the street one
morning and greeted him with much
cordially.
do you think your sister was
pleased to know had called the 9th
er day. he was at last forced to
ask, bluntly, after several efforts to
guide Hughes conversation in that
direction.
"Sure!" said Hughie, with gratifying
promptness. II know she was
heard her say so.
"When she came home mother said
Mr.. Jones called while you were out,
and she said: He did? Well, l am

Fixing "Index Number"

The Index number is well-estab-
lished device commonly used for meas
uring changes In wholesale and re
tail prices, and rates of wages over
long periods of time. II is construct
ed by securing each month the prices
or rates of uniform list, at certain
specified places, and striking an av-
erage. Such numbers are usually re
duced to percentages. The lowest
price known is sometimes taken as a
base. or as in case of Investment
stocks, 100 is used.

Aged

when is man or woman Old?"
one man answers that question this
way: you are old, whatever your
age, when you automatically reject a
new idea with 4 don't believe it, Yoi
are old when the happiness OF others
no longer interests or gives yol
pleasure when l'fo looks gray, whom
you lose confidence IN human nature.
Concrete is old when 1t is hard ana
set. and II Is the same with the brain
OF man or woman."--From Heal, 3

Only a Dream,

Hubby listened intently. His wife
and her mother were talking. The
latter was saying: You have indeed
secured a splendid husband, and |
think you ought to treat him with a
little more tact and consideration.
Don't always want to know where he
is going, and If he comes home little
late, be agreeable and wait until he
explains before you begin asking a lot
of awkward questions. He's just the
sort to appreciate any generosity on
your part. Be kind to him."
Hubby stirred uneasily, trying to
hear more, when-he awoke.

LUTHER mayer
VISITS OUR CITY

Hon. Walter CHESHIRE who for the
past sixteen years has held the office
of Mayor of Luther was in the city
Friday transacting business and TAX
ing in the sights. During his official
career Mayor Cheesbro has succeeded
in bringing the streetcar company to
time, stopping the leak in the gas fran
chise, closing Mickey's place and abat-
ing in some measure the devilment
that used to be 80 common down on
Third street.
When he took office the frogs used
to sing continuously right within the
city limits there and it is needless to
say that they rendered the days hid
eous and the nights terrible. During
his term he aIleviAted that nuisance,
eradicated most Of the vice and sin,
promulgated several needed reforms,
psstercated tho city council and IRE
gated the symphony orchestra.
He states that he will not stand for
reelection even though there is an in
sistent demand that he will again
sacrifice himself on the altar of his
country. He iterates that official iifs
la simply too hard on the nerves ane
that he feels that he should retire ane
enjoy his few remaining years at hi
country place on Butcher Creek.
