STRAIGHT TALKS
: WITH AUNT EMMY
On Signing Papers for Strangers


"Dld you hear about the terrible
thing that happened to Mrs. Thomp-
son. Aunt Emmyf" asked Maud 1T
seems that a man came to see her to
ask her to invest In some securities
his firm was selling. and she said she
did not have any ready money. He
asked her II she had some Liberty
Bonds, and she showed him her one
Liberty Bond. q thousand dollar one.
He told her that there were a number
OF counterfeit bonds about and upon
examining her bond said there were
some marks that Indicated IL might be

tell her what TO do about 1t.
HE told her not TO be unduly alarm.

was mistaken His firm was indig
nant he said. about the counterfeit
bonds that had been foisted on the
public and intended to do everything
In Its power to run down the culprits
They employed a man who was an
authority on counterfeits and he could
tell in a minute II her bond was good
or not SO Mrs. Thompson let him
have the bond TO take to his Office for
examination"
And, of course. be didn't bring II
back" commested Aunt Emmy
Worse than that" Maud went on
HE said that. being a widow. she
should be very careful In her business
dealings, so he made her sign what he
called a receipt. although she didn't
read It. About week after his visit
she received number OF shares OF
stock that she says she never heard
of and certainly never bought. So she
wrote to the investment house the
stock came from and said she thought
mistake had been made. Imagine
her surprise when she was Informed
that she had signed an order for those
shares OF stock in exchange for a ST..

First she was coming right over TO
see you and then decided not to. be
cause she felt ashamed when she re-
membered that you had warned her
about being taken In. now that Mr..
Thompson is dead and she has to han
die her own business affairs My
brother Tom says he thinks nothing
can be done about it, as the receipt
bearing her signature is really an or.
der for the stock"
Il am sorry to hear this. Maud"
said Aunt Emmy. What pity she
did not take her bond to the bank TO
have 1t examined If that slick sales
man aroused suspicious In her mind
as to its genuineness She would have
been dealing with people of integrity
whom she could trust absolutely And
yet she allowed herself TO be duped
by perfect strangeri
"Yet there must be lot OF that sort
Of thing when you consider that over
5000 100000 year il being taken
away from the honest people In the
United States by stock swindlers II
the people would only learn to trust
the guidance OF their financial affairs
to their banks and never sign any
thing they have not read and do not
understand. there would be less un.
happiness about money matters"

Slain BY Auto Bandits

Chicago.-Gunmen's bullets claimed
another victim. Patrolman Patrick
McGovern of the Town Hall station
was slain in daring daylight robbery
by three automobile bandits who es-
capped with loot of $4,000, representing
two days receipts of the Pantheon
theater.
The murder and robbery were COM
mitted in full view of crowds of shop
pers, pedestrians, school children and
scores of motorists rolling along in
the stream of boulevard traffic.
McGoverns died with his hand on his
pistol-died in an effort to save the
money intrusted to him to carry to a
bank The bandit fired without a

gun. McGovern dropped, the fifth Chi
cago policeman in IS days to fall in

men.

II those vague characteristics called

distinction, attractiveness, fascination,

known as charm; and If the possessor
of that quality is accounted fortunate

The experience of Mrs. ]. c.
Dacus, 1621 Booker ST., Little Rock,
Ark, was not an unusual one. 1t
was in fact repetition of what
has happened in thousands upon
thousands of instances. She had a
running condition of the ear from
the time she was three years old.
In spite of treatment it per-
sisted and became very offensive.
One day neighbor recommended
Pe-ru-na and La-cu-pia which had
relieved his wife of the same
trouble.
Mrs. Dacus used three bottle of
each of these quick acting reme-
dies and reports that the discharge
and offensive odor are both gone.
Her disease was one of the very
many forms taken by Catarrh and
is known as chronic Otitis.

have 'em. That's almost as good isn't
it?"
Dirk commenced his studies at Mid
west university in the autumn of 1909.
His first year was none too agreeable,
as is usually the case in first years
He got on well, though. Before the
end Of the first semester he was popu-
lar. He had great natural charm Of
manner The men liked him, and the
girls, too. He rarely "cut" a class. He
would have felt that this was unfair
and dislOyal to his mother Some of
his fellow students joked about this
faithfulnesS to his classes. Person
would think you were an Unclassi-
fed they said.
The Unclassifieds were made up,
for the most part, of earnest aud
rather middle-aged students whose
education was a delayed blooming.
They usually were not enrolled for q
full course, or were taking doubls
work feverishly.
The professors found them a shade
too eager, perhaps; TOO inquiring; de-
handing too much. They stayed after
class and asked innumerable cues
lions. They bristled with interroga-
ton. They were prone to hold forth
in the classroom, "Well, l have found
it to be the case In my experience
that"
But the professor preferred to do
the lecturing himself. If there was
to be any experience related it should
come from the teachers platform, not
the students chair.
In his first year Dirk made the al
most fatal mistake Of being rather
friendly with one of these Unclassi-
tieds-a female Unclassifed, large,
good-humored, plump girl, about thir-
ty-eight, with shiny skin which she
never, powdered and thick hair that
exuded a disagreeable odor of oil.
She was sympathetic and jolly, but
her clothes were a fright, the CLASH
feds would have told you, and no mat
ter how cold the day there was al
ways a haIf-moon of stain showing
under her armpits. She had a really
fine mind, quick, eager. balanced, al
most judicial. She knew just which
references were valuable, which use
less. Her name was Schwengauer-
Matte Schwengauer. Terrible!
She and Dirk got in the way OF
walking out of the classroom together,
across the campus. She told him
something of herself.
Your people farmers!'' Surprised.

Gators Still Flourish

What is possibly the largest ALI.
gator seen for some time in the vicinity
of Lakeland, Fla, was captured alive,
but only after being wounded from
rifle bullets near Lake Gibson recently
by two young men. The gator is a
monster of species, reports the Star
Telegram, measuring - feet AZ
inches from tip to tip. 1t is said to
be about 300 years old and weighs
over $50 pounds. The lucky captors
expect to receive $500 for it.
