Cow Helps Balk
Kidnapping Attempt

West bank robbery

In one instance a cow helped to
prevent a robbery, while in another
a MONDAY factory whistle proved the
undoing of two would-be robbers.
At Camp Point, Ill, a gunman call
ed at the home of Newton Pierce,
father of Earl c. Pierce, cashier of the
Farmers State Bank, saying he intend
ed to kidnap his son and rob the bank.
The elder Pierce told the intruder he
had to milk a COW. His visitor let him
go.
Outside, Pierce telephoned the Sher-
if. Becoming suspicious, the stranger
fled.
A factory whistle footed just as two
men ordered the cashier of the Penn
vile State Bank of Pennville, Ind,
to surrender the banks money. Mis-
taking it for a burglar alarm, they
fled, but were captured by passers-by.
They gave their names as Lester
Walker and Paul Garwood, both of

Would Reduce Salaries
OF Members OF Congress
From $4,000 To $500

Washington.-Rep. Allen Towner
Treadway of the first Massachusetts,
district would reduce the salaries Of
members of Congress from $4,000
to $500. That would be putting the
pay back to where it was when 1t
jumped to the present size. He has
started a movement to that end. Hi
points out that with $4,000 straigh,
salary, $4,000 for clerk hire, and mile
age, stationery, and other incidentals,
not counting Offices and mailing
franks, a congressman receives about
$4,000.
Mr.. Treadway, a leading dry, and
prominent Republican, is actively en-
gagged at the task of persuading fellow
members of the House that they should
set the example Of trimming to meet
changed conditions. His efforts thus
far have not met with a cordial re-
ception.
although / have received practi-
cally no encouragement of support, /
still believe that this question of re-
ducing congressional salaries should be
taken seriously" said he.
Mr.. Treadway opposed the increase
when it was voted. He is a man of
means, and is not. altogether depend
emit upon his compensation from the
government.
There are two theories about the
increased pay of congressman and its
effect on the personnel of the two
houses. One is hat since the salary
raise a great many small calibre men
seek the job, knowing that they could
o make hat much back home. The
other and opposite is that it has induc-
ed men of higher type and more abil-
ity to aspire to Congress. The train
ed onlooker here is inclined to agree
with the first group, that it has low
cred instead of raised the standard.
Men take the office for the pay rather
than the honor.
A report from the Department of
Labor says that the cost of various
articles of food combined shows a de-
crease of 1917 per cent August IS,
1881, as compared with August IS,
1880, and an increase of 0.6 per cent
August IS, 1881, as compared with
July 81, 1881.
From August IS, last year, to Aug
ust IS, this year, prices of important
food products fell as follows: sirloin
steak, II per cent; round steak, IL;
rib roast, II; chuck roast, 16; plate
beef, FL; sliced ham, IA; leg of lamb,
II; fresh milk, IA; butter, II; butter
substitutes, %; cheese, y; fresh eggs,
10; bread, IS; flour, "a; corn meal,
IS; beans, 81; potatoes, %; ONIONS,
II; peas, IA; sugar, 7; coffee, 10; Or
anges, Al, and so on.
Mr. Treadway contends that with
the drop in the cost of commodities
congressman should return to the
former scale of pay. He said that he
would keep up the fight.
North Carolina members of the
House get a total of $170,0o0,. &C.
cording to Mr.. Treadway's figures.

If YOU R RICH

/. Seek peace of mind-refuse te
regard wealth as either a burden OF
a barrier.
2. Study your health, for it is the
physical foundation of happiness, as
peace of mind is the spiritual. Wealth
does not exempt one from human
iIsi
; walk a mile for every 10 you
ride. Exercise and fresh air are essen
tial to health. The former demands
discipline and self-control, neither of
which is always easy for the rich.
4. Avoid luxury and ostentation.
Both are vulgar and tedious, and lead
straight to boredom. Be thankful for
the pleasures of travel. In these mod
ern days they are the most justifable
luxuries wealth can procure.
s. Be generous-in spirit as we'll as
deed. Give frequently and habitually;
wisely if possible, but, even if discrim-
nation fails to protect you from oc-
casionally helping a bad case, go on
giving.
6. Work! Don't imagine that
wealth gives you the right to be idle.
1t gives you the power, but 1t is a
power better unexercised.
7. Live gaily and eagerly. Be inter
ested and enthusiastic about something
worthwhile.
8. Serve your friends, and be-
friend those who serve you.
9. Consider the feelings of Others.
This is one of the virtues that the
rich man particularly needs to cult
vate. The lack of it deprives life OF
warmth and joy. ,
10. Cultivate a sense of humor and
a sense of proportion. Laugh at your
self as often as may be, and particu-
larly laugh at your wealth. Remind
yourself that your good fortune is
probably greater than your merit.
IF YOU ARE POOR
l.. Again, seek peace Of mind. Re-
fuse to regard limited means as a bur
den or a barrier. Remember that the
choicest things Of life are without
price.
2. Study your health. Exercise,
fresh air, and sunshine, simple food and
fruit-these are all at your command.
3. Marry early rather than late;
undue caution takes the trst bloom
off married happiness. Youth, courage
and love go together,
4. Value the comradeship OF your
nearest and dearest. Remind yourself
every day of what it means to you
Fight against one all-too-common
fault of taking the precious friend
ships of life for granted.
5. Don't think o much about
the smallness of your income; be very
sure that it would be wealth indeed
to thousands of others less fortunate
&. Always try to pay your way
To be in debt is miserable, as Dickens
once so clearly demonstrated.
7. In your work, remember that In !
the long run intelligent study and
acknowledgment are worth while.
g., know your own job, and know
something about the whole OF the
business or industry of which it IS
bart. To be thoroughly competent Is
one aspect of happiness.
