2 HONEST BOYS
FIND SAVINGS

Kansas City, Mo.-A small, elderly
woman, Mrs. w. L. Waller, recently
recovered a black cloth sack contain
ing $595 because of the honesty of
two school boys who found it beside
a walk on which they played.
Mrs. Waller, wearing a long fray
ed coat and a black shawl over her
head, was grief-stricken when she dis
covered the loss of the money. She re-
ported it to the police.
"It was all William and l had a v
ed for years." she said. 'sWe have no.
thing else except the small house we
,liye- in. I don't know what we'll do
if we do not find it"
The next day Jesse Burke and Cleo
Toothman, accompanied by Mrs. Mary
Burke, mother of Jesse, took the mon
ey to the police station.
Mrs. Waller gave the boys $40 each,
but the lads were reluctant to accept
it. She insisted and kissed them both.

An assessment was made on the
various candidates to furnish sufficient
