faithlessness of the man who had been
with him thirty years, going from a
salary of $4 a week to $9,000 a year,
decided that he could not see the
man’s wife find children suffer for

The proprietor of fie fur business

Some of these days you’re going to
put your hand down into the trash
heap and pull up a bag of gold or
diamonds! Thunk not? Well, Es

some ten and twenty dollar bills, two

sapphires, and the articles previous
ly mentioned, all in a small razor box
and wrapped It in a< paper hag. All

Diligent search of th city . trash

A Dog Worth Having.
The Pathfinder. •
William Korns, of Bonneville. Ind„
had a shepherd dog by the - name of
‘'Spot." S|sit had a bad habit of
eating the eggs ns fast as Mr. Koutz’s
flock of leghorn chickens could lay
them. This was too much for Mr.
Koutz, so he decided to give the dog
to a friend. This he did. but the
d'g came back. He gave the dog
away again—but the dog came back.
In desperation Mr. Koutz took the
dog (55 miles from home, dumped him
out of Iris auto chased him around a
hit. and threw rocks at him. Then
he got in his auto and stepped on the
accelerator and Si>ot was soon but a
spot in the distance. On reaching
home Mr. Koutz found that he had
lost fiis wallet containing a lot of
money. He belie vis I he had lost ib
while chasing the dug. but he decided
to wait until the next day before
going hack to look for it.
Bright and early the next day there
was a familiar poise at the hack door.
When Mr. Koutz opened it S)x>t
jumped into the room. The dog had
walked (15 miles over strange coun
try.land carried the wallet with fie
money intact in its mouth, back to
its master. Did Mr. Koutz keep Spot
after that ? Well, we guess !

ARRESTS BY MAIL ARE
CALLED LOOSE PRACTICE
Solicitor Powers Says He Will in
struct For it to Be Stopped. ’
< ’linton, Sept. s.—An over-zealous
effort on the part of a Clinton magis
trate to collect fines, from wnich his
fes are tWived, is -reported to have
done great damage to the reputation
of Sampson county. Motorists are
being advised to avoid the highways
of the county, and its law enforce
ment methods are appearing in State
pallet*!.
Disquieting rumors regarding
Sam|won’s officials in that respect
have been current for some time. Os
late, however, they have become
more noticeable, and within the past
few days news (stories in tile Wilm
ington Star and the Raleigh News
at.d Observer has been decidedly dis
creditable to Samp-on.
Solicitor .lames Powers, who was
in Clinton this week, was askisl for
an opinion oil these methods. He re
plied that while technically the ar
rest by mail might he legal, that it
certainly was a loose practice, and
should not be indulged in. He fur
ther volunteered that he would in
struct all magistrates to discontinue
such practice, and see that all parties
subject to arrest are brought into
court and given proper trial.
The condemnation of the arrests in
Wilmington is especially severe.
Travelers through that city are being
advised to use any other route than
Route 60 through Sampsooi, being
told that they will be arrestea here.
Members there of the Carolina Auto
club, a powerful state organization,
are reported to have appealed to
their State headquarters for aid in
making war on Sampson. Civic
bodies have also had the matter up
for consideration and Sampson has
coine in for much bad publicity,
which it will take many* months to
live down.
The letter cited by the Wilming
ton Star gave the name of the Clin
ton Justice of Peace, who under
takes to arrest by mail, as J. M.
Weeks.

Editor New York Mirroy : In regard
to the. May-Deeember romance, I
wish to state that mine lias been
one, ntnl 1 have never regretted it.
(iirls shfinld discredit all film foolish
talk about age. If you really love a
limn, die regard his age. A man who
is advanced in years knows enough
of tlie world to be npitreciatlve of
his younger bride, much more than a
man of less mature .years. The man
who has gone <sn in years realizes
that his first duty is to make home
pleasant, but the young men ot to
day. when they have been married a
little time and the glamor of romance
dies out, wish to return to the com
panions of single days, with the in
evitable result of the divorce court.
I believe that 'giro should marry
men many years older than them,
selves, vtho are better fitted to give
them a happier life than the majority
of the foolish love lorn voyths. *
