A paper baling press has been pur- chased by the ctty and this will be placed on a wagon. The wagon will be driven through all the alleys in the city and the old paper picked up and put in the press. The baled paper will be sold and, although the price for old paper is not very high, In a year's time it will amount to eonsiderable.

A BAD SUP* In his*speech Thursday before the Children's Day association in their an- nual tea at the Hotel La Salle, Mr. !&ertoau£.^gBleyt J|4Se Orrington avenue, by his presence/* of wit, re- called himself just in time during the speech he made, to rectify an almost unforgivable blunder. He said: "I know you women can't vote yet, but you will. But I am not sure you cant do as much in this case without tfie vote asâ€"" He was Interrupted by cries of "No! No!" from the suffrage leaders. "I didn't mean that," he re- sumed quickly, "I meant that in spite of the unfair disadvantage under which you women labor you still can do a great deal" L-^!*"-. NOT HER FAULT. "I am very sorry, Captain Snob, ti»at circumstances over which I have no control compel me to say no." "May 1 ask what the eireumstancee arer* "Yours." Life seems to be a serious problem with some people. Why worry? The Golden Rule is a pretty good pre- cept to follow. As a square deal it cannot be beaten. plolts that Turpintflgures as a nisxonc blackguard. Hereâ€"as well as truth can be separated from fancyâ€"is the usually accepted story of bis life: •.. Richardâ€"or bick^Turpin was bprn at Hampeteadv England, in September, 1709. His parents were p<K>r. They apprenticed him in early youth to a butcher. But Dick took a more than neighborly interest in other people's cattle. At last he was caught steal- ing steers that had been sent to his employer for butchering. To steal cattle in those days was a "hanging offense." + Turpin^ fled - for his life, scoring the first of his many escapes from justice. He Joined a gang of thieves and became their leader. But he soon tired of associating with rascals of duller brains than his own. More- over, their blunders or treachery •might add to his own danger. So he left the gang after he had learned all thV villainies its members could teach him. Sometimes, In later days, he would employ one of his old comrades as an accomplice. But most of his crime* were committed single-handed. He became a highwayman and his name quickly, spread terror throughout the whole countryside. Railroads and telegraph were not yet invented. News traveled slowly. So did everything. Now and then a massage or letter was carried fast across country, on horseback, wi$h relays of speedy horses waiting from point to point. But the usual mode of travel was over heavy Toads in a heavier stage coach. There were lines of stage coaches drawn by four horses. Passengers filled the roof and body of the vehicle, while a guard, armed with a blunder- buss, sat beside the driver to protect the lives and valuables the coach car- ried. Gentlemen of wealth had pri- vate coaehea in which they traveled between their country homes and Lon- don. Naturally, the coaches often held large sums of money and Jewelry, and the passengers were in the habit of carrying plenty of cash with them. All thle made the stage lines favorite haunts for highwaymen. A coach would rouneVa turn In th road to confront a masked hors^ whose leveled pistols threatened t guard even, while his disguised voice croaked: "8tand and deliver!" Often the masked man would overawe the passengers, make them line up in the road, rob them and the coach, then Jump on his horse and gallop away with his plunder. Before the police could be notified he was usually many miles away. Turpin was one of the most daring of these highwaymen. Not content with robbing pasengers, he would of- ten play quaint tricks on them. If his demands for money were resisted h« had no scruples about sending a pistol bullet through his opponent's brain. Altogether there was much brutal crime and little poetry about him. The most picturesque of Turpfn's feats was bis famous ride from Lon- don to Yorkâ€"an adventure whose truth some writers doubt. Dick had committed an atrocious robbery near London. Knowing he was recognised, he set out to secure an aUbL Mount- ing his mare. Black Bess, he galloped to York. The distance was 200 miles over bad roads. The Journey usually took four days. Dick made it in fif- teen hours, and his mare dropped dead as he reached York. When Tur- pin was arrested for the London rob- bery he proved by reliable witnesses that he bad been loafing about the York siiccta fifteen boors after the _____ fact that seemed to forbid his having reached there by natural Therefore, it was decided he be tanoeent. at York AnrO Evanston Interdenominational Committee on Missions Held ATTENDANCE LARGE Members of the Evanston Interde- nominational committee on missions are busy making plans for the Sum- mer School of Missions, held every year at Winona Lake, Ind.
