In trying to get out of harm's way Mr.

In his complaint the prosecutor states that he was a boarder at his sister-inlaw's home for three years and during that time gave her $420 for safekeeping, not having confidence in banks. Several days ago he had a quarrel with his sister-in-law and made a demand for the money.

She said that when she went to look for the money in a drawer it was gone. CHILD'S NARROW ESCAPE. The 4-year-old child of Frank Klose, the contractor, had a narrow escape from injury in a runaway.

Mayor Rinn today put the ban of Allentown officialdom on fortune telling. Grover Rutter, a steeple-jack of Pottstown, and Rudman Skean, a stenographer from the same place, were arrested for working the clairvoyant game on a bold and unique plan. Their method was for Rutter to hypnotize Skean, who, while in a trance, would tell the fortune of the customer, the scallawags doing a land-office business at fat fees. They had been chased out of Reading and other towns, and did not find Allentown a city of refuge any great length of time. The Mayor fined them $35 each and banishment, and announced that the fine for a second offense would be $75 and the case would go to the District Attorney if it were not discontinued.

Mayor Rinn declared Allentown would have to be purged of its unenviable reputation where fortune tellers reaped a rich harvest. HURT IN RUNAWAY John Christman and Harry Fatzinger, both of Emaus, figured in a lively runaway yesterday afternoon on South Fifth Street. Both men were hurt, Fatzinger being the most seriously. Christman escaped with a scalp wound and bruises about the body. ADVERTISE IN THE LEADER.

The young man was greatly but agreeably surprised to find on the margin of his notice an endorsement of his honesty in these words "So much for being honest." These examinations are exceedingly difficult and many who take it, through lack of preparation endeavor to bluff themselves through or else resort to unfair methods. The examiners are getting wise to such and as a result many are flunked annually. Mr. Hillegass, is a graduate uf Pennsburg High School, Perkiomen Seminary and Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. He has had considerable experience in his profession, working in Philadelphia and Manasquan, N.
