the police station tho men gave tho
names of Nathan Simmons, Jack Sim
mons and Solomon Cohen. They all

Lieutenant Carlln and the detectives
wend to tho South Sixth street house
last night. The lieutenant went to the
second floor, where the men were, while
the detectives remained below on guard.
Thn lieutenant said tho man agreed to
go quietly, when suddenly Nathan Sim
mons "covered" him with a revolver.
"Shoot him In tho head, Doc," the
lieutenant yelled, pretending assistance

Simmons turned his head, the police
say, and the lieutenant knocked the re
volver from his hand. A scume fol

and the three men were arrested. The
police say that Cohen was In bed when
they arrived and two blackjacks were

THIS BOY is happy and he has good reason to be. THE BOOK OF KNOWEDGLE has baen his
constant companion for a year and a half. No more lonely or idle hours. His teacher says he puts more
new ideas into his compositions than any other boy or girl in the class. History and Geography are not
mere lists of dates and names of places to him. He can tell you who were the leaders of the -eatest
periods of history, AND WHY. He can give you hundreds of interesting facts regarding the icfferent,
peoples of the earth, their habits and customs. He does not look foolish when you ask him why England
is so much warmer than Siberia, or how it is that the X-Ray can show you what is going on inside your
body. He is wide awake and thinking for himself, and he likes it. In the home THE BOOK OF
KNOWLEDGE furnishes him with all kinds of delightful entertainment and things to make and do
sports, games, carpentry, gardening and many fascinating and wholesome occupations. It will do all
this for your child. Do not keep your child waiting until another Christmas for THE GREATEST OF
ALL GIFTS FOR THE YOUNG.
