did. And I do.
I do say that the best way to make

not a kindergarten of sobriety. Your chil

JELDAY OF TRAIN ROBBER. m
idents of Old Times in the Young U
Southwest. M -j
Train robbing was the topic of dis- fl
sion. There were three men sit- n
g about a table on a dining car ^
t reeled off the miles across the
ert country of Western Texas. One
the 'group, a large, clear-eyed
n, was the superintendent of a
11-known division of the Southern
nfic railroad. For some time he
1 sat silent, listening to the disysion
of a recent hold-up of a
lisville and Nashville train, near
w Orleans. With .some of that ^ *
)d-natured tolerance with which ^
westerner feels for the "downerner"
he allowed his section of
States to be handled pretty
;gh. Finally, however, he broke
d the conversation:
'I see that train robbing is fast
ting to be on a par with football _
I other popular sports back in the j ~~
t." There was no denial, and he
ceedcd:
'Don't do things in quite the same
y as the bandits that used to op- ^
te.out here did. It looks as if the W

Hatchery for Robbers.
'Down here at a point between El (
