oney Demanded as Ransom Is
Placed by Father In Garbage
Can bat Not Called For.
LEXINGTON. Ky., March 27. l'aul
Little, 12-year-old son of E. R- Little,
a local capitalist, was safe at home
last night while the authorities were
searching in several states for two
men who kidnaped the boy Wednes
day afternoon.
The lad was returned to his parents
this morning after he had telephoned
to his home from a hotel room, where
he said he had been imprisoned in the
bathroom for 38 hours. Often he said
the kidnapers threatened his life,
sometimes showing, him a revolver.
He said his only food was a little
fruit and a piece of cake.
His captors left the bathroom un
locked with morning and Paul said he
emerged into the room to find its
door locked. Then he telephoned and,
hln cicrer Bnawprinff the call, the bOY
screamed with delight. Soon iiiS
' father was at the hotel and burst into
the room and the boy rushed into his
arma. The bov said he had been lured
to the hotel by one of the kidnapers
on a promise of a dollar for deliver
ing a box of candy.
A note demanding a ransom of $25.
000 had been received by Mr. Little
and, although he announced he had
the money Thursday night in a gar
bage can as directed, the kidnapers
failed to appear, supposedly, the po
lice say, through fear of arrest.

You don't take the first thing
that is handed to you
Neither, do I!
I HAVE my own ideas about running a man's shop. And chief
among these ideas is this one: That I am paid by the community
I serve, to use the utmost discrimination in selecting merchan
dise, and not to take the first thing that is handed to me unless it is
the last word on the subject.
That is why I carry Hickey-Freeman clothes for men.
I have to carry them to keep faith with you.
I have to carry them to keep faith with myself.
They are a part of the unwritten agreement between us
That you shall have the best!
