Those must have been Bethany boys
srorting about the city in new straw hats,
Yesterday. They were stylish young indi-
yiduals and carried themselves as only
college bows can. The hats looked cool,
but cool heads are as seryicesble In out
1itting professors and faculties as else
where.

be to formally receive the monument Will
be selected from this city and Will prooa'
Div be Democrat. Among the other ora

Talking about the justice or the injustice
of the verIict in the Devore case, it is
amusing to recall the expressions used by
counsel in the case. Counsellor Cracratt
pathetically referred to Nose as IAN over
grown boy" which provoked smile about
the room. Capt. DOyener made memo,
randum Of this on the back OF his Cuf, and
when his turn came ne said:
Nose how tall are you
six feet and an inch in my stOckins
What do you measure round the S'rth
"Forty-two inches
What do you weigh
Two hundred, To the ounce.
This makes up pretty good SIZED boy.
and now that DcyOre is innOcen., Craccatt
tells the story with great =usto.

the Elm Grove motor being under discus
