individual that he would have to go

abusive with the officer and in conse-

his wrist and he accompanied Adelsper-

walls he became furious and destroyed
the bunk in his cell and twisted one of
the iron bars as though it were willow
rod. He eventually cooled down, paid
his fine and went home quietly.

The Very Chaps.

Brother Bangert of the Falls Creek
Herald, ,editorially expostulated recently
on the absurdity of young man falling
down on his knees before fair maiden
whose hand he sues as help-mate in
steming the turbid waters of life's vast
ocean OF difficulties. We think the
Herald man writes, not from his own
experience, but from the experience Of
some fellow who married during his
'calf-lOve" season, when he is more OF
fool than man. Bro. Bangert, when
you see couple that indulge in the
"tootsy wootsy business" as you call it,
before they are married, you can count
on nine out Of ten such contracts being
a deplorable union. Why? Because
they are not in love, merely making
fools out of themselves to the disgust Of
all who are compelled to witness their
sickish-sickness. Reynoldsville has a
few samples. We agree with the
Herald that man is somewhat ''soft"
to get down on his knees before the one
whom he seeks to wed, but II he does
act so foolish he should ever after be
true to the VOWS he has taken. All
the matrimonial trouble we read and
hear about nowadays is not caused by
the wives. How about the fellow who
promises to love, protect and care for a
girl and after she becomes his wife he
proves to be the most contemplate
tyrant that can be conceived Of? Who
snaps and snarls around his home; who
thinks his wife Is a crank; whose
nasty temper strikes terror to his
family and his very presence forbodes
trouble. Nothing suits him about the
house. How about such wretches? Is
it any wonder his wife thinks OF the
days when he was all smiles and was
willing to do anything. All! no. And
such whelps are the very chaps that
'feel like going out in the back yard
and kicking themselves from center ia
circumference, when reminded of their
days of gallantry.

credit for it. The admission fee was

permit a general "blow" for all who
took part on the program and as all
are deserving of notice we will not
make any comment on the performers.
