Next time Deputy Sheriff Weber wants

Weber lives in Blue Island, where the
custom OF lubricating fires prevails. When

A man came down franklin street last
evening carrying satchel, says the Buff

A young fellow who stood on the corner
OF Niagara street stepped forward and
said: Say, Boss, have you got any old
clothes to sell?'
NO" replied the man.

HER GREAT sOLICITUDE.
She Was Touched When He Threat

She lived in the country, and he from
the town for the Summer fell desperately
in love with her, says the Baltimore
Telegram.
But her heart was in the keeping of a
farmers son, and she could not return
his metropolitan affections.
she had told him so that night on her
fathers porch, while the honeysuckles
hung low In the moonlight and filled the
air with their luxurious fragrance.
"If you do not marry me-" he whis-
pered, hoarsely. Il win drown myself"
"Oh, don't" she pleaded, for her heart
was tender, though another's.

No Tax on Empty Wells.

To the Editor:
The definition OF wealth, as debts due and col-
lectable" Is no more absurd than Mr.. sanfords
example OF what he calls a single-tax absurdity.
The oil well increases the yalYe of the farm while
the well contains oil: with the disappearance Of
the oil the increased value also van
ishes, SO there is no danger OF any
tax being collected empty wells The
single tax is after the full well, and the full

these concerns that savors OF rather shady meth

vertisement In morning paper. Upon meeting
tho advertiser, she was informed that the posi-
tion was that OF detective As sample OF the
style OF work she could expect, he rec!ted a tale
OF alleged society woman. who. after delib-

her with her husband. The plan by which the
agency hoodwinked the doubling lord and mas

til such time as she might again transgress' was
told with great satisfaction and given as an ex-
ample Of the way they treated ''such cases. -

informed that the detective branch was carried
