Her husband, Mr. Treadwater, was
employed for over eight years by Swift
& Co. in knocking down beef creatures,
having taken preliminary course as
street car conductor. He is very proud
of his wife's girlish beauty, and should
the finger of scandal ever be pointed at
her it would wear rag around it for
ever afterward. Mr.. Treadwater has
record as a knocker down of beef crea-
lures unequaled in his own state. As
street car conductor he succeeded in
knocking down eight fares in eight min
utes. With the advent of the bell punch
he entered the meat industry.

ties. You make a mistake, however, in
going into an elaborate wedding if You
have 10 gather wild Strawberries i'll or

welded without great display consider
ing your circumstances.
