Ing number of dollars III his wife's Golfers
were enough 10 repay him for his years in
the peniteHtiary. Now all is different.

loon for the fare which Cupid provides, said
10 be pork and kisses in a song. He
left home last Friday, and the faucets be-

The Socialists at Neebe's place and in the
neighborhood were quite astounded to learn
that the leader had departed from the dis
trict and was not expected To return. They
at unce began to inquire the cause, and as
u result a little story was unfolded which
set them to talking.

was given in sciitZ's Park, Milwaukee,,
by the Socialist Saenger- Bupd of that city
and 4 large delegation of Socialists from
Chicago attended. Mr.. and Mrs. Neebe
were among the number who went to Mil
waukee on boat. There, Mrs. Neehc says.
they met Mrs. Mueller, and the latter and
Mr. Neebe became quite well acquainted
FAMILIARITY TOO INTENSE.
Mrs Mueller was invited to call at the
Neebe place on her return to the city. and
to all appearances she responded to the in-
vitation. Mrs. Neebe says the woman was
frequent caller at the place, and that her
presence became Intoierabie to her on ac-
count OF the growing familiarity between
her and Neebe.
This brought about plain talk between
tie saloonkeeper and his wife, the latter

remain away from the place. Friday the
