"A man, by study and research, can
learn in time to understand almost
anything save woman's conscience.
1t must be tough to live to be so
old that no one else living remembers
when you wore young and smart and
good looking.
There was a time when it was
popularity supposed that Senator Hill
kept large assortment of ready-made
minds in stock.
The hot, perspiring days have gone,
That melted old and young;
And pompadours again may pomp,
And bangs again may bung.
Joseph Callahan was taken in by
Under Sheriff Harkins Friday night for
being drunk. He is a travelling sales
man and was released this morning.
There seems to be a strong likeli-
hood that the Salem tar and feather
case will go over to the next term OF
court instead of being tried this term.
The statesconvention of the Wom-
ans American Protective association at
Madison, Oct 81 to 81, will be presided

whatever medicine is given him.
DIR. Ripley and j. A. Williams,

-Kenosha is promised a Waukegan

Hereafter people who borrow books

There have recently been added
to the public library three volumes on
the money question. They are all on
the gold side of the question and are as
follows: "The Truth About Money"
/" Wages, Fixed Incomes and Free
Coinage of Silver" and " Cheap Money
Experiments. 1t is expected that in
a few days there will be books on the
other side of the question.
The board of directors of the
public library held meeting Friday
evening and transacted considerable
business connected with the increased
usefulness of that most excellent insti
tuition. The one problem which puz-
zled the directors most was that of
ventilation of the library room. More
shelves are needed for the accommoda-
ton of books and these were provided
for. The hours for keeping the library
open Saturday evenings were dropped
down half hour. Hereafter the close
will be made at s p. m. Librarian
Barnes reported that since March IA
last, the first day the library opened,
there have been 7,787 books in circu-
lation up to Sept. 1. There are now
2,217 books on the shelves ready for
circulation.

oldest resident has the country been so
green and fresh at the beginning Of
September as it is this year. Stubble
fields and pasture lands, which are
usually brown and burned up by the
sun at this season, wear a coat of YER
dure as in May or June. The luxuriant
fields of tail waving corn show NAM
moth ears hanging from every stalk;
the limbs of the apple trees are bowed
to the very ground with the weight of
luscious fruit; grapes, already turning
purple, peep from beneath the leaves of
the vineyard, and the melon crop is
fourishing as it never fourished in this
vicinity before. Verify this is year
of plenty with tillers of the soil, if un-
settled finances, closed shops and fac
tories, and business failures do prevail
