Chief testified that his wife wanted to
spend all his money on fine dresses and
that she sought to ignore all of the In

laid when she refused to attend the sun

pushed momentarily from his position by

Kendrick saw the woman's peril. He
lifted her in his brawny arms, swung her

On the rear platform lay the white, rigid

Out into the night rushed the train.

Of the SO called libraries" are reprints Of

is made, therefore, that II the government
goes on carrying these publications at less

tho expense of our homo writers.
Nearly all the books published for mail
Ing at this low rate of postage are novels
and many of them arc of a character not
calculated to improve the tastes Of their
