Congress should remember that it Is

will keep down expenditures. This re-
minds us OF the argument Of the en-
ployer who told his workman that he
could thrive on FIVE dollars a week II
he would save all he earned. AS a
matter Of fact, a certain amount OF
money is necessary to meet the le-
climate needs OF this government, and
It is becoming more and more mani

the Republican managers seem to have
passed the bill and then gone into the
matter Of figuring out the needs. This
is certainly a clever demonstration OF

Chester county farmers have come TO
the conclusion that something must be

sional tramps. Here we give the

serve the plllory and post for feloiis.

Bound to Have Cigarettes.

Men who have used tobacco and have
been deprived of it can readily under
stand what the soldiers suffer when de-
MED the consolation of a pipe. Several
months ago the New York Sun printed
the story of a Cuban officer whose
cigarettes had bean exhausted, and
who walked into IA town held by COM
pany of Spaniards to replenish his
stock. He bought his cigarettes and
the Spaniards chased him out of town,
firing at him as they ran. Fortunately
he was not hit, but he did not think
the danger he ran was too great for
the advantage gained. There is to-
bacco enough in Cuba, according to all
reports. but it is all within the fortified
cities, and the men who are guarding
outposts are not likely 10 get a large
share of il when il is captured.

BRIDE CHANGES HER MIND


William Christman. of Springfield,
H., lost bride because he was not
up as early in the morning as was his
rival, H. w. Ross, of Louisville, NY.
Christman was considered by the
parents of Miss Jeanette Bennett as
their prospective son-in-law, and 1t
was expected the couple would be mar
ried.
Ross, who formerly lived at Spring
field and had been the accepted lover
of Miss Bennett, heard of the con-
templated wedding while he was in
Kentucky and wrote the young wom-
an, urging his old love, and begged her
to meet him in ST. Louis.
Without waiting 10 hear what the
result of his letter would be, Ross
went to the Missouri city, and when
he arrived there he found telegram
from Miss Bennett saying she could
not come.
Undaunted by this setback, Ross
boarded the first train for Springfield
and was there early in the morning
to press sis suit. His eloquence won
and the couple left for Petersburg
to escape the ire of the young wom'
ans parents. It is believed they were
married in the Menard county town.
Miss Bennett is a daughter of j. NJ
Bennett, a prominent merchant, anC
Ross is a photographer.
