And now the '.Old Maids AS
sociation" has taken the Presi-
dent to task for telling free
Americans how many children
each family ought to have. OF
course it is not a case of sour
grapes:
A woman at Monmouth, Ill.
was hyptonized the other day by
reading a book on hypnotism.
She and her husband were prac-
ticing on one another and the
husband lost control. The woman
is dead, but the moral still lives.
Our readers who were acquain-
ted with Mrs. E. NJ. Burton. of
Custer, will regret very much to
learn of her death. She passed
peacefully away last Friday
morning, May 1st, and her re-
mains were tenderly laid to rest
on May 3rd. She has been a
patient sufferer for several
weeks. She leaves three daugh-
te S and one son to mourn their
great loss. She was in her 52nd
year of age, aud has been a resi-
dent of Custer for over 20 years.
She was devoted mother and
noble woman, and Custer will
feel her loss.

The jury in the case of Curry
VS.. Millick IN the United States
court brought in a verdict in fav-
or of Millick. 1t was the second
trial of the case and the second
verdict in Millick's favor. The
case is a somewhat celebrated
one. Some years ago Millick
sold mine in Custer county to a
Missouri corporation for S23, 900.
He received $4,000 in cash and
a note and mortgage for $13. 600.
This corporation later sold the
property to another Missouri cor
poration, the latter corporation
taking up the mortgage and pay
ing Mr.. Millick's note. In trans
ferring the note to the new cor
poration Mr.. Millick says that he
indorsed it without recourse
Late the note came into the
hands of Curry and as it could
not be collected from the cor
poration. suit was brought
against Mr.. Millick to recover it.
1t was then found that the in
dorsement without recourse
had been scratched out, the note
turned around and Mr.. Millick's
name written across the other
end. This later signature Mr..
