Evans wGS nearly lynched by score
Of other angry beet weeders.
Evans, who is 20 years old, cut the
price from II to S cents a row, and
the others heard Of ii. They dragged
him 200 yards across the field at tina
end of a rope and were about to hagl
him through barbed wire fence when
he cut himself loose. Then they chased
him to the road and pounded him
cruelty with beet hoes.
Evans says that the rows for which
he fixed the lower price were shorter
than usual. He has been branded as
a "scab," however, and will find it
difficult to get job in any field in the

always trying to make trouble. "You
were little goose to believe him when
he told you he'd never drink again.
Only last night saw him coming out
of the corner saloon on his way home. "
II know all about it," replied her
friend. 81 detected it the moment
kissed George at the door. But it's all
right. George really couldn't help
breaking his pledge just this once. You
see, some one was mean enough to
pass Canadian ten-cent piece on him
and when the conductor wouldn't take
1t on the car the only thing he could
do was to spend 1t in Kerrigan's."

out at or near the pole than to climb

last Thursday evening that, In view OF
the conflict in dates for which it
claims this state is not to blame. IT
could not send a regiment to West
Point, Ky, to attend the national en-
campmenr, yet further reflection has
convinced the board that it would be
rather discourteous to allow Michigan
to be unrepresented. Later it was de
cided to have this state represented at
West Point. but Gov. Bliss had not yet
decided what regiment to send there.
1t is possible that whole brigade will
be spared for the occasion, though it
is not intended to break up the state
encampment which meets about the

patent medicines, but when any one medi-
cine cures hundreds of people. it demon
strates its own value and does not need the
endorsement OF the profession.
