)DENKEWALTER gUNCOED
BY HENRY C. HUBBELL,
He Will Again Come Into Possession
of a Sanitarium at Spen-
Ger, Ind.

The masters report in the case of Freder-
ick w. Denkewalter ct al against Harry c.
Hubbell ct al. was handed down yesterday
in the Federal Court, stating that the con-
illusions of law were that the equities are
with the complainants. The report recon-
mends decree adjudging the rescission of
the contract and the reinstatement of the
status quo of the parties involved in refer
ence to the property as 1t was held in fee
simple before Dec. 5, 1902.
The case is an interesting complication Of
real estate transactions in which the COM
plainants entered into n contract for the
exchange of property, which was brazenly
misrepresented by the defendant. Denke-
walter, the complainant, previous to Dec.
g. 1902. was owner of a sanitarium at Spen-
Ger, Ind, which he wished to sell or ex-
change for other real estate. In answer
to advertisement in Cincinnati paper
Harvey G. Hubbell called upon Denkewalter
and offered as a proposition of exchange a
farm at Bowlusville, o., and number of
lots in Columbus. By appointment Denke-
walter met Hubbell in Ohio and was driven
several miles in the country TO see the
Bowlusville farm He was shown a fine
tract OF rich, arabic land. He was then
taken to Columbus and supposedly shown
the lots intended for exchange. However,
as Denkewalter afterward discovered he
was not shown the property for which he
signed the note of exchange and transfer
Immediately after the conveyance Hubbell
sold the sanitarium to George Snypp for a
masters report Hubbell misrepresented the
property in almost every respect. The de-
ception was discovered few days after the
contract had been signed.

When Mary Rankin CranstOn. for in

as one who is trying to engineer new

ARE PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP
DANGEROUS?
The majority certainly are SO.

The majority certainly are so.
When a young man and woman,
fancy free and unfettered. become
really good friends. it is very delightful
to both, but there is always the very
strong probability that friendship may
develop into love If the love be on
both sides and there be no obstacle to
marriage. then nothing could be hap
pier; but. unfortunately. platonic
friendships have a way of ending in a
one sided love affair which is invariably
the cause of much pain and sorrow to
one. and sometimes to both. of the
eTstwhile good comrades.
But you may say. friendship, pure
and simple, between man and woman,
is so delightful a thing-isn't it worth
some risk?''
Not the risk of an unrequited hope
less love and therefore platonic friend
ships should not be INDUCED in by
either man or woman till both are well
on the shady side of thirty. For
younger people the risks are SO grave
that they will be wiser to content them
selves with the less exciting friend
ship of their own sex till the time
comes when the friend is found who,
it is hoped. will become the partner and
companion for life.

An Unstable Foundntion.

She is given books of travel to read,
she is taught expensive accomplish
ments, she is imbued with a taste for
uxuries which cannot be gratified un-
less she does well for herself. Over
and over again it is dinned into her
ears that love exists only in books and
passes away rapidly if it ever does ap-
ear. Respect is enough to marry on
she is told. There is nothing that
money cannot buy-art. music. beauty
and life-the great glittering life of the
world-and she is left in happy igno-
'ance of the fact that music and art and
he beauty of color itself spell love
Well, If she can be kept in ignorance of
he true proportion of things, and if she
married young she will never change
Ter soul will remain petrifed, half
,pen to certain things and wholly
'losed to others. Music will never be
pain or a temptation to her. color will
re merely pretty. She will adore pink
because it is cheerful. and dancei grace
ully to waltz music and wear her dia-
nonds and lean back on soft cushions
ind enjoy all the material comfort
and she will be happy-yes.. happy-be-
;ause she knows nothing else. And
hat is why the wise mother marries
Ter daughter young and lets her i'm
lgine herself in love with her fiance
when she is only in love with his at
iention to her.
