THE Greater Love" is the reductio dd
dbsurdum of John Tannerism. The hero
OF Man and Superman' talks about art so
hard and is so determined to live for his
career, that you suspect him of spelling both
words with primer capitals. But in the
end. it may be observed, when no is cap
tlred by the never womanly, his fate is
not tragic, nor even heroic, but comical.

Every effort is made to make his fate seem

While walking past the depot the
other day, Geo. I'll. Goodspeed picked
up coin that had every appearance
of being a gold dollar, says the
GAINESVILLE Argus. To make doubly
sure he took it to a jeweler, who
at once pronounced it the genuine
article. 1t was of ancient make and
he was advised to consult rare
coin catalog and this he did and was
astonished to learn that the coin had
value of $268. He lost no time in
sending it in to New York bank
where rare coins are purchased and
is looking for 1858 check by each

mains has been dug to lay the pipes.
Red lanterns were hung out at night
as warning to teamsters, but Mr..
Pavek failed to notice them, with
the result that both his horses got
into the hole. The spaces under the
horses were filled in after about two
hours work and the animals rescued
from their plight entirely uninjured.

Fairfax Standard; On Saturday
afternoon shortly before 6 o'clock
the cash register drawer in George
Miller's meat market was relived of
S2.85. AS soon as the loss was dis
covered suspicion at once pointed TO
fellow named John McCarty, who
has spent most of the summer in
this section. Upon being charged
with the theft mccarthy confessed,
and he also made the claim that this
was not the first time that Miller
had been touched up for various
sums, and he also made the claim
that several local parties were i'm
plicated with him in the former
deals. Miller claims that he has
lost various sums thruout the sum-
mer which would aggregate over
$500. McCarty gave him the dates
and the amounts taken at different
times and they tally with Miller's
claims.
The trust war on the local cream
cry continues, and the worst of the
whole business is that the farmer
helps the trust by taking the bait of
cent or two pound extra for his
cream pending the closing down of
the local creamery. Then something
will happen. The farmers around
Milroy propose to go down Gwith
their colors flying, if they are
whipped, as evidenced by the follow
ing from the Echo: At a special
session of the directors of the cream
cry association it was decided to
operate the plant during the winter.
Now let the farmers give the insti-
tuition their undivided support. You
owe it to them for this reason alone:
If the creamery was closed you
would have to take a few cents less
than at present, as the outside con-
Germs are aware Of what the local
creamery is doing. They are able
to care for themselves.

except the pleasure of making them fight

Milbanke. desperately at loss, gazed from

he was saved the trouble of finding an

speak Asshlins loud laugh broke in again.
"Bravo!" he cried bofsterOusly. "All the
eloQuence and all the lack of logic of your
sex! But don't put those propositions to
Milbanke; put them to yourself when you've
reached his age. If you can't tell at fifty

kill and make fools of themselves you'll

viously noticed falling like a shadow over

another laugh and shrug Of the shoulders
opened the door.

| Burke. bring more candles and another

At the words Clodagh rose.
Father! she exclaimed below her
breath. Then her voice faltered. The In
voluntary note Of protest and appeal was
checked by some other emotion. With
swift movement she crossed the hearth
picked up her whip and cap. and without
another glance or word walked out Of the
room, followed noiselessly by Nance.
Asshlin continued to stand by the door
until the figures Of his children had disap-

shook of his passing seriousness with ner-
vous excitability, reseating himself at the
table as Burke entered.
"Ah, here we are!. he cried. Here we
are! Come along, Burke, and show the
