GIRL FOR SALE
To the Highest Bidder-ThiS
Beauty Wants TO Sell
Herself.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 13.-The adver-
Using manager of the Record-Herald
tonight received from girl who sign
ed herself ElizabethMagie, and who is
"a flesh and blood personality-a very
charming personality at that-a 1900
word advertisement, in which she
offers to sell herself to the highest
bidder.
She says she Is intelligent, educat
ed, refined, true. honest, just, poed-
cal, broad-minded and big-souled and
womanly above all. Yet she Is will
ing to sell herself TO the highest bid
der-to be her purchasers slave. An
interview with her tonight prov es
her claim to all the attributes she
enumerates.
Miss Magic is a brunette with large
gray-green eyes, full, passionate lips,
features full OF character and strength
feet 3 inches in height, graceful and
supple.
Her advertisement of her varied
charmes is replete with sensations.
She frankly admits she cannot sew
or cook or sweep. She does not go
to church, but obeys the laws of God.
She says she longs for silk under
wear, but is wearing ten-cent gauze
nda.,ht.,a and mn oht,,o than, ont n mr.
self. She had a streak of hard luck
year ago, she says, and lost every
thing. BY force of circumstances she
took up typewriting.
But typewriting Is hell"
Her advertisement OF herself closes
thus:
This young woman, therefore, in
offering herself for sale, is doing
nothing but what hundreds of women
are doing every day. There is moth
ing unusual about 1t except, perhaps
in this case. the slave has given more
than ordinary thought and consider
alton to her condition and the cause
of 1t, and, instead of offering her
self for sale privately. she does so
openly and publicly in the hope Of
bringing larger price than might
be obtained at private sale. Besides,
she is very curious to know what may
be the highest market value that is
set upon an American slave Of her
qualifications by the American mas
tiers OF privilege"
Reporters who visited Miss Magic
tonight were unable to solve the puz-
zle. She insists she is sincere in the
advertisement. She is certainly very
beautiful, highly educated, and, If
she is booming a book she has writ
ten, her methods are even more dar-
ing and original than those of Mary
MacLane, the Butte authoress.

TWO WIVES AT HOME
But All Agree, and Matters Seem
10 be Getting Along
all Right.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 12.-With his
lawful wife, mother of his two small
babies, acting as general servant Of
his household, Charles r. Sager, in
surance solicitor, has been living with
a second spouse since last May, the
trio apparently getting along har-
moniously. Both women are young
and pretty, the former being a tall,
blue-eyed blonde and the latter a chic
little brunette.
While being examined in the Mu-
nicipal Court to-day ON the charge of
having assaulted a bartender yester-
day, Sager astonished Judge Donovan
by voluntarily admitting that he had
two wives at home, one acting as SER
want and the other as mistress of The
house.
What's that sharply inquired the
Judge after be had somewhat racor-
cred from his astonishment.
"Sit JOu JuuSCg
my first wife in 1901, and lived with
her until early last spring, when We
agreed to separate because We could
not get along very well together. We
intended to get a divorce, but have
not got around to it yet. Last May
married another woman. AS my
first wife had no means of support
she accepted my proposal that she re-
main with us until she could establish
herself somewhere else.
I'VE get along nicely together, and
| think we will be able to fix up the
matter to the satisfaction of the law

CHANGES RULING.
Voters Not Required 10 State for
Whom Ballots are Cast-In-
junction Suit Filed.

In order to meet any possible emer-
gencies, the Democratic State Exec
utive Committee at meeting last
week, changed one section in the rule
governing the primary November G.
requiring all Democrats TO vote in the
congressional race beore being allowed
a vote in the primary. The rule irst
adopted required all Democrats be-
fore being allowed vote in the pri-
mary to answer affirmatively that they
had voted for the Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress. The committee was
called several days ago to meet last
week upon learning that prominent
Republican attorneys would file an
injunction suit on account OF the
original rule adopted. The petition
was filed at Bowling Green recently
by Judge George DuRelle and other
Republican attorneys on behalf OF
r. E. Jones, who says he is a DEM
ocnt and would suffer great and
irreparabie injury should ne dis
close to the primary election officers
for whom he had voted for Congress.
The petition AYERS that it is unlaw-
full and unconstitutional to require
any voter to state for whom he had
voted. The petition also alleges that
it is improper to select Democratic
nominee for the United States Sen
ate in a primary election and that
such nomination is not binding upon
the Legislature.
The committee last week, decided
to change the terms of the rule, being
content with the fact that everyDem-
ocrat votes for q member Of Congress,
without stating that he voted for the
Democratic nominee. The committee
disregarded the allegation in the pc
tition that the Democratic voters have
no authority TO nominate their own
candidate for United States Senator.

her children by the hand. She was

ishment, which had caused skin dis
ease and both Catherine, six, and
thrce-year-old Lillian had severe at
tacks of whooping cough. The
mother seemed wholly unmoved by
their condition, though she demon
strated a careless affection for them.
She told Serg. Brennan that she had

An ambulance was summoned from
Bellevue and the woman, partially de-
mented from alcoholism, was sent to
the hospital for treatment, while the
children, weeping piteously at the sep
aration, were turned over to the
Children's Society. In two days Ma
RE Greeley had sufficiently recover

Investigation disclosed the fact that
the woman had come here at the be-
