PRESENTS IN SAFE PLACE.
clever Girl Manages to Bridge over
Quarrel With Her Sweetheart.

A young millhand having lost his
sweetheart through his own hothead-
ed folly first threatened to commit
suicide and then became vulgarly
insistent in his demands for the re-
turn of the presents he had given
her.
'What good will they be to you II
you're goin' to drown yourself in t
mill pond?' she scoffed.
"Never you mind; I want them
back" he replied evasively.
"Well, I'll see that you have
Them" the girl reluctantly agreed.
But five days passed and the
young man still remoaned the loss
of the forfeited trinkets. Once more
he requested their return.

EASIER TO SIT.

When the candidate for legisla-

a question he was never at a loss for
ways to avoid it.
SeWhere do you stand on the ques-
ton of women's s~uffrage3" asked an
austere and influential person, his
hostess at a small dinner.
The tactful man turned to her
with a gallant but de~precatory smile.

Motion For Rehearing of
Church Case OverruIed.

The supreme Court OF the state
of Missouri overruled the motion
Tuesday for a r%ehearing of the
case of VIM. E. Church, murderer
of his foster parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
H. w. Yater. This ruling ends
the case so far as courts are con-
cerned, and it now depends upon
Gov. Folk who may grant him a
respite, or sheriff Dyer, who may
call q new jury to try his sanity,
whether the decree of the court
will be carried out on Jan. 10,
next. 1t seems that an attempt is
being made by several parties to
convince Gov. Folk that Church
was insane at the time when the
crime was committed and that he
was not capable of realizing the
enormity ofthe offense committed.
But to the people who have
known, and now know Church,
this seems ridiculous, and such it
certainly is. They knew him as
he was taken from an orphanhge,
q mere youth, was given a home
with the victims of his knife and
saw him grow to manhood in their
midst. During all this time not
one word was heard, nor was it
even surmised that Church even
bordered on insanity. While yet
quite young, he was given charge
of the farm on which he was
raised. This he tended, bought
and sold stock, disposed of the
surplus products and dealt with
his neighbors as other boys of the
community. Warrenton Banner

BEAUTY IN A MINING TOWN.

Typical Example of the Wonderful
 Work of Civic Improvement.
 The American Civic association gives out the following edlfying report from one of its branches In n Pennsylvania mining town:
 Monessen. Pa. is n new steel town seven years old, built in the side of steep Pennsylvania hills. The popu- 'ation Is about 10000. but the majori- ty are foreigners of all nations and of the working class. Consequently the town so rapidly built from necessity and for profit and In a difficult location was anything but attractive.
 Last February fourteen ladies met one afternoon with a view of forming social club. The Holly club was the result. and. as the bylaws indicate, 1t was formed for the purpose of pro noting gool cheer. rendering charity to the needy. furtherlng movement to- ward the establishment of a local hos pital. advancing civic betterments. promoting friendly discussions and the study of current topics and generally
 
 community"
 In less than two months the member ship was forty. and the club was oblis- cd to meet in a hall. the rent of which was generously donated by one of the ritizens. The first work In clvics was offering prizes for the improvement of tho lawns.
 It was late when the plan was fully made and put before the public. but am glad to say the whole town took to the idea. and the results were more than satisfactory. Two of the prizes were won by foreigners. We got the hearty cooperation of the superin- tendent of schools, who had a very sue eessful school garden" in vacant lot adjoining one Of the school buildings; the support of the newspapers. the ministers, some Of whom gave earnest talks from the pulpit. and the town au- thorities.

Some of our farmers wonder
why their sons have a desire to
quit the farm, preferring town or
city life. The cause is with the
farmer himself. With the boy on
the farm it is perpetual toll in good
weather, all through the busy sea-
son, and perpetual lonliness in bad
weather and most of the winter
season. The time when the farmer
has leisure is at the very time
when they cannot get away from
home on account of their isolation
and bad roads. The boy hungers
for company and his heart revolts
against this uncomfortable lonliness
and to free himself from it, walks
miles through the mud to spend all
hour at the country store. We
are glad to note that in some Sec
tions of our country the Young peo-
pie of both sexes, have broken thru
these barriers, and established
farmers clubs and little societies
of one sort or another. This should
be encouraged and will prove a
great tonic to keep young people
on the farm and make life to them
worth living.
