even in her speech that arrested his
attention. "Of whom the newspapers
make frequent mention" OF whom.
SO very grammatical. No one else In
the family would have said "of
whom" And her reference to Monte
Cristo! Rather surprising. To know
about Monte Cristo and never to have
heard of Andrew Carnegie-what an
anomaly!
Another thing. She had looked scar
ed half to death upon his discovering
her with the forbidden newspaper, but
when the petty tyrant Of the household,
before whom his own son and daughter
crnged, appeared on the scene she had
met his approach with cool indifference.
Her evident bashfulness would not ex-
plain her extreme agitation with him

When, little later, he rose to go to
the house he had come to no conclusion
about her at all.

Wife Desertion a Felony.

Very little was said about an i'm
portant bill that was signed by Gov
ernor Hanly a few days ago and
which is now law 1t is a bill that
makes it felony for a man to de-
sert his wife and family This means
that the penalty for wife desert ON
is from two to twentyone years in
the penitentiary, and the police de-
partments of the state should see the
law is rigidly enforced.
Heretofore in the state of Indiana
man could skip out and leave his
wife and children to starve or shift
for themselves as best they could
while he gallivanted around the coun-
try with some other woman or en-
joyed life as he pleased The wife in
many instances was compelled to
take in washing to support herself
and children and when her health
would no longer permit such pro-
ceeding, the children were turned
over to an orphans's home board to
become a state charge.
All this is changed now If man
deserts his family and fees to an
other state he can be returned
through requisition proceedings to
answer the charge the same as if he
had committed any other felony.
Every man should support his own
children if health and conditions will
permit and when he seeks to escape
the responsibility by deserving them
he should be prosecuted as vigorously
as the horse thief burglar or any
other desperate criminal.
The new law will put crimp in
the calculations of number of fell
lows who have planned to skip out
and leave the families TO shift for
themselves as soon as the blue birds
begin to sing.

Born on a farm a few miles south Of
Plymouth, she came to this city a
prattling babe, and here all her life
was spent. Childhood girlhood, wom-
anhood, all the twenty-one years that
she lived, her uppermost thought was
how to be helpful. No young lady
in Plymouth was better known or had
wider circle of friends. She was
helpful everywhere, at home, among
neighbors and friends, in the schools
from which she graduated in 1905; as
a church worker, Sunday school
teacher, a teacher of the public
schools land as one OF the sweetest
singers Plymouth ever knew, she
seemed to scatter sunshine and JOY
wherever she went; but she came
from her work in the school room,
sick one evening, only severe cold
it seemed, but a week passed and she
was dead 1t all seems strange, blu;
God knows best
The church was crowded with
friends and mourners, there was a
profusion of flowers, and they were
freely given as a last, loving tribute
to one who was always mild, kind
gentle and helpful, girl in whose
heart there was no guile, womanly
spirit true and, beautiful The words
spoken by pastors were tribute tc
her worth and conveyed so far as
possible, consolation to the bereaved
relatives and friends. Sometime we
shall understand.
