did other maneuvers too intricate to

fixed on the mirror. anxious, unvary-

And with a sudden relief she smiled
IT herself, even as Eve must have
smiled in secret whenever she reflect
ed that she had no competition for
the affections of old Adam.
''Ill bring some OF them to a point
tonight all right" she whispered to
herself as she turned down the light.
So ends the prelude; on with the
dance.
The first waltz is over and she is
sitting on the stairs with a Johnny by
her side.

she.

"Oh, you men swear anything"
Il don't"
And you won't tell any other girl
tonight that she looks charming?'
Not one"
why not?" she breathed.
And did ne say, Because | love

And did he press her to him? Not

at her instead in most provoking
manner and said:
You know why"
Don't neither"

She arose at last, somewhat hoarse
from her repetition Of Don't, neither"

with the willing air of one who would
say DO, too" until the cows come

VOLUNTARY DONATIONS
BY CITY JOB HOLDERS

without coercion or intimidation"
the American" party employees in the
city hall are contributing to the cam
paign fund. At least the subscription
lists being circulated among the job
holders are headed by a neatly written
statement to this effect. The state
ment conveys the impression that the
offering is of the free willP' variety,
and is given only because the subscrib-
ers love the American" party and it's
glorious principles better than their
hard-earned money.
No exact percentage of salary is spe-
Gifted in the petition for funds, but the
amount each one is expected to donate
is made plain to him beforehand.
There has been some trouble expert
enced, principally in the street depart
ment, in collecting any substantial
sum from city employees. Here the
common laborers earning 50 a day are
being assessed from 81 to s. each, de-
pending on their length of service, and
the opposition has become so strong
that the collectors have had to take
to the tall timber for the time being.
There is a story going the rounds
that a certain labOrer working on the
east side became so indignant when
approached that he went after the
emissary of the "persuaders' with a
1ong-handled shovel, and there is rea-
son to believe the emissary is running

FRED c. KELSEY STARTS HIS FIRST
FLAMBEAU CLUB In BARBER SHOP

of them. said Mr.. Kelsey, is the early ap-
pearance of a flambeau club.
Il tell you, gentlemen" exclaimed Mr..
Kelsey with warmth, that there's moth
ing like a flambeau club to win elections.
] was the first one to start a flambeau
club in the days Of the old Liberal party.
and I'm going TO resurrect it, with new
added force this year
All the while Mr. Kelsey had been waV-
ing his lighted pipe in the air to give
emphasis to his remarks. but thinking the
pipe had gone out. he slipped it into his
coat pocket, as is his wont.
Continuing his discourse about the eff
ficacy of the flaming, flaring flambeau as
a converter of the other fellows, Mr.. Kel-
sey waXed warmer and warmer, and so
did his pipe. "As | said, gentlemen,
there's nothing like a flambeau to cause
excitement, and I'm going to start some
thing
And he did. for just at that moment
Mr.. KelSey's coat blazed forth in volume
sufficient to put the most brilliant of
flambeau clubs to shame.
Some of the people in the barber shop
thought the incident rather pat.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-09-22

There is no question that Fred c. KEEL
sey. city engineer, is a great fellow to
start things. Some of the things he start
ed he never finished, but that is almost
ancient history. In politics Mr.. Kelsey
is as enthusiastic about starting things
as he was about starting some of the
street improvements for which the people
will draw their checks.
Just now Mr. Kelsey is enthusiastic
about the American" party. 1t is no
more than natural that he should be, for
the American party has dealt kindly
with Mr.. Kelsey and overlooked many
things
Last evening Mr.. Kelsey, as must all
male members of the human race, sooner
or late, was waiting in a barber shop to
be shaved. Someone preached the ever
lasting subject of politics, and Mr.. KEEL
sey launched into a recital of what the
American" party is going to do this
year that it didn't do before. One of the
crowd possessed of the spirit of evil
legged on" the usually calm and docile
Mr.. Kelsey until he fumed and swOre, by
gum. that the American party was go
ing to do some rip snorting stunts. One

KID" BERNSTEINS WIFE SAYS HE
USED HER FOR A PUNCHING BAG

trouble started March 81 at the Belmont
hotel, when the kid" after calling her
all manner of vile names which are set
out in full in the complaint, threatened
to kill her and pushed her up against the
wal. and shook his fist in her face.
after severely cursing and otherwise
abusing the plaintiff the kid" is said
to have packed his grip and informed his
wife that he was going to leave her, that
the rent was paid for that day but that he
would support her no longer. The same
evening he met her on the street and
again abused her, she says.
On April 10 he is said to have gone
to the place she was staying and threat
ened to kill her.
Mrs. Meyers says that she is in desti-
tute circumstances and is compelled to
work as a housekeeper to support her
self She asks that her maiden name of
Vida Bird, be restoCed and that she be
granted $50 a month temporary alimony
and attorneys fees.
The complaint specifically denies the
charge made by the husband in his COM
plant filed ,ast June.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-09-22

Kid Bernstein, an alleged prize fight
er Of some local notoriety. brought suit
for divorce against mis- wife, June IA,
charging undue intimacy with others, and
yesterday the wife countered with a left
hook to the Kids jaw by filing a rath-
er sensational cross complaint.
According to the documents filed, the
Kids" real name is Harry Meyers and
his wife Vida 3. Meyers.
The wife's cross complaint alleges that
they were married March l, 1907. while
the husbands complaint says they were
married March a. 1907. The marriage
license records substantiate the wife as
they show that Rev. Charles e Perkins
united them on March l. the license hav-
ing been secured the same day
To begin with, the wife says that she
has not been furnished with the common
necessaries of life on account of the
'idleness. prOfligacy and dissipation OF
her husband"
Then she goes on to tell how her al-
legged pugilistic husband practiced on her
at his odd moments. 1t appears that the
