The most sensational development of

Hains and his brother. T. Jenkins
Hslns. had been driven TO insanity by
the discovery that the young army Of
fcers wife. after being won by Annis,

performed in an effort TO hide evidence
OF misconduct such as has been charged
IN the case.

followed this statement with another
in which II was asserted that there
was doubt as 10 the legitimacy OF the
is months old baby Of Mrs. Peter c.

TO the reporters.

This statement was made by Mrs.

Hunnerbein, this afternoon after the
funeral Of Annis
According TO the same informant
Mrs AHnis will do everything in her

that her husband was in every way an
honorable man and a faithful husband
and that his death must be avenged.

TO swear off or not to swear off
} that's the question.
J Whether Il is better to make a good
resolution and break It the next day
or to make none at all, there's the
burning issue.
A good deal Of sport is made OF
New Years resolutions; the subject
is an annually recurring joke.
Heavyweight psychologists tell us
that It is weakening to character to
make a resolution and break it--may.
be so.
But the fact remains that a good
many more people would have gone
to jail and perhaps to the permanent
abiding place of the wicked, wherever
that is, If at some time or other, they
hadn't resolved to turn over a new
Leaf" and quit their meanness.
A stone never made a New Years
resolution or any other kind, and we
never heard Of brute swearing off on
Jan. or any other critters"
of this class haven't sense enough to
make any change in their existence.
The Chinese religiously follow the
motto. Walk in the trodden paths"
and they have been following in the
same path for several thousand years.
AS a nation, they have never turned
over new leaf, and that's why they
now have to eat in the kitchen.
But you are neither a stone, a brute
or a chink; you are an intelligents
self-directing. progressive creature;
you have wiIl-power. and why don't
you use It?
OF course, If you are a jelly fish,
with no backbone; If you are one OF
those flabby creatures that are con
trolled wholly by environment; If you
are pig-headed and just don't want
to mend your ways; if you absolutely
know that you are so weak that you
can't keep resolution, you'd better
not swear off.
But all human experience attests
the fact that emen may rise on STEP
ping stones of their dead selves to
higher things" thousands have done
it and are doing it every day. why
not you?
But why postpone the swearing off
till the first of the year? There's
the real absurdity of your-New Years
just making EN- once
year-no wonder you don't keep 'em.
The good resolution daily, hourly re-
newed, is the only one that counts.
Resolve, resolve and to be men
