WAS ON THE LEVEL
WiFEY's LINE OF TALK NOT
MEANT FOR SARCASM.
Cause of the late Dinner Consider.
ably Puzzled Mr.. Hopkins Until
His Better Half Settled II
with an Explanation.

Hopkins had been detained at his
office an hour later than usual, and
when he boarded car for his home
he was all nervous. His nervousness
increased as he got nearer home. 1t
was no wonder. either, for Hopkins
had promised his wife to be home
early that evening.
He tried to read his paper, but in
stead he found himself repeating from
memory the line of talk that his wife
would hand him about keeping dinner
waiting upon poking around down
town after he left the Office, and how
thoughtless he was of her wishes and
a lot more like that
He had his explanation all framed
up ready for use when he let himself
into the fiat with his key.
Mrs. Hopkins came in smiling when
she heard his shut the door.
Dinner isn't quite ready" she re-
marked alphabetically, as she helped
him off with his, overcoat.
isn't, hey" says Hopkins, suspi-
ciously, wondering what sort of a
game she had fixed up on him. He
wished whatever 1t was she'd get it all
over with.

she asked, because | am getting up
just a plain little meal this evening"
still in that tone of apology.
Huh, uh," says Hopkins, amy old
thing'll do me, just so it's some sort
of food product" He looked at her in
a subdued manner that said, YES
I'll be it for whatever the game is,
but let's get started" 1t was all too
deep for Hopkins. He never was
much of hand at working out mys-
teries and REFUSES and the like, and
whatever the plot was it was getting
on his nerves.
That's just like you," went on Mrs.
Hopkins, you never complain. Here,
think this is the best light right over
here If you want to look over your
paper. I'll hurry up dinner just as
fast as / can. I'm almost ashamed of
what little I've got Oh, wait! I'll
get you a clean towel If you're going
to wash your hands,"
And so her talk ran Going to be a
nice evening of 1t, isn't It," thought
Hopkins to himself. YES, it isn't
Wonder how long she's going to keep
it up. l guess women aren't the plot
tiers or anything! The idea of putin
on so much sarcastic stuff just be-
cause a mans little bit late getting
home"
At the dinner table the missus laid
down her hand. The game had really
been on the level all the time. I'll not
let this happen again." she began in
that same apologize tone. "You see,

What Becomes Of the cokeY

A teacher was explaining to her
class the various ways in which gas
is obtained.
Much of the gas we use is ex.
tracted from COAL" she said. "and
after the gas has been taken out, the
coal becomes coke. In some parts Of
this country gas is obtained by
boring deep holes in the ground and
such gas is called natural gas"
Does the natural gas come from
the fires down in the bad placer" in

Taft Endorsement Questionable

Ionia, Feb. 1.-Congressman q. j.
Diekema announced today that he hard
ly believed it possible that the Repub.
lican state central committee would en-.
dorse Sec. Taft for the presidency.
Not that am losing any of my en-.
thusiasm for Mr.. Taft" said the con.
gresham, but there is question OF
ethics involved. If Michigan man
was a candidate, then it would be prop.
er to endorse him, but do not see how
the committee can act on Sec. Taft
However, / do want to see the state
convention endorse him, and my in.
fluence will be extended in that di.
rection."
Congressman Diekema also said that
the committee would probably decide
on one delegate to every 300 votes cast
for secretary of state as the proper ap.
portionment. This would give a con-
vention of 94S delegates.
Although he disliked to acknowledge
it Mr.. Diekema confessed that there
was little chance of Grand Rapids
obtaining either of the state conven-
tions, because of the lack of q conven.
ton hall.

Grand Jury in Ineham County Called

| accepted a bond of $4,000 to guar.
antee the safe keeping of $250,000
antee the safe keeping of a deposit OF
S250,000, when the law requires
ample security" for such deposits.
Other matters likely to be investi-
gated are the rumors of improper
methods inthe senatorial election last
winter, of which Governor Warner at
that time gave some strong hints and
the question of whether members of
the state senate were guilty of i'm
proper acts in connection with the eff
fort to defeat the binder Irvine bill be-
fore the last legislature.
The conviction is general that the
probe will go deeply into the matter
of the loaning of state funds and that
not only the state treasurer but other
public officials will be asked to ex-
plain why ample security for the state
funds was not required.
Some time has elapsed since the
Glazier failure and the revelations in
regard to the custom followed in dis
tributing state funds among the
banks and no action has been COM
menced to hold anyone responsible
for the alleged loose practices that
have prevailed. Judge Weist is a man
who feels strongly on the subject of
the care of public funds and was loath
to let the Glazier matter rest without
investigation.
Some doubt exists as to whether an
indictable offense can be shown, but
the grand jury may at least make a
report on the subject that will have
it's effect upon the administration of
A feeling prevails that Governor
Warner will probably be asked to tes-
'ify and that he will be asked to lay
before the grand jury whatever facts
and proofs he may have in his posses
sion regarding improper methods al
legged to have been employed in the
senatorial campaign one year ago, to
which the governor made allusion in
a public statement.
Judge Weist gave his charge to the
jury yesterday, instructing them to in
vestigate the handling of state funds by
Frank p. Glazier, the scandal in con-
nection with the election of U. S. Sena-
tor year ago, and the story that GER
tain members of the last legislature
solicited bride in connection with the
bill for binder Irvine plant.
