WIFE TAKES HIM TO JAIL.
Husband Is Afraid Even to Speak In
Her Presence.

Kansas City. Mo.-"Here he is, now

rested him myAelf and made him come
across the line with me. I'll show him
he can't pick up and desert me-"
The speaker was Mrs. Della Lewis
of Kansas City, Kan, and her remarks
we're addressed to Acting Sergeant
Par Richardson at police headquar-
ters as she marched her husband,
Smith Lewis, up to the sergeant's desk
Officer Richardson did not know what
to make Of the matter at first and
asked what charge she wished to place
against her prisoner.
The charge has already been made. "
continued Mrs. Lewis. II swore out a
warrant several days ago for his ar
rest fer not supporting me. but he
slipped over to Kansas City, Mo-, to
avoid arrest went over and found
him and here he is"
No one at police headquarters knew
anything about the case and City At.
torney Nelson was called. He stated
that it was true that Lewis was want.
ed for abandoning his wife and family.
He was searched and locked up.
'Sow that / have landed you In Jail
| will be on hand in police court in the
morning to prosecute" were the part
ing words hurled az Lewis by his wife
as he was being led to the cellroom
Lewis offered no remonstrance and ap'
peared to be afraid to speak in the
presence of Mrs. Lewis. After she had
gone he remarked to the jailer: She's
fierce. can't do thing with her."

Dol on the green lest he stub his toe,

thin he feels like temperance town

and has to walk broadside of the wind
when 1t blows, to keep the zephyrs

bone. Honest, this friend of mine
would make a fine bookmark IL II

some of the basque patterns on our
street, and church-festival oyster
stew wouldn't dare look him in the
face for shame. A shadow that

Is as thick as piece of mothers APP
pie pie compared to this cuss. Every
time he swallows a mouthful of food
you can see him bulge out all the way
down like a boaconstrictor gorging
jack.rabbit. Somewhere there is a
crack in the sidewalk that is simply
aching to let him slip through into the
terrible abyss below. A fat man does
not have all the trouble in this world!

Sioux City, Ia.-Garbed as little
girl in short skirts, Christian Gelt, 40
years old, who lived for IS years in a
wire cage, playing with children's toys,
has been removed TO the county farm.
The case is one OF the most pitiful
ever encountered by an Iowa commits

cared for by his brother, Ole Gelt, a
working man, who did the best he
could to maintain the unfortunate man
and keep him from becoming a public

Cracker Dust Sidewalks.

The early March thaw gave Palisa-
dams a longing for good sidewalks
which they will remember for some
time 1t is a crying shame that such a
condition should continue to exist, and
it should not be permitted longer as an
evil. Palisade pays enough taxes to
have the best of everything. Our road
ways are the best possible. They could
not be better But the sidewalks are
the worst apologies ever foisted upon
a patient people. They never had any
foundations in the first place. 1t was
a cracker-dust job of which the builder
should be ashamed. 1t would be good
investment for the borough government
to get at this question of sidewalks, and
agitate it into some form of relief In

The Power OF Whiskey.

The most potent element in the hands
of mankind to-day is whiskey. 1t repre-
sents more energy than the steam plants
of any single country, and in the United
States stands for more dollars than the
cotton crop by many millions. Whiskey
is a demand of every household, but
the most useless agent for good ever
adopted. The principal ingredient is
alcohol and other poisons, including
fusil OIL the latter as deadly as rat
tiers fangs. Every day there is more
whiskey poured into man than there is
water over Niagara. Whiskey enters
more largely into mans affairs than
gold, and will buy more of itself. In
our halls of legislation it is stronger as
an argument than the words of man. 1t

Saving The Park.

It is to be hoped that some kind of
action can be obtained regarding the
saving of the park on the Palisades. In
a recent sermon by Rev. DR.. McC1eary
at Edgewater that eminent divine voiced
the best argument yet presented for the
necessity of preserving the beautiful
pleasure ground. Some of his remarks
are reproduced elsewhere in this issue
of THE PALIsDIAN. 1t is this kind of
positive thought that gives emphasis to
the absolute necessity of drastic action.
It will be too late when the present
owners, firing of their inability to dis
pose of their property at fair figure,
shall begin the erection of any kind of
buildings, either for homes or business
AS DR.. McCleary says, now is the time
to begin on the matter The park will
eat its head off in few more years,
and the owners cannot stand that Be
sides, they are not philanthropists, and
are entitled to a return on their outlay.
But the park is so essentially belong
ing of the public that to take it away
now would be the direst calamity Our
local organizations have done much, and
the ladies are continuing their efforts
to create sentiment in favor of holding
the park The interest must not be

Unconscious Influence.

William George Jordan wrote: "The
only responsibility that man cannot
evade in this life is the one he thinks
of least-his personal influence. Mans
conscious influence, when he is on dress
parade, when he is posing to impress
those around him-is woefully small
But his unconscious influence, the silent,
subtle radiation of his personality, the
effect of his words and acts, the trifles
he never considers-is tremendous"
1t is these surprising things about a
mans power which we cannot under
stand Of correct purpose and unim-
peachable honor, with fair intelligence
and an active spirit, no man in any

With great expectation both the
Normal students and the faculty
walked into the chapel Friday morn
Ing. AS it was the last school day
before Christmas. presents were CIV
en- to the faculty by the senior class.
Their interest in the matter was
shown by their not being able to sing
the doxology and the morning hymn.
Presents were given to match some
prank, saying or characteristic of
each member of the faculty. Stock
ings of every color with the rainbow
were hung for each member Of the
faculty.
A proof that the faculty were very
much interested is shown by the fact
that their faces became flushed and
even the physical director called for
more air, as he was very warm, such
a thing having never happened be-
fore this year; besides, it was the
coldest day of the year.
In each stocking was put a big
piece of candy in the form of a cane.
with some remark as to their deserv-

Another present was also given to
each of the faculty. DR. Snyder re-
ceived several things, a wild fowl of
some sort. books, etc. DR.. Gideon
got for his present little hobby
horse. since he has a hobby of talk
ing on simplified spelling. Miss Han

since she has difficulty in reading
some of the Juniors writing. Prof.
Hayes received megaphone in or
der to make his announcements loud
er in chapel Probably the best
present was given to Prof. Cham
bers. His fame as successful poul
try raiser has reached all corners of
the state. The present is especially
beneficial since he has just bought
perhaps the finest pen of Rose Comb
Rhode Island Reds chickens in the
state. 1t was four china nest eggs
guaranteed to always stay fresh. DR..
Waddle received collar with a large
piece taken out of the back 10 that
he could grow boils successfully and
without injury to their size and
quality Prof. Hadden was present
ed with toy band to help fill out
the fastgrowing zo-zo band of the
school. Prof. Cross received a bot

sented with chainless safety (pin)
to replace his long worn bicycle.
