JUDGE REFUSED
TO DIG UP

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 49,
Judge Frank S. Roby of the appel
late court has written a letter to
George Dinwiddie, who has charge
of the assessments for the repub-
lican state committee, flatly refus-
ing to pay 5000 as a campaign as
sessment. Notice of the assessment
was sent to the Judge and he paid
no attention to it. Another notice
was sent, in which he was re-
minded of the fact that the assess
ment had been fixed and taht let
ter asking him to remit at once had
failed to elicit reply.
This letter Judge Roby answered
by saying that he denied the right
of the committee to say what sum
he should pay toward the cam
paign, and, above all, no political
party should invade the courts of
the state and drag them into
politics.
In a concluding paragraph the
Judge said that he had not the
honor of an acquaintance with Din
widdie, but he judged from the
reading of his letter they would
soon meet and become acquainted:
He added that if Dinwiddie should
visit him he should take care that
the meeting did not take place in a
dark alley or secluded place.

The club announces that not

that there is grand chance tc
win converts this year, and they
are going to put forth their best

BADLY ABUSED WIFE
DEFENDED ATLAST

To speak Ill of one who is dead
and cannot defend him or herself Is
generally conceded to be dis
graceful deed. Yet from generation
to generation this has been done in
the case of Mrs. Socrates, nee Kan
thippe, says Katherine Smith, who
undertakes a defense of that much
abused lady in the October Smart
Set.
Xanthippe's parents were poor
but proud when Socrates sought
her hand in marriage. She began
life hampered with many draw
backs. There was her name, long
and beginning with that rarely
heard consonant, x. She was the
youngest of noble family, and the
rest of the alphabet had been ex-
hausted in providing for her 70
brothers and sisters.
What could be her endearing
nickname? Was 1t Xannie? Could
it be Thippe? Not at all. The
modest, shrinking child grew up to
womanhood as Xanthippe, lived as
Xanthippe, died as Xanthippe. Cen.
turtles after her death the word is
used to illustrate the alphabet as
one of the few words beginning

ACTORS INDICTED FOR
STEALING PLAY

L. r. Stockwell, the veteran ac-
tor, and Norval MacGregor, who
has recently sprung into promi-
hence in his profession, are both
under indictment by the federal
grand jury charged with violating
the copyright laws of the United
States.
Stockwell and MacGregor are
specifically accused of using an
adaptation of Sudermann's Fires
of st. john" written by Actor
Charles Swickard. 1t has been in
timated that Nance O'Neil the
tragedienne, and Mckee Rankin,
her actor-manager, who used the
so called Swickard dramatization
will be implicated.
Stockwell and MacGregor were
released on 1000 bonds.

with the mellifluous, but seldom en-
countered, letter X. She has, at
least, that individuality, poor
woman.
Socrates was an old man when
he married, and from a beauty.
Xanthippe, much younger, would
probably have taken pride in the
comliness of a husband, but Socra-
ties went for the most part barefoot,
was ungainly and dressed poorly.
That his wife was of tender heart
is evinced by her naming her first
child. 1t will be seen that her
object was to find a name capable
of pretty and endearing diminu-
tive. Here was woman who, even
if she felt inclined to use an en-.
dearing name toward her flat
nosed, thick Tipped husband, would
be obliged to call him Soc or Ratty
Is 1T any wonder then that she
longed for some euphonious nick
name for her first born? Lammie
1t was, but tradition hath it that
this petted and spoiled son repaid
Mrs. Xanthippe's kindness by say
ing that though she had been
good mother to him-"did not kick
him, did not bite him-yet her
tongue was worse than her teeth.
