A COMING ATTRACTION.
"Paid in Full" Another High Glass
Play, Coming to the Grand Soon.

When a play not only grips the
mezzo on the tender cords, it bears
the hallmark of great success. 1t
is not surprising, therefore, that
paid in Full" has made an appeal
which has been needed. Eugene
Walter actually lived the play. He
breathed his very existence into it..
1t is almost unnecessary to say at
the very beginning that the play is
not sweetmeat. 1t is very strong
food and should only be taken by
those who wish to harrow their very
souls by a chapter from the lives of
everyday people who are enacting the
sordid tragedy of existence where
sin is not so gilded that we are blind
ed by the glitter. 1t is the story of
sullen, vicious, resentful husband
who has become so embittered in the
daily grind that every spark of man
hood has been wiped out. He finally
sacrifices his wife to smear over, if
possible, with his employer his
theft. The very goddess and inno-
cense of his wife is her most effect
i've shield.
With a powerful cast of players,
paid in Full will be presented for
your approval at the Grand opera
house in a short time.

WANT COLUMN BEATS SHERIFF..
Public Opinion Want Column Finds
Lost Satchel Containing Money
When Search Warrant
Failed.

We have always known that the
Public Opinion Want Column was the
best detective in Winneshiek county,
and that it would find almost any,
thing, but we hardly thought it
would beat the sheriff, armed with a
search warrant. But such is the case.
A few days ago a man driving
along a certain road leading into De-
corah dropped off from his rig sat
chel containing some money and
other articles. After searching the
road carefully, but neglecting to in
quire of those who passed in the
meantime, one of whom had picked
it up, he made up his mind that it
had been stolen by one of the occu
pants of house by the roadside,
and swore out a search warrant and
had the sheriff search the house. But
this also failed. Then he got wise
and read the Public Opinion. There
is was, sure enough, right in the
Want Column, his satchel. And he
came to the Office and got it, the
whole cost being twenty-five cents
for the Want Adv.
That Want Column is a hummer.
If you don't believe it try it, and you
will be surprised. Why, one man in
DEBORAH not long ago advertised for
girl, ten cents worth, and that
night the Stork left the sweetest
little girl you ever saw at his house.
Cheap wasn't it?

RISE OF DIALECT.
Source of the Expressions "Stig 'in,!
and "Sick Emil"

Source of the Expressions "Stig 'in,!"
and "Sick Emil"
When a boy in some parts of New
England has occasion to set his dog
upon any one or anything he exclaims.
as a rule: "Stig i'm! Stig inn" The
New York boy or the boy of the west
generally says: "Sick 'em! Sick 'em"
To the western boy the command "Sug
im!' sounds absurd; 1t provokes his
laughter. But his own command Is
equally amusing to the New England
boy.
This little difference illustrates the
beginning of local dialect. Probably
neither boy thinks Of the exact mean
ing Of what he says. He is merely
repeating words he has heard others
use, which he Is sure, from their fire.
quent repetition, that the dog will I'M
derstand.
The boy who says "Sick 'em" is re-
peating a corruption only one degree
removed Of the words Seek him!'
which are a very old command.
"Stig 'imv' is corruption one degree
further removed from its original than
"sick 'emv' It began with take
him. which was varied by the use of
so" before it-"So take him." From
lids to "s' take himv was an easy

HIS LIFE FOR A HAND.
IN English Legend of the Time of the
Crusaders,


In little town or village i'm Glouces-
tershire there is church which
contains the mortal remains of one of
the old crusaders. In moldering eff
figy he is depicted on the tomb. while
by his side in cold eloquence is imaged
the form of his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image Is bereft Of one Of the
hands, and the story runs that the
crusader while fighting in the east
was made prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin, who. before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him If there was any reason why he
should not be put to death To this
the knight replied that he was but
young and would leave a newly we'd
ded wife. who would bitterly mourn
his loss.
1.-THE love Of woman is as a fieetinq
breath" retorted the sultan. "Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. "Well. then"
replied Saladin, 81 will promise on my
oath as soldier that If this mans
wife will cut off one of her hands and
send 1t to me l will set him free to
go to her" BY tedious and slow jour.
neyings the message came, and she. In
all piteousness for him who was her
lover and her lord. caused her hand to
be cut off and sent 1t to the sultan.
who kept his word and set the cru
sader free.-LondOn Notes and Que

When you talk Of chance you are
only confessing ignorance. The very
spin of the coin Is governed by the
nerve, muscle or manipulation Of the
thumb and brain that spin it The
only chance about 1t is your ignorance
Of the forces that lift. twist and catch
the coin. If you could calculate the
physical and mental forces between the
halfpenny's leap and return you might
buy the world. But you can't. And
it's Just that bit Of blindness that we
have to call chance.-London Chronicle

enter the Empire Linotype School,
and spend few months learning to
operate the linotype machine, one of
which was recently installed in this

when one becomes an expert it is an
easy matter for him to secure a good

operators is steadily increasing.
