LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.

La Moure Chronicle: Geo. Wood
dell, the well known bonanza farmer
living near Valley Junction, went to
Verona Saturday-and ct with the us
ual bad luck that attends him when he
visits that burg. He was accompa-
MED by his son, and 1t appears that
both INDUCED too freely in the high
proof soda water kept on tap there.
En- route home they met Helm Wei
mann, an unsophisticated German
farmer who lives about five miles
southwest of Verona. Somehow they
got into an alteration, and Weimann
was either dragged or frightened off
his wagon. A mix-up followed, in
which it was alleged that both Mr..
Wooddell and his son were aggressors,
and from which Mr.. Weimann emerged
with dishgured countenance. Mr.
Wooddell was arrested charged with
assault and battery The son made
himself scarce. The case came up for
preliminary hearing before Justice
Wilbert, of this city, but a change of
venue was taken to Justice Geo.
Young's court, who lives in Berlin.
AS matter of convenience Mr.. Young
came over to La Moure Wednesday
morning to preside at the hearing.
Geo. p. Jones appeared for the state,
and M G. LaselI for the defendant AS
result of the hearing Mr.. Wooddell
was bound over to the county court,
his bonds being fixed at $3.50, which
were furnished.

Best Perpetrator Finds II Working
With Reverse English.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Don't ever
try TO pull any comedy on life in
surance agency. 1t doesn't pay to wax
jocular with life insurance men, be-
cause they're the wisest people there
are and you can't get anything past
them. Many insurance men are so sa-
gacious that they can understand the
average life insurance policy.
Take this case: gainesville man,
who may be called Johnson, because
mis- name is something else, received a
circular letter from a Cleveland in
surance agency with postal card in
closed for him to sign and send in If
he wanted further information. Be-
ing one of the leading Jokers of the
town, Johnson did not sign his own
name to the card; he signed his friend
Thompson's name and then dropped
the card into the letter box.
Then, when the willy insurance men
sent a representative out TO Painsville.
he went right to see Thompson, the
man whose name was signed to the
card, didn't he? Answer; He didn't
He went straight to see Crimson, just
as liz Johnson mad affixed his own name
TO Tie CARO- WEGu AiG lAdAACu ~
1--WE got your card" the agent says
to Johnson, land came out to talk
things over with you.
W-h-a-a-t!" gasped Johnson, why
why, that isn't my signature!"
mo" admitted the agent but you
see, it's your handwriting
''Well, how in the hotel did you find
1t out ?" burst out Johnson in an I'M
guarded moment.
"Oh, never mind about that" soOth-
ed the insurance man, smilingly, I'VE
have to know all such things. Let's
talk about insurance Why let the
mere detail Of your signing the wrong
name occupy us?'
sIql tell you what I'll do" declared
Johnson. "Put me wise to how you
found out and I'll be doggoned Il
i don't take out policy for $4,000 with
you. Ii you people could figure out
that you must be Q pretty keen
bunch"
The agent pointed to a serial number
on the post card. hidden away where
nobody would ever notice IT. When
ever a postal card was sent out with q
circular, a record Of the serial number
was kept In the office. Practically al
insurance companies work that sys-
| tenn nowadays.
The Paingville man was astonished
almost disguised at the simplicity q
the scheme, but he kept his word.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Ireland win
be free in 1924. wish my pen had
power to convey to my readers my
sense of the extraordinary personality
of M. ]. Ryan, who presided at our
monster eastern meeting, and of the
other men who are aiding our cause.
The Boston meeting and my seeing M.
J. Ryan recalls an incident in the life
Of Lloyd George. When Lloyd George
went to Birmingham during the Boer
war 100, 900 men in the mob had sworn
to lynch him, and they would have
done so. His only method of escape
was to put on the tunic and helmet Of
police officer and leave the hall in
the midst of a body of police.
AS he emerged to the street, great
blaze of electric light uddenly fell
upon his face. Another Welshman, but
an enemy and one of the mob that
wanted to kill him, caught sight OF
him. This Welshman recognized under
the helmet and in spite of the police
tunic the wonderful eyes of Lloyd
George-brilliant anG expressive; with
a veil he pointed him out to the mob.
Fortunately the informer was disbe-
lieyed and was kicked irto the gutter
and Lloyd George was able to escape
M. j. Ryan would be similarly detected
under any disguise, his eyes would be-
tray him.
In his native Philadelphia, Ryans
hold over his own people is irresistible
They have something approaching ia
naticism in their admiration for him,
he is deserving of their attachment
Brilliant, clever, impressive, a moving
orator, with clear, logical mind, great
courage and self devotion that is equa
to any call upon it, a combination Of
extraordinary tact and extraordinary

sweetness, yet vehement fierceness of
temper of revolt when he is confronted
by the meanness of disloyalty. M. J..
Ryan is a man made to rule men.
The Boston meeting is an excellent
illustration of the way money is being
raised in the United States. In the
midst of this scene, wild, turbulent,
inspiring, touching, there suddenly
came a remarkable episode. Ryan's
face had been glowing for half an hour
as he saw the wonderful tide rolling up
to him from this tremendous audi
ence; but suddenly he stopped; and
there came over his face a look of even
greater triumph than anything that
had yet appeared there.
This" he said, as he ran his eye
over a small bit of paper, "this is
splendid"
Then he paused; / think really be-
cause he was too moved to find utter
ance; and then he read out this re-
markable document: Mary G. Fitz-
patrick, $500" Then Ryan paused;
and there was cheer; and then he
read next.
Bessie s. Fitzpatrick. $780,"
Another pause, another big cheer,
then
Francis M. Fitzpatrick, 500. Then
Paul z. Fitzpatrick, $780," and then
Thomas M. Fitzpatrick, $780," and
finally, William ]. Fitzpatrick, $780,"
1t was the wife, the children, boys
and girls of Thomas B. Fitzpatrick,
joining the husband and father, who
is the treasurer of the organization,
in doing their share for the good
cause.
II WISH" said Ryan. my friend,
Fitzpatrick, had more children" and
the audience laughed and cheered and
cheered and laughed yet again.

BROKE HIS SHOULDER.

Lidgerwood Broadaxe: VIM. Jonitz,
of Geneseo, fell and broke his shoulder
on Thursday afternoon last near his
home. He is a man of about Sc years
and the accident came in peculiar
manner. He ran to head off some cat
tie that were getting away and had to
cross some blowing. While doing so,
he stumbled and fell with such force
as to break his shoulder. The break
is complicated, for 1t includes the part
Of the arm bone in the shoulder socket
as well as a part of the socket, and
the injury will probably lay him up for
some time, as owing to his age the
break will be slow to heal.
