A Steam Laundry-Why NotP

Last week couple of commercial men
desiring some laundry work done, in
quired for laundry. Upon being in.
formed there was nc laundry in Custer,
they expressed surprise that town of
this size had none; which causes us to
remark that laundry is q necessity in
every community that has any regard
for cleanliness of person. 'Cleanlness
is next TO Godliness, was one of the first
precepts taught US when child. A town
Of this size ought to support steam
laundry and we believe if one was es-
tahlished in Custer it would be a paying
investment, provided they advertised
the fact. d,
True, we have three agencies repre-
sented here, but one has to wait a week
for return of laundry from them, neces-
stating the keeping of larger supply
of laundry apparel than he otherwise
would need. IF laundry was estab-
lished in Custer that would give prompt
service-one that would employ from
four to six persons-in our opinion the
amount they would naturally expend
would more than offset the commissions
now received BY the agencies, and be
much more satisfactory.
A steam laundry here that could prop
erly handle women and childrens' as
we'll as mems clothes, would be boon
to the tired housewife this hot weather.
Had we a laundry here they could Sc
cure considerable patronage from nearby
towns, aside from the miners and other
laborers working in the country, for sew.
eral miles around.
Even hand laundry that would use
care in white goods. would be preferable
to present conditions. If there is any.
one in town who does such work they
have not advertised the fact in this
paper. Our reporter has been here
eight months-he has chased over this
town from one end to the other to have
a white shirt done up in an emergency,
and failed to find person to tackle the
job. 1t is against printers religion tc
have more than one change of raiment
at time.
Let's agitate the matter! Here's g
splendid opportunity for the CONNER
cial Club to secure an industry that will
be beneficial to the whole community

that there are times when Holsters

seemed by tn efeel to promise good
returns. To their surprise they
brought to the surface a lobster

ty-eight pounds, but which then looked
to be about a hundred. His claws
were working like windmjlls, and

Well, the girl knew her fathers mood
after a losing game in which he had
been interested in the losers. On such
occasions he never agreed t any
thing. And his criticisms were apt to
be blunt and unsparing. To give his

the opposing full-back caught it neat

grinned at a nod from his captain.

Asr0RY OF A FOOTBALL CANE
By ELLIOT WALKER
Copyright. by Bobbs-Merrill Co.

AS the men walked back to their pc.
sirions after the score was tied, Olney
Newbert felt Capt. Hartland's fingers
grab his arm fiercely.
The stalwart left guard turned with
a scowl. v~iciously Shaping his left
leg.

tackle any man that comes my way,

you would put me off"
Il can't retire you, Olney. | haven't
a sub to put against Hurwitz. He'll
go I'VE any Of 'em like an automo-
bile. You're the only man who can
down him"
Hartland was almost crying with
anxiety. A tied score, only a few min
utes to play, three of his regulars on
the wounded list, and now Olney New
bert, his steady old standby, his prize
grappler, who never missed a tackle,
and who could strike a gait which few
cared to follow, and fewer to stop; he
to be half crippled at this critical, ag.
oniZing time-it was too bad.
Newbert stood still for a few mo-
ments, then limped about, gingerly
rubbing his leg. His big padded
shoulders shrugged as If he was in
pain.
And over on the grand stand a white
mustache bent petulantly to a small
pink ear.
"Olney Newbert is making a fool of
himself, my dear"
"Oh! father, don't say that. He is
hurt"
Stuff! He's well enough to stay in
the game. Else he would be out Of it.

sition caused him naturally to shrink
from her; that and the fact that she
had already rejected him made him al
most awkward in her presence.
At lunch he was not a little sur
prised to see the change that had
come over his mothers manner. To
Marion, as Miss West, she had been
of the marques of Fowey, she was
most ELUSIVE in her attentions.
He was relieved to find that he had
not to talk. The others left him scarce
ly room for a word. Mrs. Mawgan
monopolized Marion and Mr.. Jackson
had no eyes and very little speech
for any n but Esther.
After lunch Mr.. Jackson proposed a
motor ride, which Marion hailed with
pleasure. 1t was a new experience
to her-a new form Of entertainment
and she vas glad to make the most
of her opportunity.
Clement could not join the party, as
he had to give evidence at the inquest.
Hence, when the car left the gate, he
turned his face in the other direction.
When he had given his evidence he
trudged up to Rownskilly and spent
a couple Of hours with Grayton, re-
turning to Mawgan Chase just in time
for dinner.
After dinner, over their cigars and
coffee, he suggested to Mr.. Jackson
that he should return to his duties the
following morning, and to this propo-
sition Mr.. Jackson raised no objection.
So it came about that Clement saw
less of Marion than almost any Of the
others. From some points OF view he
was not altogether sorry. Much as he
loved to be in her company he knew
that only pain and disappointment lay
that way. If he was to conquer his
passion, the less he saw Of her the
better.
Marion looked a little surprised
when he announced in he drawing
room that he was starting for London
next morning, but very little was said.
Esther was perplexed exceedingly,
though she vas wise enough to keep
her thoughts to herself. That there
was no cordially between her brother
and Marion was patent to everybody
who took the trouble to look, but what
the shadow was that had fallen be-
tween them she was unable to dis
cover.
Marion's stay was indefinite. The
lawyer would have to consult her fire.
uuently, and Mrs. Mawgan insisted
that she should stay nowhere but at
the Chase. Marion, in truth, was
nothing loath. She loved the place,
had loved 1t from the first, and, since
both Mrs. Mawgan and Esther were
so delightfully."- kind and there would
be no complications or misunderstood
ings on Clements account, she fell in
to the arrangement with a heart full
of thanksgiving.
Clement drove away next morning
with very mingled feelings. When he
went away to London before it was
to find Marion. Now he was going
away to forget her.

GRAFTON Has a Visitor.

In another week Grayton was sufh-
GENTLY recovered to be removed to
his lodgings in st. Chloe, but the doc
tors we're unanimous that it would
be many months before he preached
again. Grayton himself, despite his
usual CHEEKY optimism. was quite de-
spondent about the matter. and be-
lieved that his preaching days were
at an end.
1t was a slow journey from Rowns-
killy to st. Chloe, in a closed ambu-
lance, SO that no one saw him except
those who were in immediate attend
ance upon him. He bore the jolting
with great patience and a considera-
BILE amount of cheerfulness, but when
at length he found himself in his own
bed and in the old familiar room he
had great difficulty in keeping back
the tears of thankfulness that welled
up into his eyes.
Mrs. Tamblyn hustled about with a
lump in her throat which she did her
best to swallow. She wanted to talk,
to say something appropriate to the
occasion, but every time she tried she
felt-as she expressed it afterwards
as though she were going to make "a
complete silly of herself"
For a day or two after his removal
GRAFTON seemed to be considerably
worse: then he began to pick up
again. He was lying alone one after
noon listening in a dreamy sort of
way to the intermittent noises that
1oated into his room, and wondering
vaguely what the future had in store
for him. when there came a gentle
knock at his bedroom door.
He scarcely needed 1t at first; his
mind was far away from his present
surroundings. Moreover, the nurse
that was still In attendance upon him
during q part Of each day had gone
for her usual walk, and Mrs. Tambiyn

The quaint custom of hunting the

for the jury's dinner at the annual
Court Baron, has just been revived
at Chard.
The custom has been discarded for
the last forty years, but in the old
time it excited a great deal of inter

hunt the Manor lands in the morning,
and the first hare killed was sen
back to the chief hotel for the dinner
of the jury appointed at the Court
Baron.
1t is said that another feature of
the dinner was an enormous bowl OF
punch, the contents of which would
cost as much as IS. The young Ear.
Poulett, who is the lord Of the ano
Of Chard, brought over the Seavington
pack of hounds this week and the
Mayor presented his lordship with a

souvenir of the occasion. Later in the

and the hunted hare was served up
