Sorry for Helen


In the days when his friend Mat
terly was paying court to the present
Mrs. Matterly and deity leading up
to the state of domestic bliss which
the Matterlys have experienced for
fully two years, Kennison also was a
worshiper at the shrine, though a
diffident and unobtrusive one. 1t was
the surprise of Kennisons life when
Matterly mentioned in an offhand way
that he and Helen were going to be
married month or so later.
Kennison had a hallucination that
Helen would have brought up the mat
ter Of marriage for discussion with
him very soon had she not been trick
ed into a promise by Matterly. He at
tended the wedding as chief mourner
and then he had felt profoundly sorry
for Helen ever afterward. Indeed. he
carried it to the length of feeling a
certain delicacy about calling upon
the Matterlys-he feared Mrs. Matter
ly might be upset by the revival of old
memories.
Therefore he SHE'D like a skittish
horse when Matterly cornered him
downtown one day and insisted upon
his paying them a visit.
Where on earth have you been
keeping yourself?" demanded Matter
ly. Helen has asked me forty times
If l ever saw you"
Kennison flushed and stammered.
Helen had been asking for him! Hell.
en- had been wondering where he was,
IL was as he had feared-she had not
ben able to forget!
Come out and look us over" said
Matterly. We've got the finest little
nut you ever put your foot in. Helen
gave me strict orders If ever I ran
across you to drag you out to see her
"nen can you come to dinnerT
Dinner! Kennison gasped at the
thought of sitting opposite Helen
while she miserably Contemplated
what might have been. He knew tbo
salad would choke him and that he
would perish in agony before the des-
sert came on.
You'll really have to excuse mo
old man." he said. II never dino

WHAT'S the matter, you old fossils,
demanded Matterly. Don't you know
how to behave at table2 Come On
take a chance! Well let You do tbe
whole trick with the same fork. If vou
want to-" 'O~
mo, it isn't that" said Kenn,son
Then, seeing no way out of 1t, he add.

or a little while-just for a chat WITH

added.

Moline Peddler Gets Into Trou-
BILE in This City As a
Result.
OTHER TROUBLES PILE UP
Made 60 Pay an Old Doctor Bill While
Iiere-Left Town Considerable
Sadder and Wiser.

A peddler from Moline. who has
been working pretty neat game on
the Rock Island police for long time,
was caught yesterday afternoon and
he experienced a string of troubles 81
a result OF his arrest that will proba
bly, make him fight shy of this city IN
the future. His name is Pete Bayoros
and he halls from Moline, where re
has taken out a license TO peadle
fruit, vegetables and the like. He has
always made it a point to peddle in
the east end of this city early in the
morning, when he knew that the Off
Ger who is on that beat had not YET
arrived He could peddle to the HON les
between Forty-second street and the
city limits and get back to Moline be-
fore he was caught and asked for his
license. His success in getting away
terday he fell to temptation and Wis
tied the forbidden precincts during the
afternoon, whereupon he was arrested
by officer Dennis Bennett ard brought
to the police station.
Trouble Commences.
When first brought in he pretended
that he was unable to speak English.
and he put up a bluff until Police
Magistrate c. ]. Smith assessed him
a fine of $40 and costs. Then he grew
excited and showed that he possess II
a very good vocabulary of English
cuss words at any rate. He finally
decided to pay his fine and he brought
out a roll of bills containing about
$50 and paid his fine and the costs
in the case. He had no sooner stepped
out of the station than Constable Pete
Hoverling served notice of attach
ment on him for a bill from local
doctor who had rendered him profess
sional service and who stood in a fair
way of losing his money, as Bayoros
showed no intention of ever settling.
The constable had learned CT the pr-
rest of Bayoros and as he had been
i'm possession of the necessary papers
for some time he hunted up the horse
and wagon belonging to the peddler
and served the attachment Bayoros
groaned and paid up the bill and tho
costs and his roll OF bills was con
siderably diminished.
Ends Up Broke.
After settling this bill he again
started for the livery barn where his
horse and wagon were being kept and
when he got there he was Mortified 10
find that he owed the liveryman for
feeding and caring for his horse while
1T was there. He refused to pay at
first. but the threat that he would 80
arrested again caused him TO pull out
MS wallet for the third time and set
tie his account The bill took nearly
every cent he had left and when he
drove sadly back to Moline he was
poorer in worldly possessions than
when he started out IN the morning,
but his stock Of experience had grown
considerably. and it is doubtful if II,
viii ever make flying trips into this
city to do any more peddling without
first taking the preeaution of securing
a license.

Rev. F. B. Ellis of Lake Wilson and
the Rev. Henry Snyder, pastor of the

very large congregation being present
Miss Weesner had, during her half
years residence at Woodstock, greatly
endeared herself to many people, es-

people of the Methodist Episco-

Miss Weesner was born May 9, 1884
in Bartholomew county, Indiana, and
became a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church when only six years
old, and entered into a deep religious
experience at the age of fourteen. She
was a very capable and earnest church
worker, serving efficiently in revival
services as gospel singer and personal
worker. She will be greatly missed

WORKING CAPACITY or PRESIDENTS.

When Grover Cleveland occupied the
White House it was told of him that
ne often worked twenty hours day
1t is said of him that so carefully
did he watch every detail of the
executive branch of the government
that his cabinet ministers and their
understudies were virtually figure
heads, while he did the work. Presi-
dent Mckinley performed his task
somewhat more easily, but when Theo-
dore Roosevelt took the office he re-
vived the Cleveland plan, with few
additional features of his own. Theo-
dore Roosevelt made practically all
federal appointments and dismissed
all delinquents.
The amount of detail which he
accomplished in every department
under executive control would have
broken down any man with a lesser
amount of vital force. Yet it was
supposed that President Taft would
attempt to follow the pace set by his
friend, the apostle of the strenuous
lie, WHtH lie W tlc
President Taft is resolved to do his
work thoroughly, and to do it thor
Oughly it must be done thonghtfully.
That he may be able to give all
his time to the strictly important
functions of chief magistrate, he
has turned over to each cabinet min"
lister entire control of his department
1t would be better thing for the
whole executive branch of the gov
eminent if President Taft's action
should establish a precedent that no
future president would dare to break
cabinet officials ought not to be fig
ureheads. They should be given
charge of every activity connected
with their departments, and they
should be given the power to pick the
men upon whom responsibility is to
be placed In turn, the cabinet Off
GERS should be, as President Taft has
decided, responsible to the president
for the work of their subordinates
Theodore Roosevelt was human
dynamo. He could probably accom-
plish more work in less time than any
other man in the United States. But
some of his own best efforts were
wasted, and the future will see them
being done over
