NO PLACE FOR NAUGHTY MAN
Aged servitor's Caution couched with
Little Sentiment and Much
Sense.

A naughty citizen once strolled in
to the supreme court at Washington
when an argument was being heard
and took a seat In the Enclosure re-
served for lawyers After he had
been there few minutes an attendant
came over and asked him: Are you
member Of the barr"
The naughty person wasn't, but ne
took out his card with flourish and
handed 1t over.
The attendant received the card
gravely, carried 1t to the clerk, who
glanced at it and gave some instruc-
tons.
A moment later the naughty citizen
was touched on the shoulder and
asked to retire.
'Why?" he asked. 81 sent up my
card. 1t usually gives me a seat in
any court in the land"
Certainly" said the attendant;
but please retire
The naughty citizen did retire.
When he got out in the corridor he
fumed and fused bit.
Sir" admonished the aged negro
at the door, who has been there for
many years, think it over. Don't do
no persifagin' bout that cot. If you
should git in contempt of them you
amt got nobody to appeal to but

Carthage High Was Beaten by Quincy
Saturday by the Score
Of Fifteen to
Nothing.
JACKSONVILLE WIN S
Defeats chaddock Military Academy
Ottumwa Gives #. Madl
son an Awful
Drubbing.

Besides the game here with Bur-
lington there are other battles which
the fans were no doubt interested in,
owing to the fact that competing
teams had played or will play the local
team. At Carthage, Quincy won her
first game of the season, after having
tied five, by the count of Is to 0.
Jacksonville defeated the Chaddock
Military School, also of Quincy. by the
same score, making all the points in
the first half, while Ottumwa, who
took Keokuk to two drubbings last
year. gave Fort Madison the small
end Of 70 to 0, with Van Gent play
ing at full back.
The reports from the Quincy-Car-
thage game indicate that the victors
completely ouclassed their opponents,
who were unable to get within strik-
ing distance Of the goal. Captain
Campbell and Schwab were the chief
ground gamers for the down river
bunch, and were always good for the
necessary distance. They played
straight football largely.
At Jacksonville the high school
team of that place, by playing forward
passes and onside kicks to advantage,
took their game from Chaddock. The
visitors did not kick on the negro
player and are well pleased with the
treatment they received at the hands
of the Lunatic city people. Keokuk
will undoubtedly have good time
when they go there on Thanksgiving
day.
The u to 0 score which resulted in
the Ottumwa-Fort Madison game, is
one of the largest recorded yet this
year at any place. Ottumwa made 10
touchdowns and kicked goals, using
scarcely any trick plays. Their line
was far superior to their opponents,
who had no show at all Ottumwa

capture. The boy was greatly sur
prised, but made q bold front, and
stated that he thought he had heard
Mr.. Ackles calling him; also that he
was afraid some one was in the
house and wanted to see If the money
was safe.
The boys plea at first was that Of
innocence, but when he learned that
Mr.. Ackles had been on to his move
ments, he tmplored mercy. He ask
ed that his parents not be told of it
and further stated that If they were
he would leave home. He also said
he would pay double for what he had
taken.
Mr.. Ackles took the boy to his
home and while talking to the par
ents the boy made his escape through
a window. Thinking the boy might
carry out his threat and try to escape
from the city an effort was immedi-
ately made to follow the boy. 1t
was necessary to secure Daley's blood
hounds.
Saved From Reform School.
Word was Immediately sent to Mar
shall Henry Kesselring and he was
driven to Messengerville by Chief
John Anderson, OF the fire depart
ment.
When the boy was put through a
sweat siege by the Marshal he den
led his guilt. At first it was thought
the boy might be sent to the reform
school, but the parents were plung-
ed into such grief by the arrest that
arrangements were made to allow the
boy one more opportunity Of making
good and behaving himself. Later he
was returned to his home.
A serious feature of the boys work
is that he has been instructing his
younger brother in the art of steal
ing. People living nearby state that
he compels the little lad to do what
he wants him to, or If not he whips
him. Albert attends the Terrence
school and it is expected that he will
be better boy in the future
