ter, Who Will Wed C. C.. Rumsey.
Miss Mary Hartman. who is to
marry Chn.les Cary Rumsey of Buff
falo and New York on Thursday. May
26. is the second daughter of the late
Edward III. Hartman, the railway
maGnate. who died on Sept. 0, 1909,
n is II of six children who will
fall heir to one of the largest fortunes
of the world.
Miss Mary Hartman, who was
made an executor of the immense es-
tate left by her father, showed that
she had inherited a good deal of his
business capabil;ty when in the month
following his death she and her moth
er decided that the girl herself had
better take personal charge of the op-
Grafton of the vast estate at Arden,
n. Y. She had always been interest
ed in sports and in the natural life of
outdoor excitement and pleasure which
the American girl, when she has op-
portunity to do so, usually leads. But
now b showed that she possessed a
talent of no mean order for executive
work on a large scale. On Oct. %.
1909, she formally took charge of the
Arden farms dairy and assumed the
management of the $4,000 acres of the
Hartman Orange county farms, and
since that time she has actually been
running them herself.
outdoor sports. such as tennis. horse
back riding and automobiling, have al
ways been of the keenest interest to
Miss Hartman. Since she has been
old enough TO go around without a
nurse she has spent days on the roads
and hillsides and in the great forests
of the vast Arden estate.
Charles Cary Rumsey is a son of
Laurence d. Rumsey of Buffalo. The
family is wealthy and socially promi-
nent and has lived in Buffalo for a
long time. Young Mr.. Rumsey is a lit
tie less than thirty years old and has
shown much promise in modelling and
sculpture work. He studied for a time
at Harvard and later spent several
years in Paris at the BeauX Arts. Fol-
lowing his return to the United States
he has continued his work and has had
a number of groups in exhibitions
which have won praise from critics.
He is a splendid horseman, an expert |
polo player and has won many prizes
and trophies of his skill at horse
shows.

At the Court House.

It seems that our dear little county
clerk is at variance with the editor
of the Indianola Reporter, and when
Charley gets into trouble he always
tries to divide laurels with the county
attorney. This time he divides it up
in this manner:
Sidney Dodge filed a complaint
against a farmers wife of Drift
wood precinct with the clerk of
the district court charging her
with insanity. The insanity
board could not find a trace OF
insanity in the woman and dis
charged her. The costs in the
case is $3.50, and the tax pay
ers of this county will have it to
pay.
Now, Charley, you poor little inno-
cent and ignorant creature, | feel o
ry for you. Did you not know that
the truth half told was ofttimes the
worst kind of a lie? No. the facts
are this: The farmers wife you al
lude to came tt my office one even
ing and wanted to prosecute her huS-
band for cruelty. Upon inquiry she
said she had been in the insane hos,
pital about a year and nine months
and was then out on parole. l asked
her if she had any place to stay that
night and she said she could stay
with one of her old neighbors who
lived here in town. She came back
in the morning and still wanted to
prosecute her husband. | left her in
the office and went and interviewed
the lady where she stayed all night.
The lady cOrrOborated her statement
as to insanity, and thought she was
not altogether right yet, and not safe.
| thought the best way out of the
matter was to file a complaint of in
sanity, bring in the witnesses and try
both cases at once, and find out if
she was insane and subject to be sen

been i'll treated as she alleged
(Which | did. The board found she
was not a fit subject for the insane
hospital and l could not find any evil
dence that would convict her husband
of cruelty or assault and battery.
The cost in the case was $3.50
which was less than half it would
cost to try the case she wanted to
file a complaint in.
Now, Charley, you poor little much
abused creature, if you will try and
learn to attend to your own business
you may possibly come out yet, and
grow to be quite a man. | think there
is lots of room. l have seen young
fellows who did not appear to know
much more than you do, who, with
quite an effort on their part, grew
up and made quite men of them
With respect, your friend,
SIDNEY DODGE.

There is a growing impression and

cans are too e~Xtravagant in our spend

This conviction includes the govern

vidual citizens. Extravaganza and
wastefulness, when they have done

servation, America needs a\cam-

SERUM FOR INFANT PARALYSIS


At Springfield, H., where an cpl
demic of infantile paralysis has pre-
vailed for some weeks, two child vic
tins of this terrible malady are said
to be recovering through the use of
new serum. They are the daughters
of Congressman Lowden, and the
treatment is administered by Chicago
specialists. The state board OF
health will make further tests before
officially indorsing the new treatment.
In an article in the curren- Col
lier's, Hutchins says that this disease
has recently been shown to be caused
by an organism so small that it can
pass through the finest bacterial
filter. Experiments on monkeys in the
Rockefeller Institute have enabled
DIR. Flexner to isolate this minute and
invisible but living creature. That
it lives is proved by the fact that ex-
tremelv small quantities of the virus
from one suffering with the disease
will carry infection through an in
definite series of animals. They have
! propagated the virus now through
twenty-five generations of monkeys
4 and as many removes from the orig
iral human virus, and, in the words OF
DR.. Flexner, "the activity of the virus
for the monkeys has increased rather
than diminished" 1t is further said
that it is now certain that many chill
dren have the disease without any re
c,,ltinr nara1vciS and while those
pass unnoticed, they are capable O
conveying the disease as effectively a:

Teach me, Father how to go
Softly as the grasses grow;
Hush my soul to meet the shock
Of the wild world as rock;
But my spirit, prompt with power,
Make as simple IS a flower;
Let the dry heart fill its cup,
Like the poppy looking up;
Let Life lightly wear her crown,
Like the poppy looking down.
When its neart is filled with dew,
and it's life begins anew.
Teach me Father. how to be
Kind and patient as a tree;
Joyfully the crlckets crcon
Under shady oak at noon
Beetle, on his mission bent,
Tarries in that cooling tent;
Let me also cheer a spot
Hidden fed or garden grot-
Place where passing souls can rest
On the way and be their best.

AUTOS FOR RURAL CARRIERS.

Az IOS fOh RURAL OAnniErS'
Washington advices say that Post
master General Hitchcock, in work
ing out his economy plan for the
rural delivery service, has no inten-
ton of reducing the number OF car
riers now in the service. Mr.. Hitch
cock, knows how members of con-
gress and other influential govern
ment officials and private citizens
feel about looping off the heads OF
employees of his or any other eX.
ecutive department However, the
postmaster general is convinced
that economy would result by the
Introduction of light automobiles
where the roads are good and the
general region is level He believes
one man thus equipped could cover
several times as much ground as a
man with horse and do it in less
time. A Washington dispatch says
in reference to the matter:
Such plan would have to be con-
fined to new routes for the present
because of the protests that would
follow changes calculated to retire
a lot of rural carriers. The law
limits the salary of rural carrier
to 5000. Few carriers would be will
ing to purchase automobiles for
this pay. They now provide their
own equipment Efforts to obtain
an allowance for the care of horses
and equipment has failed.
Mr.. Hitchcock's idea is to have
the government provide the automo-
biles. Congress would have to
amend the existing law, and undoubt-
eddy would be slow to do so, es.
pecially if the change looked like
an effort to retire lot of carriers
The postmaster general. however
hopes to be able to try out the plan
in the near future"
1t is stated in the same connection
that postmasters all over the countr.
are reporting that rural carriers o.
their offices are vying with eacf
other to increase the efficiency of the
service. The desire for greater eff
ficiency has proven contagious

A BLOW AT TECHNICAL DELAYS

A BLOW AT TECHNICAL DELAYS.
The United States supreme court
has ruled that a mans rights are not
violated when jury trying him for
murder is allowed to separate and
read the papers during trial. S1mll-
arly the court sustained the lower
court in having refused to send the
jury out during arguments on the ad-
instability of evidence. The highest
court also ruled that the requiring OF
the accused to put on coat said TO
have been worn when the crime
charged was committed waS not the
same as requiring the prisoner to tes-
tifv against himself. These rulings
are all in line with the popular de-
manf that courts of appeal do not
make use of mere technicalities to
upset verdicts or delay punishment.
They were made in refusing to inter
fere with the sentence of life imprls'
onment imposed by the federal circuit
court of western Washington upon j.
Fl. Holt. convicted of having r.ardered

course is to have the jury out during
