TIME
 IS WITH US AGAIN How Sweet and How Beau tiful for Brethren to Dwell Together in Unity.

l Really Wonderful is the Interest Taken
 in the General Welfare of the Wives
 and Babies, the Health, the Cattle
 and Even the Voters BrindIe Pup.
 Fall has so often been called the sad time of the year that we wonder how it is going to strike the general reader when we declare there isn't a sad thing about it, especially along about election time. Though the leaves may fall and bowling winds whistle, brotberly and sisterly love seems to reign when candidates are up for office in both the little and big towns. s-. 27.
 One sometimes wishes there might be candidates up for something all the year round, if only for the neighborly inter est it awakens in our hearts for each others cats, dogs, general health, babies, crops, etc. It is so good to come in fo= your share of attention these lovely mel low days; to be noticed, even though for brief period, is such an exhilirating experience after long season in which you have been simply known to exist in your town and that is all.
 We all do so enjoy being asked after our health, and perhaps our wife's health these molten, golden days, and to get an unlocked for invitation to pink tea, banded with blue polka dots, or striped affair with French knots in the coffee or you are electrified by hay ing some one who hasn't spoken to you in year, clasp you fondly by the arm and ask you if your hens are laying well. Its nice its really fine to meet with the friendly interchange of ideas that obtain candidate time. It refreshes the soul, makes you feel that life is one grand sweet song, and disinterested brotherly ] love a dead sure thing. Your heart glows with the feeling that you are loved for yourself alone and no one wants your vote.
 If you happen to be candidate, you simply adore everybody you meet-ex- cept the other candidate; you've no use for him-and every fellow. townsman and his wife looks good to you and you can't help hoping. that you are looking good to them.
 Yes, the fall election time is undoubt- edly the season when our neighbors look their best to us, if we are up for office, and the time when brotherly love is in perigee. But after election, like the last l leaves on the tree, our interest in each other quickly drops. The candidates wife, be he the defeated one or not. con- siders, pink. striped, or spotted teas a bore, and you yourself, if you are de- feated or victorious, cease to take any further interest in your neighbor's brindled COW or pup.
 But let us enjoy to the full these blessed days. short though they be, of such intense interest in each others welfare and sing with the bibulous poet "I could not die in autumn, l With peaches it for eatin';
 When the wavy corn is in the shock And candidates are treatin',
 When sassidge meat is fryin'
 An hick'ry nuts is thick
 Gee! who wud think o'dying,' Er even gittin' sick !''

trial
The announcement that the United
States will honor the requisitlon OF
the Italian government was made at
the state department by Secretary OF
state Knox. II came as a decided sur
prise. the general Impression having
been that this government would de.
cline TO surrender Charlton because OF
the construction which the Italian gov
eminent has placed on the extraditiou
treaty between the two countries
In the event of the state department
having refused tn requisition. Charl
ton, although a self-confessed muir.
derer, would have walked out a free
man, because the United States courts
have no jurisdiction 10 try the case.
Now the young man will be turned
over to the Italian authorities as soon
as papers can be made out, provided
the extradition isn't attacked in the
United States courts on habeas corpus
proceedings.
Il is practically certain, however,
that counsel for Charlton will take ad.
vantage OF their legal opportunities to
oppose extTadition. The usual proce-
dure would be TO bring him into court
on a habeas corpus writ by means of
which not only the merits of the muir
der case. but also the points involved
in the extradition. could be reviewed.
Charlton having confessed 20 the muir
der. will have to confine his opposition
to the legal points involved in the ex-
tradition.
In any event. life Imprisonment is
the severest penalty that may be i'm
posed upon him, as the laws of Italy
forbid capital punishment

present that he has money In a col

like amount at once 60 the person
who is writing the letter OF advanc-
ing him small sum OF money until

letters has been lost near Thimble

has been carrying on this kind Of
swindling for about two years. that
boat is presumably wrecked every

the letter be sent 10 him in care OF
the person who advances the money.
He never comes back TO see II the
money comes as he directs. We
have written continuously to the
people, who send these letters, but
we have had quite a time to keep up
with him.
