No town in this state or in
any other for that matter, can
expect to thrive and prosper
without she concentrated effort
of its citizens and the judicious
expenditure of money. The
towns in our state today that
are prosperous are the ones that
have donated literally 10 enter
prises which employ labor.
Thus it is and always will be
that the liberal and broad
guaged town will thrive while
the tight listed ones are strug-

SHORT
SHAVINCS

A bashful young man at a down
town restaurant tried to start a
filtration with the girl who waited
on him. He ordered his sandwich
Iand coffee, and though he was dy-
ing to speak to her, couldn't screw
his courage to the sticking point.
In desperation, he asked for a
glass of water. She brought it. He
drank it. Then he asked for an
other, and drank it; then for a
third, which. after a struggle, he
also managed to swallow.
Then, suddenly, he looked her
squarely in the eye with frantic
stare, and asked:
whats your Nance"
Mary, sir" she answered, de-
murely.
rs that so?" he said. And that
was all. He left the restaurant
without saying another word to her.

WANTS 100000 FROM
MRS. JEFFERSON
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, March 30.-Suit for
100000 has been brought against
Mrs. Joseph jefferson by James w.
Morrissey. The three grounds for
the action are malicious prOsecu-
ton, false Imprisonment and SIAN
der.
Morrissey, who had been man.
ager of Madison Square garden for
several years and promoter of
theatrical enterprises, says he was
authorized to collect money for the
proposed memorial to Joseph JEFF
ferson, and was to get 20 per cent
of what he collected
A short time afterward Mrs. JEFF
ferson withdrew her consent to
Morrissey's dictatorship. That was
in 1907. He continued to collect
and was arrested in June, 1907, on
a charge of doing business as an or
ganization without having filed the
proper papers with the county
clerk.

ELEPHANTS FRIENDS"
IS NEW SOCIETY
(By United Press Leased Wire)

10y oTItCo IICSS tCdSCd
PARIS, March 30.-The "Ele-
plants Friends" is the name of a
newly formed society here today for
the purpose of checking wanton
slaughter of the pachyderms in
Africa and Asia.
The formation of the society just
on the eve of Roosevelt's entry into
Paris from his triumphant African
hunt is causing considerable COM
ment.
The society believes that the ele-
plant is threatened with extinction
unless some action is taken to pre-
vent 1t. In all of Africa there are
not more than $4,000 elephants re-
naming, so that at the present rate
of slaughter the African elephant
will not last many years.

has to be an athlete-no tin sol

tainly has to be going some to

they get out of bed and are out
on the street in 16 seconds. In
answer to day calls they are out
on the street and on the roll, as
the chief put it, in 6 or Z seconds.
The chief responds to every call
of fire either night or day, and the
men are under his direction at all
times.
"They work under the same dis
cipline," continued the chief, as
the men of the army or navy, only
the firemen are more confined.
They have only "a hours rellef IN

annual vacation. Each man has
three meal hours a day. They leave

air of severity.

The stern look soon changed to
a smile when asked ii the married
or unmarried men were most in de-
mand? The unmarried men was
the first guess. Sure said the
chief. THE single men are pre-

of death or accident there is not
such an expense to the relief fund
as there is in the case of a married
man who has wife and children
which have to be looked after.

at once. Gov. Stubs will also ask

ject
