with an account Of g man killing his
wife and then himself in the Dance of
Death. She persisted on going to dances
he protested as tired Of having men on
the street say, 81 danced with her. "
''Say, how you Rugged Mrs. at the
dance last night, ooh, shaw, anyone
can hug her. She insisted, he protest
ed and he waited until ready to start,
when he put two bullets into her body
and then two into his and the neighbors
found both dead. No more dancing
with anyone, but united as man and
wife in the grave. The Post says
Another chapter of that social whirl,
the woman would go to the dance, end
any other man could hug her; he to the
dance hugging many another mans
wife or young thOughtless daughter.

in her dreams says eff she had only
married Mr." yet that night he was
dancing with every woman he could,
no respecter of any. And the next
morning the skeleton is in the closet
and the pretty sign can be turned to

young women will go to dances, dance
with every man who aeks, and the
next day walks down the street with

The utter lack Of argument against
Judge Ruppenthal's election second
time as Judge is shown by the sug-
gestione used In favor Of his opponent
and one of them is that this district
established one-term rule for judges.
This would rank the Office Of Judge
with that Of road overseer and town
ship constable in importance. In fact,
below them, because even township
officers are able to do better work IN
second term by reason Of previous
experience.
