Whites story of being paid $3.50 in
Springfield and $3.50 in Chicago by

ly after the noon recess was taken.
Says Luke Confessed.
Springfield, Ill, Sept 26.-Special
Assistant States Attorney Sidney S.
Breese Saturday night declared that
Hugh Murray, prosecutor of Clinton
county, had a confession from Charles
Luke, former representative, now
dead, in which the latter declared he
had received $1,000 for voting for
Senator William Lorimer.
According to Breese, Murray stated
that Luke did not name the person
who gave him the bribe. In connec-
ton with his statement that he receiv-
ed $1,000, Luke is quoted as saying
that 'Beckemeyer is a fool if he did
not get some money, too"
While Murray's testimony will not
be available for use before any OF the
regular courts of Illinois, it is believ-
ed it could be used before the senator
ial committee which is to investigate
the bribery charges next Monday.

The girl who finds herself on the out

painful effort, for persons with this char

force themselves forward into public

Of will-power compel themselves 10 DO It.
1t means so much to them that it is
worth the effort.
Those who are on the inside should
give a little thoughtful consideration to
the outsiders and help them TO get in.
We have advanced beyond the chicken
stage of existence, and we should give
proof Of our advance.
The girl who is a belle can take little

Those who are on the outside Of things

The Washington herald., 1910-09-02

A countrywoman in describing a little
pet chicken which was a weakling. and
which she had taken great pains to raise,
said: He wouldn't grow. He was al
ways on the outside Of things"
1t was an apt phrase. applicable 70
people as well as chickens. Haven't you
seen many a person who is always on
the outside of things lowering around on
the edge, anxious to share In the good
times but afraid TO strike in and get his
share?
You see girls in society with this trait.
They are always OF the outside OF the
fun. When there Is planning going for
ward for some jollihcation they hover
about, but somehow or other they do
not get into the thick Of IT, Invitations
are fying. their girl friends are going
everywhere. but they sit lonesome at
home
You see men Of this stamp In business.
Their fellow-business men forge ahead.
they are active in this or that enter
prise, but these start by helpless and
look on, anxious to take a hand. but
somehow or other, not seeming able to
know how to do it.
There are two reasons. perhaps for
this state Of affalrs. The people who are
on the outside are timid and hesltating:
the people who are on the inside are
busy with their own interests and do not
notice these left-out brothers and sisters,
or else are selhshly Indifferent TO them.
Some Of US. If we are on the inside. have
not advanced very far from the chicken
