It served his purpose to get rid OF

alive to the fact that If he resorted
to violence and detained her by force
Dorothy would rouse such a commo-

and spoil his chance of becoming her
real husband and living in luxury.
With cold, trembling hands the girl
had prepared for her instant de-
parture. Her passion was still at
fever heat, and when in an unhappy

her to caress before she parted from

l. The Dictionary

Most people seem to regard the die
tlonary as they do northumberland
able and to be used only as a help in
time oil trouble. Yet believe one can
acquire very good substitute for a
college course by diligent study OF the
dictionary. Beside that, no book I've
ever read interested me as deeply as the
dear old Webster's Unabridged | used
to love in my childhood.
Not long ago bright girl was chat
ting with me on the interesting Though
often incendiary) topic of writing for
publication. When | said to her ''Be
sure to fortify yourself with a big die
tionary, she shrieked with laughter
as If | had said, "My dear, use big
words at all times"
Now that is another prevalent delu-
sion about dictionaries-tha they are
sacred to big words-but we know they
have more little words than big ones,
Much has been written on the use of
short words, but they are like hash, if
strictly adheared to, while big words
are like slices Of juicy roasts.

What intended to say to all girls
interested in writing is to refer to a
dictionary for the real meaning of
words so as to cultivate accuracy and
precision. | have often wondered why
American women ceased using the
good old words, dress and frock, in
describing their clothes. Now every
one is reported as being gowned in
stead of dressed, Excuse yourself a
moment and look into the unabridged.
You have seen Mrs. Albert Bond in
that students gown of black silk and
you have seen pictures of the judges of
the supreme court of the United States
in their official robes and Theodore
RoOseveIt's picture in his Oxford gown
that looks rather like a Chinese kimo-
ma.
A frock was originally the robe of a
priest or monk and is defined also as
a woman's garment that opens in the
back. So frocks are in fashion now if
they never were before.

President Stone of Purdue
Urges the Extension of
Teaching in State.
FA1HERED BY DoLLIvER
INDIANA coNGREssMEN RECEIVE
LETTERS ASKING THAT THEY
VOTE FOR THE AGRICULTURE
Al BILL.

Washington, March IA strong
plea for federal aid for agricultural
extension work is contained in a let
ter which Dr. w. E. Stone, president
of Purdue university, has written to
all Indiana congressman.
The particular bill advocated by the
president of Purdue was introduced by
Senator Deliver, and involves plan
of educational work, including instruc-
/ ton, demonstration and practical
! teaching in agricultural, horticultural,
and other subjects to persons who are
not in attendance at the colleges. The
bin has been approved by the Nation
al Grange and by the Association OF
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment
Stations.
Concerning the practical value of
Stone writes:
Our farmers institutes have for
| twenty-five years been doing some
| thing along this line and recently the
| legislature has appropriated $4,000
annually to the experiment station to
enlarge this work.
Farmers Want Work Enlarged.
These activities have reached out
into all parts of our state, Just enough
| to demonstrate to the people their
value.
You probably know something OF
the district farmers short courses, OF
the corn trains, of the educational ex
periments at the county farms, of the
interest in the public schools in form
ing boys corn clubs and girls do
mestic science clubs. From every
part of the state farmers are writing
to us to enlarge upon this kind O
work and it is impossible for us to de
SO with the means at hand.
"The Importance of this bill is ap
parent at this time when there is sucl
widespread dissatisfaction with con
ditions of life. such interest in tn,
matter Of conserving our natural re
sources and so much criticism Of tn,
general attitude Of congress in recog
nizing the great combinations of CAPT
tai and the interests and ignoring thu
needs of the common people"

ell last night by c. b. Shelly, the only
Socialist office holder in Dauphin

Toward the close of the session
Councilman Shelly broke loose with an
anti-graft speech of the most virulent
kind. He ran practically the entire
gamut of the evils of the day. and
wound up with an assault upon the
Central Pennsylvania Traction compa-
ny. of Harrisburg. which operates a
line through here.
Then he pulled from one pocket a
book Of passes which the traction com
pany had sent him as councilman,
and from another pocket he produced a
match. In a moment the passes were
in flames. and with the improVised
torch Shelly lighted cigar. Then he
sat down.

the European art room after the jani-
tor had busted the pictures at 8 o'clock
and at 1920 the loss Of the painting
was discovered. The robber was an
expert. for with a sharp knife or razor
he cut the canvas clear around the in
side of the frame without disturbing
the burlap which covered the back.
Then. it is thought. he rolled the can
vas on cane, thus escaping with it
without attracting notice. No one

The painting is the property of Miss

Francis Daubigny.
The stolen painting was insured
against fire for $4,000. 1t hung with
others in a large room and people were
passing constantly along the corridor.
Just twenty-five years ago today San
Francisco was startled by the theft of
Toby Rosenthals painting, Elaine

valued at 5000, and was recovered
several years afterward.
