TURNS AGAINST MOTHER.
Hazel Ball Testiies Against Her
Likes stepfather every Much"

Salina, Kan, June 17.-That when
Mrs. Churchill left him, Charles O.
Churchill a Salena expert joiner, began
paying attentions to his Wife'S 17-year-
old daughter, Miss Hazel Ball is what
attorneys for Mrs. Della Churchill claim
in the course of her suit for divorce
against Churchill.
Il stayed at Churchill's after my
mother had gone, with Mr.. Churchill
and my step sister, the girl said.
WAS Churchill always nice to
you she was asked.
yes, he has been very nice and
like him very much
Judge Dallas Grover granted Mrs.
ChurchilPs petition for divorce.
Il feel that the mother is the natural
guardian of the girl until she becomes
of age" the Judge said.
But here it seems that the girl has
overcome her natural liking for the
mother in preference to the stepfath-
err
This case is the only one tried in the
Saline county court in which daugn-
ter testified against her own mother in
favor of her stepfather.
She gave the testimony against her
mother The mother, it seems, did not
like the fact that her second husband
paid attention to his stepdaughter, and
forbade the girl having anything to do
with her stepfather. The girl testified
as to her stepfather's attentions toward
her. which she said were only those
such as a father should accord his own
child, and she was Inundated by her
mothers suspicious of her. The mother
asks that the stepfather be restrained
from having anything to do with Hazel.

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

I'VE pride ourselves, in weighing
worth and merit,
Too much in virtues that we but in
herit.
Some punctual grandsire makes us
hate delay
And we are proud to keep our oath
and day.
But our ancestral follies and abuses
We still indulge in and make for them
excuses.
Let him be proud, dared men be proud
Who stands where all his fathers used
to fall,
Holding their virtues fast and passing
Still higher good through his own vic
tories won"
II. o. Rankin
Yes. I suppose shouldn't have said
that, but you know I am naturally
quick tempered. inherit it from my
father, think. You know he had an
uncomfortable tongue"
So I heard a woman say the other
day. She said it very complacently
and apparently felt entirely content
and justified in her excuse.
Isn't that queer and yet a common
state of mind ?-to think that because
one is born with a predisposition to
some particular fault ones yielding
to it thereby becomes entirely excus-
able?
Il can't help being obstinate. It's
regular family trait. The Bartletts
never could give up anything they
really set their hearts on
"Oh, well. you mustn't blame me for
being rather revengefuL We're all
that way. It's in the blood never to
forget q friend or forgive an enemy
Il suppose I am rather quick to
jump at conclusions, but that's my
natural disposition. You mustn't lay
it up against me-"
How complacently and with what
serene Standardization people go
about saying things like that.
If anything, it seems as If they
were proud rather than ashamed Of
their inherited failings.
Now of course the fact that one is
naturally very weak in some direc-
temptations of that sort a little often
er than other people. But 1t would
not explain ones yielding all the
time And it wouldn't excuse ones
yielding at all
Someone has said, while we are
not responsible for the character
that we bring into the world, we are
RESPONSIBLE for that we take OUT
It seems to me that sums up the
while situation in a sentence.
We aren't responsible for having a
tendency to be quick ten pered or pig
certainly are responsible If We do
nothing to conquer it. And doubly
responsible, too-both fer ourselves
and the generations that are to in
herit our unconquered weaknesses.
I'VE gain the strength of the temp
tation we resist says Goethe
Better still, We not only gain it, but
we pass it on to countless generations
and take away from them the weaken
ing prop of being able to say, 81 am
ouick-tempered I am pfg-headed, ]
am unforgiving- it's in the
family"

Here Mr.. BoWser broke down, and
after struggling with his emotions for
a couple of minutes he handed over
the will and was about to say some
thing when the doorbell rang and Mrs.

but the next morning he was ready
to say:

MIR. BowsER's CANCER.
He Looks over His VIII and Prepares
for the Worst.

After dinner Mr.. Bowser lighted a
cigar and took stroll in his garden
That is, he called it his garden. He
had planted five hills of sunhowers,
and three burdocks were already
showing their green heads above the
soil, and so he had a right to call it a
garden.
The sun was sinking away to rest,
having been on the move all day. Now
and then some weary woman threw
a tomato can from a second or third
story window, and now and then a
boy pegged at a cat licking herself
on the fence.
It was a peaceful scene-fit ending
for a peaceful day.
There might have been more robins
and bluebirds and orioles and bobo-
links and nightingales to sing the sun
to rest, but even Mr.. Bowser realized
as he gazed around him that we can't
have all the good things of this world
at once A feeling of balminess was
stealing over him, and he was about
to speak to the cat in tones of kindIi-
ness and courtesy when

FISH. TOE AND RING UNITE.
First Loses and Second Finds a We'd
ding Circlet.

Pottstown, PA fish thai was too
small to take home and a girl with a
Cinderella foot figured very oddly IN
the loss and recovery of a wedding
ring that Mrs. Harvey Wilson, wife of
a Pcttstown undertaken, dropped in
Saylor's mill dam over in Chester
county several days ago..
The ring slipped from Mrs. Will
sons finger when she tossed a dimin-
utive bass back into the dam. The
water was partly drawn off in a vain
effort to find it, and then the offer
ing of a reward for the missing jew
elry made the juveniles of the neigh
borhood get busy.
While a party of them were wad-
ing the dam today a 1~4-year-old girl
| felt something slip over one of her
toes. She imagined that it was a
snake and gave a scream, but an eX-
animation showed that it was Mrs.
Wilson's lost wedding ring and hur-
ried to town with it to receive the re-
ward.

VICIOUS BULLOCK SUICIDES.
Kills Self After Fierce Battle With
Its Master.

Pittsburg, Pa.-When John and
Daniel Hillard, brothers, left their
home in Turtle Creek they cautioned
the maid to chain the bulldog, but
she went to bed and left the animal
unclaimed. The brothers returned
home at midnight and 10 sooner had
they come into the house than the
dog leaped at them.
Unable to coa the animal off, one
bl other took up a chair, the other a
broom, and together they gave battle
to the animal in the dimly-lighted
room. The dog chased them over the
entire first floor, all three leaping
tables, chairs, stove and piano. After
more than 20 minutes Of fearful at
tack with the maid too frightened to
call aid, the men were able to unlock
a door and rush upstairs, the dog
swapping behind. =
The battle ended when a broom
stick was stabbed down the dogs
throat. The dog then rushed into
the cellar and butted repeatedly
against the wall, finally killing itself
