IMPORTANT NEWS.

Reading the news of the day in my
evening paper. | found, tucked away
in an obscure corner in small type,
this story
John Weiss of Lawrenceburg. Ind
was arrested for stealing two loaded"
dice from saloon keeper
Sordid tale. that.
Weiss, said to myself. probably
was low saloon loafer. And if he
did steal loaded dice why, few things
are meaner than to cheat In game
Of chance
But
Weiss has wife. She often visited
him in the jail. and they seemed de-
voted to each other.
One day the jailer thought he de-
tected Weiss in the act of passing
small package to his wife. All, ha.
He demanded the package.
The wife wept. which confirmed, the
jailer's suspicion. Weiss declared it
was nothing The jailer insisted, and
finally Mrs. Weiss gave him the pack
age.
The iailer took the little bundle into
the Jail office and carefully opened it.
1t might contain dynamite. you know.
And when he had united the strings
What do you think he found?
The greater part of the meal he had
furnished Weiss,
Then the poor wife tearfully told the
jailer the facts. Since her husband
had been locked up she had no way
to get money and was on the verge
of starvation
And this man Weiss denied himself
and saved the best bits of the. meager
prison fare to give to his famished
wife.
Not much of a story?
No In that same newspaper was
important, news of the world. at home
and abroad. great happenings digni-
fed by much exploitation Of space and
big type.
But
Somehow the Weiss story stuck In
my memory more than all the others
The limelight turned for a brief in
slant into an obscure place had re-
veaied touching tale.
Big happenings in the paper today:
Yes. Why should the Weiss picture
loom SO large in my recollection?
