man WHO SHOT HA-
MAKER A BAD ONE
Declared he Would not Stay in the
Penitentiary, According
to Report.

Smitch, the convict who shot Al.
len A. Hamaker, formerly Of this
city, at Anamosa a few days ago.
has not been apprehended, he and
his brother making good their es-
cape thus far. A Des Moines spec
ial of yesterday says Of him:
Charles Smitch, the young man
who broke from prison at Anamosa
last week, went to that institution
firmly resolved that he would not
stay out his time and confident that
he would escape. To companion
in Jail at Marengo he is reported to
have said:
"Well. if they do send me to
prison they'll not keep me there
long"
Smitch was a third termer, hav-
ing done time before at Anamosa
and at Ripon, Wis. The fact that
he was sent to the reformatory,
which by law is for first termers
only, exposes again the weakness of
the courts and the fact that no mat
ter how carefully the law is admin
istered mistakes will happen. Smitch
certainly should not have gone to
the reformatory, nor should he have
been out at the quarries where es-
cape is easier than elsewhere. The
fact that he was sent to Anamosa
was contrary to the spirit OF the
law, yet the parole board nor any
one in authority had any right to
change the sentence.
Smitch's theft of team Of horses
was about as open and above board
as well could have been imagined.
He went to the public hitching rack
in Marengo on a Saturday afternoon
and took the best team and buggy
he could pick out, which happened
to belong to a member of the board
of supervisors. He drove the team
eastward and by noon the next day
was at Rock Island, where he was
arrested.
Hamaker's condition continues to-
improve and it seems that his recoy-
cry is assured.

Attended National Meeting.

Eds Freeman-Tribune: l thought
perhaps your readers might be in
terested in knowing something of
the national training school OF
Spirella corsetieres held in Mead
vile, Pa, Aug. Ill, 1911, inclus-
i've. Over 400 were in attendance
at the sessions, which were held
daily, morning and afternoon. These
national training schools occur an
nually and other schools are held in
selected cities throughout the Unit
ed States and Canada during the
year. The national schools are held
IN Meadville and are always very
largely attended.
The sessions were presided over
by the executive officers of the COM
pany and an able corps of Instruct
ors in anatomy, designing, advertis-
ing, salesmanship, and many other
features pertaining to an expert
corsetiere's business.
The spirella Company has a
strong organization and spends vast
sums OF money in educating its
army of over 5000 corsetieres to
make them professional in the art
Of corsetry.
1t also looks after the comfort
and welfare of its employees with
jealous care and is one Of the few
large manufacturing concerns inter
ested in welfare work. Its employees
have the advantage Of free instruc-

MISS FRENCH GLAD
SHE WE'D "REAL MAN.
Young Lady Having Excessively
Rich Parents Demonstrates
That She Has Sense.

Mrs. Julia French Geragherty
who set "sawciety" all agog by
marrying man rather than min.
compoop, is out in an Interview de-
tending her conduct and incidently
showing up the class to which she
was supposed to belong. Mrs
Geragherty is the type of woman OF
whom we may be proud, and who,
| 1t is reasonable to believe, will make
mother worthy of American man
hood. In speaking Of her recent
marriage to Jack Geragherty, the
chauffeur, she says:
Gin the first place, I have always
hated society, and because of this,
disagreements were always spring
ing up between myself and my fam
lily. They wanted me to go in for
the life that all the young women
of my class liked, but I rebelled.
"The people in society are too
vapid, the men especially, and it
was a rarity when met real man
among them. They all seemed in
sane and had interest in trivial
things, except at those times when
all their energies were bent on
money-making, and this bored me.
I hadn't been out long before !
realized that this life would never
do for me.
"The women seemed SO heartless
to me, so self-centered, living only
for pleasure and the excitement of
having prettier frocks than their
neighbors and richer husbands and
more jewels and larger entertain
ments. So when tell you that my
meeting with Mr.. Geragherty made
me all the firmer in my determin-
alton not to be either in or of this
society you can understand why we
ran away and were married.
"Our first meeting? 1t was three
years ago. Mr.. Geragherty was sent
around to demonstrate a new car
that my father had told me I might
buy, and Immediately l was attract
ed to him. He was so intensely diff
ferent from the men ! had been
presented to. He was SO honest, so
manly, so strong and he carried
himself like a fine, manly man.
"But it wasn't entirely his good
looks that attracted me at that first
meeting. Oh, no; it was something
more subtle-something that SEEM

The Senseless Card of Thanks.
Britt Tribune: OF all the abso-
lutely senseless things that were ev-
er printed in a newspaper, the card
of thanks is the most foolish. OF
course everyone is thankful for help
in time of trouble, but the printing
of it in public paper should never
be done. The whole thing is in very
bad taste. Thanks for the flowers
and for the singing might with
C4ud1 81 dCc SAlSuu W Ju0 S0ALOu,
the undertaken and the driver of
the hearse. The man who made the
casket, the man who engraved the
nameplate and the man who made
the plumes for the horses heads
could with equal propriety be in
cluded. No one wants thanks for
their kind offices. No one would be
offended if they did not get them.
We have charged for cards of
thanks for years and we are going
to make the price high enough so
that no one will want one in this
paper. Not because we care for the
space it occupies, not because we
are unsympathetic, but because we
want to discountenance this sense

HAS A LETTER II
i; FROM Lincoln
(ey Associated Press.)

Washington, April 3-Forty-sever
years ago-April 18th, l864-Abraham
Lincoln paused in. the care OF the civil
war for one of those kind and homely
acts which have lived after him. 1t
was to pen personal letter to the
postmaster general, asking that Of
fetal to employ Miss Susan Digger,
a young belle of Gainesville, Ill.,, who
was the sole support of her brother, a
union sholdier crippled at Shiloh. Miss
Digger got a position and preserved
the letter religiously.
Secretary MacVeagf, after reading
the same letter today, though the paper
has yellowed with age and the ink is
dim, ordered that Miss Dugger's name
be not dropped from the treasury's list
of employees, though she had been i'll
more than year. When an employee
has been absent without pay that length
OF time, it is customary to strike the
name from the rolls.
Senator Cullom brought the letter to
Secretary MacVeagh who promised that
Miss Digger may have her old position
if she is ever able to work again. She
is now 20 years old. Miss Digger was
transferred from the postofice to the
treasury soon after President Lincoln's
letter got her employment and became
an expert in detecting counterfeit mon
