Fat Woman Ventilates Her Disgust
at a Neighbor Who Said Her
Son Smoked.


Two women sat askew, V-shaped,
on ferry boat bound west the other
evening, half facing each other Both
were dressed fit to kill, one of them
wearing a peach-basket hat which suf-
fered from enlargement of the size
The owner was also afflicted the same
way, being ultra stout From be
meath the perimeter of the bonnet the
fat lady with a face as serious as a
suntiOwer, was letting out words so
fast that the sound suggested pouring
beans from bag on a board floor.
As she would talk she looked around
at the other passengers, and catching
no ones gaze, she again volleyed and
Numbered.
A reporter of The Palisadian" Just
opposite the female twain looked, list
ened and wondered. file had never
before heard such a rapid-hre vocal
engagement, and he has been married
some years at that
From the drift it was a monologue,
for only the fat lady talked, the other
one answering with arched eyebrows
now and then, opening wide her eyes,
or dropping her chin occasionally and
opening her mouth. These expressive
facial gestures all indicated profound
interest, but no matter how much she
might have wanted to say YES
'no''-'yes" ST know'-or anything
of that kind, she just couldn't do it
and for this reason:
OF course you heard about Freddie
Jameson he's started to smoking and
his mother came over to my house to
ask me what | did when my Henry
began to smoke and | told her it
wasn't any such thing that Henry
never had smoked but she said she
knew better that Freddie had told her
he knew Henry did smoke because he
took Freddie behind the barn and
showed him how and THAI night when
Henry came home | asked him all
about smoking with Freddie and he
said law ma | amt never smoked in
my life | declare to goodness | amt
and | cross my heart that amt no
lie yes Henry told me that with his
arm around my neck and then he
said he knew Freddie smoked because
there was some cigarettes charged on
his pas bill at the store and when
his pa saw them he went to the man
and asked who bought them cigarettes
and the man said Freddie did and
Freddie's pa said it amt so and had
EN- taken off but Freddie bought them
cigarettes cause Henry says he was
with him at the time and Mrs. jamie
son tried to tell me Henry helped to
smoke 'em but | told her | knew
better because Henry never told me
lie in my life and Mrs. Jameson said
that may be so about not telling me
any lies in my life but he'd told many
a one in his'n and | up and told her
to her face she was a brazen huzzy
that's what she was and she knows
it and so do all the neighbors I amt
ever see any woman like her for talk
ing in my life"

BUILDING AND LOAN.
From Propaganda Committee State
and Metropolitan League Savings
and Loan Associations.

throughout the United States are
growing to an extent which can truly
be called marvellous. The remark
able feature of this growth is that it
is persistent, goes along quietly, with
out any blare of trumpets, and has at
tracted little attention among men and
women who are prominent in other
good citizenship movements.
A few statistics will be interesting.
The figures are taken from reports OF
officers of the New York State and
Metropolitan Leagues of Savings and
Loan Associations, bodies that pro-
tect the interests OF local associations.
Total membership in the United
States is 100000, and assets are ST.
100000; the membership in this State
IS estimated at $4,000, with $4S, 100000
assets; and New Jersey has 100000
members and $80,000,00O assets. The
disparity between New Y ork and New
Jersey is due to the fact that the real
cooperative associations in New York
were handicapped by concerns which
traded under their names and after
wards failed; the general public did
tons in the same class. A new law
prevents this grinding of axes for sell
fish purposes, hence the forward
movement in local cooperative asso-
Citations of the State
Men and women interested in eco
monte movements should awake to the
face that savings and loan institutions
are doing more than any other agency
to promote home ownership among
men and women with small means
that these societies operate the only
plan yet devised which rests on a
sound financial basis for all CON
cerned, and whereby the man with a
few hundred dollars can begin to own
his home on a rock-bottOm basis
There are evidences of the good
work of these institutions on every
hand. In the boroughs of New York
City Except Manhattan, and in sub
urban towns, there are thousands of
persons who have bought and paid
for their homes through the savings
and loan plan. If they had not been
shown the way, practically all the
homecoming money would have gone
for rent and nothing to show for it.
This statement is also true of other
cities, towns, and villages in the State;
Utica, Elmira, Schenectady, and
Poughkeepsie stand out conspicuously.
Savings and loan associations in this
State and elsewhere lend money to
their members on first mortgages, for
homes; no association buys or builds
houses. The plan calls for payments
of principal and interest, on the basis
of FIVE dollars dues and FIVE dollars
interest for each $1,000, payable
monthly, and the mortgage is paid off
inside OF twelve years. Several asso-
Citations in the city of New York and
elsewhere also have other plans, based
on smaller monthly payments. In no
case, howeevr, are there fees to pay
for mortgage renewals, even if the
mortgage runs twenty-five years.
The money which these associations
have for lending purposes comes from
the saving members. Many save
twenty-five cents a week, and the
average is FIVE dollars month.
Through economical management Of
these associations, members receive at
least fOttr and Cua-hoIf Nor cant d;,r;

OFFERS TO HANG FOR WOMAN.
Ohio Physician Willing to Sacrifice Life
For Slayer.

Cleveland, O., June 24.-Dr Alex
ander Aalto Of Ashtabula, O.. is willing
to be hanged in place of Mrs. Angelina
Napolitano Of Sault Ste. Marie. Can
ada, condemned to die on the sallows
on Aug. 9, one month after the expect
ed birth of her fifth child. She was
convicted Of killing her husband. who
tried to force her into white slavery.
DR.. Aalto Is a middle aged bachelor,
with mother and sister in Findlay. O.
FIe has a large office practice among
Finish and Swedish citizens. many
coming from Detroit, Youngstown.
Pittsburg, and Cleveland to be treated
by him.
1T would only be fair to Mrs. Napol-
itano for a man to give his life for her.
inasmuch as her life is in peril on ac-
count Of mans persecution of her and
because men condemned her" says DR..
Aalto. Il know my old mother would
consider that I was honoring her moth
erhood in dying for nirs. Napolitano,'
The fate Of Mrs. Napolitano will be
the subject for discussion in congress
before that body adjourns.
Congressman j. G. McHenry. of
Pennsylvania, has announced that he
will bring the Napolitano matter up.
He has wired Mayor Whitlock. OF To-
ledo, that he desires to use the may
cr's article on the proposed hanging
in preparing his speech Mayor Whit
lock has replied as follows:
Il am glad you are going to present
the matter to congress, and I hope
your action will be effective in pre-
venting another judicial murder. The
exacton Of the old blood revenge OF
capital punishment is infinitely more
degrading to society than to the indi-
vidual who suffers it. for the effect on
society persists.
"Crime is individual. while punish
ment is a social act, and the barbar
ism Of this old punishment by blood
revenge is so revelting and so debasing
that it makes OF each Of US a partici-
pant in worse crime than the one we
are seeking to requite."
