CHAPTER III.

4 Jest is a Jest, but the following
letter, received by His Honor, the
Mayor" next morning, suggested a
straw too much for the Asiatic rumi-
nants back. Tersely, it said:
Squirrel Inn.
Sunday Morning.
"Mr. Walter Bedight,
Mayor of Ossian:
Dear Sir: The levity of your de-
meanor at yesterdays trial and the
ostensibly nonchalant attitude you
chose to take of the sentence inflict-
ed. leads me to believe that you are
considering this very serious matter
altogether too lightly. Under ordinary
circumstances a handsome trifler
might ride into woman's camp like
Lochinvar, boldly grasp pretty girl
in his arms and kiss her, without pay
ing a more severe penalty than the
scorn OF the camp and a few surface
scratches. And even you, evidently a
gentleman as well as politician,
might have escaped with a fitting re-
buke had you been luckier. Unen-
numbered by baggage and feeling un-
could have drifted away into the eve
ming shadows and laughed at our ef-
forts to restrain you.
But, Mr.. Bedight. as a candidate
for representative at the coming cleo
ton, for which you are evidently re-
coupling your vital forces in this tran
gull spot you will scarcely desert
while we have in our possession a
document so incriminating as that
found by us yesterday in your wake
through the dogwood swamp.
THE document itself is evidence
enough, If given publicity. to lose you
the votes of almost every woman in
the district Such treachery as you
have in mind-the drafting of bill
against woman's suffrage-will not be
countenanced by the fair voters of
this land, once the facts are in their
possession!
'T trust you realize the enormity Of
your crime and the hold we have on
you. Should you be unwise enough
to violate the sentence of this court,
the news of your duplicity will be
sent to the women's clubs Of your dis
trict, to be followed by unimpeach-
able evidence in your own handwrtt-
ing-the bill itself. am satisfied that
your better judgment will prevail and
that you will serve your sentence as
becomes gentleman and candidate.
This being Sunday, you will be al
lowed your liberty to go and come as
you please and fortify your mind
against the ordeal you are about to
experience. On Monday morning you
will inaugurate your sentence by be-
ginning with Mae Andrews. whose

OLIVE Tablets
oil the Bowels
A Physicians Substitute for
Dangerous CalOmel

When you feel that your liver and
bowels need help take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets, Substitute for calomel.
Calomel is effective, but dangerous
causing bad after-effects.
Olive Tablets are especially made
to take the place of Calomel. DR..
Edwards for years has been Calomels
foe. He saw it's dangers and its
disadvantages in seventeen years
practice, treating patients for all
kinds of liver and bowel complaints.
In his efforts to do without Calomel
he developed his now famous little
olive-oil-colored tablets. Olive Tab
let's are mild but effective. Safe and
sure. Pleasant to take but unfailing
in results.
Olive Tablets oil the bowels just
enough to start Natures own action,
and they tone up the liver at the same
time. They are made from a rare
combination of vegetable compounds
mixed with olive oil.
If you want to regain that feeling
of joyous buoyancy and clear thought
take DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets. They
work like vacation. 10 and Is
cents per box.
Every little Olive Tablet has a
movement all it's own"

He STOLE A RIDE
School Boy Taken to Police
Station by Conductor.

promise never to do it again and will
even go to church Sunday if you will
let me go this time" was the appeal
of fifteen-year-old Harmon Waterman,
of 221 North Second street to Police
Sergeant Mentally after he had been
caught stealing a ride on a West
Richmond street car.
Considerable trouble has been caus-
ed conductors and motormen on the
West Richmond and Fairview street
cars by school boys stealing rides AS
there is only one conductor for two
cars, after they leave the Doran
bridge going west, the boys can easily
steal a ride. The street car company
asked that this be stopped.
Young Waterman said he was in
company with boy called slim" and
another boy when caught by conductor
Jesse Stevens vino brought him to the
police headquarters. He was dismiss
ed by the police and told to furnish
the names of the boys who had been
committing this offense regularly and
report to the police headquarters Sat
urday morning.

of educative value and that it was
privileged to view them.
They were repeated again during
the afternoon and evening to large au-
diences, the evening drawing out ca
pacity houses, the interest being add
ed to in the afternoon by the short
explanatory talk given twice by Mrs.
James M. Judson, Regent of the Rich

two hundred and fifty thousand peo-
pie, the exhibit being prepared at a

will be shown two or three times after
that hour.

Trim Your Winter Hat.

Hat trimming nowadays is such a
simple matter that almost any girl
who can sew at all will be able to trim
her own hats for the winter season.
Just now it is the fashion to wear
hats almost devoid of any trimming
whatever, but a cluster of flowers or a
wing placed in a jaunty manner at one
side or in the center of the front will
be all that is necessary as trimming
for one of the new felt or velours hats.
Hats having turned up brims are ex-
ceedingly fashionable and very often
are trimmed with two small wings,
one sewed on the under brim and one
on the upper directly over it. SO that it
appears that the wings are simply fold
ed over the edge of the brim.
When sewing feathers or wings on
felt hat catch the threads through
from the inside of the brim, then
take small stitch in the feat back
to the inside again. Always use single
thread that has been waXed. The
stitches can be concealed under the
fronds of the feather or single feather
if it be wing.

DOMESTIC INFELICITY.
One Unhappy Cause Of the Marital
Estate Explained.

One Unhappy Cause Of the Marital
Estate Explained.
It is undoubtedly fact that most
married people say things to each 9th
er that they would not dare say to the
cook, who would give notice and leave,
and they would not dream of saying to
a casual acquaintance.
Marriage is life with the polish rub
bed off in a good many cases. 1t is
the one relation in the world in which
most men and women feel that they
can dispense with all the amenities Of
civilization and in which they have
the courage of their rudeness.
Most human beings have no idea Of
how they look to others until they
hear the litany of their shortcomings
chanted with relentless candor by their
husbands or wives.
Other people laugh long and Justify
at your pet story. Your wife or your
husband feels that it is good for you to
know that they have heard it at least
fifty times and that your power as a
conversationalist doesn't amount to
much.
Other people praise your vivacity.
Your husband feels free to tell you not
to make fool of yourself by acting
like a schoolgirl when you are closing
on to forty; that dignity and sweetness
and silence are what you should cult
vate; that you talk too much, anyhow.
and it is getting to be bore. He
thinks these things are good for you to
know.
Too often husbands and wives use
each other to fash out on each other
all the Ill temper and irritability in
their systems-irritability and i'll tenn
per that they dare not show to their
customers or their servants.
1t is usually husbands and wives
that tell each other things that the
other is not particularly anxious to
know-that they are trying to blind
themselves to.
And there are people who speculate
about the cause of the many cases of
domestic infelicity.

MEDICAL STUDENTS

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 4.-The entire
medical department of the Marquette
university, 300 students in all, after a
mass meeting this morning decided to

of the institution to ge a proper rat

Library and Reading Room.

The ladies of the Book and Thin
BILE club have voted to maintain a
reading room in connection with the
library. Sometime in February the
libraryHwill be moved into rooms in
Beede' ssblock over the barberd shop.
The..front roomswill be fitted up for a
reading room and supplied with maya
zines and papers. About fifty new
books have recently been put into cir
culation, a small number, but the sup
oily of money is very limited. Books
for the boys and girls are much need
ed, also standard and reference
works, the demand for fiction never
grows less. The old Barton Landing
library in it's beginning was composed
largely of books given by few lib
eral citizens. Many of our people
feel disposed to follow their good ex-
ample by contributing new books or
used books in good condition, such adj
ditions would be most thankfully re-
ceived and would be benefit to the
whole community.
