Intruder in Girls Room Is Routed

a VAhHINEO ny colo manu- on ler
"A bare ankle, Mildred Bromwell,
eleven years old, turned over in bed
the other morning shortly after three
o'clock and whispered to her sister
Louise, fifteen years old:
There's some one in the room,
Louise, for can feel their hand on
my ankle"
BE quiet" cautioned Louise, in a
low tone. II can smell whisky"
Louise raised herself to a sitting
posture, and by dim light which
came through the window from a
lamp in the alley in the rear of the
house saw the face of a negro look
Ing directly into her eyes. So close
was the dark face that the girl could
smell the odor of alcohol in his breath.
Louise saw the man was sitting in
a chair beside the bed, and
while she gazed at him, fascinated
with fright, he left the chair, got
down on the floor on his hands and
knees and started crawling from the
room. Before he reached the door
Louise aroused the household with
screams, aided by Mildred.
Their father, James e. Brownwell,
was awakened. As he left his bed he
grabbed two revolvers and started to
the aid OF his daughters, who were in
the rear room on the second floor of
their home at 1922 Fifteenth street.

Away back in 1884 John B. Kirchell,
of Kingston, N. Y, made a wager to
never cut his hair or shave his whis-
kers if Blaine was not elected. Of
course he lost, and has paid his wager
faithfully, and his hair is now two
feet long and his whiskers reach to
his waist. What fool things people

THE srAGE-AND SOCIETY.
RECENT issue of the New
York World had an article
which said, in part:

Inc British censor's suppression
Of the latest Reinhardt spectacle be-
cause an Objectionable dance and
scene in it is characterized as IAN
access of modesty" contrasting with
the tolerance of disrobing acts and
other indecency in the music halls.
But if beginning is to be made
in checking the degeneracy of the
stage which has followed the intro
duction of lascivious dancing it may
properly be made at the top. Ger
tainly not within memory has dra-
matte entertainment exhibited such
degeneracy as now affects it in all
forms as a result of the demoraliz-
ing influence of figure dancing and
the RIGHTEOUSNESS which has come in
it's train. Not only in vaudeville and
cabaret shows but in the best thea
tres dances are allowed which would
have Deen summarily suppressed by
the police a generation ago. Dane
ing, indeed, as the term is now I'M
derstood on the stage, has become al
most solely a medium for the pre-
sentation Of sensuality and under
conditions which exhibit a shockingly
low tone Of dramatic morals.
Where is the thing to stop? The
half naked chorus girl has already
arrived on Broadway; when will the
last remaining shred of decency be
sacrificed to an "art" which as now
practiced on the stage macks the
name?
Brave words, those-but is the
CT 0nIu y1Iooo vybop0
in dancing and half naked women
and girls are to be seen?
He who buys the daily paper in
any city, North or South, is greeted
by photographs Of women and girls,
more or less prominent, in such
scantiness and suggestiveness Of
dress, such indecency of posturing
as to make him gasp.
The South once held itself aloof
from all that was vulgar; the South
ern woman chung longer to the old
ideals Of refinement and modesty
which the overcroWded, European
lied North had discarded when
ocean travel became popular.
The West, crude as it was, had
also a race of women who stood for
all that was womanly---in the broad
sense of the word.
There is no line of demarcation
now; the rich society women of
the North, South, Sast and West
seem to vie with each other in eX-
travagance, immodesty and, in their
dancing, vulgarity
In large Southern city there was
recently a charitable entertainment
in which the very best of the South's
youth took part.
There were some "fash-light" pic
lures taken, and published in at least
one Of the daily papers.
Those pictures will cause the
many a moment of agony-the pos
turing was so downright indecent
and suggestive The scantiness of
the clothing was not one whit more
modest than the "half naked chorus
girl" who is familiar to all of Broad
way.
The same motives seem to actu-
ate the woman in society, that moves
the actress to draw attention to her
self.
The stunts pulled off in some pri-
vate houses would make chorus
girl gasp, and the fact that those
stunts are given the widest publici-
ty in the public prints, doesn't make
the line of demarcation between So
ciety and the stage very wide one.
1t is true, there is a great deal

With all the wise and learned
wagging of heads and tongues
over the beef shortage of the
country, it seems to us that it
has remained for a hard head
ed Illinois farmer to find a
solution for part of the evil.
He insists that if the price of
beef be reduced and the quality
increased there must be q law
against killing calves for veal.
If the state would prohibit the
wholesale slaughter ef calves,
as it prohibits the killing of
game and fish, for a period of
five years, he declares the beef
problem would be solved for a
while. 1t stands to reason that
we cannot have matured speci-
mems of the animal kingdom in
sufficient quantity if we contin-
ually STAY the young. We can
not eat matured beef at reason
able prices and at the same
time eat veal. Whether q law
would hold for the protection
of calves, as suggested, is a
question but there can be no
question as to the wisdom tf
policy of concerning young beef
stock as a means of improving
the market from the consumers
standpoint. Sloan Star.

adding to the pleasures of the
afternoon. At five o'clock.
delicious refreshments were
served, the Ladies having taken

How would you like to pay
$l8 so for a bushel of corn.
That's the price that was paid
