nv a mutual agreement the evidence

Mrs Rosa Williamson, charged with
assault and battery by Mrs. Anna H.
Harmon, applied to the otner three
cases as the alleged Assaults were

the other puglistic details entansieo
in the fight The details OF evidence
served to confuse rather than make
clear the issues.
So when the attorney for the plain
tiff Mrs Harmon, neglected 10 prlhs
out that the alleged assault nad peen
committed in Marshall county, MIS-
Nathanson's lawyer took eager adVan-
tape of it. His motion to dismiss all
tho cases because Of this technical de-
feet was sustained by the mayor. in
snite of the plaintiffs evidence to re-
open the case to supply the missing
link. Any way enough neighborly trou-
bles had been poured into the mayor
ear to supply the two years admins
tration. SO not only Mrs. Nathanson
but J. e. Harmon and Mrs. Anna H.
Harmon were discharged and the cases
dismissed.
The speckled hen continues broodv
in the Harmon hen house, whence she
was carried by force 'just before the
battle, mother" The evidence tended
to show that the hen was Harmon's,
she having wandered while in vag-
rant mood to the Williamson roost.
where she was kept by force OF lock
and key, according to the testimony.
After all the alleged ownership Of the
hen was due to similarity In broody
hens. The Nathansons had hen, and
the hen disappeared and the Harmon
hen was mistaken for it and kept in
privacy by the Nathanson's. The net
result insofar as the hen is concerned.
Is that Harmon has his hen. but the
Nathansons who had a hen, are short
one, but where she is no one knows as
far as the evidence showed.

Yet still she loved her Bad hoy best.

In some households this fact Is not

wishes to be left to himself. The
parents try to arrange so that each
boy and girl shall have his or her
own little corner for studying and
for resting. But who takes the

nearly every household you will find
that she Is interrupted again and
again when such interruption is alb
golutely unessential. Even when she
arises earlier in the morning than do
the other mem bers of the family in

the ancient and eternal ties by day
set apart fer the mothers Once they,
too. tasted of youth, and found the
moonlight haunting. and the face of
adventure a sweet torment. But they
turned from ways of ease. and ac-
cepted pain and rigor, that so they
might serve the ongoing of the race.
Lav,shly they spent their early bloom
upon the rude and lowiy task. Their
gentle hidden fragrances were breath
ed out on little wailing lives. To us,
who else had gone weak and unbe
friended. they were as a dixie against
the beating of an alien sea.
In mellow and kindly ATTITUDES. or
set in the windswept iron background
OF Northern hills. always they reveal
ed love glowing at the heart of life.
For them the early rebellions have
long been blended into concord. Their
spirit has found the serenity OF the
un3isturbed haven. Ever the storms
die away and solemnly the stars re-
turn.
