Exchanges Rent for Board.

Exchanges Rent for Board.
I'm not looking for any widows"
said Sell, mot me. If 1 was, 1 wouldn't
be here. But, this is my house. I saw
the woman was having a hard time
paying the rent and 1 decided to help
her out, just as [ might help anyone
else. She gives me my board and
room and each month [ write her
receipt for the rent. It's just a straight
business deal and that's all there is
to it,
By this time, a daughter volunteer
ed the information that Spencer
threatened the alienation suit several
times after the divorce was granted.
He used the prospective suit as a club,
the young woman said, to compel the
children to force their mother to re-
turn to him. When she didn't come,
the suit was filed.
MIR. Sell has been kind to u.s. said
the woman in the alienation suit. HE
has helped us with the rent, and when
moved here and owed some money,
he loaned me enough to pay it back.
A loan agent named w. e. Seguine
loaned me $50 to move my furniture
from Morris street here and pay the
first months rent. He charged me 10
per cent a month. Mr. Sell helped
When mother died, I didn't have
money to go to the funeral. So Mr..
Sell loaned me the money. We have
had an awful time, but we've been
ashamed off,
Then MRS. spencer told of the time
when one of the daughters left home
and when her son was taken to the
industrial school.
Spencer says Mr.. Sell did it, said
the woman, 'but he didn't. The girl
is not here because she is taking mu-
sic lessons, works all day and can not
practice at night without disturbing
the roomers. She left of her own ac-
cord. AS for the boy, he was incorri-
gible, had never received his fathers
attention as he should and it was the
only thing l could do
Sell Isn't Scared.
Tears were trickling down Mrs. Spen-
GERS face as she told these incidents.
1t was the story of her own suffer-
ing and efforts to keep the home to-
gether. 1t was the first time she had
told her troubles to the public.
Even Sells voice choked a bit as he
hit the soft spots in the family life
on the East side. But Sell is a stickler
for his friends. He owns the IA room
house at 215 North Lake street where
the woman lives and keeps boarderS
and roomers. Sell knows she is having
a hard time and there was no uncer-
tainty about his intention to stay right
on the job and see her through the
fight. AS for sOulmates, affinities and
caperings of Dan Cupid, Sell VOWS that
he knows nothing of such things. He
is wealthy. He is big hearted, JoV1al
and showed not the least concern BE-
cause of the sensational action in which
he is made defendant.
"And say remarked Sell, as the
visitor started down the steps, Just
make it plain that I amt the least
bit scared. They have got to show
me-"
This morning Sell visited the office
of Schenck & Atchison, who will rep
resent him in the case. NO statemeI
has been made as to when an answer
will be filed.

Further covering today of shorts on
the stock exchange was induced by I'm
confirmed cables from London announcing
an adjournment of the coal conference

TINS was accepted as pointing to a COM
promise in that situation. A rise in Gen
eral Electric and Sears-Roebuck was at

dividends for those stocks Material
gains were restricted to the less active
or more obscure issues, none of the mar

Business expanded into various proper

two score of stocks regard advances of

responsible in part for this showing, but
there was unquestionably better feeling
produced by the recent Indifference II the

come to board at the home. She denied
her former husbands charges of love

Here Sell got an inning. He squared

NO SUNDAY MAIL

Marshall Postoflice All Ready
Closed and Order Expect
ed Here Soon
WANT fMPLoYES TO HAVE RESI-
All First and Second Glass Of
fees to be Closed Says
Rule
WANT EhlPLOYES 10 HAVE REST

Enjoy the privilege Of getting
your mail on Sunday as much as poss-
ible now. In the near future you i
hang around the post Office corner
and there won't be anything doing.
AIT least that is the present state
Of affairs at Marshall. The post
master over there has been notified
to stop handing out mail on Sunday
and give the office employees q full
days rest.
King Has No Orders
Postmaster A. E King has received
no orders as yet but he says he und-
erstands indirectly that such a ruling
has been made and he will not be
surprised when the order drops IN.
Perhaps he won't be disappointed.
Want Rest For Employees
Some time ago movement was
started to secure a rest for the post
office employees and letter carriers,
In the first and second class offices
in the past the mail has been distri-
buted and patrons we're privileged
TO get their mail during the day.
The letter carriers we're obliged to
go to the office and sort the mail and
stand at the window and hand it out.
Only Little While
No more of this says the attorney
general. 1t therefore seems quite
certain that it is only a matter of a
little time until the order goes into
effect in Redwood Falls.
On the whole the move may be mi
the right direction though it will be-
felt as hardship by good many |
people for a while after being adopt
ed.
However, there is no appeal and
sublime fortitude on the part Of the
public is the virtue recommended.

The rhythmic jumping Of $50 blue
jackets saved 81. N. S. Commonwealth
from the fate Of the Montagu when
she ran aground in a dangerous place.
The battleship Montagu was abandon.
ed as hopeless wreck off the Cornish
coast. but her sister ship. the Common
wealth, was safely got off by the mus
cular exertion Of her crew. The Com
monwealth ran on to an uncharted rock
when returning from target practice
and was badly damaged. She was so
nicely balanced in her lodgment, how
ever. that it was decided after revers-
ing the engines had failed to extricate
her to try the experiment Of mastering
all the available hands on the extreme
aft and setting them to jump in uni
son. The regular jumping Of twenty
five tons IT solidly built seamen had
had the effect Of making the huge yes
sci rock seesaw fashion until she grad
ually foated off with the rising tide.
In fifteen minutes she was afoat and
saved.-Pearson's Weekly.
