ROMANCE OF A MILKMAN
i. By Bertha E. Bush.
Miss Colchester was fearfully
timid about snakes. She need not
have been, for she was SO very
large that the mere weight OF her
foot would have been enough to
crush any snake that had ever
lifted its head in the village. But
Miss Colchester never considered
that. At the very mention of
snake she would turn white. At
the least glimpse of one she would
scream and run as if she had been
the frailest feather-weight of
slip of a girl. And this although
her age was so and her weight
we'll, she had refused to be weigh
ed since one luckless day when
the scales registered 10 pounds;
but when it was considered that
this was years ago and she had
been steadily gaining flesh since,
it will be understood that Miss
Colchester was stable.
The milkmaf1 was not fond of
Miss Colchester. Miss Colchester
was continually finding fault with
him. This might have been
borne; but when she basely as
sured her friend, the mistress of
Elsa, the prettiest kitchen maid
in the village, that his milk sour
ed before it ought because the
bottles were not washed clean
a base slander-he felt that it was
unbearable. For Elsa's mistress
promptly dismissed him and en-
gagged his rival rival who

A THIRD TERM
FOR ROOSEVELT
Franklin Literary OF High
School So Decide.

~Impressing the fact that Theodore
Roosevelt was practically the only
president who kept corruption out of
government Offices during his reign,
William EiIlts and Miss Theresa
Kreielsheimer proved sonelusively to
the Franklin Literary Society that q
third term by Roosevelt would be
beneficial TO the country. The Misses
Dorothy Joline and Irene Bruck up
held the negative. The winning de-
baters also showed that during the
colonsls entire term of office there
were nc such squabbles which were
SO detrimental, as the Ballinger
troubles, which marked the early
part OF President Taft's four year
term.
Wanted by the People.
After George Washington's service
as president OF this country for eight
years Terminated, the father of the
country said that he believed nc one
should serve as the head of this
great country for more than two
terms unless the people wanted him.
The team upho1ding the Affirmative
stated that Roosevelt was wanted by
the people and shenfd therefore not
consider the customary two terms as
suffcient. Howard Lyon and the
Misses Gladys Buchanan and Marie
Brown were the Judges.
Prof. Edgar H. Kleinhans amused
the members with a long reading.
Chairman Harvey Mann presided.
Lincolns Present Sketch.
Presenting a sketch as the feature
event OF their regular entertainment,
