reading an article in a newspaper the
other day about a woman who could
not live on s24o a month. why, I
have that woman skinned a mile said
the sergeant. 81 only make $3.50 a
month, and it supports my wife and
ten children, twelve chickens and two
dogs, and believe me. If you saw any
of my flock, you would say that none
of them looked as though they were
being half fed at that, but that woman
has my sympathy
Frederick Weimer, chief of the county
detectives, is usually one of the most
obliging persons in the world. and will
go any length to supply Information
sought by lawyers or other persons
having business TO do with the prose-
cutor's office. But a certain lawyer got
his goat yesterday when, after Wei
mer in response TO a telephone mes
sage. had spent fully half an hour

said he. you can't persuade the aver
