"NEEDN'T PICK A WIFE FOR

Chicago Joke Comes Altogether Too
Late--Shc's Picked.


"Tbey need not bother to picl

alleged brother BILL" I've gpt one

The story which was evidently
perpetrated by some of his friends
as Joke on the good-natured. pros
porous bachelor farmer Is:
Chicago. March 13.-''If you make
good as housekeeper and you look
good to Jim and Jim looks good to
you, you can get hitched in no time"
That's satisfactory to me. I'll take
a chance on It,"
The dialogue that closed with
those remarks took place between a
man who called himself "Bill' Car
roll and Miss Margaret Torfs Of
Evanston.
"Bill" wasn't speaking for himself.
He was speaking the modernized
lines OF John Alden on behalf of his
brother James. bill" had come to
Chicago to buy supplies. Before his
departure from Abilene, Kan, James
had told him to keep his weather
eye open for a likely looking young
woman.
Don't get anything wealthy or
giddy, for l can't take care of her,
and I'm pretty settled now" were
the instructions. "And as for looks,
we'll, wish you could fix 1t some

guess you'd want her to be a good
cook, and a housekeeper. Suppose
| could get one to come out here
and prove she was first class one
around the house and the farm. Then
you could get a good look at her."
"By golly, you hit 1t, said James.
"BilP' pondered the problem dur
ing the trip to Chicago. Upon his
arrival in the city he sought out
the "Illinois free employment bu-
reau" at S26 North Clark street.
"Bilr' was flustered by the sight
IL a half dozen young women in the !
office, but went directly to the pur-
pose of his call
do you send girls as far as Dick

"Well. that depends. What kind
of work."
"Hum, housekeeper, temporary
Ind perhaps permanent"
Permanent"
"Well, life job If she'll get mar

"Bill' heard a giggle and blushed.
'It amt me; it's Jim" he STAN
nered. "He's different. Everybody
likes jim. Everybody in every town
hip in the county knows who he

Miss Torfs was one OF the young
women waiting in the office. The wo-

Atlantic City, July 2.-Melvin Van

Fred Elmer, George Boultion and

morning by the explosion Of Vani-

bag burst while two thousand feet in

fathoms Of water. One unidentified
body has been recovered.
Melvin Faniman was associated for
several years with Walter Wellman
in his efforts to reach the North Pole

as he had right to want it and run
Tor IT, and was not trying to kick
anybody out Of office. He was ex-
ercising a constitutional right which
any man might exercise.
He stated that the enforcement of
law depends upon the Solicitors Of
flee, the tenure of property, the free
dom from violence, and, he intimated,
that good man was needed in the
office. He said that he had not in
tended to make any charges in this
campaign, but since his opponent had
stated that he was running on his
record he would more fully explain
that record to the audience, as Mr..
Stolls statement was not exactly
clear. He then went on to make an
attack on Mr.. Stoll's record, showing
by figures which he had secured from
the records of the county clerk of
court, that of convictions in cases
which had been fought out in court
against opposing counsel. the Solicitor
had secured only 13 per cent of con-
victiOns in the cases. He reviewe ed
the number Of cases which had been
tried, the number Of bills and indct-
ments. and laid particular stress on
the numerous cases which had been
mol pressed by the Solicitor, intimat-
ing that a number of hard cases had
been dropped. He said that the Soil
citor in his reckoning had included
the cases whore the parties had plead
guilty. He reviewed the Solicitors 5
record from start to finish, intimating
that Mr.. Stoll had not been exactly
correct in his figures. He was APP
plauded at the close of his remarks,
but not as literally as was Mr..
Stoll.
Mr.. Stoll at once made reply to
the criticisms of his record which
had been made by Mr.. Tatum. He
said that he had stated that he
took the record from the Attorney
Generals report and that if any one
would examine those reports they
would find that he had stated the
figures correctly. He also defed any
inc to find anywhere in the reports
IF the Attorney General where any
other Solicitor had greatly superior
record To his own. He said he would
stand 10y what he had said at first,
and wanted the cases stated clearly.
He said in reference to the number
of cases mol pressed that he had by
mol pressing these cases saved the
county hundreds Of dollars by throw
ing out cases which could not have
resulted in conviction. if they had
been tried. lie stood on his record and
not mistated facts. He made heat
ed reply and was given the most APP
plause given at any time during the
day when he closed his remarks.
