new arrival wondered. But when
they were all gathered Mrs. MayhoOd
led the way to the sunny, blooming
garden, where the tall hollyhocks and
roses nodded as bright a welcome as
their mistress had given.
There were ten tables of rough
boards, which Mr.. Mayhood had
knocked together and covered with
oilClOth. Ten new packs of cards
were on the tables and soon they
were all engaged in the merriest and
pleasantest game they had ever
played
When, later on, refreshments were
served out OF doors, too, cut glass
and silver were not wanted to add
zest TO the dainty repast.
The prizes were appreciated for
their oddly and beauty welcome
change after the cumbersome, eXpen-
siye pottery they had long known.
The first was a rustic hanging basket
Of ferns and trailing asparagus and
the winner Of the booty" walked
proudly home with a rustic fashioned

Mrs Mayhood sighed as the
walked away.

said.
Later she found out they did. For
when the yearly prize was voted &c
the one whose entertainment had
been best il went, without a dis
senting vote, to Mrs. Ellen Mayhood

So Dorothy Mayhood s name was

club. voted on, and duly entered as
new member
The turns of entertaining came al

glad her name began with an M. q"
1t would give the new book an op-
portunity TO prove its luck before her
turn came.
She soon became an enthusiastic
member of the card club. She saw
again all the lost things of her girl
hood That they were in other peo-
pies houses mattered not at all. She
became again the ight-Learted girl
whom Elton MayhOod had won.
She tried to make a businea5 ar
rangement out OF it, too. There were
many little happenings, amusing and
pathetic which she treasured up and

that he could use them.

But she shook her curly head. There
was a wise little plan forming in 1t,
in which mortgages did not figure.
Give me what ready money you
have, Elton, and I'll make it do,
somehow. I'm sick of people pre-
tending to be what they are not. I'm
going to have things different"
The entertainment of the card
club by Mrs. Lawson was a slight
damper on Mrs. Mayhood's high
spirits. Everything that money could
buy was in evidence. To be sure,
many things were missing which
money cannot buy-lit lie heritages,
for which one must go back a genera
ton or so-but, all told, it was a
complete success. Almost Mrs. May

Judge Grier's friends tried to get
the bar of Mercer county TO vote
him an endorsement. But they didn't
and the only endorsement of that kind
that he got was given by six republi-
can lawyers who signed the resOlu-
tons as individuals. 1t took two days
of strenuous campaigning to secure
that. All of which proves that JUS
tice Cooke is pretty strong in his home
county.

Judge Grier wound up his campaign
in Rock Island with a reception in the
lobby of the New Harper last night.

presentation, the Warren county dele
cation having place of honor in the

Campaign Notes

No one who has been obliged to
work for a living can read the life
Of George Cooke with all its vicissi-
tudes and trials, without taking inter
est in him. Those who work have a
warm spot for the man who works,
and George Cooke knows what it Is
10 work for living.
During his service on the supreme
court bench Judge Cooke has received
50 900 a year less than any other mem
Der of the court. He has done as much
work as any of the other judges for
a total of $4,000 less in salary. On
the other hand Judge Grier is asking
TO be elected al an expense of at least
$4,000 to the taxpayers of his circuit.
Those who are interested in the in
dustries of the fourth supreme court
district might compare the engraving
in the Autographs which are promi-
nent just now. The Autograph of jus
tice George A. Cooke was done in the
fourth supreme court district Judge
Robert j. Grier had his engraving done
| by a non-union shop on Adams stree =,
| Chicago.
Even the republican supervisors of
the county of Judge Grier's home cir
cult say that he should have resigned
/ his seat on the circuit bench before
/ he started in the race for the SUI
preme court This would have saved
the counties $4,000 or more.
It is understood that B. NJ Clipper
| field, the most active supporter of
Judge Grier, now regrets the great
publicity he gave the opinion Of Jus
/ tice George A. Cooke in the fisher
men" case last year On the law
books this Us known as the case of
| Wilton vs. Van Hessen. Judge Cooke
wrote the opinion and the other mem
/ bers of the supreme court concurred
| in his views, which were in effect that
the state holds navigable and mean
dered water courses in trust for the
public Use Of the people. The opinion
practically doubled the size OF fishing
grounds. ChipperfieId made many
/ friends for Judge Cooke by having cop
les of it printed and widely distributed.
Verify the fact that Justice Cooke in
two years and d half on the supreme
court bench, has established an in
disputable record as one Of the best
judges of the Illinois supreme court
is the answer 10 the argument that
Judge Grier is regarded as one Of the
best circuit judges Of the state after
nine years experience. Neither Judge
Cooke nor Judge Grier should deny the
other the credit that it rightfuIly his,
and Judge Cooke is eyincing no dis
position to push Judge Grier out of
his Job.
