showed 1t deeper into It's place and
bent forward against the wind.
Five minutes later he again paused
suddenly. BY the wayside another
light was shining, and with a quick
glance up and down the road he stood
listening. Nothing came to his ears
but the low growl Of the wind and he
hesitated no longer. Sneaking into
the yard with feet that fell as softly
as the snowfiakes themselves he once
more peered through window. There
was no laden table here but instead
he saw bed upon which lay white
faced boy with woman close beside
him. He put his ear to the pane and
listened. 1t was not long before he
learned that the two were alone

Some weeks ago two of our citizens had dis

each claiming it as his own.
Instead of attempting to settle their opinions
personally. one of them invoked the aid of the law

what he believed to be his rights.

Fortunately, new circumstances arose which
convinced one of them that he was wrong; and,
being honest, he frankly and freely admitted it.
The other man, knowing the one to be as honest
in his convictions as himself. gladly accepted his
acknowledgment of his error.
The result is that the two men are happy in
the knowledge that the other was honest in his
views, nd that the ending was such that they
are still the best of friends.

1t is said that our city officials are considering
the prosecution of liquor dealers who ship liquors
to persons in this city in violation of the liquor
law.
The law provides that any one shipping liquor
from one point to another in this state shall indi
cate plainly the outside of the package its con-
tents and the quantity.
City officials say this provision of the law is
being constantly violated by shippers. and unless
the practice is stopped, they propose to bring some
of the offenders to Iron county for trial.
