Every male true believer in Mo-
hammedan countries Is warned by the
priest against four classes OF women
he should not marry. These women
are the yearner, the deplOrer. the
bacSbiter and the toadstool. 1t Is ex-
piained by the author OF the Life
In a Turkish Harem that the yearner
Is woman who has child by am
other husband and who is eonse-
quently thinking about that child.
The deplorer is a widow who is all
ways dilating upon the good quail
ties of her former husband, to the
intense dlgpleatgure OF her present

who Is sweet and smooth In her hus-
bands presence, but who runs him

lures a loving husband by her con-

ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE WRONG

You never can tell, after once a
fellow gets an upward start, where he

few years ago Mr.. Magill was superb:
tendent Of the Princeton schools at a
salary OF $500 per month. Then he
took II into his head 10 enter the po-
litical arena, and although he was
practically unknown outside OF Bureau
county, he made a whirlwind campaign
over the district and was elected state
senator, defeating Hon. Frank Baker,
who was a candidate for reelection, by
a most decisive majority. Before Mr..
Magill had been in the senate 80 days
he had become one OF the republican
leaders in that body. Next he tried 10
break into the United States senate,
coming out as a candidate against
Shelby NJ. Cullom. and II Sherman had
stayed out Of the race Magill would
have been elected. And now what do
you think he has gone and done? He
has accepted a position as associate ed,

LovEMAKING ON THE FARM.

'" lllldlllouSlus ILL., lASSD
There has just come to light a de-
tail OF the woes that the youthful
SWANS and their sweethearts have in
this community; an illustration as it
were of the truth of the old adage to
the effect that the course Of true love
never did run on ball bearings.
A very large proportion of the love
making of farm communities is
done in the young mans buggy; so
much so that carriage makers should
monogram the side curtains of their
product with figures of Cupid. The
buggy has the park-seat, the summer
resort and the excursion steamer
/ crowded over the course-fence as a
popular haunt of the little winged god
Lately the wicked small-boys, or
maybe it is the more mature and less
fortunate youths, have provided them

/ lights, which, when pressed by thumb
shoot forth very revealing beam Of

Armed with these and concealed

The young folks who populated
Camp Seclusion so joyously last week.
returned home Sunday and Monday
on the installment plan.
A few of them were mighty glad to
get back, most of them had just as
soon come home as not and a small
number would have enthusiastically
remained till the very last of the
moonlight evenings had gone.
All the pilgrims and some of the
pilgrimesses tell itching stories of
multitudinous mosquito bites and the

collars and compilations are unim'
peachable witnesses of the painful
truth.
"Oh, but the singing, biting, blood
sucking beasts were fearful" wal
the folk of the forest, and we JUS
don't understand why they came il
such myriad swarms!"
Charley Wenks, general storekeep
er and a practical jokesmith down a

his explanation of the phenomenon.
! According to Mr.. Wenks. several o
the boys, suspecting that some stra!
mosquito might fly over the islant
through the night, dropped into hi
store asking his advice as to the bes
means of protecting the camp from
the feared intruders.
And Mr.. Wenks slyly admits tina
he cheerfully prescribed bologna sal

And so the campers bought LIBERAL

Washington, D. C.-Senator Steph-

conditions will he permit the senate
to reimburse him for money expend-

is exonerated in an election case of
this kind, to bring in resolution APP
propriating money out of the contin-
gent fund of the senate to pay the ex-
penses of the senator resulting from
the inquiry. Such a resolution was
brought in by Senator Gallinger at
the last Lorimer election, but was
not acted on at the latter's request.

Madison.-The contest in the pres

tory for Senator La Toilette over
President Taft in the republican pri-
maries, and for Gov Wilson over
Speaker Clark in the democratic pri-
maries.
Wisconsin is one of the few states
which decide their presidential pref
erence at a statewide primary. 1t
was the first time it had been tried
in the state and was watched with
much interest. From the reports re-
ceived it seemed that very heavy
vote was cast in both the republican
and democratic primaries.
The fight on the democratic side
was hotter than that on the repub-
lican side. From the latest returns
received the indications are that Will
son will have at least twenty-five out
of the twenty-six delegates. The two
Clark delegates in the second dis
triet are probably elected, though
the Wilson men claim the election
of j. Bodden. The Ninth district is
claimed by both Clark and Wilson.
