"she thinks he's the only man on

on"
"She says he hasn't fault"
"He says she's perfection"
They said this and more Of Mr..
Frank Glynn and his bride as late
as six months after marriage and
most OF 1t was true. 1t had been a
marriage for love, and not flaw had

couldn't sea why they should not sail
on in this happy loving way till the
coming Of tho silver threads among

The bride-wife was her own house
keeper. That was not only quite q
saving out OF salary none too
liberal, but there was no one about
to witness the billing and cooling
going on. The grin on the face Of q
kitchen maid has been known to act
like douche Of ice water. and to

the advisability of Draining her with

Rain or shine, cold or hot. the little
wife had always been waiting at the
gate to give her husband hug and q
kiss, and later on, as she broiied the
chops and he spread the table. to give
him the gossip of the day. This
ome-coming was different--this one

the store that morning and taken his
seat in his bookkeeper's cage. when
his right heel began to poster him.
There was q wrinkle In his sock, and
its saving away at his epidermis irri'
tated and annoyed and hurt. Mr..
Glynn knew just what 1t was, but
man like, he put of removing his
shoe and sock and the wrinkle. A
woman would have yanked that
wrinkle into the middle of next week

No little wife to meet him at the
gate. No wife to meet him at the
door. No wife in hiding to jump out
and give him start Of surprise.
What does this mean?"

WHY SHOULD REPUBLICANS
HEslTATE7
WHY

Cedar Rapids Republican,: We see
It repeatedly stated In newspapers
that are supposed to be still sane, or
at least edited by men who are In
possession Of ordinary intelligence.
that certain congressman and other
candidates have been put to their
Wits ends to find out what they ought
to do.
We think that this is the silliest
proposition that has been put forward
this year, and that is saying great
deal, for this has been a peculiar year
in politics.
We are told by these same papers
that some republican candidates Tor
congress are hesitating about what to
do.
Hesitating ?what are they hesttat-
ing about? Are they hesitating about
whether they are republicans or not?
For the life of US we cannot see what
Is worrying them
A man who has been nominated as
a republican, who has accepted his
commission from the republican par

a moment. He should be able to say

Preaching Discomfort

Davenport Times: There are two
methods of preaching discomfort The
one is that of the muckraker and the
yellow journalist, and the other Is that
of the man who seeks to improve con-
ditions. While some parts Of the work
must be alive, the objects are entire
ly different. The muckraker seeks
merely to be sensational, to stir the
emotions, to cause talk and arouse
prejudices What happens after that is
none of his affair. He has no further
purpose The reformer, on the other
hand, must first point out what 10
wrong with things, but having done
that he must also point out way to
make improvement. 1t Is IN falling
to perform this last and most import
ant duty to society that many OF the
yellow Journals posing to be reform
ing agencies, fail. They cry out against
the things that are not right, but they
fail to suggest any change that is
practical that will lead to improve
ments.

kind Of tariff bill that reduced the
schedules. He might have helped his

which is the only reasonable one.

"Cam looks good to me-"
"There they CO."
"Thirty eight - whow - to thirty

ooh We old wash-woman."
Such were the deprecations handed
the members of the Literary Society
of Salem Church who took part in a
clothes-pin contest at the home Of
Miss Stelle Zippler, last Thursday,
where they were entertained in every
variety of amusement from Literary
gems to "Ring-around- Rosy" on the
lawn.
The clothespin contest, however,
was the big noise of the evening and
furnished more amusement than any
game the Club ever chit on" before.
About twenty contestants started,
with Mr.. Robert L. Race as timekeep-
er and Thomas Wootton as starter,
ten of them boys and ten girls. A
clothesline was stretched across the
parlor, and a handkerchief placed in
the center of the line. The partici-
pants were then paired off, fellows
versus fellows and girls versus girls.
In turn the pairs then took their
stands at either end of the rope, each
with a straw hat full of clothespins in
his or her hand. "Time" was then
called and both persons would start
to hang clothespins as fast as possible
4 and would be nearly excited by their
haste and anxiety by the time the
minute was up. The one with the
highest number was then entered for
the next round and would wait while
the other pairs contested. In the sec
ond round winners played winners and
so on down until the contest centered
down between one fellow and one girl,
they having made the highest score in
their respective sexes. Both started
out the second time was called, and
there was hardly any difference what
ever in the speed kept up, but Miss
Stebbins, the girl contestant, was pro-
claimed winner by score of 38 to 81,
the two highest of the evening.
There were numerous amusing Incl
dents all through the race. In one
part Mr.. Charles Buckley conceived
the idea of speed increase by placing
the hat in his mouth and using both
hands. Everyone "took" to that idea
and some would have used their feet
if it was possible to have done So
Both contestants working on the one
rope made it sway up and down and
made it difficult to hang the pins
sometimes resulting in several falling
much to the dismay Of the hanger
One of the girls nearly bit hole out
of Stanley Zippler's straw hat in hel
earnestness, while hanging the pins
Earl Sanders, at one stage of the con-
test, was so overwhelmed with his op-
ponent's speed at placing the pins uI
that he dropped his hat and used his
time in trying to shake the other pins
off. Everyone seemed exhausted from

the reaching and excitement, but still
had enough energy to heartily applaud
the successful girl, who, by the way
received as her prize a cigar. The
reason for that kind Of prize was that
the Judges were confident Of male
winner, as the fellows scores were
much higher than the girls at the
start, notwithstanding the girls expe-
rience in that line.
The balance Of the evening was en-
joyed in other games, and after they
had made eight or ten quarts of ice
cream look like five cent plate, the
members departed at late hour, all
having had most enjoyable evening

PRINTERS HUMBLE PATTERSON

The Typographical Union team
trounced the Patterson team on the
latter's grounds in free-hitting con-
test. The Printers got off to good
lead by taking advantage of their op-
ponents misplays and piling up a half
dozen runs in two innings, were over
taken by the home team in the fourth,
but regained the lead and put the
game on ice in the eighth.
Warrington started for Patterson
and pitched the first five innings, mag
unanimously going out Of the game
when his team was leading, SO as to
give his brother twirler chance.
Haisch started for the Printers, but
allowed four hits after two were out
in the third, and Croft appeared in the
centre of the diamond in the fourth
canto in his stead. A pair of errors,
sandwiched in between trio of hits
and free pass, yielding five runs was
too much, and Charley Macdonald was
sent to the rescue. Mac rescued O.
K, retiring the side in order, and re-
peating it in the fifth via the strikeout
route. Mac figured largely in the do
ings after that, his homer in the sixth
bringing the team within striking dis
tance of their opponents.
The eighth was rout. Wagers

aid was purposely passed. Tom Viii

hurt so badly that he Immediately
stole second! Wagers ielded Fagan's
tap to Knowles in plenty of time to
get the runner, but Harry dropped the
ball; Moorhead drew his third pass
filling the bases. Haish failed to ad-
vance his teammates, but Gottersfeld
was there with safety that sent two

Boys Need Better Support.

Before one Of the poorest crowds of
the season, Pleasantville defeated
their rivals, Brandywine, last Satur-
day by the score of 5-3. The game
was a good one, and was well appreci-
ated by the few people who were out.
1t was a fine day, too; not too hot and
not too sunny, yet somehow there was
a decided drop in the thermometer of
fandom. This kind of support cannot
last long, because it costs a great deal
to get a good team here, especially
from Philadelphia. Manager Wool
bert has two things to do. The first
is to play at home and more than
clear expenses; the second is to play
elsewhere and reap the reward above
travelling expenses, which would in all
instances be above the excess taken
in at home. 1t is up to the people Of
this town TO keep them here. If they
don't, one thing is sure, the boys must
play elsewhere.
