REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A small family can absorb all a
mans money just as easily as a big
one
The only time a secret engagement
is secret is when one of the two
hasn't heard of it yet.
The most interesting thing to n man
about a girl is how she can pretend
he is interesting to her.
A man can come mighty near to be.
ing the ideal husband if he will just
get home regularly to meals.
The reason a woman with children
would rather lose all her teeth than
believe in heredity is their father.
The longer you wdrch a girl TO see
how she manages men, the longer you
can keep on watching without finding
out
When anything goes wrong in his
business a man can wait till he gets
home with the family to be cross
about it.
A woman can save ten cents of car
fare on buying her house supplies by
ordering from half dozen shops over
the telephone at ten cents for each.
Even when she is sure she couldn't
be more so, woman would rather
read about how to be beautiful than
anything else.-New, York Press.

Could have one doubt or dread.

He was found unconscious in his

the odor OF gas had penetrated through

of hoarCler. Weigert had evidently
arisen sometime earlier. How he could
have been overcome. unless he dropped
off to sleep again, Is mystery to tho
police.
There we're TWO gas burners in the
room. One Of these was fully turned
on. Mrs. Weisert, who has another
boarding house where she lives. said
that she was certain that it was an
accident.
II think he turned on The gas and
then couldn't find a match. she said.
After he did find one, why he lit the
other jet. forgetting that one was al
ready turned on. After that he must
have turned out the lighted burner and
fallen asleep"

one year Imprisonment at hard labor

Petitions signed by hundreds of

ing TO the recent death of his wife
Before passing sentence on Kuehnle
Justice Samuel Kalisch reviewed the
case and commented upon the petitions
for mercy. "The court has its duty to
perform" he said, "and while these
petitions are entitled to great consid
GRAFTON that duty must be performed
for the public good. To my mind, 1t
makes no difference whether this Of
fense was the first under the statute
or not, nor whether the contract
kuehnle awarded to Lockwood was
only indirectly participated in by the
company in which he was interested.
THE jury properly found that the
defendant was guilty OF awarding a
contract as water commissioner indi-
rectly to the United Paving Company
in which he was a stockholder, which
is plainly violation of the law. The
highest considerations of public welfare
demand that public officials shall not
in such manner make use of their
office, and that they be punished
TT Is a painful duty / have to per-
form. in the face of petitions from so
many highly respectable citizens who
ask me to extend mercy, which l shall
do so far as is consistent with right. l
do not believe a fine would properly
punish the defendant for his crime.
During the judges remarks Kuehnle
remained seated, but stood up for SEN
tence. He never even WINGED as Judge
Kalisch said "One year in State prison
at hard labor" Hard labor for

pounds, and has not lifted his hand to
any manual work for thirty years ~

Her despair at this discovery led her,
yesterday morning, to drink Il mixture
of denaturod alcohol and tupentine in

would not know that she was working
for her living. The firm by which she
is employed as a saleswoman has al
ways considered her exceptionally
bright AT one time she studied TO be-
come a trained nurse.
