How cold is il? Don't just exactly
degrees below zero in the shade, while
others actually went down out of sight
What do we do this cold weather? Why
some are hustling to keep warm, some
are drawing logs, some are cutting and
drawing wood, and some are bumped up
over the stove like hound over a mush
pot. Oh, yes, we all have our different
occupations. All kinds of people to make
up the world. How do the people take
the cold weather? Well some take il
cool, while some others take 1t different
Nobody frozen yet. One family moved
in the cellar but the frost has now caught
them. Potatoes in the cellars are being
frozen. Some haYe put stoves in TO keep
their fruit and potatoes from freezing
Yes, the cold weather is sitting hard on a
good many and is catching them where
they live. We don't know how cold it is
at this writing, but the tea kettle froze
up on the stove and we have to keep our
mittens on to put in the wood. We will
try to pull through until Feb. I'd and
then we will come out of our dens as
gold tried In the fire.

now serve two purposes.

Louis Kraeer of Sheffield Saturday
stated that in all probability the deep
we'll being drilled near Barnes, Warren
county, would be abandoned. The well
was started several months ago and il
was determined to make thorough tesl
OF the strata surrounding that territory
by drilling it as deep MS possible. The
we'll was run down until the hole was
about 5000 deep, when a strata of mud
lava was reached. This was cased of
and the we'll shot downward until it was
8 5,20S feet in depth. Then the tools were
lost and since that time about nine
months fishing work has been INDUCED
in. The tools cannot be recovered aud
progress has been stopped. Another deep
we'll is being drilled in Tiogs county and
1t is down about 5000 feet, and work will
be continued as long as possible upon it.

TIE Franklin News says: 1.-THE fact
that half of the 1920 of fines, recently
imposed by court for violations of the
liquor laws, goes to the law library was
news to most people. This provision is
in the laws placed on the statute books
by members of the legal profession, who
usually make up the majority In all
legislative bodies. But the average lay
man is Of the opinion that the money
should go to scme object that would bene-
fit the people generally, such as public Ii
braries or the hospitals, or even all into
the county treasury. No club or other
organization is partially maintained in
this way. With all due respect 10 the
disciples of Blackstone we contend that it
was not fair to thus take advantage of us
poor laymen." Which moves the Oil
City Blizzard To remark that "there is sp-
parent no more reason for turning it over
to the law library than to the Paresis
club" Or, peradventure, the beef trust.

In selecting nominees for Congress
men st-lsrge more attention should be
paid TO the cslinre of the men than to the
locality in which they rside. The little
fellows who claim recognition on account
of the section IN which they reside, should
not be taken seriously. When body OF
representative men meet in convention
they ought to set the example OF picking
out the best material to be had without

WHEN Gov. Woodrow Wilson. the lead
ing Democratic Presidential aspirsnt
wrote to friend, some five years ago,
this plebesn sentence: "Would that we
could do something, at once dignified and
effective, to knock Mr.. Bryan once for all
into cooked hat," he had no thought
that the chicken would so soon come
home to roost. II is likely Mr.. Bryan
will call upon Woodrow to swallow those
words before he will move to make the
nomination unanimous. In the meantime
the effort to adopt the cooked hat'' as the
new party emblem will doubtless be
kicked into smithereens by the Demo-
cratic mule.

CHAPTER XIV.

Annie entered the presence of the
famous lawyer pale and Ill at ease.
This sudden summons to Judge
Brewster's private Office was so unex-
pected that it came like a shock. For
days she had haunted the premises,
sitting in the outer office for hours at
time exposed to the stare and
covert smiles of thoughtless clerks
and office boys. Her requests for an
interview had been met with curt re-
fusals. They either said the judge
was out of town or else that he was
too busy to be seen, At last, evil
IDENTIFY acting upon orders, they fat
ly refused to even send in her name,
and she had about abandoned hope
when, all at once, a clerk approached
her. and addressing her more politely
than usual. said that the judge would
see her in a few minutes.
Her heart gave a great throb. AL
most speeches. from surprise. she
stammered a faint thanks and braced
herself for the interview on which so
much depended For the first time
since the terrible affair had happened.
there was faint glimmer of hope

Towards arrest, and the trial would
take place in six weeks. There was
still time to prepare strong defense
If the Judge would only consent to
take the case. She was more sure
than ever that a clever lawyer would
have no difficulty in convincing jury
that Towards alleged confession"
was untrue and improperly obtained.
In the intervals of waiting to see
the lawyer, she had consulted every
one she knew, and among others she
had talked with DIR. Bernstein, the
noted psychologist, whom she had
seen once at Yale. He received her
kindly and listened attentively to her
story. When she had finished he had
evinced the greatest interest. He
told her that he happened to be the
physician called in on the night of the
tragedy, and at that time he had
grave doubts as to 1t being a case oil
murder. He believed 1t was suicide
and he had told Capt. Clinton so, but
the police captain had made up his
mind, and that was the end of it
Towards confession" he went on
really meant nothing. If called to the
stand he could show the jury that G
