tis claim and get judgment. But
should the claim be doubtful and
there is a possibility that the person
sued will contest the debt. then the
creditor under Judge Strangs dc
cision can send his claim outside the
state for collection and the only rem
edy the man sued has is to go to that
state wherein he is sued and. defend
himself. This is not an easy matter
TO do as it costs money and time TO
go to Kansas or some other state to
defend a petty suit. The result is
taat the man sued lets the case go
by default and has the costs to pay,
| challenge Judge Strane's author
ity to pass on the constitutionality Of
CTR laws This is matter for the
state supreme court to pass on and
Lot our petty courts. The law as
written is plain and in this case it
seems to me the judge could have
fairly said: Gentlemen this is the
law, | am not responsible for its be-
ing on the statute book and have only
one duty to perform and that is to
uphold the law as written"
Now this may be a very popular de-
cision for the Retailers Association
and the collection agencies, but the
railway employees of this county and
state will resent this and | am con
fdent that this case will be appealed
to the supreme court of the state aud
the matter setted rightfully and the
workingmen will feel secured in their
rie hits and not be made a common
prey for collection sharks-E. s..

this reason, as in the case of special

red on their account, and the payment
OF interest and principal, on such

all similar items pertaining to the

it is hopeless to attempt to learn the

AT reCkIed Cupid
BY Wilbur D. Nesbit

It is not written in books Of fate
that the Fourth Of July is any day to
propose to girl.
Christmas day, Thanksgiving day,
New Years day, or any other day will
do, but the Fourth is not romantic;
1t Is patriotic. On that day man is
supposed to love his native land. He
is to listen to speeches, or make them,
about the 1ndivisibility Of our country.
He is to watch the fireworks where
they are permitted-and not do any
sparkling on his own account.
Every day is Fourth Of July to some
men. They have made up their minds
that they hope to marry a certain girl,
but when it comes to stating their de-
cision the tongue cleaves to the roof
of the mouth and the right arm seems
to have lost its cunning.
Jim Hicks was such man When
love making was concerned, all days
were the Fourth for him. Otherwise
his name would have been Armand
Decourcey. AS 1t was, he was just
what you would expect Of man Of
that name.
Jim had been keeping company"
off and on with Luella Miller for q
matter Of three years. This guaran-
teed him a certain standing as her
sbeau,'' but what woman wants to go
on forever that way?
On Luella's mind was the one i'm
portant thought which rests upon the
mind of every woman when she has
found the right man. That was to
make Jim propose. The romantic no
ton that a woman in love is a coy,
blushing thing, timorous, trembling,
afraid Of the great masculine creature,
may be justified in some cases. But
with the Luellas and Jims Of this
world it does not obtain. Luella had
exhibited to Jim her deftness as q
cook; she had acquainted him with
her cleverness as a needleworker. she
!. had demonstrated over and over that
she would make an ideal wife.
But Jim hadn't proposed.
Consequently, on the Fourth, when
Luella saw Henry Nelson, the bad boy
Of the village, with huge cannon
cracker he had kept secreted since
last year, and which he proposed to
explode somewhere during the day OF
evening, she made war plans.
Henry" she said. don't you know
it's against the law to have such 9
flrecracker?"
cav" Henry muttered. Il DOM
! know"
u. .sWell, it is. And If the marsha
finds It out he will put you in the
lookup as an example"
CAV! Somebody's always maxim
example o. me. s'pose you're goin
10 20 an blab on me now.
q won't, If you'll do something To-
Il r,a-and it will be q whole lot q
fun Tor you, Henry. :
