vacant for a number of years and
finally was leased for a girls school.

Young Mr. Bennett was deeply in

off the mortal coil until he had tried

arrived he was there.

Miss Ruth Russell and Mr.. Charles
Bennett had arrived at point. Miss
Ruth was eleven years old and Mr..
Bennett was two years older when
their fathers quarraled about ques-
ton of chemistry or Jurisprudence or
something or other, and the boy and
girl used to make up faces at each
other over the line fence.
The professor would not admit that
under any circumstances could he be
wrong. He had gone over the ques-
ton, whatever it was, a hundred times
and he could not find any flaw in 1t
on which to base change OF opinion.
He must, therefore, consider Judge
Bennett bigoted ass and drop his
acquaintance.
Judge Bennett hadn't had to turn
the question over in his mind He
knew he was right from the start, and
he knew the professor was wrong. On
most any other question he would
have given up, but on this-never!
There was no open hostility. 1t
was simply understood that the prin-
cipals and their families avoid each
other altogether, and that the Ben
nett goat and the Russell dog should
not cross the line between the two
estates. When the gentlemen met
there were two cold and distant bows
nothing more.
It's only natural philosophy that a
girl of eleven and a boy of thirteen
may make up faces at each other at
that date, and yet at nineteen and
twenty-one be in love with each 9TH
-er. 1t worked out that way in this
case. Until they were actually en-
gagged neither one seemed to remem-
Der the estrangement between the
fathers. Never since the misunder-
standing had one father spoken to the
offspring of the other. In fact, as the

politics from my viewpoint, 1t

First, it mightprovide for a quadri-
ennial state and county election and

iting its setting to sixty days,
Second to provide for State bank
inspector and giveus a lawrequiring
the banks to keep on hand one third
of the amount Of deposits, and to
make a quarterly statement to the
bank Inspector Of their financial con-
dition
Third, it should do away with the

township assessors, whose duty it
shall be to assess all the asscssablc
property at one.tourth IT'S cash

Fourth, it should provide for
Statewide Prohibition Of the liquor
traffic, or repeal the law making
drunkenness a crime, 1t is poor
grace on the part Of the state to
provide for furnishing man liquor
to get drunk on, and then fine him
for getting drunk.
Fifth, it should provide for equal

sometime was the game between the

the floor, which was settled Friday
night.
A large crowd was out to root for
the boys and some excitement was
caused by the good playing of both
teams. The lineup was as follows:

The first half opened up on the jump
with the Whitmans in the lead, the
Pirates seeming unable TO locate the
ball. and before they could wake up
the Whitmans were in the lead by
fourteen points when the whistle blew
for time. Not until the second half
did the real playing start, though some
fine tossing was exhibited in the first
half. Jones threw a pretty one from
the center of the field for the Pirates

with even honors at tossing and PASS
