AS TO GOVERNOR sULZER.

Governor Sulzer. Of New York, is
charged with grave o~ffenses which he
has not yet seen fit to deny. 1t is
charged. and documents have been
submitted in proof Of the charges, that
Mr.. Sulzer falsified the record Of his
campaign expenditures in the cam
paign in which he was elected, having
spent greater sums than were admit
ted in his official statement, thereby
violating a law of the state which he
had been elected to serve. 1t is charg-
ed further that he took money which
had been contributed to his campaign
fund. n instead Of using it as was
intended he used it as stock specula-
tons.
These are, in substance, the charges
made, and thus far the only reply
made by the governor is a denuncia-
ton Of Tammany, which organization
he u of all sorts of crime and
misdemeanors. Most people will be
willing to convict Tammany of every.
thing charged. without Investigations
and on general principles. If the
specific crimes charged were not com
mitted it was doubtless due to over
sight or lack of opportunity. But that
does not, for a moment, concern the
case Of Governor Sulzer. That people
would like to have the governor state
- not his opinion o fTammany or of
any person connected with that put
1T, but whether he did or did not do
the things which he is said to have
done.

The Evening Story

DIR. Jeffrey was the picture of wear
mess as he entered his reception Dol
on a scorching evening In August. He
had been up all the night before with
the Thompson baby; the day had been
the hardest of the summer, bringing
n heat prostration after another at
the Morley ironworks and a serious
accident to the occupants of a our
ing automobile. And tonight came
Phillipa Morley's lawn fete. Phil and
he were to be married in the autumn.
Naturally he would be her right hand
man at the function. And he was
SO tired! If only he might call her
up and beg off. Blu he didn't dare.
For weeks ne had noticed that Phil
was becoming decidedly irritable over
broken social engagements. Only a
few evenings before she had told him
with a frown puckering her pretty
little mouth that she was heartily tir-
ed of giving the excuse DIR. Jeffrey

He stood a moment thinking Of this
tiff n numerous others which had
preceded it: then he brew himself
on the couch and almost instantly
was sleeping the heavy sleep of utter
exhaustion.
When he awakened he found the
clock with the hour hand almost at

she saw his electric runabout pass at
9 o'clock and in the bright moonlight
never once, she saw. were his eyes
turned toward the Morley home. Then
in the morning came his note, brief
as hers had been.
Through the balance Of the hot
summer he never evinced the slightest
inclination to eat humble pie, but
went on his way as though she had
never been in his life. For the first
time in her petted, sheltered existence
she was finding one who would not
give in to what he had ono termed
her whims and fancies. And she be-
gan to love him as she never had in
the days Of their courtship. The con-
slant round Of gayety palled. She
missed Bruce's serious talks about the
life work in front of him. though she
once had privately thought them tire
some. She longed for some break in
what came to be monotony, and fin
ally h had her desire in a way never
dreamed of.
Since early summer. when her
brother and his wife had gone abroad.
she had had their three children and
their nurse with her. She woke up
one morning to nnd one Of the chill

ACCIDENT
Little Girl, Who Was Not rhoupht tn

New Salem, N. D.. Aug. 12.-Agnes,
the 1~3-year-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Joersz, had a very serious
accident befall her. With her par
ents she had been to the Heart River
picking chokecherries and on the way
home jumped suddenly from the bug
gy. On striking the ground she cried
out, "Oh, but that hurt" but there
was no outward appearance of any in
jury. A physician was not called un-
til Tuesday when upon examination 1t
was learned hat the whole abdomen
was badly inf1amed and the child in a
critical condition indeed. She was
taken to the Bismarck hospital where
an operation was performed.

81 POULTRY !! !, l. rs


Most young chicks are now Of an
age when they a take pretty good
care Of themselves. Still the poultry
raiser mus not conclude they need
no more attention than do older
birds.
Growing chicks should not be fed
In the same pen with the birds OF last
year. or those of the year before,
ecause the chances are against their
getting h proper amount of food to
insure their coming to maturity at
the earliest time. They should be
cared for specially so that they will
begin laying about October or No
vember.
Neither should pullets be allowed
to run with the cockerels. If they are
left together, the brazen, active little
cockerels will get the larger .
ton Of the food.
BY separating them, the pullets will
begin laying much earlier. Results
OF rests have shown that pullets kept
by themselves lay as much as a
month earlier than those allowed to
run with the cockerels. The growth
Is better and more even.
Don't attempt to feed too many
chicks in a small place. Give them
plenty OF ROOM, which will insure
them exercise and enough food. Don't
feed too much corn.
Until cold weather comes, I would
not feed whole corn at all. It can.
not be easily ground up by the chicks

Phillipa Morley stormed and cried
over that letter. She had not looked
for it. She had expected his voice to
come over the telephone in eager pro-
test. and she had sent her note that
he might receive it in the early even
ing. She had donned a particularly
charming gown that Bruce admired
in the certainty that. after the talk
over the wire, when she would forgive
him with the right degree OF conde-
scension, he would spend the evening
on the Morley shaded veranda. In

at Phillipa's flames of anger. "Phil

Negro Woman lis Years Old

In the case Of Sadie Carthcart against
the Western Union Telegraph company,
in which the plaintiff claimed $1,000 dam
ages for an alleged failure to deliver a
telegram announcing the death of rela-
tive, the evidence tended to show that the
deceased was over 115 years old.
The case was tried before Judge Charles
w. Ferguson of the city court, the plain
tiff being the great great granddaughter
of the deceased. The plaintiff and her
witnesses were colored and in her com.
plaint she alleged that she had suffered
much pain and mental anguish by the fail
ure of the company to deliver the mes
sage announcing the death of her ancient
relative. The defendant company proved
that the message had arrived at night and
that it was under no obligations to deliver
it until the morning, which was done.
The jury returned a verdict for the de-
fendant.
