Robert Dixon, who was indicted
by the district court grand jury yes
terday on the charge of assault in
the second degree, was arraigned
before Judge Pau at ten O'Clock this
morning. After hearing the indict
ment read by Harrison l.. Schmitt
acting county attorney for ]. w.
Schmitt. Judge Pau asked Dixon if
he wished to make a plea. DiXon's
attorney, c. O. Daley. asked that
his client be given until ten O'Clock
tomorrow morning to consider the
matter and the request was granted
Judge Pau then adjourned court
until that time.
When interviewed. Dixon told The
Free Press that he intended to enter
a plea of not guilty to this charge,
the same that he made to the charge
preferred against him in the munich
pal court. He says that he will
never confess to anything that he has
not DONE Dixon claimed to be
rather disappointed that the charge
was lowered from attempt at rape
in the municipal court to assault in
the second degree in the district
court He seems to think that there
was less chance of convicting him
on the former charge than on the
latter. If convicted of assault he
will get of with jail sentence.

ment that the Blinkerhoff was a "sttn-

rotary Soaring copy of the "Bny-

music trades of New York. The
book described the piano as a stand

satisfactory. He also read q letter
from the company in regard to the
matter. The board expressed its
opinion that the piano was not a
stenciled instrument and that the
piano had proven satisfactory in

Too Many Phone Calls.
There was some talk among the
members Of the board regarding
abuse of telephone service in the
school house. DIR. Beach said that
he could recall times when mothers
who had forgotten to order meat
for dinner would call up the school
house and ask the superintendent if
he would not please tell Johnny to
so to the meat market and get some
pork chops or beef steak when he
came home. He said that there had
been times when the super" had
been almost constantly busy an
swering calls of this kind and that
the system was a great nuisance.
There was some talk of taking some
of the phones out and all the mem
bers seemed to agree that it was
unfair to a superintendent who was
drawing $1,000 per year to make
him a messenger boy for forgetful
parents

a shrewish woman was, and how
everybody would hate her and
avoid her if she gave way to tam
trums. All in vain. Sally was
insensible to that view of the sub
ject.
Finally one day her mother said
to her. You have a brilliant mind,
and a wonderfully strong will.
wonder that any one with your
intelligence and your determine
ton of character should be domi-
mated by a weakness" That APP
pealed to Sally's vanity, and just
to show that she was stronger
than her temper she conquered it
so that to-day she has reputa-
ton for amiability.
And if you can do more with
soft words than with hard ones
with children, how very. very
more efficacious in fiattery than
knocks in the family circle! Be
lieve me, it is soft soap that
makes the domestic machinery re-
volve without a hitch.
Who is the woman who spends
hours and days joyously over the
kitchen stove, connecting tooth
some dishes for her lord and mas
ter? Is it the wife of the man
who is always batting her because
she can't make bread like mother
used to make? Nay, verify. The
woman who knows that her best
culinary efforts are going TO be
growled over, anyway, stops on
the way home from her bridge
whist, and buys an unsavory mess
at the delicatessen store, which
she sets before the Crouch she is
tied to.
It is the wise husband who
praises his wife's handiwork as he
eats who fares sumptuously
every day, for there's some en-
couragement to a woman to make
burnt offering Of herself if she
is going to receive the proper APP
probation for il. But nobody
wants to be an unsung martyr.
The Secret.
Who is the woman who pares,
and scrimps, and economies, and
makes over her old clothes and
retrims her hats? Is it the wife
whose husband is always berat-
ing her for her extravaganza?
Not much. She feels that mas
much as she is going 10 be blamed
anyway, she had as we'll have
good clothes by way of consola-
ton. The woman who squeezes a
nickel until the buffalo on it bowls
with pain is the one whose hus-
band is always boasting that she
is such a financier that If she had
her due she would be Secretary
of the Treasury.
Also, you may observe, that the
husbands who are nailed to their
own fresides are the men whose
wives are always telling about
how entertaining John is. and how
big and strong and handsome and
wise he is. Keeping fiattery on tap
at home is like keeping Scotch on
the sideboard A man doesn't
have to run around the corner TO
get 1t. Also it's generally a better,
brand and not so expensive.
The moral OF all Of which IS
that praise is the lever by which
each OF us can move our little
world. And the more fools we,
that We haven't sense enough to
use it oftener.

" ONSIDERING that vanity is

and that we are all brother and

queer that we have never found
out how much more efficacious a

Personally, we all know in our
