GAINESVILLE has certainly produced
new woman. The husband, who re-
fused to support the family for years,
was arrested upon her complaint. The
man, who is tailor, is hired by his
wife. The sheriff draws the man s
wages and turns them over to his wife,
and if she is feeling exceptionally good
natured, she gives her husband few
pennies, as he is now sentenced to one
year of hard labor This condition Of
affairs is only possible through a law
passed last year.
eve are both getting old. He is
thirty and | am thirty-three. Thus
one famous pitcher spoke of his leading
rival in connection with the baseball
games for the championship of the
world. Getting old at thirty and thir-
| ty-three 1t sounds absurd, but the
speaker knew what he was talking
about. The usefulness of the profess
sional athlete ends at an age when the
business or professional man has still
to reach his prime, with the best part
of his life before him Many a boy
feels the lure Of professional athletics,
but there is another side Of the picture
that he should not forget to consider.
There is still on the part of some
automobilists disregard Of the conse-
quences to their fellow citizens entaied
by reckless speeding, and when this re-
suits in tragedy those who cause it are
deserving Of punishment as sharp and
severe as the law will allow. The
streets belong to all the people, and
should be made safe for all the people.
This fundamental principle is recogniz-
ed by decent and reasonable citizens,
automobiles as well as others. A
reckless speeder endangers everybody
and everything on the road. He is a
common enemy and the law should deal
with him as such. But even among
reckless speeders there are graGations
Of culpability. The automobilist who
gets into collision and runs away adj
mits guilt and shows callosity of dis
position that merits heavier punishment
when he is caught.

Acid Kill. Poultry.

Six thousand gallons of sulphuric
acid, the product of the Mineral Point
Zine company, were lost last Thursday
morning in a peculiar accident in De
Pue. says the Galena Gazette. A rail-
road tank car filled with the acid was
waiting to be picked up by a freight train
which would carry it to it's destination,
Gary, Ind. The engine of freight
train came along and backed up to
hook on the car but the locomotive
struck the tank car under high speed,
and the force of the collision broke the
nozzel Of the tank, letting the acid
run out.
On account of the danger in handling
the acid, nothing could be done to stop
the leak and the entire carload was re-
leased. The acid ran into several yards
along the railroad track, and chickens,
ducks and other domestic animals were
killed, the feet and lower portions Of
their bodies being frightfully burned

Any male Teller who will go to a

If there was a law agin goin to

One of the freaks of human nature is
the fact that the crowd is always dis
appointed when the fremen get the

any damage.
There is nobody so unhappy as the

Better Join the "Spuas."


About this time of the year the so
called Spugs renew their annual crusade
of activities, and for the next few
weeks the people will hear good deal
about this society and the principle
which it represents and is working for.
The Spugs, you know, are persons who
have Joined he-society for the Proven
ton of Useless Christmas Giving, and
during the last few years this society
has gained vast membership in this
country. 1t is a conceded fact that mil
lions of dollars are annually wasted in
the giving Of useless Chritmas presents.
More than that, it is also as true as it is
unfortunate that countless people have
degenerated into the custom Of com
mercializing Christmas. giving. They
give with the hope of getting some
thing in return. This is all wrong. 1t
is contrary to the spirit of the occasion.
