when the law man threatened he.
with "statu quo," and "habeas cor

something.
The thing she did was to seek out
Eavline Keller, friend, who was a
deeper brunette, by seven full shades.
Would Evalina lend her the money?
Il would" said Evalina, at which
Minerva frightened up, "but 1 amt
got it." At which Minerva sank into
dependency again.
Minerals mind was rendered actir'e
by the desperation.

her take it out O. yo' salary she
suggested.

Friends Difficulties
Now, Evalina is skilled domest...
at the home of Mrs. F. Chopin. Ad-
though she has no defects in her eye
sight, Evalina couldn't see herself
making any indentations like that in
her salary without any concrete as
surance from her friend that she would
get it back At last Evalina got a
bunch that was a painless solution of
all the difficulties. She said she would
write Minerva a check for the amount.

Dusky Danes Plan To Appease
Lawyer Lands One In Prison

mot me-" grinned Evalina, "but Mis-
Chopin has"
So she forged Mrs. Chopin's name to
the check and handed it over to thank
full Minerva. Evalina observed that
while this method of obtaining emer-
gency cash was not countenanced by
the unreasonable laws, she knew
enough about lawyers to believe that
Minerals urgent counsel wouldn't ask
any confusing questions.
Makes Small Mistake
In Spelling Name
The minute the hopeful Minerva pre-
scented the forgery at the tellers' win
dow of the German-American bank, her
friends solution began to wobble at
the knees. A cynical man on the cash
side of the ornate ironwork gaZsd
through pair of suspicious glasses at
the check and opened fire on Minerva
with a volley of pointed queries. One
of the minor flaws detected in the
check was that Evalina had spelled
Mrs. Chopin's name "Chopan."
Minerva had to come right out and
admit that she was too honest person
to try and mislead the "gen man., and
since Evalina wasn't there, she made
full confession for her An officer
went out to Mrs. Chopin's residence
and arrested Evalina. She corrobor-
ated Minerals confession.
Thus did Evalina's regard for her
friend land her on the other side Of
the prison bars, while that $13 lawyer }
bill still treads on the unhappy heels
of the free Minerva.

To the Editor: Last Sunday night.
at the Madison opera house, Or.
Daniels caused quite a commotion by
his very bitter criticism as to the posi-
ton of the Lake county delegation in
the last legislature on house bill No.
Ais. In the Monday issue of the Daily
Sentinel he published II retraction Of
his statements referred to. This re-
traction is misleading in so far as ii
fails to give the true significance of the
said bill, and it has also a tendency to
th row further reflection ON my col
league, Representative Groce Of Ra-
mcna. For these reasons, permit me
just a few words of explanation. The
statement by DR.. Daniels that the
said bill was amended in the house 60
as to make it ridiculous is untrue.
The bill rec lived absolutely fair con
sideratioa in the house, but was de-
feated in the house by a large majority.
The bill itself, whether it has budded
from the fertile brain of DR.. Daniels
or it has originated from some other
source, is one of the most dangerous
legislation ever attempted in our state.
While the bill has some merits. yet,
if the provisions Of section 2 of the
said bill should become law, it would
permit crimes Of a most shocking ma
ture to go unpublished. and turn vir-
tuous homes, where families are reared
and cared for. into places of piostitu-
ton. In voting against this bill as II
was introduced and came before the
house for final passage. Mr.. Groce
should be commended in place of c-iti-
cised. If not absent on account of Ger
tain other important work, / also
should have voted against the said
bill. The bill in question I have in
my files and will be glad to have any
person come and examine same, and
be satisfied. Respectfuily.-Han
