case was getting to be serious indeed.
It embraced libel salt, damage
suit. q general all around unpleas-
antness between good people. There
was not q runt nor fool on either
side. There was not an idiot nor SIM
pleton. There was blood in the eye
and fight in the air. Both sides had
signihed their intention of going
broke or make the other fellow take
water.
At midnight all things had been
beautifully settled, two days later
they shook hands and forgave and
none on either side is ever to renew
the battle or tell how it was settled,
nor mention it at home or elsewhere.
1t is done.
Why can't we have this sort of
thing right along9
Why can we not have a man and

After they get the lawyers its a
fight.
Even the loser thinks he got the

Let all people understand that they

Let friends and neighbors advise

Nine law suits out of every ten

Saturday Afternoon on Main Street
Your Child Discover was on Main
street one hour Saturday afternoon
watching folks come and go. Here is
what he saw:
Little girls rarely ever saw them
selves in the windows. Big girls
nearly always took = squirt at them
selves and the young ladies got
peek every now and then, although
they were subtle ebout it many times.
The older women did not bother
about is much but did not hesitate to
get good look at themselves al
though pretending they saw some
thing in the window that caught their
eye.
The young ladies who took short
steps were more likely to take side
glances to see how their dresses hung
the ones who walked with graceful
long strides usually looked into the
side glasses.
Young men with work clothes only
now and then took casual look,
but those with a new hat or suit on
took a snapshot in a least half the
windows. The dude older fellows
spied out their bearings generally and
some of the old patriarchs braced up
and looked admiringly upon that
straight figure reflected in the plate
glass.
1t is a good practice, these snide
old prudes notwithstanding.
1t does a man good to have good
lie told about him and that is just
what a plate glass window reflection
does for us.
saw thin young ladies with
dropping shoulders and sauntering
step take a look at themselves, throw
their shoulders, draw up the abdo-
men, straighten their feet out to the
proper angle, break away from slop-
pv shuttle and assume graceful way.
An occasional old man would
throw his head back twenty degrees
and note how his coat tails hung.
Some older women cut their down
twenty years and thought how much
younger they looked than they felt.
Look this matter up, reader. You
do not have to wait for Saturday at
ternoon, think of it any day and see
what you see.
About FIVE squads OF pretty nine.
teen year old girls. four squads Of
sixteen year old girls and three sets
of three each of fifteen year old girls
and about Ave couples Of sixteen
year old damsels were witnessed
passing up and down. Most Of these
girls grew up here in town. Just
the other day they had on short
dresses. A wad Of gum then did not
look so bad as now and a giggle then
was but the fountain overflow of
girlish innocence. now its more like
the sputter of molasses on waffle.
To a stranger these dear girls
might look rather undignified, but to
those of US who have watched their
dresses year by year and have seen
the light beneath gradually shut out
and have seen them daily on the same
