Taking Big Chances

It is too great risk to depend up
on neighbors or sending for medicine
In case OF a sudden attack of bowel
complaint. In almost every neighbor-
hood someone has died from cholera
morbus that could havo easily been
saved had tho proper medicine been
at hand. Then think Of the suffering
that must be endured until medicine
can be obtained. The safe way is to
keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain
Collie. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
1t has never been known to fail and
has undoubtedly saved the lives of
many people. Buy it now. It only
costs a quarter. For sale by all drug

IN HONOR OF MARK TWAIN

Plans have been made for the dedi-
cation in August Of monument to
Mark Twain at Hannibal, Mo-, though
there has been some suggestion OF a
pOstponement on account Of a tech
cality connected with the state APP
preparation. But whenever it takes
place, it will be an event coming home
more closely to Americans than most
literary anniversaries.
Other authors sought their heroes
and heroines in the gilded palaces of
q foreign shore, amid the shadowy ro-
nance Of history, or in the glitter of
tho aristocracy. Ordinary life SEEM
ed to them too dull and commonplace
to furnish material for a good story.
Mark Twain had that supreme in
stinct that can see picturesque mater
ial and dramatic elements in the
cry day life lying at his door. While
others travelled the world in search
Of a literary Eldorado, he found the
hidden gold at his own feet.
| He always celebrated the typical
American qualities. His characters
good humor. They never turned up
their trousers because it rained in
London. Nor did they go to dances
at 10 p. m. because that may be a
fashionable hour in New York.
Mark Twain won great audience
by those boisterous qualities of exag-
gerated humor which are typically Am.
erican His remark in speaking of
the peace given by religious faith,
that he had been often impressed by
the confidence the Christian felt when
he held four aces, was an aphorism
that could never be spoken by an En-,
lishman, a German, or Frenchmar
You find its parallel, in an initiative
degree, in every newspaper
Twenty years ago Mark Twain was
regarded by the literary critics as
one who appealed merely to the desire
for temporary amusement. His books
were about like the comic paper that
you buy to read on the train, but ne
yer take home. The pilgrimage of
literary notables that will be head.
Ing for Hannibal will show how the
final estimate of Mr.. Clemens has
changed.

GIRL ON WITNESS STAND ACCUSES
WOMAN OF luRING Her INTO EVIL WAYS

on TO the different nights. when. It
was stated. at the solicitation Of the
defendant, she stayed with men and
was paid for II by Anna Neary.
The defendant corroborated the
testimony of the witness as to the
first meeting and the employment OF
the Bogue girl. but denied that she
had ever encouraged or induced the
girl to do wrong. She declared that
her relationship with Jim Dixie. and
others mentioned was at tho girls
own volition and that the only
knowledge of the Illicit escapades
had come to her from the girls own
lips. In short. attorney Archibald
brought out that the girl had con-
fessed to Mrs. Neary that she had
been loose" in her conduct with
men without any urging.
Defense sought to put Probation
Officer Mccarthy on the rack for the
interest displayed by that officer In
making tho complaint. but little OF
material value developed from his
testimony. Throughout the trial the
defense raised objections to the quer-
les put by the deputy district attor-
ney and the manner of procedure.
hut his objections were In every in
stance overruled by the court. The
case will go to jury sometime this
| afternoon.
