Root of the Evil.

1.-The Cry to-day is that girls go
wrong because they are dogged by
men, but the initiative appears to be
taken by mothers and daughters
themselves. The night caps, scant
attire, peekaboo waists, hobble skirts
and fiimsy silken stockens do not
breed respect for womanhood. If wo-
men want to wear trousers, why do
they not wear them with both legs
instead of trying to stick both feet
into one leg? ''If men are not to be
enticed to make advances, why do
the mothers allow their daughters to
walk around bare armed, bare legged,
with bare backs and bare besoms,
making eyes at the men2 with the
immodest dress of the average girl of
to-day, it requires a great deal of
nerve for a minister to. look the ladies
unblushingly in the face and greet
them with a warm handshake at the
door of church. .''-Ex.

Killed by Sheriff.

A number of Mexicans working at
one of the salt mines in Kanapolis
got in load of boose last night and
proceeded to celebrate the birthday
anniversary of one of their number.
The inevitable result was a free-for-
all fight and things became so warm
that Sheriff Bradshaw was sent for.
He went over about noon accom-
panied by deputy Ed Moore, and as
he drove up in his car to where two
Mexicans were fighting, Bradshaw
called to them TO stop. Each of them
picked up two empty bottled and
came on a run towards the automo-
mobile Bradshaw and Moore jumped
to the ground and drew their revol-
vers and ordered the men to STOP
They came right on and the officers
fired in the air to frienghten them
This did not have the desired effect,
and the foremost man attempted
TO strike Bradshaw he knocked him
down with the butt end of his reyol-
yer. Moore covered the other man
with his revolver and he gave up.
Bradshaw;s man got up Immediately
and renewed the fight. The sherin
backed up slowly until he backed in
to small building which he did not
notice until he was against it, With

his back against the building Rufus
ordered the Mexican to submit to
arrest or he would shoot. The Mexi-
can, however, made a fina1Srush, and
Bradshaw shot him through, the
heart, killing him instantly. The
dead mans name is Juan Gonzales,
and the name of the other man is
Diaz. He claims he is relative of
the ex-president of Mexico. 1t was
his birthday anniversary they were
celebrating. The body of Gonzales
was brought to Ellsworth after being
viewed by the coroner Diaz was
handcuffed after a hard struggle and
brought to Ellsworth and locked up.

We are approaching our hail season
and it is time you should be planning
to get for yourself the best possible
protection. We all know that the
cheapest article sold is not always
the best, hence do not jump at cheap
insurance offered by strange solicitors
who are with US today but gone when
surance from your home agents who
represent reliable stock companies
which pay you cash on the date of
adjustment. We represent the St.

Billy Sunday on Insurance.

In recent sermon, Rev. William
Sunday, ex-ball player and we'll known
evangelist, tells why he carries thous-
ands of dollars of life insurance, al
though his annual income is much
larger than the income of the average
preacher.
1 don't look like man that would
die very quickly, do II 1 have just
as good a physique as you ever gazed
at i wouldn't trade with any man l
know. A lot of you fellows are
stronger than /, but L have as good a
physique as you ever looked at. l
have been preaching at this pace for
fourteen years, and I've stood it, al
though L begin to feel myself falling
little bit. ~
But 1 may die, and on that may
on that possibility, l carry thousands
and thousands of dollars Of life inSur-
ance. / don't believe that any man
does right TO himself, his wife or his
children if he doesn't provide for
them with life insurance, so when he
is gone they will not be thrown on
! the charity of the world. And next
to my faith in God, if 1 should die
tonight, that which would give me
the most comfort would be the
knowledge that l have in safe de-
posit vault in Chicago, life insurance
papers, paid for up to date, and my
wife could cash them in and she and
/ the babies could listen to the wolves
howl for good many years.
/ don't expect to die soon. / may

ands and thousands of dollars of life

MARY's FLY.

Mary had a female fly
She turned it loose one day;
That fly laid forty million eggs
And then she few away.
Each egg Matched out as you may
know,
Hard by the kitchen door,
And every fiylet bumped herself
For forty million more.
A million trillion, multiplied
And still they seemed to come;
Till Mary in her anguish cried
"You put me on the buml'
Then Mary got a bunch of wire,
All handled up to swing,
But though she swatted right and
left
She couldn't do thing.
To scare the pesky horde away
That hung about her door,
And someone heard poor Mary say
1t made her awful sore.
Buzz in, but out, from morn to night
o sad it is to tell!
Those 1eis caught Mary in her fright
And dragged her off to = we'll, no
not Mary.

He vows that he will never be SO

The foreigner who has declar-

citizen is already voter in this state,
but his wife, whether native or
foreign born, cannot vote until her
husband has secured his second
papers" AS many foreigners are
opposed to woman suffrage they may
delay action on that point and thus
keep their wives from becoming voters
as long as possible However, if the
wife be native born, she will become
voter on the death of her husband,
regardless of his naturalization. This
matter of female suffrage is a subject
of general interest and it would be
we'll if some effort were made to
spread useful information among
voters in regard to it.
