sweetheart did Ever since her mother
had died Ethel had led a hard, slave

lived at Chenille. 1t was the lure OF

William Moore, her father, to abandon

city fifty miles distant, to fill out, as he
anticipated, the glowing dream of his

If Papa McStubbins Saw the Point, He
Should Have Appreciated Daugh-

It was only a short time after Lulu
McStubbins was married that the
startling truth was forced upon her
that her young husband was not ex-
actly a teetotaler. One evening few
weeks after the wedding that strict
old cold water man, Papa McStubbins,
dropped in to call. He found his
daughter all alone. After a while he
asked:
Where is Christopher"
"Well, the fact is, Christopher isn't
feeling very well this evening"
rs that so? What seems to be the
matter?"
"Well-er-the fact Christie
pher is suffering from a bad attack OF

That's a disease I never heard of. I

"Oh, no, father. Let me explain.

ried another sutton: William Moore's
wife died, he sold out his business and
then lost his cash in an unwise specu-
lation.
Then the shoe began to pinch. He
had a small house in the city which
brought in a certain income, but not
enough to cover living expenses.
Ethel learned to do dressmaking and
how to trim hats in season at the vii
lage millinery store, and her little
earnings helped to keep the wolf from
the door.
1t was when Archie Winston came
into her life that the days seemed
worth while and the nights were filled
with sweet dreams. He held a clerical
position, where any pretentious salary
income was in the future, and when
they talked of the wedding day they
referred to 1t as very far ahead. Ethel
was loyal to the comfort and interests
for it and encouraged her in her
course. The old man had grown sour
and selfish, and would not hear of q
change in their domestic relations.
Il may get something yet out of my
unfortunate investment" he was wont
to say. IF I do I'd feel more certain
of things" and then dolefully he would
finish up with the remark: IF we

It was several days after the big
storm and the fallen and hanging limbs
of the giant trees surrounding the
Moore homestead had not been cleared

"HaiIstorm Belt" In ENGLAND.

An ecentricity of English weather

of England Again and again the hail

east do not fall until they touch the
first bit of rising ground, and this ris

a general belief that years which be

recent hail, earlier than usual in the

Keota Company's Separator Burned

The new Case grain separator recent
ly purchased by company of local far
mers, caught fire about $50 o'clock
Tuesday evening. and in just few min
utes all the inflamable parts had been
consumed. The fire started from hot
tumbling-rod bearing which had been
placed close to one of the stacks. The
machine and horsepower had just been
moved to the Frank Trumbo place, and
had threshed out twenty mine bushels of
wheat. As the rest of Mr.. Trumbo's
grain, consisting of four stacks of head
ed wheat and two stacks of rye, was
burned, his loss is greater than that of
the individual members of the company.
The Case machine is constructed largely
of metal, and it is thought that the
damage to it can be repaired for less
than $500. The manufacturers have
been requested to send out an expert.
Mr.. Trumbo had expected to put in
another grain crop; but having been Of
