and Marie Comisky, OF equal age.
1t was Marie who threw the monkey
wrench in the machinery of the merry
go-round elopement, figuratively
speaking.
Joe-he said his name was Baer--
thought Susie was pretty and said SO.
He let her ride free. That very night
Joe took Susie home. Irene walked
with them, but Marie was left out
Leaving Marie out was a fatal
blunder.
Marie learned that Susie had ar
ranged to elope to Milwaukee with
Joe Wednesday night. Indeed, Marie
came to Susie's house as Susie was
heaving a suitcase out of the window
and Irene was keeping Susie's mother
interested In front of the house.
When Susie and Irene slipped away
Marie told her mother what she had
seen and heard.
Mrs. Comisky told Mrs. Doven-
muehm.
At the merry-go-round was Susie
and her "whirligig' hero. They had
$11 and quantities of air castles
that is, before Suse's mother arrived.
After the mother arrived. they had
ride in the patrol wagon. Susie
also had-painful to say-a sound
spanking from her father.
Suse's distressing experience with
her father, as a result of the other
wise unfruitful experience. leaves her
one consolation.
She learned from the police station
records that the name she was about
to bear was not Baer at all. She
would have been Mrs. Joe Boron

IRISH towns a harmless botanist from
Britain may, when his car approaches
a particular quarter, be warned by
the driver to throw away or cover

Of the obnoxious color will expose him

These revolutions, however. have In
the course OF years been tending to
become rather less frequent, and GER
tainly less Sanguinary, .ust as in parts
Of South America there are volcanoes
once terrible by their tremendous
eruptions which now content them
selves with throwing out few show
ers OF ashes or discharging a stream
Of fava from a little crater near the
base. This rising ended with a sur
render. accompanied by an amnesty
which included the absence of any
decree of confiscation Of property. so
no blood was shed except in the field.
When I asked what were the griev-
ances alleged to justify the revolt,
the answer was that an election of
the legislature was impending, that
the new Legislature would. when
elected. proceed forthwith to the
choice of a president Of the republic
for the next four years, that the
Blancos fully expected that the cleo
tons would be so handled by the gov
eminent in power as to secure ma
jority certain to choose particular
candidate whom the Blancos feared
and disliked, and that therefore the
only course open to the latter was to
avert by an appeal to the arms the
wrong which would be done to the
nation by tampering with the rights
of the electors.
