At special meeting of the village

over the electric light proposition,
the sentiment was quite strongly in
favor of looking into the matter in a
serious way Fred Welsh, who has a
good gasoline engine in his feed mill,
and lots of room for an extensive
works, offers to go into the bust
ness. The plan of action seems to be
to have a company organized to put
in a plant and the village give the
company a contract for streetlighting /;
also, for the village to put in water
works, and run both with one plant.
There has been considerable talk
about taxes being rather high this
year, but they are only mill more
than last year-161s mills, as against
151s for last year. The increase is
mostly in the state tax.

Christmas spirit in great shape. The
stores are tastefully decorated, and
the goods best calculated for presents
are displayed in tempting style. Es-

She was a beautiful girl and an only child.
From the first day she able to ask for
things, she asked and they were granted.
Her parents INDUCED her every whim so far
as it was within their means. When she
was growing up the fact that things were not
within her parents means did not deter her
from expecting them and oftentimes demand

her mother and father. Naturally she arrived
at young womanhood self-centered, selfish,

to wait on her just as she did when she was
a child and only as doting, foolish mother
can wait on selfish exacting child The
only sign of appreciation the mother ever got
was request that more be done for the girl.

house one evening business call. He
was struck with the girls beautiful hair and

man as far as women were concerned, or he
might have detected the soullessness of the
girl. She had long since made up her mind
that she was going to marry wealth, even
though it came to her in the person of a man
old enough to be her father. He proposed to
her after brief courtship. She told him she
loved him. She told him that no man in the
world ever could fill her heart and life as he
had done. He married her. He was the soul
of generosity and good man in every way.

she listened. One afternoon her husband
came home early. The bachelor was just
taking leave. The husband demanded an ex-

the wife told her husband that she loved the
man; that she never had loved him. She
asked for a divorce, that she could marry

he never for moment doubted her. But he
gave her a divorce, that she might marry the
man she loved and be happy. The bachelor
however, had no intention of marrying her.
And he told her so. He told her he would
never think of marrying a divorced woman;
that when he married he wanted an unsophis-
ticated girl-not woman of the world
Then the woman returned to her husband and
pleaded to be taken back. But with the
bitter words of her confession that she no
longer loved him still ringing in her hus-
