events Of the last "a hours, Thaw be-
gan his preliminary fight with the
declarations that his lawyers would
not let william 7. Jerome railroad
him back to the asylum without a
hard fight.

be no delay in giving the fugitive a
hearing in the extradition proceed

When Thaw arose in the Monadnock
house. where he spent the night under
guards provided by Sheriff Holman

complained because his breakfast was
not ready. He demanded that Thomas

The worlds greatest need today
is men and women who have decis--
ION Of character. Oh the contempt
we feel for the man CD who has no
opinion of his own; who is influenc-
ed by public sentimental reed
shaken by the wind. The world
wants men who will stand in all
the grandeur of their manly dignity
and raise the moral standard to a
higher, hOlier atmosphere, where
vice cannot thrive. Young man,
set your mark high" No ideal is
too lofty for your aspirations. Have
courage to do the right in the face
of all opposition, and you are every
inch a hero. The world wants true,
noble hearted, wOnIanly women,
who by their sweet influence and
hallOwed presence, will be as guar
dian angels to the weak and erring
Such a being can no more be con-
tamiHated by evil surroundings
than the ray Of sunlight which
liehtens up the rison cell. Oh,
women, thy mission is a high and
holy one! Thy influence reaches
out into eternity. If faithful to duty
the living will love and bless thee;
the dying, to whose wants thou dost
minister, will carry the impress of
thy loved features into paradise. Go
forth to duty with unfaltering trust
in God.-LaBeIle Star.

The following formula of popular
weather signs was adopted by the
Farmers Club of the American In

When the temperature falls
suddenly there is a storm forming
south of you.
2.-When the temperature rises
suddenly there is a storm forming
north of you.
3.-The wind always blows from
a region of fair weather toward a
region where a storm is forming.
