4 GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Soda Springs Chieftian offers
in the way OF a suggestion. plan
that has heretofore been talked OF In
jerome, but has never been followed
up with any tangible results 1t says:
Why do not the business men OF
every country town see to it that a
room is provided for the farmers
wives who come in to do their shop
ping and marketing? Why not offer
them a place to rest and to care for
their babies and little children, while
they are waiting for their husbands
TO finish their errands and their al
most endless discussions OF the wea-
ther. the crops and politics? We
feel sorry for the woman. with per-
haps two or three tired, cross chill
dren clinging to her skirts. who ha.
to sit in some store where she and
her little brood are sadly in the way
or stand on the street corner with her
baby and her bundles until she is
ready to drop from fatigue.
How easy II would be to secure a
room. say in the rear OF store or
an office. put in rug or two. plain
couch. some rocking chairs and low
chairs for the children. some toilet
conveniences, a mirror and plain
cheap curtains. A small contribu-
ton from each merchant in the town
would pay the running expenses,
which would consist principally OF
the rent, heat during the winter, and
the pay of the care taker.
In every town where these rest
rooms have been established they
have been found profitable for the
merchants woman is more easil!

she has had a chance to rest little
from her trip into town, to fresher
herself from the dust or spattering'

coax It TO take nap, with an olde'
child to watch over It, while she cal
do her shopping with hands and min'

Furthermore. the rest room pro

from the country they become ac

charged with picking pockets, from
two years in the penitentiary. Dur

On the third trial Durkin VAS con-

defined larceny as "the wrongful or
fraudulent taking or carrying away by
any person OF the personal property
OF another" The definition was
copied from Patison's Instructions In
Criminal Cases, long held as author

While preparing the motion for a
new trial, the defendants counsel
looked up the citation and found the
statute said the wrongful or fraud
