st. Paul, September 30-A girl
''hcbo," who ran away from home,
donned mems clothes and beat her
way in box cars to st. Paul, was
arraigned in police court today.
The lure, of adventure in the big
city and a desire to escape the drudg.
cry of farm work we're the reasons
given by the eighteen-year-old girl

She said her name was Mamie
Nutting, and that her parents lived
near Mankato.
She refused to tell her parents

go back to the farm.
She was arrested near the Burling-
ton yards and charged with vag-
rancy. When arrested she wore a
dress which she today said she had
taken from home In which she had
been harbored as a farm laborer and
Which she left early in the morning
before the family got up.

not prevent anybody from vot-
ing. So, come out and vote
and roll up a big total for the
bonds so the state will take
them without question. II would
be hard just now to sell even
five per cent bonds at par on
the regular market.
The bond election day Is to-
morrow, October I. The polls
will be open from six In the
morning to nine In the evening.
No patriotic citizen will neglect
to cast a ballot for the bonds.

BUY THE BALE OF GOODS.
Unique Suggestion That Comes Gu,
Of New York City.
Tsp~cinl to The Free Press. ]

m Especial to The Free Press.1
New York, September 30.-Much
interest has been shown In the local
rutton goods market in the sugges-
tion that the buy bale of cotton"
movement be abandoned In favor of
a similar movement to buy a bale of
cotton yarn or bale OF gray goods
at current prices. The growers would
ultimately benefit just as much, and
IL would give work to the men and
women who spin the yarn or make
the gray fabrics. II Is also contended
there Is a strong possibility OF high
er yarn and cloth prices In the fu-
ttre, and the buyer would stand to
gain more from his investment The
Idea is thought to be good one; it's
ultimate value to the cotton grower
being limited only by the amount OF
yarns and gray goods In stock at
this time. =

GOT TOGETHER AT BAD TIME
Colonel Thought He Was Being Made
Fun Of by Men Whose Names
Were Peculiar.

During the days following the close
OF the Civil war the South was under
military government, and to conduct
matters properly the Union officials
found that they had many difficult du-
ties. In W%arrenton, Va, the colonel
commanding the regiment stationed
there decided that 1t would be well to
take a census Of all male citizens. And
with this end In view the men Of the
village were ordered on a certain day
to report their names, ages and other
data.
This colonel was a quick-tempered
man and would get very angry at the
least imaginary disrespect, so the citi.
zens determined to carry the thing
through smoothly. But, unfortunately
for the peace Of mind Of the colonel,
he town had several men who pos.
sessed the names Of animals.
A Mr.. Lyon kept a restaurant, a
Mr.. Hare ran a barroom, MI. Bear car
ried on a dry goods store, while Mr..
Coon was an a~uctioneer. These we're
the actual names Of real citizens of
the town, and, strange to say, all hap
pened to arrive at the polls at the
same time.
What is your manner" asked the
clerk of the first conner.
Bear" was the reply, and down
wen Bear"
Your name, sir" was demanded of
the second.
Lyon" came the response. And
Lyon was written.
Name, SIR" for the third man.
Coon" was the answer. The col.
onel began to fret about like a bee in
a bottle. He thought the men were
making game Of him, but he managed
to keep his temper in hand.
Name, SIR" came for a fourth time
from the clerk.
Hare" replied the last man. But
this was more than the now angry col.
onel could stand. He jumped to his
feet, his face blazing with anger at
what he thought was a trick, and,
shaking his fist in the astonished faces
OF the four men, Numbered put:
This thing has gone far enough. II
any Of you men try again to palm of
on me any more Of your blasted ami.
mails, l will slap the whole bunch Of
you in jail" Y
So the four men departed, sadly re.
fecting that after all, in spite OF
Shakespeare, there is something In q

USURY Law NEEDED

Nevada is in need Of a usury law.
We have a legal rate of interest,
which is seven per cent, but there
is nothing in the law limiting the
amount of interest that may be
collected on contract. In this re-
spect Nevada stands with but six
other states: California, Colorado,
Maine, massachusetts,, Montana and
Rhode Island, and MASSACHUSETTS,
has some legislation in case of
loans less than $1,000. All the
other states denounce usury on
their statute bouks. Most of them
provide penalties recoverable in
civil suits and in Rhode Island fine
and imprisonment r provided for.
There may have been a time in
the early history of this state when
it was imprarticable to limit the
amount Of interest to he contracted
for. Owing to the p%recarious nat
ure Of security and the absence of
thoroughly organized government,
some laxity " as permitted in view
of the great risk Of losing the prin-
cipal as we'll as the interest. But
those times are gone. 1t is no cred
it to q state when a debtor in his
necessity must contract tn pay IL
and Is per cent interest, while at
the same time furnishing ample
security. The absence Of a limita-
tion on interest has the effect of
encouraging advances in interest
charges rather than reductions. 1t
is no encouragement to capital to
know that there are no usury laws
here" Journal.

DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY

When duty calls, some people al.

Many a man Is so skeptical that he
wouldn't believe his own conscience.

deserves to reap a grass widow.
The respondent lover shouldn't lose
heart. Let the successful lover lose

There is quite q difference between
a close friend and a close-mouthed
one.
When we speak Of a delicate situa.
ton we generally mean an indelicate
one.
How can there be safety in num-
bers when too many cooks spoil the
broth?
Probably the reason discretion Is
the better part Of valor Ia because It
can u foster.
Experience is the best school, but
some Of US never get beyond the
kindergarten stage.
1t Is quite possible that the world Is
happier because one-half doesn't know
