On the way to the hotel. after they
had left the judges house. Broadway
tried to tell Bob Wallace what. in.
deed, was the matter with him. but
could not. for he had not the least
idea

Yes. and pass II to my children"

Bob. It's cinch. But let me tell

success.
Wallace was shrewd young man.

has driven you insaneg" he asked.
I'm thinking about Jonesville. My
grandfather built this town"
Well. he made a blamed bad Job
OF II. Why didn't he build a place n

he was about it7"
And my father kept II going"
We'll, he didn't keep II going very
fast"
And now I've got to keep my faith
with It. Il is a sacred duty. I must
not abandon IT,"
Say" said Wallace, in disgust.
Where did you get that stuffl Have
you gone out and tried to get decent
drink here? This town ought to be
abandoned. II ought to be put out
OF its misery"
The trust would close the plant and
ruin all these people"
You'd think they we're first cousins.

Bob" Broadway chided in a soft
and earnest voice. they are far more
tian that; far, far more than that.
They are charges placed by Providence
in the care OF the Jones family. And,
Bob, I'm the last OF the Joneses."

Il mean every word OF IT, There are

SPOOKS IN HOUSE2
NO, MERELY RATS
Rock Island Owner Does Some
Sleuthing and Prevents
Tenant From Moving.

A story is being told in connection
with the solving of the mystery OF a
certain house in the city, which was
alleged to have been haunted. The
owner went to the house one morning
for the purpose of collecting the rent.
When the woman tenant handed
him the kopecks for the rent she quiet
ly informed him that she intended to
move from the abode as soon as pos
sible. In surprise the owner asked
her why.
"Sh-h-h" said she, "can you keep a
secret? This house is haunted

you're Just superstitious. that's all"
"Oh, no." said she, leach evening
we hear a noise similar to that OF a
child bouncing a rubber ball on the
floor. I'm not able TO sleep and will
so you have my notice; / am going TO
move"
The house owner pondered awhile.
scratched his head and finally queried,
where do these mysterious noises
seem to come from?
He was informed that IL was from
the steps that led to the cellar. So
he mustered up courgae and proceeded
to the spot, the lady OF the house
staying behind. as she was afraid OF
the spooks. On the top OF the steps
he noticed q peck measure full OF
small apples and as he reached the
bottom OF the steps he saw several
more apples lying on the floor OF the
cellar.
A brilliant idea occurred to him and
he hid quietly behind barrel. About
Ten minutes passed and there had not
been even a whisper. Presently his
patience was rewarded.

Makes Patriotic Appeal to School Children

General e. NJ. Wilcox, who spoke to
500 pupils at the Lincoln school, CIV
ing the annual soldiers address, said:
Another year has rolled around and
once more we have met to do honor
to those who gave up their lives to
preserve intact the union of States.
The most of you children do not COM
prehend what hardships were endured
by these old battle SCARED veterans
that this union might be preserved to
our children and our children's chill
dren. Then it is quite fitting on this
occasion to impress on your minds the
necessity of being loyal to our coun-
try and our flag, for it means much to
us as a country to stand together as
unit for the principles that have cost
so much in blood and treasure.
"These old, bent forms were once
young as you are now but many OF
them did not have the advantages that
you have and enjoy and brought about
through their trials and hardships.
The old veterans are fast passing
away and by next year many who are
living today will have passed away and
their last roll call been answered and
the place that now knows them will
know them no more. But they should
live in your memories on account of
their past deeds of valor They should
live in your memory for what they
have accomplished for the rising gen.
GRAFTON. We are nearing Decoration
day. Children, cover their graves over
with beautiful flowers in memory of
their heroic deeds and each succeed
ing year make it your duty and your
