Letter to His Wife.
Patched together the letter said:
ITO My Dear Wife: I see plainly
the predicament I have got myself
in and the humiliation I have brought
you. But, dear, you know the cause
for it all-the cursed whisky and
weak mind Well, l want to say that
| feel this terribly, but that does no
good, and the deed has been com
mitted
Nov, let me give you little ad
vice: shun that cursed stuff, not only
whisky but beer and wine-it is
thousand times worse.
"You are a good woman and you
can have bright future if you take
the advice I am giving you. Had
taken your advice years ago things
would be different at the present and
this terrible trouble would never have
occurred But it is done now. and
can't be undone.
Had Broken Her Heart
All l ask of you is be a good girl
from now on. You know how I have
broken yours and mothers hearts,
SO there is only one way out of it. |
am going to take it before it is too
late.
"You won't have that terrible
weight on your neck that you have
had since | met you. Now, don't
worry about me, for l have done
enough dirt in my life, so let me pay
the penalty.
"Well, darling, may God bless you
and watch over you forevermore, but
out on that cursed thing. You can
see how it got me in recent years, and
it will do the same thing with any
one that falls for it."

blood poisoning as a result of having
his arm gnawed Ivy a pig.

seriously burned while trying TO save
the child's life. The mother at the
present time is in a hysterical condi-
ton owing to the injuries sustained by

The eighth annual picnic of the
Dodge Manufacturing company will
this year be held at home, and the
date has been set for Saturday, Aug.
u.s. This will be the first occasion of
the annual celebration taking place in

cell anything ever previously at
tempted by this live organization. a
committee from the Dodge company
consisting of Messrs. w ]. CHESHIRE,
George c. Shobe and G. r. TdOw
bridge met with Mayor r w. Gaylor,
|C. L. Ostrander, president of the Bust
ness Mems association, and F. M. Bar
rows, president of the Chamber of
Progress, in the mayors quarters at
the city hall Thursday afternoon and
laid their plans before these gentle
men. 1t was impressed upon the Of
ficials that the Dodge company was
desirious of staying at home this
year and giving Mishawakans the
benefits which are likely to accure
from such a celebration. II costs the
company a considerable sum of mon
ey annually TO pull of its picnic which
is usually attended by over 1000 en-
ployes and their families. The Dodge
committee impressed the representa-
tives of the city that it was the in
tentiOn to make this years celebra-
ton an ideal one, and with the fact
that it would be a big boost for the
city. The event will be held all over
town, and there will be free attrac-
tiOns, paid attractions and vaudeville
in Battell park during the afternoon.
There will also be an elaborate chill
dren's pageant during the forenoon,
and in the evening a fete de mutt will
bring to a close one of the biggest
days fun and frolic ever held here.
The Examinations will be on a most
generous and spectacular scale, and a
river pageant, featured with abundance
of fireworks will add to the tout en-
semble. The program will start in the
morning and there will be something
doing every minute of the day and
night. The city will gaily bedeck itself
for the occasion, and the merchants
will lend their cooperation to the
Dodge people towards making a big
success of the picnic. The attrac
lions it was promised the city of
ficials would be clean in every respect
while of such a nature as to prove big
drawing cards. Mayor Gaylor and the
two officials of the business associa-
tons endorsed the idea, the former
promising to hand over to the Dodge
company the keys of the city for the
occasion. The picnic committee will
Immediately get busy on the program.
