"Get down to business" finished Mr..
Grady briskly. "Well, that's what we're
here for. I'm looking after Clarice's in
%terests, of course. We've just come from
a lawyer. Nothing's been done yet-"
Not yet, but soon," added Miss Lam
bert, with an encouraging smile at the
playwright.
"He say all we need to do is to go
through the same old routine. On or
about the first of last January, and so
forth, you made a special promise to mar
ry Miss Lambert ,-Clarice, here,-and
since then she's been ready, and willing,
and so forth. We're moderate, too.
Clarice thinks it's hurt her fifteen thou
sand dollars worth"
THAT is moderate smiled Miss Lam
bert. Mrs. Warren Jefferson's good for
five hundred a week on the name alone.

"Ill admit, of course, that on New Years
eve | had a table in a certain restaurant,
and that Miss Lambert and some other
people | know were at the next. And I'll
admit that I've known her for several
years. because she's been in several of my
productions. And I'll admit that it was
a happy evening. But the rest of it"
"Seven witnesses said Miss Lambert
promptly. And it doesn't need to be in
writing, you know, if there's witnesses"
Its perfectly possible, said jefferson,
"that on New Years eve l may have said
something foolish. One generally does.
But on New Years day.
"That won't do" they said in chorus.
"Itll hare to dol" said jefferson.
The visitors exchanged glances.

"No-it's mine!"
She shook her head.

of the names he had WINGED; then, pulling
himself together and forcing to his lips a
smile that she didn't like, he laughed
not the laugh she had learned to await,
and to carry in her consciousness through
the hours that separated them, but the
laugh of the villain in the melodrama.

He was still smiling cynically as she
collected her notes of the morning and
disappeared. The door closed softly.
From the living-room jefferson said:
"Come I'M"
THOSE who came were a girl, tall and
= vivacious, confident in her good looks,
which had yet three or four years to run,
and in her clothes, of a style that had al
ready run not more than a week; and a
man who both in garb and in facial lines
was a product of Broadway, and Broad

Jefferson regarding them stiffly, they
glanced at each other with mutual com
prehension, smiled, sat down, and mem
toned the temperature.

"How can ANSWER that"
"By the truth"
Don't you think" she faltered, that

without keeping me here when | want to
go?"
jefferson swung himself around and
proceeded gingerly to the hall door, which
he opened. On returning, he selected the
swivel-chair, which was separated from
Miss Cloud by the full width of the
room.
"Now," he said, "you can either make
a dash for the hall, and get there before
can possibly stop you; or you can scream
and the elevator-man would be up here
at the first bleat. If you want to go"
He waited until the last available in
slant before he said quietly: Miss
Cloud!" She turned her head. He was
smiling at her.
"If I'd Deer that sort of man. he COM
mented, "would l act like this"
Puzzled, uncertain, she stared at him
earnestly.
"But-you said ="
"For the ninety-ninth time apologize!

and take some dittation. And, unless

ment-have been a desirable one-other-

"Oh, yes!"
Jefferson faced around to the desk and
found a fresh cigar.
"Im going to light this, he said. "Two
minutes from now I'll be ready to start

' "I-really-shouldn't, said Miss Cloud.
TO prove that she shouldn't, she went
after a long scrutiny of Jefferson's back,
and a vivid recollection of his expression
slowly, and slower yet, to the table.

Gagged, restless, and brilliant; Miss Cloud

DR.. Williamson had explained it in his
Scientific Theory of Causation," the
natural consequence naturally occurred.
And they had begun with a misunder-
standing, which is just a little more eff
cacious than anything else as q basis for
acquaintanceship.

more than that of the latter.
If you will pardon another refer
ence to our herd, l may say that the
COW already mentioned above, gave
during the month of December last,
3025 lbs. of milk, which at $1.95 per
hundred amounted to $5S.98. By ac-
tual weight she received from II to
18 lbs. of grain per day. Actual cost
of feed including 80 lbs. of ensilage at
$4.00 per ton, 10 lbs alfalfa hay at
$500 and a bushel of beets at 25
cents, was "a cents per day or $19.84
per month, leaving profit of $39.38.
Therefore, | am convinced, to get the
highest possible returns one must feed
literally. 1t will also pay to buy oil
meal or other concentrates to supple
ment home grown feeds.
These are the questions of primary
Importance. l will briefly mention
few of secondary Importance in the
general care of herd.
Does it pay to feed grain to dry
cows? We believe it does. During
this period the COW is nourishing q
growing calf and storing up surplus
! flesh to withstand the drain of a
heavy flow of milk later on. A good
COW will grow poor enough giving sc
to 80 lbs. of milk per day.
Does it pay to feed grain to calves
and heifers? 1t most assuredly does

SUBSCRIPTION LAWS.

Most readers of newspapers are not
familiar with the laws governing sub
scriptions.
Here are the decisions of the Unit
ed States court on the subject:
Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.
eff the subscribers order a discon-
tinuance of their publication the pub
Usher may continue to send them until
all dues are paid.
IF the subscriber refuses to take
periodicals. from the post office to
which they are directed he is respon-
sible until he has settled his bill and
ordered the paper discontinued.
eff subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and
papers are sent to his former address,
the subscriber is held responsible.
"The courts nave held that refusing
to take periodicals from the post office
or removing and leaving them uncall-
ed for is prima facie evidence of in
tention to defraud.
eff subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not wish to con-
tinue taking it, otherwise the sub
scriber is responsible until express no
tice with payment of all arrearage is
sent to the publisher"

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The Great American -EmancipatOr of American Slaves
Preserver of The Union-A Character Which Com
bined Real Greatness and Real Goodness-Born
February 18th, 1909 -Assassinated April 14th
1865 His Memory Abides In The Hearts
Of His Countrymen

Among the days that are kept sacr-
ed in the hearts of all true Ameri-
cans is the twelfth day of February,
the birthday of the great American,
Abraham Lincoln. AS a nation the
least we can do, in view of his great
service to his country and for this
government, is to keep ever alive the
memory of this man who deserves to
be called "The First Great American" /"
But in doing this we do more than
pay a tribute to the memory of a
great and good man who was and is
no more; we honor ourselves, and
more than this, we set before this and
oncoming generations the example
and influence of character whose
standard of true nobility and goodness
has not been exceeded among men in
the history of the race save only by
the character of the Perfect One. The
Man of Galilee.
Abraham Lincoln is purely an
American product; he was born in the
State of Kentucky when Kentucky was
a pioneer state; he lived, as boy and
man, the hard and needy life of a
backwoodsman, farmer, a river
boatman, and finally, by his own ef-
forts at self education, of an active,
respected, influential citizen in the
half organized and manifold inter-
ests of a new and energetic commun-
ity. 1t is matter worthy of careful
consideration and note that from his
boyhood up he lived in direct and
vigorous contact with men and
things, not, as in our own times the
majority of our young men have the
privilege of living, with words and
theories. From this vigorous contact
with men and things Abraham Lin
coin gained those moral convictions
and intellectual opinions which help
ed to make that character by which he
was and is known among men; that
character, which as Phillips. Brooks
said, 'sis the most distinctive posses
sion of the best American Nature
1t is this character of Lincoln's
which we wish to hold up before oul
readers; the things that he did, the
life he lived and even the manner OF
death he died are all well known anC
have been often retold. That charac.
ter possesses an almost indescribable
quality which may perhaps be best
known as clearness or truth and it ap.
pears in the physical structure al
health, in the moral constitution a.
honesty, in the mental structure as
sagacity, and in active life as prac
ticalness.

PROGRESS
Boosters Club Get Several Matters
Under Way-Small Attendance But
Plenty of Action At Regular Meet
ing Last Monday Evening-Health
Exhibit for WauseOn.

Of the 95 members of the Boosters
Club, less than 20 gathered in the
T. & I. Hall last Monday evening for
the regular February meeting, of
course there are a good many of the
members who are out of town, few
could not be present on account of
other engagements and many more
who just simply forgot about it.
But Notwithstanding the rather
small attendance those who were there
found that events do not wait on the
laggard and finding something to do
doing it. Vice President Howe pre-
sided at the meeting and presented as
the first matter for the action of the
club, the request made at called
meeting of the club, held Friday jan
uary 29th, by Messrs. Mcnamara,
Warren and Dombaugh, General Pas
senger agents of the Wabash and
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railroads, asking for an expression of
the club favoring the raising of the
rate of passenger fares on steam
roads in Ohio, from 2 to 2h cents per
mile. This latter rate is the rate set
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for all interstate passenger
traffic, but the rate designated by
law to be charged within the states
of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illi-
nois is cents per mile Of course this
intrastate rate is not controlled by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The facts and figures set before
the Interstate Commission showed
that the railroads were only making
enough from their passenger service
to pay one and seven tenths per cent
upon the actual capital invested in
that service. The question was dis
cussed by the club and a resolution
adopted favoring the 21a cent rate;
copies of the resolution will be sent
to the senator and representative
from this district.
The club was advised that through
the efforts of Mr.. Reighard the State
Public Health Exhibit had been Sc
cured for Wauseon on the dates of
March End to 5th. The club was ask
ed to guarantee the expenses of this
exhibit which is to be given free of
charge. The club unanimously voted

NEW MOATAUk CLUB
Surprise and Please Their Friends At
Princess Theatre Friday Night-Mr.
Fred Seymour of Toledo, Favors
His Home Town-Unsuspected Tai
ent.

The large audience that greeted The
New Montauk Club Fun Makers at
the Princess last Friday evening were
very pleasantly surprised by the most
excellent entertainment furnished by
the young men of the club. The
whole performance was under the
management of Walter Caddell, and
Mr.. Caddell certainly demonstrated
beyond the possibility of a doubt his
ability as manager of theatricals and
as WELL, his ability as song artist.
Walter is a prince of good fellows and
he certainly brought out hitherto un-
suspected talent which of course has
long been latent in the New Montauk
club. There was acting-real acting
by actors-real live actors, and these
same actors have been going in and
coming out Tor vice versa )-among
us 10 these many years and the vast
majority of Wauseonians never even
suspected the talent which lay hidden
beneath their-hats; it remained fol
Walter to discover this gem of talent
and bring it out, rescue it so to speak
from the fate of blushing unseen
and wasting its fragrance on the
desert air. And he did it, to the de-
light and pleasure of the audience
that filed the Princess Theatre last
Friday evening.
The best part of the entertainment
perhaps was the music and, in all ser.
iousness, one might travel far and pay
more and then not find better musi-
cal program than was put on at the
Princess last Friday evening. The
Mandolin club presented some fine
selections rendered in truly artist,
manner. Mr.. Gordon Turnbull o1
Swanton must be acknowledged as {
violinist Of extraordinary ability; hil
numbers were exceptionally well rem
dered and they certainly were ap
preciated. But the feature of tn,
evening which was perhaps the mos
enjoyed by the people of Wauseon
was the singing of Mr.. Fred Seymour
of Toledo. Mr.. Seymour, who was ;
Wauseon boy, has won place as ;
musician and song writer of note, b.
his own hard work and merit. MI
Seymour is a busy man and his tim
is taken up by engagements in tn
city, but he devoted the evening to tn
service of his former associates in tn
Montauk Club and the pleasure of oil
friends and neighbors in Wauseor
Mr.. Seymour's voice is of a yer,
pleasing quality and the audience KEEP
him busy singing his own and othe
songs that have recently made sue
cessful hits.
We hope that the New Montaul
Club will be moved to repeat the en-
tertaining stunt in the near future
at any rate we want the boys to knoy
that their efforts were appreciated.
