propped up with pillows on white cot
in a private ward OF Lebanon Hospital

laid aside copy OF the Green Book, a

and looked up through her spectacles
with the falntes; flicker OF her dark

a steady gaze 10 indonte that she rec

Mrs. Walters was queried in regard to
her health.
The dark eyes looked steadily for a
moment and then the lips. rather vide
and delicate. with downward droop,

clear and cold. We're:
You had better ask the doctors about

Calmly she lifted the magazine. in which
she had been reading a light fiction story,
and turned her eyes to the pages. on
the pillow beside her lay another fiction

Increased Acreage SoMn

Five per cent more oats, three per
cent more barley, and one and a
third per cent more wheat sown in
Hand county this spring than last. is
the declaration of local elevator
men. They obtain their estimate
from thirty farmers scattered over
the county. The late season may
lessen the corn acreage a trifle, but
it Is too early to determine that. as
some kinds of corn may be planted
here as late as the middle of June.

Justice Hughes Not a Candidate

What is purported to be an au-
thoritatiVe statement was published
in Washington papers recently de.
claring that Justice Charles Hughes
would not be a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for president.
Under existing conditions he was
thought by many ID be the most
available man among those mention
ed for the honor. His decision Is
doubtless a wise one from a personal
standpoint. He holds a position on
the supreme bench which is only
secona> to that of president. 1t is
removed from the turmoil and un-
certaintles of politics, and he may
hold it for life 1t is said that
President Taft would have prefer
red a like position instead of the
presidency. 1t was also said at the
time that President Taft appointed
Mr. hughes to the supreme bench TO
get a strong opponent out the wav
for his own denomination. How
ever, politics Is one of the most
peculiar and eccentric things the
human family cntertains itself with.
A condition which appears to be ex-
actiy right for a certain individual
one year may be entirely changed
the next. Likewise a man scarcely
considered today may be the one
individual to fit the conditions and
times a year later. This is readily
corroborated by the history of both
the old parties. President Wilson,
himself unknown to the political
world, quickly shllved men like
BRYAN, Clark and Underwood.
President HAYES beat out men like
Blaine and Conkling, and President
Garfield became a successful candi-
date " night. against such prom
lnent men as Grant, Blame and
Sherman.

EMBEZZLE N
EXPRESS CO.. SAYS
Former Hand County Man in
Trouble

Misplaced confidence by Richard
l.. Wood, formerly agent for the
Adams Express company here. has
resulted in his arrest on a charge of
embezzlement to the amount of
$981.O3.
Mr. Wood, who has been out on his
claim west of the river since late in
March, returned to the city yester-
day, heard that he was wanted on
this charge and walked into the
states attorneys office where he
gave himself up. He will be given
a preliminary hearing probably to-
day.
Mr. Wood was IN the service of the
Adams Express company for 26 years
all but the last four OF five years of
which time he was employed in the
Chicago office
The officials of the company stated
while here last week that this was
more a technical than a criminal
charge, as 1t was understood by them
that Mr. Woods defalcation had ie-
suited ia his allowing a certain mer-
chant of this city to take out C. O.
u. packages without collecting for
them. This is Mr. Woods defense
likewise Aberdeen American.
The above refers to Dick" Woods

near Howell. If memory is not at
