''Was your business successful" l
asked Dick when we got home from
Eliene's.
What business?" was Dicks sur
prised question.
why, the business that took you
away this evening"
Dick, who had been moody all the
way home, looked nonplussed for a
moment, and then answered in a
rather forced manner, Eyes, very sue
cessful"
Have you seen Eleanor Fairlow
lately?" I asked, more to make con-
versation tina nanything else, for
Dick had only answered my question.
Dick looked at me rather queerly
and then countered, mo, have your"
'T have not seen her since l left
the hospital think I'll call her up
tomorrow and ask her to spend her
next time off with U.S."
Dick grunted, and then he turned
around and put his arms around me.

tonight" he said rather wistfully.
''You are certainly the dearest wo-
man 1 have ever known. Do you
know, Margie, it gave me little
twinge to see you dancing so hap
PLY even with old Jim. You were
much the best looking woman at
Eiene's tonight, and as l watched
you with Jim, could not help think
ing that he was perhaps more suited
to you than l."
Don't say that, Dick. No one is
more suited to me than you. Why,
dear, don't you realize that we have
been married five years."
Long enough for you to get used
to my rough ways or tired Of them"

something that have learned in the
last five years as your wife"
What have you learned, dear,
something terrible presume about
men in general and me in particu-
lar"
mo, dear, I have not learned any
more about you than I have about
myself, but l have found out in my
five years of married life that most
men who are married to good women
women who from a sense Of their
husbands honor or respect for them
selves decline to accept any attention
from men other than their husbands,
are supposed by those same hUs-
bands to be devoid of the natural in
cinations which make the society Of
men the most interesting society in
the world to women"
But, my dear Margie, don't you
have a good time with your own sex?
Men can have the bulliest time pos
sible with each other"
Eyes, of course I can, but I don't
want to flock with women all the
time. I'd like to ask you if, when you
are out with the boys, as you call it,
there is ever a time that some refer
ence to women does not enter into
the conversation, and if you always
feel that you must fOregO the society
of other women because you have a
wife at homer"

he is a day, and who has a comfort

glee that the day before he had taken

The purpose Of this chapel-car is
missionary work for the Italian pope.
The railroads haul it over the
country free of charge.
1t is Catholic church on wheels.
The priests are trying to convert
Americans to paganiSm.
In this car, the priests go through
all the monkey motions that they use
in their churches, including Of course
the changing Of bread and wine into
the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ.
The priests buy none but the finest
wines; therefore it is a superfine
quality Of blood they drink.
The laymen are not allowed to
quaff any of this Wine-blOod.
If the Catholic laity were allowed
to empty the cup, the priests might
not be so very particular about the
quality of the wine.
The laity use the bread only; and
the priests never seem to bother
about the quality of the -four.

The evidence that Frank Park
acted from some secret, unworthy
motive is proved by the fact that he
suddenly Topped.
He had twice voted with Congress-
man John Burnett and the Demo
cratic majority, to put some limits
on this torrent of Roman Catholic
illiterate and pauper immigration.
He even voted to override Taft's
veto of the bill when it passed before.
But when Wilson obeyed Tumulty
and the Catholics, just as Taft had
done, Park Topped.
Why?
TIE bill had not changed, the situa-
ton had not changed, the arguments
for and against had not changed.
Why did Park and Bartlett
change?
Let them explain it, if they can.

CONGRESSMAN FRANK PARK BE-
TRAYED HIS PEOPLE ON THE
IMMIGRATION BILL.

Dear Sir: OUCH oh! You have
stepped on my toe, and oh how it
does hurt for me to have to get on
my knees and blurt out an apology
to my friends in the Second Congress
sional district for the active interest
I took in Judge Frank Parks elec>
ton. My slogan in that fight was
the great human sympathy he had
always shown for the common peO-
pie. | went into the newspapers,
spent my own money on him and
freely made the hardest fight of my
life for his success, because l honest
ly thought he was the best man for
the place. Was [ mistaken, and did
| lie to the people? If so, turn on
your flash light and show him up
more fully, and if l made a mistake
in supporting him I will apologize to
my friends and make a desperate
effort to undo the wrong. You are
my doctor, and | am ready to swal-
low your medicine, for there is no
man in the South as we'll qualified
and able to keep up with the records
of our public officials as you are.
This being true, your political pre-
scriptiOns are properly compounded
and filled ready for use. But great
God, look at the fools that won't
swallow the medicines they are
choked, gagged and blind-folded by
our great newspapers until they don't
know what remedy to take for relief,
but relief must come and come soon,
for we are sick unto death, and made
sick by the commercialized Office
holders, moneyed power and present
credit system. Look at the present
indebtedness of our country and it's
ability to pay it.
First, look at the indebtedness of
the farmers; second, look at the in
debtedness of our little city govern
ments on up to the largest. Third,
look at the Indebtedness of our
county governments, State govern
ments, and national governments,
add the sum total and see where we
are at, and tell us what in the devil
to do. But | will drop back to Judge
Park and say, Mr. Watson, if you
can show and prove that he is the
wrong man for the place it will be
no trouble to put him out next time
and put Judge E. e. Cox Of Camilla
in his place. Please let us hear more
about Judge Park in your next
weeks issue, as 1 am deeply inter
ested in this natter Enclosed you
will find part Of an editorial clipping
from my bright little pet newspaper,
the Moultrie Observer. II possible,
please publish with your editorial
criticism of the same, for it looks
good to me.

QUICK, D|OGENES!
There's an Honest Man in Middle

Here's the Proof

William Shaner is a man of his
word.
Burgess Fred Wigfeld, Chief of Po-
lice H. P. Longnaker and Borough
Secretary C. P. Feidt, will all vouch
for that.
And this is why:
Shaner comes from Middletown and
is painter. he says. For months, he
declared, he was out OF work until
last week when he secured employ
ment in Steelton. And he thought he'd
just celebrate little when he drew his
first pay. SO he looked upon the wine
when it was red. the police say.
He fell into the hands of Chief of
Police Longnaker, who took him be-
fore Burgess Wigheld to answer dis
orderly conduct charge.
Repentant. the painter told story
of his wife and daughter, whom he
says. are dependant upon him: He
was without money, he declared. and
asked the burgess to trust him TO
return and pay the IS fine and costs
that were imposed.
"I'll take your word" said the bur
CESS, as he released him from GUS

WIFE BIT HIM. HIT
HIM, CUFFED HIM
Dashes Dishes Over His Head
and Swats Him With
a Lamp

In the Offices of Steelton 'squires
from time to time many a tales been
told of what happens when n neglect
ful husband comes home late o'nights
to meet his fearful, demonstrating wife.
But this Is the story of what hap
pened when Mrs. Charles CLANCY, "a
Lochiel Row, wife of Charles CLANCY,
came home.
1t was one evening last week. ac-
cording to the story Charles Chaney.
the husband, told the squire between
the threatening Interruptions OF his
huxom spouse, that he was sitting at
the supper table, patiently awaiting
the return of Mrs. Chaney.
That he had been waiting a long,
long time was evident, he says, be-
cause he had lighted lamp and plac-
ed it in the center of the table. Final
ly Mrs. CLANCY returned. removed her
raps and sat down to the delayed
evening meal.
Timidly. the husband says, he re-
monstrated at her long absence and
plead with her to put an end to her
frequent unexplained visits away from
the house. In silence, he related, his
wife listened.
Mistaking her silence for repent
ance, CLANCY told the squire, his eN-
postulations grew stronger and he de-
manded to be treated as a good, faith
full husband should be treated
But CLANCY discovered his mistake
AFTER the lamp had inflicted deep
cash in his forehead. he declared. and
AFTER most of the supper dishes had
been shattered in pieces within inches
OF his head. and AFTER his repent
ant spouse had bit him in both arms.
To the office of Squire Gardner
CLANCY limped to tell the tale of his
little domestic tragedy, and to appeal
for protection. After Detective l. y.

had rounded up the militant spouse
she was arraigned before Squire Gard
ner.
The husband appeared against her
much resembling a battle-scarred vet
eran of the wars.
And Squire Gardner sympathized

commended that the commission be

they are a menace to life and prop

The detail Of the report shows that
