Miss Country Store Forum.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo Blade.
Something was lost, and 1t was no little
thing, when the debatcrs around the stove
In the country grocery store ceased to set
tie the affairs Of the nation.
It was a custom that greatly tfckled the
professional humorists. The stage bur-
lesqued it. The Q writer's made sport
of 1t, Fiction writer's dressed 1t in dia-
lect and presented 1t to readers as the
absurdest practice of which Americans
were guilty. It has been laughed wellnigh
out of existence.
There came to the evening debate the
farmer who all day at the plow had been
thinking. The village carpenter brought
the thoughts that had been maturing
while he welded saw and hammer. The
point, the school teacher from the schol-
sstic. The local minister cited the scrip
lures and often there was some law stu
dent ready to recite the statutes glibly IL
not particularly to the point.
Tho results of discussion may have been
Ridiculous more often than not. But al
ways hey represented the crystalIized
public opinion of the section. We nave
nothing now that quite takes its place.
Editors speak for themselves. Politicians
lave their own interests at heart. The
flood of kilograms which poured in on the
president in the last few days was the
opinions Of the individuals who wrote the
messages, But In Lincoln's day, such teIe-
grams would hav been the mobilized
opinions of the countryside and the com
munities whence they came.
Laughter has destroyed an institution
which, at such a time as this, would be
beyond price.

MANY MEN ACT LIKE THIS
Old Bill shiftIess Has His Counter
part In Many Localities Through

"old Bill Shiftless dropped into
town last Saturday" the Osborne
Farmer reports. bill went into one
OF the stores and asked for some crepe
tissue paper. His wife had asked him
to get some SO she could make a few
little ornaments to improve the looks
OF the front room. She wanted two
colors and Bill found that he would
have to take two rolls, as the mer-
chant would not cut it. They cost 10
cents a roll. Bill refused to take it,
saying it was too darn much money
to pay for such useless stuff. He then
bought a dollars worth of chewing to-
bacco and a half-dollar's worth of CT
CARS and went out to see what the
chances were for chipping In on a
consignment of Kansas City jug house
booze. Bill wants to go to the San
Francisco exposition. His trip to St.
Louis did him SO much good that he
thinks he owes it to his health to take
this trip. Mrs. Shiftless would like to

one at home to look after the Stock

every evening he would return tired
out and empty handed. Even Ada mo-

not understand the trouble. But at last
one evening q terrible thing happened.
For when h father came he said
sadly that he would have to sell dear
old Pete because his money had all

go down to some town n the father

Ada knew that her father was to a
Pete away to sell at noon the next
day, SO directly after breakfast she put
on his bride and climbed on his back.
Then with her chubby legs humping
against his sides she set out, following
a path across the mountain, winding
through the pines until they stood at
the top of a high rock. Just below was
q grassy bit of level ground hidden by
towering trees. III meant to hide her
pet so her father could not find aim.

same direction as Ada. Kicking and
knocking rocks about, he came bounc-
ing down to the bottom, then scrambled
to his feet n began to nibble the
fine grass.
But little Ada commenced to cry.
Then at the top of her voice she
screamed for her father, but no sound
came in answer from the big, silent
mountains. The u rose higher and
higher and she knew it must be dinner
time. for she was SO hungry. Then 1t
began to sink toward the west and the
shadows creep out. Just where Pete
la kicked out a big chunk Of rock
when falling, she noticed a bright re-
Election from the cliff, and as the sink
h saw long veins Of yellow that
glinted and winked at the shining rays.
Then with her little hands she has

Just then she heard a voice calling
and some one running up the path.
With q glad cry she answered back,
and in a moment her father stood at
the top Of the rock. full in the light Of
ooh, father, father!" she cried, so
delighted with her find that she for

found. It's gold-and Pete did it,"
1t took the father but a few seconds
to scramble down n clasp his little
daughter in his arms. And when she
showed him the shining yellow in he
rocks Peter had broker off and the
big place on the cliff where it glistened
in large veins. the father shouted with
JOY.
A very happy man and child they
were as they climbed home and man

Pete was not sold. And When Mr.. Bed

HAPTE XII.
THE FALL.

1t was long after 2 o'clock in the
morning when Eric, drenched by the
sea mists, stole across the lawn and let
himself into the darkened house on the
hill, through a window he had left UNI
fastened at the time Of his stealthy de-
parture several hours before. He was
faint from the horrors Of that mid
night excursion. His legs trembled be-
meath him as he crept up the stair
case and down the long hall to his
room. An impulse, grewsome enough.
caused him to pause for an instant be-
fore the closed door of Chetwynd's
room. He listened there for a moment
and then hurried on as If afraid that
the door would open in his face to re-
veal the figure. of-Chetwynd himself.
The house was as still as death it.
self. He knew that his uncle and aunt
were sleeping soundly in the big blue
room overlooking the street, in serene
ignorance Of what the morning was to
bring to them. Somehow, he had the
uncanny feeling that this was the last
night on which they would sleep
soundly and in peace.
In his own room at last, he softly
opened the loo leading to the smaller
one occupied by Mary. He could not
see her for the darkness, but in time
his heart beats subsidized SO that his
ears could detect the soft, regular
breathing Of the girl in the white bed
across the room.

SHERIFFS GUESTS
GET STEADY BOARD

The candid admission that he had
been arrested in this city years ago
and released after an investigation
had exonerated him of all completely,
probably reduced the sentence of Ra-
mon Quives l year when Superior
Judge Cole this morning pronounced
judgment on the trio of burglars who
looted the home of Sheriff Meadows
Friday night.
AT the preliminary hearing held yes
terday, j. G. Guerra and P. Sierra,
Quives' companions in crime, agreed
to enter pleas of guilty on charge
of burglary and this morning, when
interrogated by Judge Cole, they
waived further delay of entry of
judgment.
In reply to a query from the court
whether the self admitted burglars de-
sired to make any statement before
sentence was pronounced, Quives, the
only | of the trio to respond, ad-
mitted his arrest 3 years ago and
declared that he had been innocent
Of the charge and that he had beer
freed after officers had investigated
the case.
Guerra was sentenced to years
Imprisonment in Folsom and the court
imposed a similar sentence upon Ser
ra, who will serve his prison term in

Only ten business days remain be-
fore the most valuable set of prizes
ever awarded by newspaper of I'M
perial Valley will be given away, yet
the leaders for the S1,400 prize au-
tomobile, the $3.50 piano and the $55O
Seeley lot are separated by less than
the number of votes issued with one
new subscription for a year.
, The finish of the big race will Ger
tainly be close and exciting. Nc one
can tell which of the candidates will
win the three chief prizes. There are
all sorts of wild rumors afloat. Every
candidate in the list has been picked
as "sure winner" Each candidate
seems to fear a different rival, and
each is feared in turn by someone
else. yet no candidate can realize that
her high score or her prospects should
worry anyone.
Some Foolish Rumors.
There is not single active eandi~
date in the list who has not been re-
ported to the Contest Manager, at
least once. as intending to spend a
considerable sum of money in order
to win the chief prize, yet not a single
instance has come to his knowledge of
a contestant having spent dollar in
the contest so far, unless it be for a
subscription for a member of her
family. If candidate intended to
use personal funds she would long
ago have spent some to increase the
size of some subscriptions and win
bonus votes.
The prizes will all be easily won and
every candidate in the list will re-
ceive a very handsome reward for the
amount of time and effort expended
and for the amount of business OBJ
tanned by them.
Five Annuals-ll0,00 Votes
Five new subscriptions for year
each would give 10000 votes if
brought in by April l, as the follow
ing table will show:
