UNVERsATILE.

Marie, the eight-year-
old hopeful of a certain
household Of this town,
was seated at the break
fast table one morning.
AS usual, eggs were
served.
Now either Marie was
not hungry or she had
grown tired Of the inevi-

earnestly she lifted her
eyes to heaven and ex-
claimed:
Il wish to goodness
hens would lay something
besides eggs!"

Rear Admiral Francis
7. BOWles Says
Germany Will Win

Boston. March l. The chance
of a successful invasion of Eng
land cannot be lightly dismissed"
said Rear Admiral Francis T.
Bowles, retired, formerly of the
United States navy, in an inter-
view upon his return from Eu-
rope. Il am convinced that Ger
many ultimately will be success
fnl. The probable situation is
that all the allies are now ready
to quit, and that means not only
France and Russia. but England;
that Germany is ready to make
peace with Russia and France,
but never with England. The
possible consequences of such a
situation are easily discernible
and merit the most serious con-
sideratiOn by the people of the
United States.

The Capital A
Sahsrah Sunday
Special To The Leader-Entarprise


Atlanta, Ga. March 1.--Atlanta
today is recovering from her first
really dry Sunday in several years,
and the early morning attendance
at the clubs was noticeably large.
But the men who must have their
Sunday toddy did not suffer if they
had forethought for Chief Beavers
warning enabled them to carry home
a package Saturday night. Some
carried their packages in bottles and
some internally.
The chief sprung surprise by
digging up an old state statute
against tip ling. on Sunday, instruct
ed the chief of detectives to have
plain clothes men watch the clubs
and make cases where any drinks
were served, dispensed, sold or given
away.

conducted the funeral services.
A sweeter and more impressive
service was never witnessed.
Friends from all over the state
sent beautiful flowers and re-
MEMBRANES.
Little Francis leaves her father
and mother and three little sis
tiers. Thelma, Eulalie and Eliza
beth, and a large number of
friends and relatives to mourn
her loss.
A home upon earth is all broken,
The hearts of the family SO sad,
The angel of death has robbed them
Of one of the sweetest possessions
they had.
At nine in the morning came the angel
Took the baby, grille of seven
Placed her safe in the arms of Jesus
Who has prepared her a home in
Heaven.
She was so bright and so happy,
Showered with caresses and love
But the little darling was needed
To brighten the City above.
And oh! how rich are the parents,
With that new treasure up there
With Jesus to keep her so safely,
In the City that lieth four square,
Oh what a beautiful City!
The granduer can never be told,
The possessions of home IN it only
Can all of its richness unfold.
Dear parents, God has taken little Francis
Mere words can not comfort you
Just get closer and closer to Jesus
He's a friend who is always true.

Little Francis DOrmineY

On Feb. 6, 1915, the angel of
death visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. J. Dorminey and
robbed them of their baby girl,
Francis Rebekah. She was born
June l, 1908. Early in Novem-
Der last year she contracted scar
let fever. Her condition was not
thought to be serious at first, but
her general health was greatly
impaired by the disease and her
condition grew worse. Pneu-
monia and other complications
began to prey on the already
emaciated little body. There
were days and nights of anxious
watching.
Drs. Edd Dorminey, Ricketson
and Russell and Miss Fannie
Fletcher, the nurse, were untir-
ing in their efforts for her re-
covery. Skilled nursing, medi-
cal science and loving care were
of no avail. Dear beautiful little
Francis had to go.
A great shadow of grief was
thrown over the entire town.
Little children were heart broken
because they had their little play
mate no longer. Strong men
were lowed in grief on account
of her death. Mothers wept,
knowing the agony of losing a
loved one.
During her illness Francis was
such a patient little sufferer. Her
physical strength, too, was re-
markable. A short while before
her death she raised herself in
the bed and called for her nourish-
ment.
The little darling was taken to
the Dickson cemetery to be laid
to rest. A large number of

Injured Badly By
Corn CuItiVatOr

A Michigan farmer was so bad
lY injured while cultivating that
he had 80 running sores. He states
that he tried many remedies and
doctors with no success and that
finally he used Aliens Ulcerine
Salve which cured up all the sores
completely. Name and address
on application.)
Aliens Ulcerine Salve is one of
the oldest remedies in America
and since 1869 has been known as
the only salve powerful enough to
reach chronic ulcers and old, sores
of long standing. Because it is SO
powerful it often heals burns and
scalds without scar in a remark
ably short time.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve heals
from the bottom up and draws out
the poisons. If applied on new
cuts and sores it heals in third
the time that common salves and
liniments take. Sold by T. j.

fright and went TO it's knees and refus-
ed to proceed. u had probably heard
of the artistic temperament of grand
opera performers. The actors tina ly
arrived on the scene by being hauled
by several of their co-conspirators.
The show was good. Arthur Schuet-
re acted as interlocutor. The other
majors were Geo. Herzog, Chick Gold
ing, Wenzel Koutnik, Harry Spiegel,
Frank Heinrichs and Geo. Hopf, all of
whom gave creditable performances
The sextette did itself proud but the
real big hit was the 1iolin playing OF
10 year old Rudolph Ginzel, pupil OF
George Urban. The boy has future
in music. John Wuellner and c. A..
Fish received encores in their saxa-
phone duet. Eddie Hopper captured
the audience in a Jewish mono)ogue
and dance. There wasn't room enough
Thursday for all ticket holders which
necessi oated two performances. a
dance followed on each evening. The
horse had been fred and his equine
successor on Saturday evening WASH t
bothered with temperament. This
minstrel show has become fixture
and will continue to pack them in as
long as the present high standard is
maintained. 1t is good, clean, whole

STRANGER SHOOTS HIMSELF.

Tuesday morning young man ar
rived in the city from the south.
About $3.50 O'Clock he went into the
Cadillac saloon on south Sth street. He
staid there about an hour chatting with
the proprietor and amusing himself by
feeding nickels into an automatic pi-
ano. lie had drink OF spirits and APP
peared to be in happy mood which he
evidenced by jigging to the rag time
ground out by the piano. He then ask.
ed for writing materials and retired to
screened table in the rear part OF the
bar room. He wrote and sealed note
and then fired a pistol ball into his
head and died instantly. He had given
no intimation Of being bent on suicide
or Of being in Respondent frame OF
mind. The letter was addressed to a
sister Mrs. August Raabe, Milwaukee,
1t was a farewell note. On the re-
verse side Of the envelope the young
man had written God forgive me
John" In the note which was opened
by the coroner he had written that he
could stand it no longer and pur-
posed to lend it all" The suicide
was John Goehringer until recently

that her brother has been out Of work
and in poor health and that he had left
her home to seek job. He was 81
years old and unmarried. His rela.
tlves said that he was good boy"
and they were astounded at his act
The revolver and cartridges had just
been purchased at n hardware store a
few doors from the Cadillac and the
pistol still bore the price tag Of $500.

are a few new things in the book but
the main parts are the same. The spell

pamphlet, except that the printer start
ed the column on page 3 and hence the
columns break at a different place. The
work in local government is corrected
up to date. There is added to the pam
phlet some work in middle Form Phon-
les prepared by Miss Cheney and the
work on Nature Study and the School

prove it and John Smith is as good a
handle as any.
The scheme works like this: The
sheriff gets the man job. lie goes
out to work in the morning and comes
back to the Jail at the close Of work.
He must not go iu saloons and the
sheriff collects his wages, pays his
board and turns the balance over u,
his family or, in case he has none, to
the county.
The sheriff secured job for Smith
working with gang of steel layers
out at Calumet yards and he went to
work. Now see how the scheme oc-

Smiths drew Sli.00 that Smith had
