pystytettiin portit krokettipelia
varten, ia siina sitten oteltiin
puolueettain kuhn ainakin taiste-

Kaikki muut sujui, paitsi ty0-

WORDS WRONGLY USED

w. c. Warren, of the Hinckley Enterprise calls at
tention to the unwarranted distinction farmer
and "busness man. He quotes farmer and comments
as follows
Said farmer to the other day elf you fellows in
town wouldn't make distinction between the business
man and the farmer when you speak of Them you could
bring them together The farmer knows he just
much business man. when he manages his farm sue
cessfully is the who manages sore and he has
just much invested. and resents the Distinction
There is absolutely doubt but what the farmer
be just much business make his farm pay as
the merchant needs to be business to make his store
pay and there is doubt but what there manag
ing farms and managing stores who business
men. The store keeper the farmer the in any
other line of business who manages his business in bust
nesske way is businessman and the in either Or
any other occupation who does manage his business
businesske way is not businessman. And yet, the
term business man" has come to the business
of the village city and not the business the
farm The speaking of working a farm
business man farm may may not be descriptive,
and to speak of the fellow doing business in the village
as business may may not be calling him the
right name, he may be only storekeeper, and to call
not be correct He may live farm and in the
real o. the word be neither a farmer bus
mess But, you can't get away from the distnc
tonthe who lives farm will be called farmer
whether he knows how to farm not, and the who
has store bank, other business in town will
be called businessman whether he knows anything about
the business not Custom has made this use of the
words.

Steals Officers
Revoluer While
Being Arrested
COVERS HIM, INJURING
CONSTABLE.

Somewhere in Mississippi, running
in the other direction as swiftly as
pair Of No. II feet will carry him, is
six-foot, 1S0-pound negro, badly
scared and carrying "A caliber, new
model, Smith e Wesson revolver, OBJ
tained in a struggle last night in the
Northeastern railroad yards with
county constable.
The identity of the negro is not
known, although the police and coun-
ty authorities have a minute descrip-
tion of him. This has been telephon-
ed to adjoining counties, and a re.
quest that he be arrested on the
charge of resisting an officer, and Of
larceny.
b. j. Bradley, constable on Beat 8,
was passing through the railroad
yards last night, when he came across
a negro carrying a grip, strapped
to the outside of which was a hammer
belonging to one of the shops in that
section. He arrested the negro on the
spot and prepared to take possession
of the grip. Hands up" he told the
prisoner, and hands up it was. Brad
ley then, with one hand holding a "A,
which covered the man, began search
ing him with the other.
In the twinkling of an eye, and be-
f1re the officer was aware of what had
happened. both of the negro's hands
came down, and the pair of them land
ed on the revolver which was aimed at
his face. He turned the mu2zle of the
pistol to one side, and with the
strength of a fright-crazed man, lit
orally tore it from Bradley's hands.
The index finger of the officer was on
the trigger at the time, but the work
Of the negro was so swift that the
weapon was freed before he could fire.
The guard on the pistol painfully cut
the fingers of the officer. In the
twinkling of an eye, the negro darted
under box car and was lost in the
darkness.
