objectionable Crime Of the Veteran
Boarder in His Youth. ca

objectionable Crime Of tho Veteran
soarder in He Youth. sud
"I never had but one row in
boarding house." said the veteran
boarder, land that I brought on my
self.
I'm this house we certainly did have
tough steak. Where they got It I
never knew. I used to think they
bought the sole leather remnants from
a trunk factory about four blocks
from our house and cooked them for
steak.
BE that as 1t may, the steak was
tough and one night ! conceived what
I then thought was felicitous fancy.
"You have seen those knives with
a cutting edge on one side and saw
teeth on the other? They sell EN- to
housewives for cutting of slices of
ham, the knife to cut with and the
saw to saw the bone. Well in my
youthful foolishness bought one of
those saw knives and took 1t home,
and the next night we had steak for
dinner I took 1t down and laid it be-
side my plate on the table. Well, 1t
made a sensation.
when my piece of steak came in
tried 1t first with the knife side OF my
saw knife, but there was nothing do
ing, and then I turned the knife over
and tried the saw side and l sawed
and sawed and sawed away, bending
down over the plate and bearing on
and saving hard with all hands SIT
ting around my table stopping eating
and looking on, and
1--WE were all having lots OF fun
and then without any warning the
landlady came in. She came in and
stood alongside Of me. all without my
knowing, with me keeping right or
saving. and then she touched me OF
the shoulder and looked up, with the
whole dining room now looking on
and then she stood there and looked
down at me, just looked at me, tha
was ALL but the look she gave mi
was enough. l put down the saw.

WORLD'S GREATEST BUYERS.
French Women Get Full Value for
Their Money.

Last week On Friday, Germaine
and her mother went to Des Grands
Magasins aux Galleries Lafayette to
buy handkerehiefs. says the Pictorial
Review. They found them at sixty
centimes, which is IL cents. 1t is
too much" said her mother. I'VE
will come next Friday when perhaps
they will be forty-ive centimes.
And it matters not how many Fridays
they must come They will not buy
until they find handkerchiefs at for
ty-fve centimes. There is needed a
yard and a half more Of silk to finish
the dress they are making for Ger
maine. The silk was bought at a
special sale and the clerk informs
them that the piece has now been put
back in stock. All, so? Then they
will watch the sales until it is again
reduced. They can wait.
For they are French women, the
closest buyers in the world, Not
even at a bargain sale does woman
of this race lose her head. She goes
about it with steady nerves and a
calm purpose. The Bon Marche or
the Galleries Lafayette or any other
department store that wants her
trade, must according to custom.
send to their patrons several days in
advance a leaflet announcing the
price of what they are offering on
the counters. At home then. and in
cold blood, without any hysteria, the
shopper will 60 carefully over the
list and check off what she may wish
to buy, a tablecloth. corsets, a pair
of gloves, whatever else she decides
she needs. Then when she reaches
the store, she can walk down aisle
after aisle, bargains to the right of
her. bargains to the left Of her, bar
gains on the floor above her, with a
singleness of purpose that sees moth
ing but what she came for. And she
purchases nothing else. Is she not
wonderful, this French woman? She
buvs only what she needs.

If split-log drag association were
in active operation in this county
practically every mile of public road
in the county could be dragged when
necessary. We do not know the mile
age of roads in the county, but the
cost of dragging would not be great.
OF course it would not be necessary
after the roads were dragged a few
times, to go over them oftener than
once a month, or such matter-per-
haps not so often. But the point is,
after a heavy rain a split-log drag
will repair the roads quickly and et-
ficiently. 1t is not possible for the
chain gang or the floating gangs to
go over every road just when 1t
needs work. BY the thorough or
sanization of an association of this
kind, the farmers residing along the
public roads would be employed to
use their teams to drag the roads
when necessary.

here to be hanged for the murder of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Weimann. who

execution. Two other men are to be

We do not think it wise or Just to
iimpugn the motives of the former
governor of Georgia for saving Leo
Franks neck. But who is prepared
TO say that if Frank had been poor
and unknown man, man in the or
idinary walks of life. he would
not have gone to the gallows?
Franks money and influence brought
him countrywide publicity. This
publicity, or notoriety, brought him
much sympathy, and caused many
influential persons to take an inter
est in his case. Without all this far
reaching influence being brought t.
bear, in all probability the man
would have been tried. convicted and
executed. We believe in treating
everybody alike. most especially in
the courts. The man who cannot
read is isentitled to as much sympathy
when he gets into trouble as the mil
lionaire.

l should like to have had my Ho-

deeds Of heroism are every moment

which will make one day more

Iliad. There something more than
what Hector and Achilles waged war
for is at stake. The freedom for
which men have striven all down the
ages is once more the prize We war
for in this later day.

few minutes the thick smoke-clouds
obscure everything; under them a
tragedy is quickly played out; one
can imagine the wreckage and DEATH
horror lying hidden there. Then the
smoke clears away. There is no
sign of movement; the enemy has one
mobile battery the less.
Yonder lies a thin, scarcely dis
cernible white line; it is where the
infantry lies entrenched, battling
hard, the assisting shell screaming
loudly overhead. The faint rattle OF
their musketry and their maxim
guns is just heard across the waters.

HUDSON ADDS
S1,OOO,O00 IMPROVE
MENT TO FACTORY

At the big plant of the Hudson
Motor Car Co. in Detroit new con-
struction to the value Of over ST.
100000 is going rapidly forward. Sew
eral wings are being extended in full
three story construction. The space
between the old wings is being util-
lied by saw-tooth roof and con-
crete flooring. Large additions are
being made to the engine room and
power plant Extra room is being
provided in the body department, the
machine department, the final test
section and the heat-treating section.
New machine shops are being built
and in other ways great activity is
manifested everywhere.
This is stated in letter from tho
factory to Distributor P. M. Lawrence
to be simply an attempt to keep up
with the demand for the Hudson. AT
the present time, it is claimed the
Hudson is doing a larger volume OF
business than any other high-g grade
automobile in the world at $1,000 and
over. Production now is at a high
figure, shipments having run as high
as 175 cars per day. In spite Of this
the factory is constantly beseiged by
dealers for more cars in order to sup
ply orders.-Adv.
