DAMAGE CASE NON SUITED.
Action That Has Been Hanging Fire
Thrown Out by Judge Belt.

The damage suit filed by George
Billings against H. L. Fenton was
non-suited in tIhe circuit court by
Judge Belt on Wednesday. This case
has been hanging fire for long time
and the plaintiff has shown no special
anxiety about pushing the issue. His
attorney, Smith & Shields, appeared
before the court on Wednesday and
requested an extension of time. Judge
Belt saw no reason for this, and Ithe
attorneys could offer none that was
valid, SO the case was thrown out of
court.

PARK SERMON NO. 4
! *+++++++*+++++++@ = !
(By J. C. Rickli.)

Brothers and Sisters: We will now
contemplate the poor groceryman.
There he goes ;that man in the once
white apron who looks like bar
keeper from Kalamazoo. Yes, pity
him. Everybody knows he is in dis
tress. The letters he gets from that
Mason, Ehrman & Co. credit man are
lacking in poetical style. If he had
time he would rather read the Satur-
day Evening Post, the Polk County
Observer, or the "Sunny Monday
Crawfsh," (Which never crabs" He
is about to hire all the diplomats
brother Woodrow Wilson has not
sent home to collect his bills. He
gets up YEARLY in the morning with
his liver on the bum. Nevertheless,
he valiantly jumps into the front
trench of his store to fight the battle
of life. Mr.. "Jim Jams" had drop
ped in quite early and has had time
enough to note what the grocer has
net in stock. He promptly demands
it and being denied evinces a mild
disgust and Of course, buys nothing,
nix scar nix" for which the dealer,
however, was quite prepared. But
the worst is to come. For the in
formation and guidance of the disap-
pointed merchant he commences to
quote Sears Roebuck prices. Yes. sir,
quotes Sears Roebuck prices to him.
The grocer winces and sways under
that blow, but instead of seizing the
nearby umbrella, ranming it down
Mr.. "Jim Jams" throat and then
opening it with demoniaeal glee he
holds on to himself and the counter,
smiles a wan sickly smile and meekly
invites Mr.. "Jim Jams" to call
again. There behold your outraged,
downfrodden grocer in the dust, a
martyr. Martyrs have great souls
and the qualities of great men Save
himl save himl

Robertson has entreated him to Glove
everybody" with the accent on every
body. Sancta Simplicitas. how can
he? He has tried so hard to live up
to her invoice of eleven (11) com
mandments. Oh, eloquent and grac-
ious lady from far-off India or Indi-
ana, forgive him. He is but mortal
clay and the pain he has up his back
is no sign that wings are sprouting
between his bent shoulders.
AS the day grows older our grocer's s
troubles multiply. The smell of the
produce whereon he loses his sub
stance has become stencil in his
nostrils. The loving wife, knowing
there is heap o trouble on her old
man S mind, goes,out into the store to
cheer him up by telling him che is
an old Crouch and "a hurtin biz
ness"
Away to the park, TO the city park,
with him before it is too late and he
is billed for Salem. IF by this time
he is a feeble, tottering wreck, drag
him, push him! Well, we got the poor
blighter to the park. 1t was tough
job, but there he sets on the bench
between those tall trees. But look
Is it possible such astounding trans
formation? He has not been in the
city park ten minutes when he hits
up that bowed head, pulls down his
vest, wipes off his chin and commenc-
es to sing, yes sing in clear, mellow
tenor voice:
"I wish there was no w-a-a-a-r
| wish there was no fighting
sit in the car and smoke a clgah
ia ratata ta da. +"
No, he is not delirious because he
pulls out the cigar kind-hearted de-
signing drummer has treated him and
blows rings. This is conclusive evi-
dence that he has fully recovered his
old-time poise and equanimity. The
bewitching charm Of the city park has
done it's benefcient work. Being un-
der the impression that his first song
and dance has been "encored," he
proceeds to give horrible imitation
of the Swiss Yodlers, then briskly,
with an elastic step, he walks back to
the store and cheerfully grinds ten
pounds of musty coffee for Mrs. Grun-
dy on the old mill. He bids Jimmie
to take in them "vegitibles" and
close up. By the way Jimmy, he says,
"you are such good boy, here is a
nickle, go blow yourself, good mig ht. -
What shall the hardware merchant
do to keep from getting harder every
day of his hardwear lifeY But
Now let us sing the beauti-
full old song:
''Oh. birdie we are tired now
We do not care to hear you sing
You have sung your happy song all
day
Now put your head beneath your
wing"
Come sisters come, kiss us good
light. My dear sisters and brothers,
you are dismissed. Our devoted fam
lily has prevailed upon us TO say no
more. Fare you well, and if for ever
still fare YOU we'll

matte talents to get the blacksmith in
