We lived In house situated on

good deal and when the weather ad-
mitted often sat reading on bench
located near the park wall A row of
houses backed up against the other
side Of the wall, and one morning I
saw pretty girl sitting at second
story window doing some fancy work
The situation suggested Irritation;
but. though kept my eye on the girl
without cessation, could not detect
from her actions that she was con.
scious Of my presence. When l had

was telling my sister Kate about
my observation and regretting that
could not win a single glance from my
beauty.
How do you know you didn't?" ask
ed Kate.

latter did not scruple to look down
upon US quite frequently.

Sufferers can get measure of relief

want to get rid of rheumatism with
all its agony, pain and misery you
must drive from your system every

Rhenma that is so powerful that
within two days after you take the
first dose You will feel that the uric

Rheuma seldom fails; it overcomes
the torturing pain, limbers up and
reduces stiff. swollen joints and drives
the soreness from infamed muscles.
Anybody can try It, for it is free from

The hog kings are afraid of the
coming U. S. quiz. That's the tip
that's going about town. Past in
vestigatiOls have always been more
or less of a farce. The pigstickers
sat on the witness stand and gave
the laugh direct to the govt attor-
neys. And they were allowed to get
away with it. The newspapers took
the stockyards end of it. There was
a little furry for awhile. Then every
thing blew over and prices kept on
going up.
ButFthis time it may be different.
Monopolists can't figure out this
man, ThOs. w. Gregory, who is atty

matte Telephone grab was a blow to
Big Business. They're afraid he may
go after them this time without

The newspapers are quickly get
ting excited about the trend the in

blaming the high cost of living on
the retailers. No mention is made
of the packers.
The Tribune seems to have ap-
pointed itself chief knight defender
of the hog barons. In this mornings
Trib appeared the queer news that
meat has not increased in price since
1914. This should interest bread
winners who have been paying about
10 cents apiece for chops. The Trib
then goes on to defend the packers.
It says the packers have been selling
meat at a sacrifice, that cattle are
gettoing short in the U, S., and that
