the beginning of each sentence. This
was a rather difficult task but MANY
pleasing things were written.

and sew.
That you will wash the dishes and
sweep the flo
VIII always keep my shirt and col
lars clean
And never, never, to me will be mean,
VIII never to party make me go.
Or in an evening suit appear,
If you will promise me all this my
dear,
I'll promise you, I'll promise you.
O, promise me that you will dresses
buy,
The most expensive underneath the
sky;
Will always buy me hats of latest
style
And feed me Nunnally's candy all the
while
Will never, never mention school to
Will always let me spend your money

If you will promise me all this my
dear,
I'll promise you, Til promise you.

TONER saying that burden of debts,
occa stoned by sick wife, with her con-
tinued illness and his despondency. fol-
lowed by spell of drinking led the
man to steal the payroll entrusted to
him by his employers. He left Auburn
where he was located went to Mary
land where his wife was staying for
her health with his brother. took her
to Florida and later secured employ
ment in Washington. He there answer
ed an advertisement of the Nelson Co.
and by that was located and apprehend-
ed. He waived eXtradition, pleaded
guilty and had been a model prisoner.
Counsel thought that the punishment
had already been sufficient and that, as
the man would be eligible for parole in
October, a pardon would enable him to
more easily secure employment as a
construction engineer.
The man promised to reimburse the
Nelson company for the money stolen,
with all their expenses herewith. and
the company had expressed a willing
ness to aid him in securing a pardon
on those terms.
County Attorney William H. Hines of
Lewiston. who prosecuted the case, said
nothing had occurred since the trial to
influence the pardoning board and he
had nothing to add to Mr.. Ingrahams
able statement.
Willis E. Parsons of Foxcroft at this
point appeared and qualified as member
of the Board of Hospital Trustees.
