In the same letter Vawter asked
Heth to pay liquor bill for sos for

his other debts amounted to $1,000.
He admonished Heth not to mistreat
Mrs. Vawter and not to let her know

In the first letter introduced, Vaw-
ter told Heth he had discovered his
relations with Mrs. Vawter and

wrote urging Heth to forget what had
been said and continue his visits.

going to give you the surprise of

able to appreciate my position. By

control that afternoon and can keep

During his testimony Vawter
stated that on one occasion he saw
his wife run out OF Heth's bed room in
a night dress, and that when he de-
nounced Heth the latter choked him
for his suspicion Of Mrs. Vawter.

MARK THIS MAN.

Breathes there man with soul SO dead
Who never to himself hath said:
"My trade of late is getting bad;
/ think I'll try another adj"
If such should be, go mark hi well;
For him no bank account shall swell
No. angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
In local papers oft displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound,
Here let MIN live in calm repose
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies go plant him deep
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep,
Where no rude clamor may dispel,
The quiet that he loves so well,
And that the world may know its loss
Place on his grave wreath of moss,
And on stone above, Here lies
a chump who wouldn't advertise"

WAITING.

Serene, | fold my hands and wait.
Nor care for wind, nor tide, ncr sea;
I rave no more gainst time nor tate,
For 10! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste, l make delays,
For what avai.s this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends / seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if | stand alone?
wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath sown,
And garner up it's fruit of tears.
The waters know their OWN, and draw
The brook that's springs inyonder heights !;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delights.
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor hlgn,
Can keep my own away from me.

GETTING, VILLA.

~ EN-. Pershing is still in northern Mex
leo with the bulk of the United
States army. We seem to remem-
Der, more or less vaguely, that he went
there to "get" Villa, alive or dead, after
that picturesque bandit had shot up and
looted Columbus, N. M.
For while there were obvious reasons
why the punitive expedition failed to pun
ish as per program. At first, Villa ran
too fast. Then he hid in the mountains
where even an Indian would have trouble
finding him. 1t was even believed at one
period that he was dead.
Recently the situation has changed. Vii
la has come into the open again. He has
taken and looted the capitol city CT Chi
huahua, and got away with his booty.
Within few days he played the same
prank in Torreon, the railroad center of
northern Mexico. He has pleasantly in
timated that he might drop across the
border again one of these days. and shoot
up another American town or two.
Meanwhile, nothing has beer heard
from Gen. Pershing and his army. Ap-
parently, our troops are standing pat. But
they weren't sent into Mexico to dig

NO EXCUSE! HUH!

A fellow told The Globe publisher the
other day that he didn't believe there was
any excuse for the newspapers raising
their rates. He was shown two bills for
print paper, one for S48.50 and the other
for $4,000 each for ton Of print, one
for goods shipped before the rise and the
other for one after, and still he was skep-
tical and called The Globe man a robber
The Globe has an even one hundred dol
lars in cash for any subscriber who will
buy ton of print within the next ten
days for less than $4,000 from any pa
per house in Omaha, Sioux City, or the
Twin Cities. Now, you fellows who call
the printer a robber come across; either
put up and make good or close your facial

SAY IT NOW.

WHEN will relatives and friends Of
M those who have walked almost the
entire length of the Avenue of life,
learn that little word of love and appre-
citation in the newspaper now, means much
to them, and long obituary after they
have passed away means absolutely moth
ing? Some item Of interest could be writ
ten of almost every elderly person in the
community, but no one mentions it to the
editors of the local papers until after the
old father or mother has gone. Then
comes yard-long obituary, citing the vir-
tues, the interesting happenings of life
time and the respect and love of friends.
It's all absolutely useless then-merely
balm to the feelings and sop to the van
ity of those left behind, and carrying no
whit of love or honor to the one gone.
LET something good be said'' while ne
of whom it is said can still listen. "A rose
to the living is more" than a whole col
umn of eulogy to the dead. Don't hoard
your treasure of love and praise; use it
before it is too late.
