Well, Uncle Lucky didn't sprain his
digestion by eating too much lettuce
salad. as | feared he might In the last

very proud to think that his watch was
still going. and it certainly did go il it

that!

the old gentleman rabbit, and he climb

\ SAD CASE.

one Of the saddest sights that Mar
son people have seen for many years
was that Of bcggar woman. honhi.ng
along on c-utCheS, one day last weeN.
She had one eye bandaged up 50 heaN-
ily that only her other eye aud part OF
ner face could be seen and she seemed
so woeful and detected that she in
cited the deepest pity in all to whom
she related her sad story in her So
l!citation of aims. She was accom-
panied by boy Of or years ann
her story was that she had three chill
dren, besides being widow with no
support She was collecting money,
she said, to pay for a surgical opera
ton on her spine. After she had col
lected money from the kind hearted
business men around town she started
for the Illinois Central passenger sta
ton to take train OUT. She hobbleu
along painfully on her clutches until
she heard the train whistle and, know
ing that she could never make Il on
time If She stayed by her crutches, she
placed them firmly under her arm.

started on a dead run for the station.

her along on her sad journey with do
nations witnessed her departure from
the cltys gates with anything but
kindly and sympathetic feelings. After
she had gone ii developed that few
citizens had seen her doing sprint

secured some money and refused 10
give it up, whereupon he ran down an
alley pursued, full speed and crutch-
less, by his angry mother.

LAWS AND REPEALS.


And a strict enforcement would
mean an old fashioned blue law
Sunday in Iowa. Nothing could be
sold except the Darest necessities. the
drug stores could be opened only for
the sale Of medicines. No Sunday
papers, cigars, candies. magazines or
anything of that could be sold. Shoe
shining parlors would have to close
in fact nothing could be sold in Iowa
except necessaries. Restaurants could
serve meals only Laws are put upon
the statute books to DE enforced and
the attorney general-espec!ally since
the matter has been thoroughly dis
cussed Of late-should rigidly enforce
the Sunday laws These laws have
been openly winked at for years. They
should be either enforced or repealed
and, since the Legislature has refused
70 amend them, there is nothing lett
for Mr.. Havner but &c enforce them.
The above sentiment was voiced IN
a recent issue of one Of The Bee
valued exchanges at Webster City. II
it were not that Editor Tucker is a
very personal friend of ours we would
brand his utterances as "bally rot!
Tucker is all right, but he is just like
the editor Of the Des Moines Capital,
who has taken similar stand on the
so-called blue laws; ne has gotten
off his Communication line"
However the writer has heard the
same sentiment expressed time ana
again in jefferson. There is nothing

light Of Investigation and analysis. II
sounds good to the ear but. In actual
practice II does not work out we
need blue laws" and we need some OF
them as blue as mothers old stick OF
indigo, But--we must not always en-
force them.
1t would be foolish to say that we
should repeal the statute against
horse stealing because we failed to
catch the thief. Or against burglary,
or murder. 1t would be foolish to re-
peal the law against auto speeding be-
cause some fellow went a little TOO
fast and nobody arrested him. 1T would
be just as foolish to repeal the" law
against Sunday observance because II
has been "w!nked at ever since heck
was a pup.
Then how about the law against
taking the name Of God in vain,
known as the blasphemy statute!

city officials that steps be taken inn

streets. The newspaper can not do 1t
ALI 1t has harped on this subject con-
tnuously, and as no serious accidents

are many citizens who know that ex-

on all the time. The ordinance against
speeding in Boone is joke The city
authorities should not walt until fatal

should be put on at once with instruc-

mayor should assess them a good, stih
