What Madge Underwent While Wat

 ing for the Hour to Meet Dicaky.
 can imagine nothing in the world so humiliating to q woman. especially to a wife, as to find out that her hus- band has ceased to love her. and especially that he prefers tho com : panionship of some ono else to that of herself.
 This was the realization that I booth in Tracy's after ~te1ephoning Diclky concerning the dinner which we were to have with the Durkees.
 If 1t had not been for the tell-tale oath Dicky had let escape bis lips after he thought he had hung up the telephone receiver might have be- lieved that he was not averse to the proposed dinner in spite of the spec tacle had witnessed earlier in the day at Hambel's.
 But there was no mistaking that oath. He did not wish to spend the evening with me. and after the scene I had witnessed in Hambel's, where had seen him buying and paying for an expensive suit and hat for Edith, :" the pretty Virginia art student, knew only too well whose society he pre-
 was glad that the friendly dusk of the telephone booth had my face, glad that for a moment or two longer did not have to face Mrs. Durkes's kindly critical eyes.
 For even this latest blow did not alter my decision to take dinner with Dicky as if nothing had happened. and then to make him understand without really telling him In 50 many vy4f Edith" at Hambers.
 I knew that I should need all my strength of body and mind to go through with tho thing, and braced myself to face whatever came, as opened the door of the booth to meet Mrs. Durkee, who had finished her. own telephoning and had come to; meet me.
 Preparations for the Evenfng.
 ''Alf Is awfully pleased at the idea.'' she said. How about Dfcky ?"
 ''He appeared to be delighted, said he was .tickled to death,' replied truthfully and said grimly to myself that I could observe no longer the tn-i junction to tell the whole truth. Shall we go over to the station now? ?"
 There's plenty of time if we're to- meet them at G. Mrs. Durlkee said, ''and I'm dying for a cup of tea

 I was too upset to say anything be- yond the most banal of conventionali- ties.
 'Tea won't" Mrs. Durixes declared firmly. She Is like an Engiishwoman in her love for the beverage. "and we'll only have cracker with it.
 ''very well,' agreed sedately. and. indeed, I was glad of the immediate prospect of the tea, My head was aching, and 1t was no part of my plan to present a suffering, woe-begone face to Dicky.
 The steaming tea, the quiet of the tea room at Tracy's. and. above all, the bracing winter air during the short walk to the station helped me greatly. And when, in the cosy pri- vate dressing room provided for q nominal fee at the railroad station, washed my face and hands with hot water, then dashed cold water on my cheeks and let down and rearrangeds my hair, felt quite fit. physically and mentally. for the evening.

VindicatiOn
of the
One-Price
4 System.

1t Is a matter of common knowledge
in the photograph trade that the New
Edison. '"the phonograph with a soul"
although costing m're than ordinary
talking machines" is manufactured
and sold by the Edison Laboratories at
a smaller percentage of profit than
talking machines"
It now transpires that, because Of the
su~perlatively fine materials used in the
manufacture of the New Edison, the
Edison Laboratories have felt the in
~creasing cost of materials more acutely
than the talking machine manufacturers.
Nevertheless, while the price of talk
ing machines have been quite general
ly raised, the Edison Laboratories have
stood steadfast in the maintenance of
the long-established prices. An official
of the Edison Laboratories recently
stated that
eff it were not for the fact tha
the New Edison and Edison Re-
Creations are sold in accordance
with the one-price principle, our
prices would nave been advanced
over a year ago."
The Edison Laboratories now find it
necessary to advance their prices, but
in harmony with the broad-visioned pol
icy which has always characterized Mr..
Edison's industries. these advances will
not be made effective until January l,
1918. Furthermore, the Edison Labor
atories, instead Of passing the Govern
ment taxes on to the consumer, are alb
sorbing part of them. Until January

A Pig and a Bundle.

Most work around the depot is sup
posed to be done according to rule and
regulation, but an event took place one
day last week that was not on the
schedule. A gent with a parcel con
tanning several pieces Of wearing ap
parel left his bundle on truck while
he attended to some important business
in the freight Office. A pig that was
waiting for the train and had received
a good deal of official attention, for it
seems that in the holiday season pigs
are treated as passengers and passen-
gers as pigs-this pig we speak of
whose little beady eyes shifted nervous
ly from one object to another instantly
rested on the package which had rolled
quite close to his crate. We presume
this fellow had no pedigree. At any
rate he tore the paper open, revealing a
shirt, a necktie and a pair of socks.
Result was-he ate the shirt and neck
tie. The socks he passed up.-Darling

MINERAL POINT PUBLIC LIBRARY

That the library is growing in favor
with the community is shown by the
increased circulation. In December
1916 there were loaned 1414 books, an
increase of 107 over the number loaned
in December, 1915. The proportion of
non fiction books drawn also shows an
encouraging increase.
On Sundays the library is open from
2 to p. N. A pleasant, comfortable
room is here for all who desire to read
Or to visit the library. 1t is not neces
sary to say that you are welcome; be-
cause the library is yours.
A number of late books have recently
been added. In addition to some inter
esting fiction there are books on the
social conditions Of today, books on
national and world conditions. recent
biography, modern chemistry, aviation,
submarines, methods of education, and
training for efficiency.
