Jennie was then ordered to the stand.
Sitting on high at the magistrates ell
bow she was a-tremble with fright
stage fright and the more fundamental
fear as to what was going to happen
to her. Her eyes swept out over the
crowd she saw her father and Uncle
George sitting obscurely in the back
seat of the court room and nearer to
her she picked out the pale face Of
Harry Edwards.
She pulled herself together and faced
the magistrate, her quick wits having
come back to her. She was afraid,
but she acted more afraid than she
really wSs. and also more contrite. In
response to the magistrates question
ing, she made her confession just as
she had made it a little earlier to her
father and Uncle George, leaving Slim
Jackson entirely out of the affair.

guilty Off" the magistrate demanded
with impressive severity when she had
ended.

"You have been guilty OF forgery.
You are a young girl and / hope this
will be a lesson to you. Are your par

''Is he In court?'

"Officer Casey" - severely - why
didn't you notify this girls father to
be in court2"

Casey had to admit.
The magistrate gave Jennie sharp
glance. Then he spoke to his bailif..
Find this girls father and bring
him to me-" ..-.-
A minute later Black Jerry was
pushed through the gate in the railing
and up before the desk. At sight of
him the magistrate stared.
"why, it's Jerry Malone !-Black
Jerry !" he exclaimed.
He saw that the reporter was lean

uptown ladies' were excitedly attentive.
He was Judge who roared righteously
from the bench when effective and safe
opportunity was offered; and this was
developing into an unusual chance for

SAVIOR AND TREATY

In discussing the treaty Senator
Norris took up the Shangtung
question and spoke concerning 1t
with more vehemence than judg-
ment. Among other things he
said that in ''the full knowledge
of all the disgraceful facts, be-
levers in the religion Jesus Christ
would suffer death before giving
approval to a treaty that sanctioned
it,"
Rather comprehensive and final
words are these from the Republi-
can gentleman from Nebraska.
But what do they mean9 Is there
anyone wlo knows of any COM
mand or even counsel of the Savior
that we should refuse to take the
word of our neighbor, but that on
the contrary we should denounce
him as liar when he makes
direct and open promise. Japan
has given her solemn word that
she will restore this Chinese PENN
suIa to China. Would itencourage
respect for Christianity to slap
this mont Christian people in the
face without giving them an OPP
portunity to prove the sincerity
of their word.
We have Away understood that
Christ desired US to love our neigh
Dor as ourself. Surely, then, one
who would treat Japan as Senator
Norris advises, could not be accused
of either standardization or self
conceit. But there are no such
self-abasing human. Commercial

prominence Of our Chief Execu-

his giving down occurred at a
critical time in the peace pact

GATCHlNG INFLUENZA

DR.. OliA West, secretary of the
State Board Of Health. has issued
timely warning against the
danger of catching influenza. This
is PARTICULARLY appropriate during
the present rainy weather, as fla
is inclined to make its attacks upon
a body which is wet and chilled.
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the need for each person
taking extraordinary precautions
against a repetition ofthe epidemic
which rayaged the country last
year; physicians frankly predict
that it will be with US again, and
while facilities for combating the
disease are better than they were
year ago, yet it behooves all to
AVOID catcnlng IL.
The preventative measures are
simple, and require, but a little
thought and care upon the part of
each person; do not get wet, avoid
getting chilled, keep away from.
large gatherings where the air is
bad, and be prudent in all things,
especially in eating.
Upon catching the 'fiu" sum-
mon a physician; go to bed, keep
covered, but also keep the room
well ventilated stay in bed until
completely cured, and avoid taking
the various nostrums which quacks
offer as sure cures" After be-
cured, remain about home
a day or so taking life easy. That
is all that is required. But the
advice of the physician should be
rigidIy followed. -Tennessean.

Women and Mice.

It is contended that woman's fear
Of mice arises from their being classed
as yermin. The fact that rats carry
disease and plague is not disputed.
Mice may not be quite so dangerous.
Their bites and scratches are triaing.
But they carry disease and dirt, and
a baby sleeping in cradle, for in
stance, may suffer in consequence.
Mothers have for ages been affected by
this dread, and in seeking to protect
their offspring from contact with mice
have uncenscieusly, we are told, bred
that feeling of nervousness which has
provided the Scornic artist with his
periodical picture.

REAL ESTATE DEALS

There is now more activity in
real estate in Carroll county than
at any time in our recollection.
The county is growing more pros
prous rapidly. Many farm homes
are being repaired and put in
more comfortable and attractive
condition, and more automobiles
are being purchased than ever be-
fore. These facts are amply veri-
fed by the increasing list of tran
fers of property and the continued
demand for new automobile
licenses.
The high price of farm land has
not deferred buyers, in fact, land
values have nearly doubled within
the last few years, and yet the
scramble for good farms continue.
The high price of farm products
and the large amount of money in
circulation have been largely re-
sponsible for this increase in the
demand for real estate. There
never has been a time when money
was SO plentiful and such demand
for labor. The products of the
farm are high and the man who
wants to work can find employ
ment. These are certainly pros
porous times.

1t took George Washington
nearly three years to get the
treaty between this county and
England adopted. The English
sentiment in our colonial congress
was so strong that Washington at
times became so discouraged that
be felt inclined to give up the task
of ever getting the treaty signed,
bur he finally succeeded. Wilson
is having a semilar experience.
The pro-German sentiment in the
United States senate. though
kept in the backgrown, is so
powerful that it looks like the
treaty will not be ratified by that
body. Wilson has broken down

is not yet. We hope he will win
