as series of romantic and farcial

delicate pink chemise. Garry gave the
chemise to Mabel as a gift. in a mo-
ment of sentimental alteration. and
foolishly had it inscribed in bold big
letters Mabel from Garry"
Then Garry fell in love with and
married sweet but painfully unso-
phisticated little girl and went to
spend his honeymoon at the country
home of friend. Who should turn up

must be confessed that Mabel was a

the other lad'"- present were a wee bit
catty. At any rate. Mabel let Barry
know that she had the chemise and
that she intended to display it in ways
that might prove detrimental to Gar
ry's welfare. OF course, she didn't
really mean it, but Garry thought she
did, so he tried to steal the chemise
1t was not 'chem-easy." and the fun

PARDON GRANTED TO
ALEXANDER DELW-
EREO BY DAUGHTER
Governor Morrow Says Paris Banker
Has Served Enough In Prison as
Punishment For Crime.

Frankfort, Ky, April 6. - Governor
e. p. Morrow Monday pardoned
George Alexander, of Paris, who was
sentenced to the penitentisry five years
ago for having defrauded the Alexan-
der Bank, of Paris, out of 100000. The
pardon was carried to the prison at
O'Clock by his daughter Miss Kate
Alexander, to whom, more than any
other person, belongs the credit for OBJ
tanning her fathers freedom
In his reasons for granting the par
don Governor Morrow said there was
no objection made by Circuit Judge X
l.. Stout, of this city, who tried Alex
ander, or Victor Bradley, of George
town. Commonwealth Attorney, who
prosecuted him, and that the petition
for the pardon was signed by 40 per
cent. of the creditors of the Alexander
Bank and persons who lost money
through the bank failure and more
than 500 of the most prominent citi-
zens of Paris and Bourbon county
In granting the pardon Governor
Morrow said:
MY investigation discloses that
George Alexander, once proud and
influential man, is now old, rnrm ana
broken both in body and spirit. lie Is
sc years old, and the confinement OF
the last five years has made nm fni
older. l believe every purpose or the
law has been fully met. This man mas
served longer term in prison for TINS
offense than ever was served before bN
any man for "a similar offense. except
one. l am certain that added years of
Imprisonment will add nothing in the
way of reforming this unfortunate
man, but will only be added years of
useless Imprisonment. The ey
surely has been sufficient to others,
and so am constrained to believe that
the law has been satisfied, that the
purpose of conviction has been accom-
plished, and that, justice having been
satisfied. revenge is entitled to moth
