lew minutes thereafter.
Bystanders exonerate Mr.. Hallam
rom all blame in the matter, as it is
stated the child was standing on the
curplng, and suddenly dashed into the
street in front of the machine. The
ofiVef swerved the car, which was
not going at rapid rate, but the
child failed to stop. and as a result Il
was impossible to prevent striking
the little fellow Mr.. Hallam imme-
diately picked the child up and
rushed with him to the hospital, bu+
ne died before he reached there.

been one of those accidents which
could not be prevented. The funeral

Soap Bubbles Puzzle Dou.

humorous happening is to get a
dog to chase soap bubbles. He will be
highly interested if one Is placed on
the floor, and if the breeze forces it to
move he will follow it, keeping a re-
Spectful distance. however, at first.
After several bubbles are blown he
will gradually draw closer and very
soon will touch his nose to one Of
them. Then is when q genuine look
OF establishment comes over his face
as the bubble vanishes and perhaps he
gets tiny bit of soap in his eye. The
dog gives ample evidence Of his per-

MRS. LOwDEN AIDS HUSBAND

In all his enterprises, public and
private, Gov Frank o. Lowden, of
Illinois, one of the leading candidates
for the Republican presidential NOM
nation, has had valuable and SYM
pathetic counsellor and aid in his wife.
Mrs. Lowden has graciously discharg-
ed the many social obligations entail
ed by her husbands position in public
life. Within the circle of her family
and intimate friends she is known as
a woman of charming personality.
One phailanthropic project to which
Mrs. Lokden has devoted much time
is Hilltop. 1t consists of two cottages
on Sinnissippi farm, near Oregon, ILL.,.
the Lowden country home. They oc-
cupy bluff overlooking the Rock Riv-
er, and to this haven Mrs. Lowden di-
reefs a steady stream of poor and
crippled children from the Chicago
hospitals and tenements.
The, best of farm, fare is provided
for them. Trained nurses watch them
day and night; There are swings and
merry-gO-rounds, automobile rides in
summer and sleigh rides in winter. In
this invigorating outdoor environment
where her kindness has placed them
many children recovered the health
and strength they lost in the crowded
slums of the city. Mrs. Lowden has
carried on her work so unostentatious-
ly that many of the country neighbors
have never ever heard of Hilltop.

A REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

tFrom the Pueblo (Cal.) Chieftain.
The present effort to prepare Re-
publican platform that embodies the
best political thought and purpose of
the Republican voters, platform
that will be published and afterwards
regarded as a solemn contract between
the voters and the Republican party
in power, is step in the right direc-
ton. 1t will accomplish more for the
welfare of the nation than can be
gained by any independent or non
partisan movement, by whomsoever
engineered or headed.
What the country needs now is not
more partisanship of the right sort.
1t needs a government by a party of
principles, which will assume respon-
sibility for the acts of it's elected Off
cials, and which will find ways of see
ing that those officials keep with with
the people.
