before Judge John L. Craig.
Homer Malone, one Of the minor
children of Harry Malone, testified
this morning. and he told the court
that he did not want to leave his
parent and that he thought he was
good father He told the court
and lawyers that his father told him
he could go through school il he
wanted to, when he was asked in the
cross-examination il it Were so that
his father thought the children
should leave school and start to work
after they reached certain age.
Peter Ayres, long time friend Of
Harry Malone, and his grocer, and
Benjamin Crowell, teamster, who
has worked with Malone. were the
two witnesses who testified to- the
defendants reputation as a father:
Mr.. Ayres also expressed his opln-
ions of the defendant as man who
paid his bills, and told the court that
he always came across with his gro
Gerry bill when he had the money.
Other witnesses testified for the
defendant in the afternoon, among
them Mr. and Mrs Henry F. Kruger,
George w. Wright and Harry Muir
ply, all of them making statements
to the effect that Harry Malone was
good father and a man deserving
credit for his attempts at keeping a
family together. ........s
The tension in the court room was
relieved little during the testimony
of Harry Murphy, who is boarding in
the Malone home at the present
time, when he declared the Malone
children appeared to be happy as
larks" in their home, and also when
he said I'm gainin' fast" to the
query put to him whether or not the

MONTROSE WINS
FROM ARGYLE
Winners Lead at End Of First Half
Although Star is Put Out
of Game in Personal
Fouls.

MONTROSE, Iowa, March Sin
one of the fastest games that the
local fans have witnessed, the Mint
rose basketball team handed out a
defeat to Argyle with score Of "a
to IA.
This is the second game with
Argyle, the first being on Argyle's
floor. and resulted in victory for
Argyle. Argyle came to Montrose
with fine lineup and large crowd
of rooters, fully expectant to carry
off the honcrs. They were willing to
take almost any bet, that their
charges would carry back a victory.
From the start, however, it was seen
that the MOntrose team were too fast
for them, and that they had gained
considerable in team work since the
other game. At no time during the
game was the decision in doubt as
the Montrose five had the ball j
their territory practically all the
time. The first half ended with a
score of Is to IL in favor OF Mont
rose, despite the fact that Shaw, one
of our best players, was forced out
of the game with four personal fouls,
made by holding and two arms
round"
| In the second half the Argyle five
only made three points while the
Montrose team climbed up eight
more.
Argyle played good game, how
ever, and thinking that they could
offset the defeat OF their school
team challenged the Montrose town
team to a game. This challenge was
taken up and the Argyle boosters
were again disappointed when they
saw their stars go down to defeat
second time to a score of 81 to 10.
This is the first game the Montrose
town team has played.
The Argyle girls, however, won
from the Montrose girls by score
lof Il to l. They played a fine game,
Though the Montrose girls have just
!organized their team and had had
|only one practice together.
The lineup for the teams were:
Montrose: Wilson, Shaw, Thon.
Hancock, Vanderwort, Finnerty,
Wooster and Wilcox.
Argyle: Price, Newberry, Doyle
Marsh and Monford.
The lineup for the town teams
were:
Montrose: Maxwell B. Knobs,
VIM. Knobs, Lamb, Shaw, Hopp and
IT. Knobs. y
For Argyle: Lester Domenil, Leslie

Women do propose though they do
not say outright, "Jack, 1 love you 1!
Will you please be my husband?' They
sometimes do as did Alice and her
friend Fred. They had been singing,
and Alice searched through the music
till she found a song entitled, II am
in love with you" Handing 1t to Fred
she said do you know it7' Fred
looked stunned. and Ignoring the song
she held out to him, he said, mo,
didn't know IT, but certainly am glad
to hear you say So" And shortly
Alice was wearing an engagement
ring. But sometimes 1t works the
other way. A young man was taking
girl home on a beautiful moonlight
evening. Looking into his eyes she
said, Erin not going to get mar
ried until you do" He asked why, and
she replied Because so long as you
are single there is hope" But alas
he took her home and left her there
and never saw her again!

the gnawing of unconfeSSed sin.
Such was the case with King David.
His body was clad in the royal purple.
and seated on throne; but his soul
was In hell, and had been there more
than year. He had sinned, griev-
ously sinned in the matter of the wife
of Criah the Hittite. In idleness upon
the roof of his palace the lust of his
eyes awakened an Illicit passion for
the wife of another, whom he took,
and by craft rendered a widow. With
cunning cleverneSs he attempted to
conceal his crime thinking all would
be well. But David penned no psalms,
and his harp awakened no melodies
In the royal palace all that year. He
thought to prosper. but his prosperity
was turned into the drought Of sum-
mer.
Made Coward by Conscience.
But that year Of agony dragged on,
during which, as he afterwards con-
fessed FPS. 2:3), his bones waxed
old through his roaring all the day
long," all because his tongue kept ST.
lence." Then Nathan came, David's
old friend, the prophet Nathan. We
can we'll imagine how his knees smote
each other as the chamberlain an
nounced Nathan at the door, Orli-
narily David would have greeted the
old prophet with a hale and hearty
welcome, but not today. OF all men
he cared to see it was not Nathan. But
he must not be discourteous; let him
come In. Dignified, clear-eyed Na-
than stands before the king. David's
eyes are shifty; his face is pale, and
