The two Elton sisters, age thirty and
thlrty-two and very successful business
women, live next door to the Smith
sisters, about fifty and ffty-two, who
are also retired and given to the occu-
pations Of crocheting and quilt piec-
Ing. The Elton sisters speak Of them
selves as "old maids," and the Smith
sisters as "pesky old m0lds," in order
to distinguish between them. Also
they are given to much plying Of the
second-class ladies'.
But the other evening one Of the
Elton sisters, clad in bungalow
apron, was out sprinkling the lawn.
AS she moved around the house she
heard the Smiths in conversation.
"Yes, sister, age has its compensa-

at those girls next door. They no
sooner get home than they get into
those aprons, so scanty that they are
immodest. OF course, they're just
kids, but still"
That was enough for Miss Elton.
With rush she was In the house.
"Oh, Grace" she told her sister
breathlessly, "thOse Smiths are real
nice. We've got to stop calling them
pesky old maids"
And now generously the Eltons
speak Of them az "the other ole

Young Men Steal Car

A good reputation builded in early
youth has saved two young men
from an indeterminate sentence in
the Aanamosa reformatory and even
tually will restore them to their
families and friends without the
stigma of prison attached to their
names.
A few weeks ago George Klobus
of East Elmhrust, Long Island, N.
Y, and Bartlette Luce of Mount
Vernon, New York, soldiers in the
service of their country and station
ed at Camp Grant, H., obtained
leaves of absence and drifted TO
Cedar Rapids where they found
themselves stranded. Leaves expir-
ing they faced the guardhouse un-
less they got back to Camp Grant at
once and having no money they
Borrowed" an auto.
They were arrested at Marion,
pleaded guilty and got five years.
w. J. Barngroven, lawyer and Judge
F. e. Ellison interested themselves
in the boys, got information from
their homes that they were always
clean and upright and asked the pa
role board to release them.
This the board has agreed to do
and they will escape the reformatory
prison blot that would follow them
through life.
