STRANGE RESULT
OF LOVE SONGS
Who's Going to Keep the
S1O0-Well, We Can't
Tell You Just Now.


A troubadour sang to his love,
Who leaned from her window on
high, s{27. =
'.As long. as the moon shines above,
So long VIII I be, ever faithful to
"a thee; 4 Is, q
Just SO long as the moons in the sky.
The moon will shine for aye,
So hear my roundelay." ~
AS the singers clear tenor tenor
voice, accompanied on his guitar,
floated out through the barred win
dows Of the county pail, the third and
only feminine character in another of
those hardy.perennials, sex triangle,
came to window of the Jacobs build
ing and listened. Again the voice,
clear as bell,
Come, my love, the stars are shining,
Time is flying. Low is signing,
Come { for thee my heart is pining.
Here alone I wait for thee"
And so, listening to the singer, fate
decreed that the girl become one of
the chief characters in "a Romance
of the aClaboose, or Who Owns the
100 Bucks" for the song was the
opening wedge in a comedy now being
enacted in which it is hard to tell
whether the joke;is on the girl, the
prisoner or a prominent attorney.
Some time ago young man was
arrested and held for the grand jury.
A fine singer, he. soon became faH-
orite, not only in the county Jail, but
also with employees of adjacent build
ings, who were wont TO applaud his
efforts. And as he became acquaint-
ed with the girl and used to hold con-
verse with her about this and that
through the windows across the alley.
About two weeks ago the singer
met with an accident in the jail and
was taken to the hospital for an oper-
alton. Fearing that he might be
charged large sum at the hospital,
he entrusted his money, which he had
been boarding for his attorneys fee,
500 in all, to fellow prisoner. an
Italian, for safe keeping until his re-
turn from the hospital:
Last week he returned and found,
to his horror, that his trustee, who
had taken his impassioned songs at
their face value and thought the girl
was the singers sure enough, true
and only love. had come to the con-
clusion that the money would be SAT-
er with the girl than with him. And
so watching his opportunity, he
threw tho money out OF the window
into. the alley, between the Jail and
the Jacobs building where, 1t is said,
the girl picked it up.
And now the attorney is bewaiiing
the loss of remunerative client,

Helps to Secure Convention
Next Year for Fairmont

Fairmont's delegates to the confer
ence of the Rotary clubs OF the Sixth
district held at Erie this week re.
turned to the city this morning on an
early train and report that Nell
Dougan and the little organ turned the
trick for Fairmont in securing the con-
ference for next year. The fame OF
the singing qualities Of Fairmont Ro-
tarians had preceded the party and
there were demands all along the line
for exhibitions Of what the club could
do, and tho demonstrations began al
most as soon as the big special train
pulled out of the station at Pittsburgh
last Wednesday afternoon, and they
continued right up until the returning
special got back to Pittsburgh. Natural
" most of the Rotarians were bit
hoarse when they got back to town
this morning.
Although the Fatrmont delegation
was not large one, comparatively
speaking, at least one other West Wiz.
ginia town and most Of the Penn
sy1vanfa towns having been represent
ed BY. larger delegations, the Fairmoiit
party was able to dominate the situa.
!tion from the very start and 1t is safe
to say that this city has not been so
well and So extensively advertised in
many years. and there is every indica.
don that when the conference comes
here about this time next year there
will be between 600, and 1000 Ro-
tarians, many, OF them accompanied
by ladies, in attendance.
When the Fairmont party left here
on the Monongahela railroad Wednes-
day morning 1t was SO weighed down
with baggage that 1t looked like a
camping party about to go for trip
to the woods. There were large pack
ages containing Fairmont stogies nice.

OF POUNDS OF FINE HONEY
KELSEY RAISING THOUSANDS

Frank /. Kelsey of Moorhead this
year will! raise many thousands of
pounds OF fine honey. He states the
ccnditiar,4a1' along this year have
been most favorable TO an excellent
yield. Two years ago he raised
5000 pounds of honey and this year
he has 125 stands. double the num-
Der of stands in 1918, SO that his
yield this year should be twice as
much.
Mr.. Kelsey originally took up bee
and honey culture as hobby. He
is an apiarist thoroughly familiar
with bees and their product, this
knowledge gained, however, after
some costly experiences. One year he
had quite loss from an experiment
and killed Off most OF his bees. Last
year because of the drouth the bees
were hardly more than self-sustain-
ing. Mr.. Kelsey has the machinery
for the manufacture of everything
used in the production of honey. He
has no difficulty IN disposing of the
honey. Two years ago he received
orders from Gillette and Miles City
running many thousands of pounds in
excess of his output.

Monday Afternoon the home of DR..

half miles north of Piniele, was de-
strOyed by fire. Some insurance was
carried on the property, inadequate,
however, to compensate for the loss
of the property and contents. A few
household goods were salvaged.
In the kitchen was a stove and gas
range and Mrs. Craig was using both
of them. Retiring to the bedroom
she returned soon afterwrad to dis
cover the kitchen in flames. No ex-
plosion had been heard and no one
can exactly determine the origin Of
the fire.

other party overlook DIR. Craig on his
way to town. The frame dwelling

the insurance will probably appruxi-
mate $4,000.
