To "Hard Luck"

Tho young girl treated you very badly
not to dance with you at all at the
party after YOU had taken her to II.
And her rudeness in putting you aside
for n comparative stranger to take her
home was quite objectionable. You
had every right to be angry and to
demand an explanation. Of course. you
should not have been unEontlemanly in
your anger 1t does not seem a case Of
jealousy to cynthia. Her advice IS,
keep quiet and let the girl severely
alone. Shell soon como around. and
if she does not don't worry. You're
too youug TO be in love, anyhow.

SUE HOUSE OF DAVID.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Nov. AT
lacking the methods under which the
House Of David, at Bentor Harbor,
Mich, are conducted, John w. Hansel
and his wife, Mary, formerly of Nash
vile, Tenn, expelled as members of
the cult last December, have brought
suit in district court to regain posses
sion of property they signed over TO
the society when they became afiliat-
ed. Mr.. and Mrs. Hansel, who have
six children, two girls and four boys,
also seek compensation for their ser
vices while members of the colony
Their charges said to be based upon
their experiences from 1906 until date
Of their expulsion, include:
That the moral conditions at the
colony are so bad that il is an unfit
place to rear children; that the atti-
tude Of the colony's leaders toward
the females of the colony is abnormal,
immoral and n-Christian, and that in
l8 years no child conceived in the colo
ny has ever been known to have been
born there; that wholesale marriages
are made among the members, but the
persons so married are never permit
ted to live. together; that the House
of David is a fraud, conducted under
the cloak of religion; that members of
the colony, after signing away their
worldly possessions to the leaders,
Benjamin and Mary, are underfed, I'M
derclothed and overworked, and that
no compensation for their manuel SER

IN MEMORY.

Little Freeman King Scott, son of
Mr.. and RMS. Luna Scott, was born
Aug. IL, 1917 and died Oct. 2, 1921,
aged four years, one month and q
days.
We loved little Freeman
Yes we loved him,
And Angels loved him more,
And they have sweetly called him
To yonder smiling shore.
The Golden Gates were open,
A gentle voice said come
And with farewells unspoken,
He calmly entered home.
Yes, the little schair is empty now;
The little clothes laid by.
A fathers hope, mothers joy,
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
He was lovely bud,
So young and so fair.
Called hence by early dawn;
just come to show how sweet a
flower
In paradice would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And bud and blossom there.
We Know we can't call him back
even if we could, but we want to say
to the ones that loved his bright
smiling face to prepare to meet him
in Heaven.
Written by his aunt.

DEVOTED BUT UNFORTUNATE
FAMILY.

Two years ago Mrs F.. H. Latham,
wife of Conductor Latham, went West
for her health and it developed that
she could not again live in this eli
mate, so she and her four children
were forced to remain at Golden,
Colorado, and during the entire illness
of Mrs. Latham her second daughter,
Miss Lindel, II years of age has eff
GENTLY acted as nurse. Recently Mrs.
Latham went to Denver and there had
one of her breasts removed on ac-
count of tumor thereon and on last
Monday when riding on the Perryville
Branch, Conductor Latham informed
us that his wife expected to be able
to leave Denver last Friday to return
to her enforced home at Golden. Mr..
Latham, who is devoted to his family
goes twice a year to visit them in
Colorado and the balance of the time
stays here 'hitting the ball to meet
all emergencies. The condition and
manner of living of the Latham fam
lily is one of great misfortune and in
convenience, yet they are devoted to
each other.
