KNEW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
John, for Once, Thought of an Effec-
tive "Comeback" during a Little
Matrimonial Tiff.

Judge Gary of the United States
Steel corporation was discussing mar
riage.
MANY marriage which began as
pure love match" he said, develops
into an eternal wrangle. Haven't you
seen marriages wherein the contract
ing parties do nothing but argue and
fight and contradict each other over
trifies from daylight until dark?
II remember dining once with such
a menage. When the soup came on
they started an argument about the
price of parlor carpet or some such
ridiculous matter, and the serving of
the fruit saw this argument at it's
height.
'Then the wife interrupted herself
to say to her husband plaintively:
az don't know what would happen,
John, if you ever agreed with me on
any topic
cpd be wrong said John. I'D be
wrong"

ALLOWED FATHER TO HANG

Ceylon, Can.-Evangelistic sermons
held in his home town so stirred Ar
nell Love, twenty-two-year-old farm
er of Ceylon, Canada, that he went
forward and declared to the evangel-
ist, Rev. G. N. Sharpe, that he had
dubbed his mother to- death seven
years ago because she reprimanded
him for keeping bad company"
Loves father, Henry Love, who was
convicted by jury and hanged at
Owen Sound, Ontario, for the crime
seven years ago, was found guilty
principally through the testimony of
his son, who now says he was the MUIR
derer. While on the scaffold the IA
Their made what was believed to be
a confession of his guilt.
The son grew up into manhood a
prosperous farmer, and the tragedy OF
his life was apparently buried in the
Oblivion of the past until he attended
the evangelistic service. He told the
evangelist that he killed his mother
with stick of wood and hid the body
In the cellar. where it was found later.

But Big Checks Convince Skeptics
That There Still Are Honest Men
Only Regret Is He Can't

Chester, PA dapper little man
of so, whose hair was tinged with gray
of battles fought and lost, alighted
from train in this city recently for
the purpose of driving away the clouds
and mist that he feared had enyeloped
his name. He was L. T. Layton of the
one-time brokerage firm of L. T. Lay
ton G. Co. of this city, which occupied
a more or less pretentious office at
Third and Market streets and took All

suit of gold.
The Old Story.
The firms vicissitudes furnished all
the color for the old story. 1t started
out with a promising future, gathered
about it worthwhile and financially
wcll-fixed clientele. and then, just
when skies seemed to be brightest,
broke in the middle. Almost two years
ago L. t. Layton slipped away from
here, dismayed and downcast, after he
had paid to most of his creditors. In
that last vain effort that q falling man
makes, something like so cents on the
dollar.
But L. 7. Layton came back here
from his home in Philadelphia to pay
to those creditors every penny that he
owed them. Prominent business and
professional men who had lost varying
sums of money by the failure of the
brokerage firm gathered together to
receive payment in full. There were
a dozen or more in all, six of them
physicians, and the total reimburse
.uent was approximately $4,000.
Not Legally Indebted.
One of the creditors who vouchsafed
the information thought it was fairy
story or hoax when he received a
mysterious message that a gentleman
was in town who had check for $500
or 5000 for him. 1t came from the
office of doctor, a friend, over the

When J. X. Pauling was secretary
of the navy he wrote to the postmaster
of small village in the South as fol-
lows: "Sir: This department wishes to
know how far the Tombigbee river
runs up" The answer came back: ut
don't. 1t runs down." The postmaster
general was informed of the affair and
failed to see the humor of it. He wrote
a letter to the postmaster that said !:
"Sir: Your appointment as postmaster
is hereby revoked. You will turn over
funds, ETC., pertaining to your office to
your successor"
In no wise put out the postmaster

was no legal Indebtedness ON the part
of L. T. Layton, the man who came
back" to pay anybody, for when he
left here he had releases in full from
all his creditors.
1t took about two hours to get
through with the usual business trans
