WAR VETERAN
GETS IN TROUBLE
Louis c. Mclaughlin, EH-SOI-
dier, Charged With For
gerry.

Louis L. Mclaughlin, ex-sol-
dier, was placed in Jail here the
latter part of last week on a
forgery charge. Bond was fix
ed at $4,000, which he has
failed to make. Preliminary
hearing was waived and he will
be held for grand jury action.
Mclaughlin had traded some
town lots in Hope to A. l..
Belts, the latter transferring
eighty acres of land to him and
securing balance due with a
mortgage on the land. Mr..
Belts claims there is a balance
due of S2,80O.OO covered by this
mortgage, while the county rec
ords show that Mclaughlin had
the deed recorded and that the
balance due is only $4,000. 1t
is charged that these figures
had been changed on the face
of the mortgage by McLaugh-
lin.
1t is further alleged that the
accused man went to a railroad
man in Hope and tried to sell
him the eighty acres of land and
when he refused to take it ex-
ecuted a deed in his favor any
way. The motive for this is
not clear

A lot Of men think that they have
to buy q girls liking. and that the
way to make a hit Is TO lavish
flowers and candy and thester tick
cts upon girls. This is a mistake.
II is true that there are plenty Of
grating girls who will work a man
for all he is worth, who will take
all. that he will give and hint for
more. but the man who let's himself
be played for an easy thing is a
fool who deserves TO pay the price
Of his folly.
The right sort of girl hasn't a
price tag on her liking, and a man
doesn't win favor in her eyes by
spending more on her than he can
afford. II he does, she has contempt
for him, rather than admiration.
She doesn't want a man. to have to
cat at a lunch counter because he
took her in a taxicab and bought
her American Beauty roses and gave
her a $50 supper after the play. in
stead of taking her on. the street
car and treating her to ice cream.
but neither does she want a tight
wad. dead-beat beau who eats her
dinners and camps on her parlor
chairs and never makes any return.
A girl likes a man who remem-
bers. Goodness knows why, but
women test a mans regard for her
by his memory. and there isn't a
mothers daughter of them that
wouldn't rather have a l0-cent
bunch of sweet peas, because a man
remembered that she said that they
were her favorite flowers, than $50

to popularity than for a man to re-
member the birthdays and the ami
versaries OF the days he first met
women. and the brand of chocolates
they like, and the book they ex-
pressed a desire TO read, and the
kind Of dress they wore on certain
occasions. The average woman
would rather have a picture post

diamond tiara without IL.
Oh, it's easy enough to make q
hit with the girls, son. They are

10 PLEASE THE LADIES

A youth writes me that he greatly
desires to be a riot with the ladies.
and asks me, to tell him some Of the
things that girls like in . man.
Well. first, a girl likes a man to
be looking. This does not
mean that he must have Greek
profile, and ambrosial curls. or dis
play any other mark Of semblance
TO a young Apollo.
Women are not strong for the
beauty stuff in man. They consider
they have a monopoly on that line.
and IL there Is any admiring to be
done. they want the man to hand 1t
to them. They don't want to have
to be telling any male creature
what wonderful eyes he's got. Be-
sides, a living picture man holds
the worlds record for self-conceit.
and he makes a hit with no living
human being but himself.
/ When a girl says that she likes
man to look nice, she means that
she likes q well-groomed man, one
who looks as IL he had an intimate
daily acquaintance with a tub, and
safety razor. and a manicure set.
Furthermore. a girl likes a we'll
dressed man. She likes the man who
wears the right kind of clothes at
the right time and place, who has
sense, and taste. and judgment
enough not to- wear shirts. and
socks, and ties that shrek at each
other, and who does not get him.

A girl likes a man who knows

over her feet and manning her for

ing. for he scented a story.
'I have" replied the criminolo-
gist with smile, and with a brief
pause to compliment you. my dear
Watson on the accuracy and rapid
ity Of your deduction. will proceed
to relate 1t to you, which, take 1t
in my turn, Is what you wish me to
do.
TT is q story of a murder that
occurred upon a night when the
snow was actually obliging enough
to fall. The only trouble was that
the murderer was not equally oblig-
ing. He refused to leave his foot
prints in it.
The victim was George Flush
ing. a young farmer who had lived
by himself since the death of his
wife. His house stood back from
the main road about a hundred feet,
and through the large windows a
clear view of the interior of his sit
ting room could be had from 1t.
Early the evening before there
had been a. heavy fall of snow. 1t
was a wet, soggy snow. Afterward
we traced the faint impressions
George had made that evening as
he went from the barn to the house.
They were faint because the subse-
quent snowfall had all but filled
them up.
1T was about $50 the following
morning when a couple of young
sters on their way to school passed
by the house. They noticed, first.
that one of the sitting room win
dows was open. then that the lamp
was still burning, although II was
broad daylight. and then that some.
thing like the body of a man lay
stretched on the floor.
They found George dead, stretch
ed face down upon the floor. an iron
rod. the point of which had beep
sharpened. sticking between his
shoulder blades. But, there were no
footprints In the snow. How had
the murderer left the house? II
there had been enough snow to take
Geore's footprints when he went
into the house there must have been
enough to take those of the MUIR
derer upon leaving.
