A Missouri Elopement

People are not in the habit of
paying advertising rates to get
their family troubles in the news
papers these day, say the Boon
vile Republican. but such was
common practice 100 years ago.
The following unique add" is
taken from the Missouri Intelli-
gencer of June 5, 1924:
ELOPMENT
/, Reuben Warson, of Howard
county, Missouri, having with just
cause and good provocation eloped
from the bed and board of my
wife, Rebecca Warson, do hereby
forbid all persons from harboring,
trusting or beating her on my ac-
count, for l am resolved to pay no
debt aud to heal no wound that
she may contract. Having for a
goodly reason lived together in
harmony and great goodfellowship.
this severing of our conjugal bonds
has cost me many a tear and num-
less soporiic potations. But en-
tertaining as l do tender regard
for the Preservation of the rich
covering which nature has clad
her kindly throbbing pericranium,
also Of the inestimable value of my
own pathetic eyeballs, I have
thought it most advisable that we
should tear ourselves asunder.
Oh, Rebecca, as Sterne said unto
the fly he released from his win
dow, $50, poor devil, 20. There
is room enough in the world for
both thee and me-" Therefore,
when thou readest this set thy car
for another and more happy swain
while I roam through the worlo
slipping honey from the bitter
sweet flowers that chance NAV
strew my path.

With Prayer for Success Of Meet

pessimism. Give us the ability to
think clearly, to judge fairly, to act
wisely.
Help us to think less often of our
rights and more often of our duties
and responsibilities.
"We pray at this hour on behalf
of world in sore need. Thou art
not unmindful of the sufferings of
Thy people. The cries of multitudes
of widows and orphans have come
up before Thee, 0 God.
1--WE have had our terrible baptism
of blood. There is hunger and pesti-
lence and unutterable anguish. God
forbid that the woes of these years
should ever again be visited upon the
earth. Can it be that Thou hast
permitted us thus to suffer in, order
that we might turn from our own
devices to Thee and acknowledge
Thee as King of our lives and our
destines? Out of the depths we cry
unto Thee. Save us or we perish.
May we walk softly and humbly
before Thee, this day and throughout
the fateful days of this great CON
ference. May we be intent on know
ing Thy will, and knowing it, may
we have the courage to do it. And
may it be that the findings OF
this conference shall be so wise, so
tar reaching and so beneficial, that
all mankind may take new hope and
fresh courage. And to Thee shall be
the praise and the glory forever and
forever, Amen"

Salvation Army
Tags Bring $1,000
Only $4,000 of Necessary
$4,000 Raised During
Drive.

Tag day for the Salvation Army
on Saturday netted about $1,000
according to H. E. Roulfs, executive
secretary, who has been in charge
of the campaign in Omaha.
The total receipts for the cam
paign which ended Saturday night
were about $500, although the bud
get prepared by the Omaha advis-
ory board this year was $4,000.
The inability to raise the required
amount of funds will necessarily
curtail the relief activities of the
army during the coming year.
Keen appreciation for the assist
ance given by the tag workers Sat
urday was expressed by Mrs.
Charles ]. Hubbard, in active charge
of the work. Due to the cold
weather few were able to remain ac-
tive during the entire day.
l. wish to thank every man,
woman and child who rendered any
aid to the Salvation Army during
our drive" declared Mr.. Roulfs.
The public may rest assured that
every cent obtained will be spent in
the great charitable work which the
Salvation Army undertakes"
IF any individual or firm who ap-
preciates the work OF the Salvation
Army and as yet has not had the
opportunity to contribute we would
appreciate it if checks were mailed
to John Gamble, First National
bank" concluded Mr.. Rou1fs.

Burglars Get $4,000
In Goods From Store

Nebraska City, Neb., Nov. 12.-
Especial. IL. Vessels Sons & Co.. S
dry goods store was robbed of mer-
chandise valued at about $4,000.
Burglars gained entrance through a
rear window and, taking suitcases
from the stock, filled number with
furs, silk hose, waists, leather goods
and mems furnishings. 1t is believed
the thieves were familiar with the
store or that they had assistance
from the inside, as nothing but the
best merchandise was taken.
A large automobile evidently was
used in transporting the loot. A
telephone message from the toll
keeper of the Plattsmouth river
bridge stated that man driving
high-powered car filled with suit
cases crossed the bridge headed to-
ward Omaha shortly after 8 in the
morning. A reward of $500 is of
fered for return of the goods and the
capture and conviction of the burg
lars.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE prayer
with which the armament and far
eastern conference was opened was
offered by the Rev. w. S. Aber-
nethy, pastor of Calvary Baptist
church. Washington, and was as fol-
lows:
Almighty God. we thank Thee for
the coming of this eventful day. We
have seen it from afar and now we
rejoice that it has at last dawned.
May it bring untold blessing to a
troubled world. o, Thou Omnipotent
One, as in other days, we believe
that Thou dost guide in human af-
fairs. Thou hast made of one blood,
all nations that dwell upon the earth
and, though we are of many races
and many tongues, yet the interests
OF the few are the interests of the
larger number. May we feel as
sured that the welfare and happi-
ness and prosperity of the family
are inexpressibly dear to Thy heart.
I'VE pray for clear vision or we
shall grope blindly for the light and
lose our way. We pray for hearts
lovingly sympathetic to human dis
tress wherever it may exist or VIC
shall sink into the depths of the
miserable selfishness.
I'VE pray for minds willing to be-
lieve that the strong ought to bear
the inhrnlities of the weak. or we
shall miss the great joy of service.
We pray for the forward look or
we shall be overwhelmed in hopeless
