The Convict's
Wife
By WILLIAM FALL


GO. 1921, Western Newspaper Union.)
The Little Gray Lady had left our
boarding house!
1t was all the more astonishing be-
cause she had lived there, so Mrs. Pot
ter said, for fourteen years. She had
occupied that little half bare room of
hers on the top story nearly all of
that time. When she had come, most
of us young fellows had been children
playing Indians and making mud pud-
dings. Nobody had thought that she
would ever leave. She went out every
morning at s 80 to her wOrk-she was
cashier in some office downtown-and
came back promptly at six; she had
no friends; she never went out in the
evening.
We looked at each other in aston
ishment that evening at the dinner ia
BILE when Mrs. Potter told US. No, the
Little Gray Lady had given no expla-
nation. She had merely said, very
sweetly, that she was going away, had
packed her trunk and gone, giving
some address in a modest uptown
street
Perhaps she's gone to get mar
ried," suggested Parsons, a shock
haired youth who sat at Mrs. Potter's
right.
"Mr. Parsons, there isn't any man
worthy of her." said Mrs. Potter Sc
verely, and to that he heartily agreed.
/ remember that night wildly, for
we were all engrossed by the news
that Governor Cowper had pardoned
Melchior Jetley, the murderer. Jetley
had served seventeen years for the
! murder of Sam Briggs. Jetley had re-
Gently married very charming wo-
man, the daughter of fashionable
clergyman of our town. Their short
married life was singularly happy.
They had been married about eighteen
months when Jetley was called West
on business Somebody-some busy
body-sent him telegram which
brought him back in a hurry. He went
home Mrs. Jetley was not there. The
scared maid told him she had gone to
Kings restaurant, frequented by a
rather flashy sporty" set. Jetley
went there in a hanson, entered, saw
his wife seated at table with Sam
Briggs, drinking g. cocktail. Jetley
pulled out a revolver and shot Briggs
dead.
He was tried, sentenced to death,
and had his punishment committed to
Imprisonment for life. After seventeen
years Governor Cowper pardoned him.
And the imprisonment, and the par
don, too, divided society into two hot
~ antagonistic camps.
sLook at it this way" said Parsons
"The man shot a fellow man in cold
blood. The law prescribes a penalty

GARAGE MEN PROSECUTED
Fire Marshal Accuses 40 Proprietors
and SO Are Fined

>. Fire Marshal George w. Elliott has
started campaign against the i'm.
proper use of garages, which resulted
last week In the prosecution OF forty
garage owners and proprietors for vari.
Gus violations. The accused were ar
rnigned before Magistrate Dugan, and
fines were imposed upon thirty two.
Fifty additional prosecutions will be
instituted in few days.
Asked concerning these prosecutions.
Fire Marshal Elliott pointed out that
under an act Of Assembly no gasoline
can be stored anywhere in the city
without license, and under the pro.
vision OF an ordinance no motor driven
vehicle can be stored anywhere within
the city limits until a license is OBJ
tained, and that before license is is
sued the building must be so equipped
that 1t will comply with certain regu-
lations. Garages and automobiles were
the cause bf 517 fires in the city last
year, and the fire marshal is trying to
reduce this hazard.

AsKov PINE COUNTY MINNESOTA THURSDAY
AAMODr pLEAsES

The local Produce Association
held a meeting in the town hall
last Thursday afternoon which
was addressed by A. w. Aamodt,
general manager Of the Mime
sofa Potato Exchange This meet
inc was at first scheduled to be
held on Friday. Jan. lIth. and
the Association had postal cards
printed at the American office
to that effect. From this copy
news item was also made up
and published in the American
announcing that Mr.. Aamodt
would be in Askov on Friday,
Jan. 1ith. The date on the pos
tai cards was scratched and
changed to the 18th owing to the
annual Farm Bureau meeting at
Hnckley on the l4th but the
officers Of the Association failed
to notify the American of the
change they had decided upon
and hence the conflicting dates
and smaller attendance than
had been anticipated.
But if the meeting lacked in
attendance ii did not lack in en-
thusiaem. Mr.. Aamodt showed
that he was not afraid to enter
the enemy's territory by coming
to Askov and had the sympathy
Of the audience with him. Hs
iexplained the workings Of the
| Exchange and what they hat
been up against during thei
. first season hard "bucking' b.
competitors and the task of get
ting we'll organized.
From comment heard since tn
meeting it is apparent that tn
farmers in this community hav
{ confidence in the ability and in
tegrity of Mr.. Aamodt and tina
: they think they have an abl

Mr.. Aamodt acted the part O

= not big enough for the job. MI
Aamodt may not be the best pc
tato man in the country but h
is a bright. alert and shrew
young business man and on
thing must be said about him an
that is that he does not hire

;. farmers and is making headway

S The proposed changes in the
|. constitution and bylaws were
J. then, read by the secretary. A
e few Of the members thought
d that membership in the Farm
e Bureau should be limited to ac-
d tual farmers only. but most Of
a those present were Of the opin-
j. ion that in a county like Pine
n where by far the greatest pcrcen-
c tage Of people are farmers it
,e would make no material differ
encc if business men continue to
be permitted membership as
they are a small minority and
can not engineer" things in
Farm Bureau work If they were
so disposed. The proposal was
voted down. 1t was thought ear
ly enough to make that change
" when there is danger ahead =
st which there really never should
ss be. The new constitution and
rs bylaws make the president of
le each unit in the county a men,
n Der Of the board Of directors Of
W the county Farm Bureau, so the
It directors will thus be more
S. equally distributed over the
,e county and will not be elected at

crctary were unanimously ac-
cepted.
