Little brides singing 'tweet, tweet,'

utter disgust. Bringing his feet down
from the window sill with bang and
rising with huge yawn he stretched
his already long arms to their utmost
As he stood in this position he
looked like some colossal figure sup
plicating the cosmic powers. his mouth
wide in invocation. So thought the
apparition as she opened the door and
stood hesitating on the threshold !!
Ross, crimson. brought himself into
shape, while the man opposite slid the
cuspidor under the desk with his foot.
For the girl in the doorway was the
first human being. other than them
selves, who had opened that door that
door lettered with ornate gilt letter

WALK IN.
The girl stepped into the room and
took the chair proffered by the mo-
mentarily fiustered Ross, while Henry
evaporated toward door marked ''pri-
vate" in severely plain. black letters.
The usual light remarks had been
made, and Ross, taking gasping fly
er into his first taste of business,
asked:
''There is some matter could assist
you In. Miss?
Il came to see justice of the
peace" replied the girl, blushing
wildly.
swell, am Ross Adams. justice Of
the peace"
The girl looked at the floor, bit her
lip and stammered:
"You marry people7"
He took grip on himself and an
swered airily:
"Oh, yes. to be sure, when every
thing appears all right and parties
have the license"
How many people have you mar
ried, Mr.. Adams?"
"Why, er-er-hundreds-o course
never kept count"
"Oh, am so sorry; wanted to be
the first. VIII you marry me?"
Yes. indeed. shall be delighted"
smiled Ross
At this moment the door swung
open and two men. heavily bearded
stalked into the room, and in military
precision took stand on each side of
Ross, while In duet they chanted:
1--WE are witnesses to your promise
to marry this young lady?
With swift back-action swat, Ross
cuffed the pseudo girl soundly across
the cheek, while with lightning speed
he clutched at the mems boards. They
came forth in each hand, but there
also came forth startled yelp In an
Enthusiastically feminine voice from the
girl In the chair. and Ross was staring
Mortified at "Girlie" of college days

denuded of beard.

HOW LONG CAN THE PEOPLE STAND IT

In humble opinion the greatest written
is Victor Hugos LES Miserabes" says the Marion Star
And in that worthy work of fiction is to be found
many valuable truths.
One of the characters of the story is Bishop Myriel
And this good bishop, in delivering a to his
people day, said:
My very dear brethren, my good friends, there are
in France thirteen hundred and twenty
ants houses which have only three openings eighteen
hundred and thousands which have only
openingsthe door and the window and, lastly, three
hundred and fortysix thousand houses with only
opening-the door, All this comes from thing called
the window Just place poor families aged
and little children these then see
the fevers and sickness Alas! God gives
and the law sells it to them"
What the good bishop crying against more
than hundred agois what the civilized
crying out against oday Heavy and many instances
unnecessary and unjust taxes.
America like other civilized lands, is taxridden.
Taxes piled too high upon the shoulders of our
citizenship they burdensome
They work untold hardships.
They rob Peter to pay Paul
We're trying to do too much; and eforts-mis-
conceived and msdirected many tmes-cost too much.
Our city governments extravagant; village
and rural community governments the same.
Our national government is not duly economical; and
the charge be rghteousy be made against
state governments.
Every activity of government is costing too much.
Our oad-building is wasteful and unsatisfactory
Our public buildings, including school buildings cost
too much money.
Our charities entirely generous; we deal too
literally with wards.
We trying to do too much for the people-too
things the people should do for themselves and in
consequence doing the people.
For all these mistakes higher taxes.
And higher taxes mean higher rents.
And higher rents inevitably poorer living con-
ditions And poorer living conditions increased
poverty and i'll health
It's vicious circle following.
To run the affairs of the state of Ohio in 1912 cost
the taxpayers thirteen half million dollars BY
1916 the had nineteen half mil
dollars by 1915 almost three millions;
by 1920, than twenty-nine millions.

How long the people stand it?
