The Austrian and the drug glst backed against the wall. The other man glanced wildly about and tugged at heavy revolver in his pock- ct, but the policemen were too quick for him. McNabb's mighty fist sent him hurling backwards; and before he could arise the cuffs snapped on his wrists. The cab driver covered the Austrian and the druggist. both of whom were talking rapidly and excit- edly. Holding the men at bay, Mo Nabb sent the cab driver to get help from the officers on the beat.

Here is our old tractor fast ened on muddy hillside. It is direct ed north. Here, take my hand. Go straight ahead. You will have to take my hand or we will get separated. We have to go straight ahead, then get over a fence, cross another field and my home is almost opposite. We can't steer far wrong If we keep straight ahead"
 But they did go wrong. They came out in the tiny orchard. She knew how to gain the right direction by following 8 lath fence which led to the house. Cautiously she went ahead, then like 8 beacon, she saw dull yellow blot, the light from her kitchen window. She almost fell into the room, dragging the man after her.

Nowadays many persons speak OF a
town or country residence as not being
lighted" if it is without electric light
The dinner to Thomas A. Edison
celebrating the Introduction of electric
light in New York forty years ago calls
attention to the brief history of the
employment Of electricity for lighting.
When it is borne in mind that the
general use of kerosene for lighting
antedated the Institution af electric
lights by not more than twenty-five
years the long survival of the dark age
is more fully realized.
Lard oil and whale oil, tallow and
beeswax were popular illuminants
after the Civil War
rhc famous solar" lamps, patented
in Philadelphia about the middle of the
Nineteenth Century, made the homes
Of wealthy and mxury-loying Ameri-
cans brilliant with lard oil light
about the time the North and the
South were arming for the conflict,
Lighthouses on the coasts, and head
lights upon locomotives, burned the
same illuminant. Afterward safe kero-
serc supplantcd the explosive and much
dreaded coal oil of an earlier period
Triumphs of invention have followed
one another swiftly between the pc
Rod in which candlesticks and candle
snufcrs were a part of the equipment
of every home and this age of pushing
the button.
A home is nowadays might lighted
if it rcioices in nothing more than the
round wicked kerosene lamps which
the preceding generation looked upon
as the glorious solution of the prob
lem Of illumination upon which civ
Hzcd men had worked since the period
when fashions in luxury were set by
Assyrian Kings.

Our state league team won from
Appleton at home Sunday and went
into a tie with Green Bay for leader
ship in the league and then on Monday
beat Green Bay on its home lot and
now leads the league by a full game
over the second team.
Red Meier pitching for Manitowoc
and Schmidt for the invaders were each
touched up for four hits and Schmidt
issued four passes to Nelzer's two.
Only a fair crowd was out.
The crucial test came Monday when
the locals ioumeycd to Green Bay.
The great Dicky Kerr major league
hold-out was billed to pitch but Her
zog wouldn't accept him after pitching
Sunday and Bob Trentman did the
mound duty to satisfaction. He had
twelve strike-outs and no passes lie
was hit safely nine times but kept them
scattered while his team mates made
an even dozen blows of Williams.
In the eighth it was Manitowoc 4,
Green Bay 0, when the home team got
busy and pushed three runs over the
rubber in Trentman'S one bad inning,
Herzog generalship was apparent
throughout the battle.

1t looked last week as though that
spark in the powder magazine of
which Lloyd George warned the world
some time ago, was about to touch on
the explosives scattered all over the
face of Europe. Fortunately, the inn
mediate danger was ayerted by The de
cison of the reparations commission,
acceded to by France with more or less
reluctance, relieving Germany of the
necessity of making any further cash
payments on reparations for the re
mainder of 1922, but defcrring the
question of q moratorium until radical
reforms in Germanys finances are car
ried out,
The danger of q collision is not past,
however by any means. 1t may not
even be ayerted for the short space Of
time encompassed within the less than
four months remaining of the present
year. At any moment something may
happen to throw the mad world into
another armed conflict, the result of
which no person can foresee. These
are not mere words Of pessimism The
horrible possibilities are foresccn, and
warning has been given by men Of wis
dom and vision, and yet the world does
not seem to realize the danger, or
