FIFTY YEARS IN PRISON.
GAINESVILLE Gazette)

Fifty years ago there was railroad
just being completed and operated
through Peshtigo and north. 1t was a
year after the fire which had devas-
tated the small saw mill town and the
horror of the forest fires was still fresh
in the minds Of the people, while the
scars were everywhere visible. From
sunshine and freedom a young man of
this village was taken to Waupun state

There was only a great stretch of will

! is it that we hesitate to confess ignor-
ance of book, particularly a recent

own reading than to be pushed into it,
as it were, by the queries of Jour su-

DOGS.
Novelty is the newspaper mans guage
for the measurement of feature news
values. That is why the report from
Dowagiac of a dog which was badly
hurt in driving off a mad bull that at
tackled his mistress was less interesting
than the story from SCOTS Bluff, Neb.,
Of a man who jumped into a swift
stream in an effort to save his dog and
was drowned. 1t is common occurrence
for dogs to risk their lives to save HUI
man beings. 1t isn't common for hu-
mans to take chances to save dogs. Per
haps that is as it should be. Perhaps
it is foolish for a man to risk his life
for a dog. But it is poor rule that
won't work both ways. More and more
you are likely to hear of dogs saving
men these days.
Canine pets are returning to popu-
larity. For this fact many reasons might
be given, of which the dogs value as
nightwatch and as a companion for
children will be the chief. Whatever the
reason we may be sure that every dog
taken into a home as a pet must justify
itself to assure a pillow in the corner
and food. That isn't always true of hui
mans. When you see a man on the
street you can't always be sure that he
has earned the right to exist by accom-
plishing worthwhile deeds, by being a
kind father, by serving his community or
by earning respect of those about him.
But whenever you see a dog these days
you can mark that dog down as some
body's friend. Somebody thinks enough
of him to pay the license tax and pro-
vide him with bones. Maybe that is
why the average of heroes and trust
worthy friends among dogs is high.
Dogs have to justify themselves from
the moment of their first appearance
in this world.-Grand Rapids Herald.

MISS LEAKE GIVES
PIANO RECITAL

Miss Henrietta Leake, pianiste
played well selected program before
a very appreciative audience which
filled her home studio Wednesday eve
ming. This recital marked the close of a
years Study with Prof. w. L. Calhoun
of Carthage, and demonstrated the
progress made during that time.
Every note from the opening bars
of the Bach Prelude to the closing
chord which closed the Caprice
Espagnol by Moszkowski told tale
of patient industry and intense con-
centration.
The young artist showed thorough
appreciation of tone values and bal
ance of parts. The nuances were
musical and the shading was nicely
done. With adequate tecnic the
extremely soft passage as well as
those demanding great power were
well controlled.
Miss Fern Hepburn, contralto, con-
tributed to the charm of the program
with two groups of songs. Her voice
showed a remarkable growth and
ripening and her singing was
characterized by understanding, taste
and control. Her unusual range and
type of voice, with which local music
lovers are familiar, showed at its best.
The audience was extremely atten-
tive and sympathetic and voiced its
appreciation with spontaneous ap-
plause.
Miss Leake will resume her studies
at the University of Missouri next
week which she dropped year ago
to do work which eliminated in last
evenings recital.
Miss Leake will appear in recital
on tomorrow evening in Peirce City
for a benefit of the Peirce City
schools.

INVITATION MEET
AfOnett NOsed Out of Winning Garth

Several Records Broken.

Springfield high school won the an
nual invitation track and field meet
held by the Carthage high school
FRIDAY afternoon, by nosing out Mo-
nett by two points, Monett was sec
bnd and Joplin ranked as third in the

not the fastest high school track

broke the record for the half mile,
making it in minutes ana seconds.
Walter Reynaud of Monett estab-
lished new records in both high and
low hurdles. These records were
made in the preliminaries, however.
The time for them was l6 1-5 seconds
and 26 2-5 seconds.
Probably the most unusual event of
The meet was tie between Spring
field, Joplin and Monet on the relay
race, It was unusual because of the
fact that three schools tied and also
that the race was such a fast one. The
time on this half mile race was min
ute and 81 seconds. The points on the
race were split and this gave three
points to each school. Freeman, of
Springfield and Allen, of Joplin, tied
in points for the first place. Walter

MISSOURI PACIFIC MAY
BUY III. & N. A. RAILROAD

! Springfield, April 20.-Belief that
the Missouri Pacific may purchase
| the stock to be issued by the recently
reorganized Missouri and North Ar
kansas Railway Co has been strength
ened by trip of inspection which
started yesterday over the M. & N.
A. line by high operating officials of
the, big trunk line system, but no con-
firmation of the rumor is obtainable
at st. Louis or Little Rock.
1t is generally understood in
railroad circles that the Missouri Pa
cific will either "buy into" the Mis-
souri, and North Arkansas or will
perfect exceptionally close traffic re-
lations with the smaller road, and this
understanding is given additional
basis because of the presence of
General Manager J. F, Murphy, Chief
Engineer E. A. Hadley, and General
Superintendent w. E. Brooks of the
southern district, all Missouri Pacific
operating officials.
The Missouri Pacific officials spent
much time along that portion of the
Missouri and North Arkansas line ex-
tending from Kensett to Helena,
much time being spent in examination
of the yards at Kensett. Then the
party left for Joplin, Mo, to start
their inspection Of the northern end of
the Missouri and North Arkansas line
The Missouri Pacific officials are
being piloted by high officials of the
Missouri and North Arkansas, but
none of these have had any statement
to make relative to the visit of the
Missouri Pacific officials.
Whatever the outcome of the in
spection trip, no definite announce
ment is expected until after high
officials of the Missouri Pacific at St.
Louis have received and considered
the reports to be made by the officials
taking part in the inspection trip.

that it would be the last night con-

are free from static and conditions
are perfect for radio concerts.
