Margie had been shocked into a
swoon. Her house was not far away,
and O'MaIly walked there, but he had
no recollection of it afterward. The
terrific fall had stunned him. He felt
no pain at all from a fractured collar
bone. He had but one blind instinct
to get this child to her home. and
then to go to his own cottage and lie
down. He did not even remember
turning little Miss Sunshine over to
her mother. nor Of starting to de-
scend the narrow stairs that led to
the street. But what happened i'm

torpor. Half way down the stairs he
came across his handouts where they
had fallen from his pocket, and he
bent to pick them up. The effort

they had been that day in the court
room when the threat was uttered
and answered.
To young Danny, chastened and
hopeful, but fresh from Greenbow,
officer O'Malley's presence meant but
one thing. The handouts confirmed
it. They weren't going to let him
even see his family. His release was

Lincoln stated that he was ever
greatly concerned that people did not
clearly understand the meaning Of
words Their inaccuracy as to word
content and their hazy impressions of
things observed was a source of real
distress to him. In the practice of
law, this mental turbidity had been
only too frequently met with by the
great statesman. Consequently, he
labored always to say accurately and
simply what he expressed. in order
that those who read his thoughts or
listened to them might, with nice
precision, grasp his ideas.
Lincoln was not only concerned
with this carelessness in reading and
in observation, but he was burdened
with it. He would have agreed whole
heart tedly with the head of the de-
partment of expression in one of the
large universities in the Midwest,
who declared recently that the ma
jority never receive from the printed
page the exact meaning of the writer
and, in addition, attributed the major
part Of all failures in school and col
Iege to this inability to understand
clearly what one reads and sees.
Since science is dedicated to truth,
to nelIucid understanding of laws and

National Academy of Sciences, whose
charter was signed by Abraham Lin

to the temple that enshrines his
spirit! Before going to his memorial
one should stand beneath the dome of
the academy and read that master
piece of wisdom from Aeschylus'
'.Prometheus Bound" that, like an in

science, Of exact research in the field
of truth. Beneath the mural that so

came from letter written in India
by a world traveller who said bar
renly: Il have seen the Tai Mahar--

nothing lovelier carved in marble,
than which there is nothing so ex-

and immemorial love. He had seen
the Tai Mahal! Every one goes to the
Tai Mahal, so he went, that he
might say namely that he had seen it.
Did none of its aching, haunting
beauty, its ageless memory and
changeless loyalty mean anything TO
him? One could sit at home and read

to it's unforgetable perfection, though
10000 miles separated him from that
minareted dream that lifts itself into
the golden moonlight in Agra or an

1t Will be recalled that while the
Lincoln Memorial was not quite ready
to be opened to the public, passes
were granted by the director of public
buildings and grounds to those who
probably would not be in the city
after the dedication and formal open
ing. Toward the close of this period, It
became most difficult to secure a pass,
and often 1t was secured only through
the Intervention of some person OF
influence, the pass then becoming a
sort of special privilege.

Milwaukee Police Working
Hard to Find Slayers of
City Detective.
SEEK TWO SUSPECTS
Meager Description From By
stander All There Is
to, Go On.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Police continued
the hunt today for the slayer of Harry
w. Schmidt, police detective, who was
shot and instantly killed Saturday at
8 go p. m. in the heart of the down
occurred but a half block from one
of the busiest streets in the city, only
one man was near enough to give the
police a description of the two men
who are believed to have killed
Schmidt
The cause of the shooting is closed
book. Schmidt was in plain clothes
and according to headquarters had
been trailing two men whom he sus-
lpected of being automobile thieves.
The same authorities said today it was
believed that the men Schmidt ac-
costed had a record of a more serious
crime than stealing automobiles, and
shot to prevent being taken to the
station for questioning.
At hospital where Schmidt's body
was taken, physicians said the bullet
was fred from a gun held not more
than three feet from the detectives
body.
With only slender clues to work
with, the police have questioned many
persons who have been picked up
since the killing, but have released
the suspects, each being able to prove
that he is not the one who shot
Schmidt.
Taxicab Driver Gives Information.
Police today had the first definite
clue in their search for man who
shot and killed Detective Harry
Schmidt early Sunday night in the
heart of the down town section here.
e. j. Edwards, taxicab driver, told
authorities that he had picked up a
passenger few blocks from the place
where the shooting occurred. The
man appeared to be slightly intoxi-
Gated and according to Edwards era
ried pistol. He ordered the cab driv-
en- to the west side, and stopped at a
saloon. Just before entering the
place he handed the pistol to Edwards
saying "take this before get some
one else with it."
ST told him to put it away before
We both got into trouble" Edwards is
said to have told the police.
The proprietor Of the saloon which
the man entered told the police that
he had been seen about the saloon,
and that he had said he lived in
Chicago.
Smith In Partners Place.
It developed that Schmidt was re-
lieving his working partner, Detective
John Riley, Saturday night. Riley
had asked Schmidt to exchange his
night off duty, saying he wanted to
visit his parents over the weekend.
Under the normal routine of the po-
lice department Schmidt would have
been off duty Saturday night. The
man for whom the police are now
searching is said to answer the de-
scription given the police early Sat
urday. He is said to have a brother
in Chicago, but his name is unknown
to those with whom he associated dur
ing his stay here.

a score lost their lives.
At West Frankfort, still further
east, the storm missed the central
and business part Of town by about
half mile, which accounts for the
fact that that city, the largest in the
track Of the storm, did not suffer as
heavy a loss as Murphysboro.
Increased It's Fury.
Up to the time West Frankfort was
reached, DAMAGE to the rural districts
had been comparatively small, partly
due to the fact that the storm struck
where residents were few or passed
over them entirely. East of West
Frankfort, however, conditions were
reversed and except for the little
hamlet of Parrish. which was practi-
caliy annihilated, the largest loss of
life and property occurred in the rural
districts about the towns Of Carmi,

In the sections struck, a scene Of al

ED H. ", Grand View hotel, Niagara,
Wis. P. S. And please answer or
will soon be in my grave, for there
is nothing for me to live for without
you, Little Baby"
This was the letter written by a
divorced husband to the wife who di-
vorced him. She, Annie Novak, has
secured a divorce from him, Henry
Novack, in the municipal court of
KeRosha county, ku5 having won her
once, and lost her, ne persuaded hlm-
self that he could win her again.
!, 1t Was a "Hot-DOg" Case.
When the suit was tried here, it
attracted some attention because of
Novack's profession, he being shot
dog wagon" proprietor, and his wife
making divers unfiattering compli-
ments to his manner of doing bust
ness.
She said in her complaint in the
original divorce action that her hus-
band had opened "hot-dog" stand in
Milwaukee, going into debt to the ex-
tent of $1,000, and that he gave her a
job in the place.
Here the complaint reads: Judging
from the elaborate manner in which
said stand was furnished and by the
few customers who were enticed
therein by the display of grandeur,
defendant to all appearances, was put
ting on the dog" for the hot ones he
sold were very few.
She Rubbed 1t In Some More.
Mrs. Novack had some further
secrets of the trade to Seveal, and she
went on as follows:9
"As a restaurateur, defendant is
a good cook and the gross receipts
ranged from, 80 cents to So per day,
while the profits from the sale of
said 'hot-dog amounted to about
zero; and when more than one hot
dog was ordered at the same time,
defendant became very much excited
by the rush of business, and would
swear and curse at the plaintiff, and
treat her rather 'coldly', whenever she
inquired if the dogs were hot
enough to serve"
Novak contested the divorce action,
and in his answer stated that he al
ways loved the plaintiff and still loved
her, and said that he was ready to
share with the plaintiff what he could
earn, and provide for her to the best
of his ability. "Wherefor," concluded
his answer, defendant prays judgment
that the said complaint be dismissed"
Annie Novak, however, was granted
a divorce. Henry Novak didt not rest
until he had succeeded in wooing and
winning her again.
He did succeed, and by stipula-
ton signed by both parties, the judg-'
ment in the municipal court was set
aside, and the pair reunited.
