The Spanker and the Law

Charles Barker is a citizen Of Springfield, Mo. He
has an 10 year cid daughter. He gave her a good old
fashioned spanking. She called him a brute and had
him arrested. Springfield has a city attorney. He in
v~estigated. spanker Barker said he resorted to the
spanking because his daughter was too generous with
her kisses to amorous SWANS on the front porch Of
the Barker domicile. The man Of the law dismissed
the complaint. He said It was not brutality In the eyes
OF the law: that It was a family right and that the
head Of the house was acting within the law when
he enforced his right "as the head of the family to
enforce discipline In Missouri they have TO be

her father-in-law. had given the

She thought OF this now, as the
train bearing her back to the scene
OF her brief married life, slowed
for the stop at Old Town. II was
an express but all trains stopped at
Old Town. You could get OF the
fast trains there. but YOU could
not get on them. Irene had little
fear OF meeting anyone she knew
in Old Town.

stacks and stacks of magazines.
She'd bought them all herself and
taken a drawing room besides. But
she did not deny her fellow pas
sengers the pleasure or looking at
her flowers. She kept her drawing
room door open and the flowers on
display during the day. The fruit
was brought to her after meals IN
the dining car. Tea was served 10
her in her room and she sent back
several times for dainties she
thought she would like.

In company on the trip there
were several fascinating young
men who picked up magazines and
opened doors for Irene, who gave
her a seat whenever she appeared
in the crowded club car. though
the only proper place for her on

to mean until Irene had made up
with Gaylord.
Seeing no one she knew Irene en-
tered the small and dingy station
and looked around for a telephone.
There was none in the waiting
room and the station agent was
away.
Across the street there was q

Good Samaritan of 1881 Gets Cold
Shoulder From Travellers ON
Broadway Who Fear His Good
Deed Is Another Racket.
NEW YORK.-For the last time
I have tried to be a good Samaritan
to some OF the younger folk oS-
served roaming the streets.
And I have found that trying to
give something away is one OF the
most difficult and distressing ad-
ventures one can undertake in New
York.

become that they take flight, ike
frightened gazelles, at the mention
OF MISUNDERSTANDING So
often have they heard tales Of

they cannot believe thatla gift,
~proffered by a stranger, has no

question, that there must be some

swindle was going on.
