was on a campaign badge he gave

the badge was brown with age.

ever heard of a cat that boxes?
Sheriff f. R. Trathen is the owner
of the pugilistic feline.
The cat, a heavyweight for the

on its hind feet and wag a paw
for paw war with the sheriff.
Plans are under way to find an
other such animal, so the first cat

had decided perversely never to
relinquish his name.
"T'LL make Mrs. Leslie Carter
Il known, even though Leslie
Carter isn't" she had told him,
and she continued in the deter
mination even after she was mar
ried again.
The break with Belasco came
when she motored out to Ports
mouth, N. H, and there, without
previous announcement of her
plan, married William Louis
Payne, an actor who was no great
shakes. She was 48 and he was IS.
In the second phaze of her pub
lie appearance she touched a few
heights and lot of depths. In
Rupert Hughes 1.-TWO Women"
at the Lyric theater in 1910, she
took sixty-eight curtain calls and
then opened great box of roses
from an anonymous sender who
wrote: with admiration for a
good fighter"
She scored with Madame X"
"The Gay Lord Quex" and THE
Second Mrs. Tanqueray."
No longer ago than 1921 she
gave what critics said was her
finest performance. Arch Sell
wynn had come back from England
with Somerset Maugham's So
phisticated comedy, THE Circle"
and Mrs. Carter played that lady
of generous affections, Lady Kitty.
The critics gave her credit for.
SubtletieS which, in the old days,
never had been her forte. She
made Lady Kitty delectable and
dilltante.
The paths beyond were not so
bright. They led into bankruptcy
courts and into doldrumS. They
branched to the Bronx, where she
was Mother Goddam. again in
THE Shanghai Gesture" in 1928,
and last year to Mt Vernon, where
she was Stella Dallas.
The feud with Belasco, after
twenty-five years, was ended last
spring a little while before his
death. They met by chance in
Los Angeles, after she had taken
the initiative in amenity and had
sent him a note when he was i'll.
He was good enough she ex-
planned, to say that our quarrel
was all his fault

Sensible Way to
Lose Fat

Start taking Kruschen Salts to-
day-that's the common sense, safe,
harmless way to reduce.
This is what they do-they clean
out the impurities in your blood by
keeping the bowels, kidneys and
liver in splendid working shape and
fill you with a vigor and tirelesS
energy you'd most forgotten had ex-
isted
As result, instead of planting your
self in an easy chair every free mo-
ment and letting tlabby fat accumulate
you feel an urge for activity that keeps
you moving around doing the things
you've always wanted 10 do and needed
TO do TO keep you in good condition.
Be careful of the foods YOU eat-go
light on fatty meats and pastry-then
watch the pounds slide off.
Take one half teaspoonful in a glass
of hot water tomorrow morning and
every morning--and if they don't
change your whole idea about reduce
ing go back and get the small price
you paiC for them. Get a bottle of
kruschen Salts-lasts weeks-at any
progressive druggist anywhere in the
world-the cost is little--the benefits
great-but be sure and get Kruschen-
for your healths sake-it's the SAFE.

CARRY GRANT COUNTY
TAX FIGHT TO COURTS
State Board Order Is Opposed; Suit
Filed Before Circuit Judge Here.

Fight to enjoin the state tax
board from enforcing an order for
a horizontal increase in Grant
county property assessments was
begun in Marion circuit court Mon
day by Edgar A. Couple, Grant
county taxpayer.
He filed suit attacking the
boards order increasing land and
lot valuations in tn county's rural
districts 20 per cent, rural district
improvements Is per cent and city
and town valuations 10 per cent.
The Grant county board of re-
view refused to make the increases
Aug. II, although ordered to do so
by the state board. A second order
asks the court to mandate the board
to certify transcript of its pro-
ceedings to the Grant circuit court,
where taxpayers are perfecting an
appeal from the boards order.

colored her career through all the
later years.
"zaza" and "Du Barry" and
Mrs. Carter got into the common
speech interchangeably. She and
they were symbols of a new public
admission that there are two sexes
and consequences.

miere disconnected post McKin-
ley Washington.
In what was then regarded in
awe as a sumptuous reproduction
of the court of Louis XIV, she, a
lowly millloner'S daughter, won
the favor of the king.
"She became the Countess Du

BY the time she got to New
York two weeks later and snugly
into the Garrick the critics we're
believing that her acting eclipsed
Mr.. Belasco's play. The New
York Herald put it:
''She is a fascinating actress.
She has outgrown Mr.. Belasco
both as teacher of acting and
as maker of plays"
But her way and his did not
part for seventeen years. He saw
her through triumphs and fail
ures. He brought her out usually
in some thing light, but sometimes
in tragedy.
In "Adrea" in 1905 he even
let her commit murder on the
stage; she killed her lover to save
him the ignominy Of the death she
had ordered when she doomed
him to extinction beneath the
hoofs of horses on a cobbled
street beside the Adriatic sea.
Their separation divided the two
phases of her career, one under
his direction and good stars, and
the other as her own producer and
in association with others under a
variable zodiac.
They quarreled when she mar
ried the second time. AS a girl

Carter, a young Chicago million
aire, in 1880. They had one child
and a few years of pleasant illu-

But their marriage had ended
in divorce. He had been given a
decree in 1889 and custody of the
child.

IT SAW before me-" said David
L Belasco long afterward, "a
pale. slender girl with a mass of
red hair and green eyes cleaning
under black broWs.
She began to cry and then she
smiled. Her gestures were full of
unconscious grace and her voice
vibrated with musical sweetness.
Dear, dear"
1t was Mrs. Leslie Carter, law
ender memory now, but once the
toast of champagne New York,
who thus upset him.
She had come up from Ken
lucky to Echo lake, divorce, an
impetuous youngster adrift, who
never had set foot on a stage, to
tell him she wanted to be star,
to implore him to give her
chance on the tabled Broadway
of 1888.

she, also long afterWard, recalled.
Il was bedraggled and frightened.
I guess it was desperation in my
voice that made him relent and
listen to me-"
For ne did relent. He relented
so genuinely that for three years
thereafter he had her mumming
by herself, day in and out, in
studio in Carnegie hall before he
let the footlights shine on her.
He set out to fulfill her am
bition-to star her in her first
appearance.
He made me learn dozens of
things-Little Eva, &Lady Macbeth,
Ophelia. I knew each role in the
Sheridan comedies. He'd come
and call for a certain scene. Then
he'd commend or condemn. He

That was the preface of one of
the most glamorous lifetimes ever
lived on the stage.

IT catapulted the girl from
Il Kentucky into a career that
made her the despair of the young
blades from San Francisco to

TWO SLUCGED,

SAFE ROBBERY
Band of Three YeggS Crack
Strong Box of Meier

Smuggling two employees uncon-
scious and binding two others, three
bandits early today blew open with
nitroglycerin the safe of the Meier

currency and checks.
The bandits entered the plant
shortly after midnight and surpris-
ing Joseph Puryear, 1912 West

Louis Dawson, $40 Abbott street,
night clerk at work, bound and
gagged them.
AS the bandits finished with Pur-

Wilson said he thought the man
who drew a gun and said, Hands

ly playing joke.
AS Wilson started to take off his
glasses, the bandit stunned him
with a blow from a gun butt and
pressing the revolver against Will
sons ribs, warned him, I'll shoot
if you try to get look at me-"
Wilson was bound and the bandits
then attacked the combination of
the safe with a sledge hammer and
poured in only enough soup" to
blow the outer safe doors with a
minimum of noise. The inner doors
were not locked.
Descriptions Indefinite
Due to elaborate precautions
taken by the bandits to prevent
their victims from getting more
than quick glances at the intruders,
employees were able to give police
only indefinite descriptions.
a suspect arrested on information
supplied police by a taxi driver
who picked up three men at Morris

were asked to check on the Chicago

exact amount of cash taken.

ment. actually is in charge of acci-
dent prevention work, with Owen
