Tardy Gift

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please help me in
composing a little note which
1 am going to enclose with a
wedding gift? This gift should
have been sent out about six
months ago, but as money is
not so very plentiful, I just
had to hold everything.
I really am ashamed Of my
self for having had to wait
this long, so I thought perhaps
if enclosed a note offering
an apology and so forth that
maybe they wouldn't think so
hard Of me, or do you think
this is very silly" w.
No, indeed I don't think
that this is SILLY" Instead
admire very much your forth
right explanation to me 9.
and I am sure that they will
Just as much, more even. ap-
preciate your forthrightneSS
with them.
Depression has made budget
GERS Of us all, and nowadays
everyone Is understanding
about the necessity Of having
to hold everything" $50 don't

feel a bit self conscious about
this tardy present. Perhaps
you'd like to write q note
worded something like this:
Dear Sally:
I wonder If you'd be so kind
to me as to understand my late
sending Of your wedding pres
ent? Here it is, the gift that
should have been sent several
months ago, but it comes to
you, dearest Sally, with a heart
full of love and all dearest
wishes to you, and a gentle plea
that you will forgive its tardi-
ness. I wanted to give you just
this gift. and it couldn't be
done before. And I'm so sure Of
your dear friendship that I just
know that it won't make the
least bit of difference to you, so
long as it comes to you, as 1t GER
tainly does, "packaged with my
love-" And hope that it will
find a place in your new home
in which it can be useful.
Dearest Of love to you and
Jack, and please let me see you
soon. May I?

You should light the match of
enthusiasm with the fire of
energy. The success of your city
viii be in direct proportion to the
interest your citizens put into its
development.
If the government goes into
business in competition with its
citizens. if it goes into the rail-
road and utility business and con-
tinues in the printing business,
who win pay the taxes to make up
for this loss? The government
pays no taxes on the property it
owns.
You should keep your money at
home. Buy merchandise made or
sold in your home town.
Economy is q fine thing when
joined to wise expenditure.
These are competitive times. It
is invariably the business concern
who uses continuous advertising
that gets the business.
To put a man in office because
he is a good fellow" is an ex-
pensive bit of folly.
A Chamber of Commerce is
working all the time to make
every dream and ambition Of the
homs city come true.
People are interested in read
ing newspaper advertisements
when their pockets are bullying
with money to spend. They are
intensely. interested when what
they spend must be carefully
spent.
Now is the time to change
fxowns for smiles
The building of better roads is
not only a matter of convenience,
but a matter of economy.
Dollars spent at home are the

ed on high authority today.
Information received by the
international labor office showed
that Japan's trade is expanding
at an unprecedented rate in the
face of the worst economic crls.S
the world has ever experienced.
Japan's exports to South Amer
lea alone Jumped 220 per cent
in the first half of 1888, COM
pared with the first six months
of 1881.
Japanese exports to the Uni
ted States and Europe increas-
ed roughly 30 per cent, while
her exports to markets in Asia
increased 60 per cent in the same
comparative period.
Alarmed by this situation
members of the League of Ma
tions asked that its affiliate, the
international labor office, make
study of the problem Of Japa-

feared, may become one of the
causes of a new world conflict

DR.. WYNEK00P
CASE CALLED
Indications Are State May
Ask For First Degree
Murder Verdict

CHICAGO, Jan. ~. (UP)-
Calmly, almost as if she were
unconcerned, Dr.. Alice Lindsay
Wynekoop went on trial in Grim
inal court yesterday charged with
numbering her pretty, 23-year-
old daughter-in-law. Rheta Gard
ner Wynekoop. The state indi-
Gated it would demand the death
penalty.
The defendant maintained the
professional poise that marked
her long career administering to
the needs of others, while around
her crowded courtroom of
spectators sat motionlessly tense.
Outside 5000 women howled for
admission.
Carefully she was wheeled
through the tunnel leading from
the jail to the gray stone build
ing. An elevator whisked her to
the fifth floor and bailifs car
ried her to a special chair. A
nurse was at her side.
Judge Joseph B. David, small
and swarthy. entered briskly. The
veniremen had been sent from
the room.
The clerk of the court droned
"The people Of the state Of Hi
nois versus Alice Lindsay Wyne-
keep" The indictment charging
first degree murder was read.
Judge David leaned over his
high desk and asked, not unkind-
ly, edo you plead guilty or not
guilty."
"Not guilty, your honor" the
frail, 62-year-old woman ans
wered in a subdued voice that
carried but a few feet in the
breathlessly quiet room.
Seated beside her, tensely sOli-
citious, were her daughter, DR..
Catherine Wynekoop, and son,
Walker. Earle, admitted philand-
ering husband Of the slain wo-
man, who had sworn to devote
his life to clearing his mother,
was absent.
Judge David halted the trial
and ordered bailiffs to clear the
corridors. He directed that ad-
mission to the courtroom be by
card only.
Questioning Of a special ven
ire proceeded. Assistant States
Attorney Charles Dougherty gave
the first definite assurance the
state would demand the death
penalty.

4 BREVARD MEN
STILL FACING
PRISON TERMS
Ehringhaus Denies Glenn
ency; Says "String"
Attached To Bonds
JUDGE SAYS MEN HAVE
FILLED ALL DEMANDS

RALEIGH, Jan. 12.-Governo:
J. c. b Ehringhaus Thursday for
second time denied clemency for
four Pennsylvania county men,
and unless the executive changes
his attitude in the matter of the
defendants, T. J. Shipman, Joseph
Pickelsimer, Ralph R. Fisher and
c. r. McNcely must serve two
years for using Transylvanil
.county's credit to bolster up the
Brcvard Banking company at Il
critical time.
In March Of 1898, Tyre Taylor,
representing Governor Ehring-
haus conducted a public hearing
in the case, and not single pro-
test was made against the pro-
posed pardon. 1t was generally as
sumcd then that the four men
would be granted pardonS. But
last Saturday the governor an
nounccd these pardons would no.
be granted. More than 300 per-
sons attended this hearing last
year.
Yesterday. at a lengthy hearing
held here. the governor again de-
MED clemency, despite the fact
that Judge n. A. Townsend, who
heard the case in Brcvard. took
the position that study of the
record convinced him the men did
not deserve prison sentence. His
ruling was that if the men would
make restitution in the sum OF
$4,000 that he would recommend
pardons. Bonds in this amount
were placed by the defendants
with the clerk of the Pennsylvania
county court. The governor and
Commissioner of Paroles Edwin
