ODD BITS OF NEWS.
.
Swoyersvllle. Pa. Justice of the
Peace Henry Miller, of this place, was
so angry st the defiant snd unrepent
ant attitude of s wife beater on trial
before him that he peeled his coat
and sailed Into the defendant When
court adjourned the wife beater was
so battered that his best friend would
not recognize him. Also he was hum
ble snd repentant.
Flfleld. Wis. Kept alive for two
days by association with two beer
cubs snd their mother. Baby Ball, the
two-year-old son of a settler north of
here, was found late st night recent
ly, asleep In the underbrush and.
though starving, was not suffering1
from exposure. The searchers saw the
signs of bears near where the child
was found, and old woodsmen declar
ed that the babe was kept alive by
sleeping with cubs and their mother.
All that the child can say Is: "Big
doggie plsy; baby hungry."
Cincinnati. Ohio. The Methodic
Ministers' Association has formed a
secret body of 100 men, who will re
port to parents snd employers the
names of all young persons attending
dances, theaters, etc., thought to be j
Improper. The Investigators are vol
unteer". They will report, also, all
other law violations they discover.
Fort Smith. Ark. This state's brand
new prohibition law Is already a dead
letter here. Because the saloonlsts
have secured Federal, State and
County licenses, but under the new
prohibition law can not be granted
city licenses. It was agreed at a con
ference that they shall be fined by
the city II day, payable every ten
days. The new prohibition law for
bids the granting of any more saloon
licenses. Before It wss signed Fort
Smith saloonlsts had secured all their
licenses save those from the city.
Mayor Read, in police court, told the
saloonlsts thst although he Is a pro
hibltlonlstt, he did not believe the
city had a moral right to close the i
loons under existing conditions.

A choice bit of goaxlp has been go
Ing the rounda for the past week. The
principal parties connected with the
affair are well known, which makes
the story all the more sensational,
husband and wife are mixed up In th
scandal, and what makes It doubly
startling Is the fact that each of them
haa always hsd the entire respect of
the community. As a matter of fact
the bomb exploded at the home of this
couple st the very moment st which
there hsd arrived at their house
party of twenty or twenty-five of our
best people, who had gone there to
surprise the couple on their wedillm
anniversary. Neither of the principals
expected company. The astonishment
of the visitors may he Imagined when
they heard the husband call his wife
down. He made no bonea of It. It
waa done openly and without even
hint of apology to the guests. The
shocking part of It I the fact that
every one, even the closest friends of
the couple, hsd no Idea but that their
home lite was Ideal. N evert helw
and we have the best of authority fo
the story when the company arrived
they were met at the door by the as
tonlshed husband. As soon as the first
greetings were over he said. "My wife
la upstairs, I will csll her down." And
he did.
liOVFXY DAY FOU WAR.
Aunt Mary la the be.t old soul you
meet In many a day, She's 'tended to
her knitting In the good old-fsihloned
may. She never gaba nor iwpa. she
has no time to gad and she seldom
reads the papers. 'cauae, she says.
they mske her sad. She drove
town this afternoon to shop sround
bit and Wilbur Jones the grocery man,
Invited her to sit. - Says he. "Aln'i
this war awful?" and Aunt Mary says.
"My Land! Ain't heard a word about
It t ain't even heard no band." And
Jones says, "Sure, old Kngland and
France and Russia, too. are a fight
Ing with the kaiser why. It's worse
than 'f J." Aunt Mary answered sweet
ly, as she started on her way, "Well
they've got nice weather for It. 'cause
It's Jest a lovely day." Ed Mclntyre,
Hie FHlow on the Corner.
Says Ben Lampman, In the Gold
Hill News:
Thst Fellow on the Comer, there
what high-minded sincerity Is evident
In every gesture! It Is apparent that
he la enthralled, carried away by the
flood of his persuasive eloquence. His
movements sro vigorous, his speech
vehement, his guxe flashing fixed on
the nobility of the distant hills. Some
one, or something. Is getting a proper
panning: that'a sure. Darn my eyes!
the chap looks ss sternly exslted as a
crusader pledging his arms to the Holy
Land. Let us move closer and list
with parted Hps, to the fiery terror of
his discourse. What's that he said
Stung! The Fellow on the Corner I
knocking his Home Town.

Tomorrow
THE law-abiding citizens
of this city want the
privilege of drinking
beer the drink of True
Temperance. Tbej are
weary of blind tigers, speak
easies, blind pigs, boles in
the wall the off-springs of
prohibition.
Prohibition has driven
war the material pros-
peritrof the people. It has
cnt off from this community
the revenue derived from
decent beer saloons and has
increased intemperance. It
has largely increased public
expense in the vain effort x5
to entorce laws wnich can
not possibly be enforced.
It has added seriously to
the burden of taxation. It
has depreciated the value
of real eUate. It has thrown
many out of work. - It has
discouraged investment
capital has learned to shun
prohibition localities.
Give the people what they
want the right to drink mod
erately of beer and practice the
teachings of True Temperance,
