Mason City, la.—Thirty-two
years old and married five
times is the record of Ethel-
Wickes-Noble -Pump-Jurdy-
Hughes, who is under arrest for
bigamy.
Portland, Ore.—Is Doc Osier
in the audience? Jeremiah Paul-
sell, 99 years old, has just ap-
plied for a license to hunt big
game. “I don’t take water from
any young fellow,” says Uncle
Jere.

Atlanta, Gs.—When William H.
Burden, 76 years old, advertised
for a bride, the ad was answered
by Miss Lula Douglas Thomson,
26 years old. It is reported the
groom settled $300,000 on the
bride before the wedding cere
mony. Burden has adult grand-
children.
Third Oldest Government

Minneapolis, Minn. — White
Earth, near here, claims the
champion mother of this state
and perhaps of the entire coun-
try. Although Mrs. Myrtle La-
Chappelle is only 19 years of
age, she has been the mother of
nine children. Her husband is
22years old.
Elpaso, Tex.—When Stanley
Cobb applied for a license to
marry Margaret Corn, the mar-
riage license clerk refused to
issue the license thinking it was
a joke. When convinced, howev-
er, he shelled out. Pop Corn
was said to have opposed the
marriage, but when appealed to
said, “Shucks!” and headed the
list for the husking.
It now developes that the Unit-
ed States goverment is the third
oldest in the world having an un-
broken history of one hundred
and thirty-eight years since it
was founded in 1786. England
and Russia have older govern-
ments than this country. China,
Prance, Italy, Germany and oth-
er nations have all changed their
forms of governments since 1786.
It is safe to predict that in ten
years every monarchy will have
disappeared. Life tenure in of-
fice must disappear in every civ-
ilised government. It is bad
enough when the power is ap
pointive but is most inexcusable
and destructive when govern-
ments stand for hereditary pow-
er. If an imbecile or criminal is
born to rule he must be murder-
ed, assassinated or sent to a mad
house. The whole system is a
travesty on civilization and Chris-
tianity. The sweetest music the
world will ever hear will be when
the last thrown in the last king-
dom in Europe has fallen.—

Cocklebur Ave., Route 3.
We have had that long looked
for frost, and it has brought
with it » wave of prosperity such
as we have not seen in a long
time.
We started out this morning
with our dog Crowder, and
caught a rabbit about half grown.
I fried it good and brown, and
liked it better than any squirrel,
especially if the squirrel is on
Sulphur and loose.
Tfcrough the courtesy and co
operation of our neighbors, Me
recently had a glorious diliner.
One furnished us with a pump
kin and another an oposkum.
Pumpkin, opossum and
bread are mighty hard to beat-
in fact there is nothing better,
unless it is jole and greens.

A story is told of the daughter
of William J. Bryan. When a
girl she started to school one
morning, and, after a desperate
run for a street car, finally suc-
ceeded in catching it. As she
took her scat, she gasped:
“Well, I’m glad one of the
family can run for something
and get it.”

The Treble Clef Club
Of Chicago
The Treble Clef Club .is composed of four charm-
ing and cultured young ladies who give high-class pro-
grams of vocal trios, quartets, solos and duets, costum-
ed readings, impersonations in make-up, scenes from
operas and humorous costumed sketches. Miss Taylor
—owner and manager of the company—is peculiarly
fitted, through varied lyceum experience, for arranging
an interesting program and no pains will be spared to
merit the hitherto well-earned comment of “different.”

A subscriber wrote the editor
of his home paper asking the

replied: “According to the fore

your home paper, your pastor,
and your doctor bill.” The In
quirer was puzzeled for a time,
but finally thought of looking
