Warren, editor of the Girard Appeal to Reason, who was convicted of misuse of the mails {n the federal court here, will decide what his fu- ture action will be after the action of Judge Pollock, “I am in the hands of my attorneys,” Mr, Warren said. Clarence 8S. Darrow of Chicago, leading attorney for the editor, sald that the defenee would not determine {ts course until after the sentence. L, C. Boyle, of Kansas City, associ- ate counsel, indorsed what Darrow said. A motion fora new trial will be filed the attorneys announced, and probably will be argued at once. Thats Judge Pollock will refuse a new trial {s taken for granted. The judge then will pass sentence. He may fine Warren any sum up to $5,- 000, or he may sentence him to pris- ona maximum of five years, or he may glvehim both a fine and a prison sentence. Judge Pollack tn- timated in the trial of the case that {6 wasnota very serious matter, which fs taken to mean that the sen- tence will be light, probably a fine of @ few hundred dollars. In this event it {8 understood that Warren will pay and try no appeal. “Defeated, but not beaten” re- marked the Suctalist editor atter the jury had reported. ‘It looked like a shell game.

So says editor Bock of the Ladies’ Home Journal and editar Bock is authority on ev- erything concerning ladies from crochetting chair tidies and making hand-bags to what brand of talcum is best for the baby. He ls a perfect lady himselfand the medium through which “what is it” percolates down from the idle and esoteric rich who have week’s end parties and support the lap-dog industry to the vast pro- letariat of petticoats throughout the land who read the Ladies’ Home Journal and who are striving with their limited opportunities, to con- form to accepted standards, what- every they be—who, {f they knew 6, would not for the world do anything improper or in bad form. The dict- um {s absolute and will, of course, be obeyed. It will work a temporary hardship on the newly organized bridge clubs at Paris and novitiates in adjacent towns, but will no doubt work out all right in the end.

Fram the Milwaukee Sentinal. Thad Windsor of Milford, Del, | over the lower county of bis state on }@ mission that had muskrat skins as | | {ts special objective. | A® @ emall farmhouse on Cave Neck he discovered 300 or more skins all nicely cured and ready for the market. The farm was that of James P. Jones, bus when the buyer arrived he found that Mr. Jones was not at home. Mrs. Jones was at home, however, and she promptly informed the buy- er thas the hides were hers, that she alone had trapped the muskrate, and that she was ready to trade on 8 satisfactory basis. When the deal was concluded Mrs. Jones received something like $150 for the skins she had collected. That amount, she joyfully announced, would go along way toward butld- ing the new house she and her has- band were planning. Mrs. Jones might be called the champion woman trapper of Dela- ware. Although she does all the housework at the farmhouse and at- tends to the needs of her three chil- dren, she finds time to go out on the marshes and trap muskrats. Every morning, donning her rub- ber boots and long rubber coat, with & woolen scarf tled around her head and ears, she sallied forth to her traps. When the season was closed in the middle of March, Mrs. Jones found that she had over 300 skins to her credit, and when they were sold they brought close to $150 In ready money, When a friend called to see her re- cently, he inquired for her husband, and, with joy in her eyes, Mra.

New State Capitol Put Up to Voters. Jefferson City, Mo., May.—The voters of Missouri will be given an opportunity at the general election in 1910 to say whether the State shall have a new Capitol building, to cost $5,000,000. The House con- curred in the recent action of the Senate to submit the question to the people in the shape of a proposed amendment to the Constitution.
