It is alleged that the boy has confessed and has returned all the property with the exception of $10, which he spent, and checks for about $100 which he burned. Equal Suffrage Demonstration. The suffrage demonstration Thurs day evening at grange hall was a nota ble showing of the growth of equal suffrage sentiment, especially during the last year. Mrs. Blanche Wilson, lecturer, introduced Mrs. H. T. Seaver, who presided during the exer cises of the evening. Rev. W. A. Warner was called on and responded by reading a very clear and explicit letter from Judge W. W. Miles, giving his reasons for having been for 25 years a believer in equal rights. The reading of Judge Miles letter was followed by brief addresses from Geo. Merriam, Mrs. A. R. Cowles. Miss Blanche Wilson, Mrs. and Rev. A. B, Blake, "Votes for Women." in the course of his 'If I had been asked a Colburne, Mr, Elsie Brewster. all in favor of Mr. Merriam remarks said, ' The Meddler If the coat Jits you, put it on" few years ago if I believed in women's voting, I should have said, No. no body does,' but if I am asked now the same question, I say, Yes, everybody does.' " Suffrage hymns were sung. one being an original one by Rev. Blake, and Miss May Weeler gave a whistling solo, always received with such favor with our people. Miss Wheeler responded to an encore. Resolutions favoring an amendment to the United States Constitution, giving women full suffrage were adopted by a vote of sixty-eight for and only seven against. In closing, B. J. Jen ness, master of the grange, was called upon and said in response that he would like to know how equal suffrage worked out in actual practice, asking H. T. Seaver to explain. Mr. Seaver's answer was brief but convincing. Miss Marion Redfield, Wallace H. Gilpin and Dr. F. R. Hastings, who were expected to have addressed the meeting were unable for the best of reasons to be present, but the whole trend of the exercises was so strongly indicative of the progress of equal suffrage, that it was most encouraging to the friends of the cause - Some folks I saw last week were so busy with their pipes and the Mexican situation that they didn't have time to clean up their yards. Such persons may consider this clean-up week. Some folks took it to mean, clean-up "weak." An idle rumor never spends much time in a busy person's head. I met a fellow in the store the other day whom I know will get a fine crop. He is a good example of what special ized farming can do for one. This fellow was buying some garden seeds and I know from the way he acted he will raise a grouch every time he turns around. This gentleman specializes in grouches and he always raises the finest and largest crop of grouches of anyone in town. There are some folks in this town that are so virtuous when viewing the other fellow that they are in grave danger of bending over backwards and breaking their spinal column. .

The leaners and the lifters. There has been a good many leaners back a spell but I think considerable many o tnem is steppin onto the other side. Time was when every street corner had its little knot o' knockers talking the town down. Big debt, high tax, mean folks, lazy merchants, dirty politicians, lyin' preachers, scandalous neighbors, bad schools, rough streets, poor land, thin milk, tough meat, dishonest bank, cheap newspaper, slow postmaster, unkept buildings, crooked sidewalks, mean weather, no work, high prices, stingy hotel, weak trustees, feeble health, too hot, no snow, bum presi dent, rotten crops, cussed laws. Yes, times is surely pickin up and people goin' over to the liftin' side. I hain't heard no one kick on the weather for a week."

It looks just as though the Meddler would have to name some of the offending auto drivers in this commu nity. I give you all timely warning. There is a speed law and a horn-blowing law besides the license and light laws. A person passing me on the street a few days ago tore a wrapper from a newspaper and threw it upon the street. Last winter I saw a woman undo a package just received from the postoffice and throw paper, string and all into the street. Such persons ought to be made to take a rake and work on the streets this spring. Take a little care, everyone, and it will make our streets look much better. Everybody in Barton ought to at least know as much about their own business as they do about other people's. I sat in the station at Newport awaiting my train. 1 noticed some kind of an insect roaming about on the back of one of the seats. Poking fit with my umbrella he made out of sight. Soon another and similar bug was seen on the arm of my seat. He, too, disappeared with a slight motion toward him. Then I began to look. Cockroach to right of them. Cockroach to left of them. Cockroach in front of them, Scurried un-numbered. With apologies to Tennyson. I paced the floor the rest of the allotted time wondering if the people of Newport liked cockroaches or if the public is just compelled' to put up with them like the nuisances in some other stations. Who is the gentleman in a neighbor ing town who had an experience like this while learning to drive his new car? A traveling man tells the Meddler that there is one highly educating conductor operating a train here. He recently asked the train boss why the train was so late and that gentleman made reply as follows: "Well, sir, the train ahead of us was behind and this ' train was behind before besides." The Meddler v A
