CANDO HERALD ANNOUNCES SEN
NETT, OF THAT PLACE FOR
CONGRESS. $
J- A-M.-l*,v*-
Last week's Cando Herald contained
the announcement t^at L. H, Sennett,
prominent attorney of that city would
be a candidate for congress subject
to the will of„ the republican ,primary.
In Bpeaking of his ideas relative to
the position the Herald quotes Mr.
Sennett as follows:
I do not believe in bossism or any
thing that savors of the old' school
rule. I believe that any man'elected
to an office by the people should
carry out the wishes of the people
and not his own. I believe that any
candidate elected under the primary
law such as we have in thlB state
should receive the support of the en
tire party provided he is a clean man
and he should not have the nomina
tion if he vtere not such",
to the constituents in his parti

congressmen should hbld, to the idea
that it is essential to get some pub
lic Building or other improvement un

'words I do not believe tiiat public
funds should be' wasted to assist a
person elected to an office to contin

EVE DINNER,
By GRACE ETHEL WEEKS.
[Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
It was hard for Mr. and Mrs. Whit
beck to separate, especially bard, be
cause they had two lovely children, a
boy and a, girl, aged eight and six.
They agreed to leave the legal steps
in the hands of Tom Forrest, a lawyer,,
who was a friend of both. Having
heard the story of each, he recom
mended that the husband, leave bis
wife for awhile and she could then
obtain a divorce on the ground of de
sertion.
After an interval of six months, on
the 23d of December the attorney noti
fled his clients tbat their divorcement
was about to come to a bead and that
owing to. a division of property that
bad been agreed upon a meeting was
necessary. He summoned them to J,
meet at the borne they had occupied
the next evening at 5 o'clock.
The couple: arrived within a few
minutes of each other. Tbe^ were met
at the door and ushered Jhto' the lt-

At that moment Nancy opened the'
door, to find Mr. and Mrs. Whitbeck,
who had come to sign papers for a per
petual separation, in each other's arms.
"Dinner's ready.'' she said, looking
at the ceiling.
I The table was set for four. On It
was a bottle of champagne with Tom
Forrest's card dangling to it. On the
card was written:
Divorce be banged! You needed a dose
of loneliness, and 1 have given it to you.
I have never entered a plea for divorce
and never intended to do so.

not buy just what you want, and buy
it at home at Uiat. If some other
merchanjt hA^e not what you want, we
may, and(.visa versa. For this reason
we are, in our store a com

to buy. Of course you know goods
kept, on the shelf from one season to
another don't only become shopworn
but depreciate in valuer and money is

money to buy spring and summer
goods, take our discounts, turn our
