HIS CRIME
Cafe Party Hear the Confession of a
Burdened Conscience.
A little coterie of friends were
rtanding in a downtown cafe a few
evenings ago, w hen a seedy individual
sauntered in and took a seat nearby,
says the Washington Post, lie list
ened attentively to the conversation
and occasionally cast a wishful rye
towards the strangers as they quaffed
their potions. One of the men finally
spoke to the new comer and asked him
what he wanted.
"I merely came in here out of force
of habit,” the latti r replied. ”1 am
accustomed to paying visits to places
like this and 1 always feel more at
borne than in a hardware store or a
pents’tgentlemen’s. 1 should say more
properly) furnishing emporium.”
The apparent case with which the
newcomer expressed himself attract
ed the attention of the group of round
ers and they began preying him with
questions,
“You are a man of more than or
dinary intelligence and I am at a loss
to understand wi^ you should be in
your present plight,” said one.
“1 wi>h you would not talk tome in
that manner,” said the newcomer. ”1
have troubles of mv own—trouble?
greater than you can po.-sibly have any
idea of.”
"And what are tin y?" queried an
other,
“For abort;!.- i ve find - mc
ihirtg on my mind that I v> IVIt it
as a dpty to coni'- -?,”he began.
“What?" broke in one of hi? list* n*
ers. “Can it br that you have cum
in;! t; d some—”
“t 'rinte; yc-s. that’s it. T have cum
mitted a serious crime against the
public and I realize that I am amen
able to the law. 1 have r« fralm >’ ft- m
making a cor.f> ssiun, a chuu bn a.-t of
it. fiaring th. punshiiun: t;. must
sun A he mv r. ward.”
"A murder?” suggested one - f tlu
listi lle!>.
“N"o, it-- not quite -o bad as that,
but it ;• br.d i lu-Ugii.”
“Pray, then w hat ap you guilty
of?" a-kt d another.
“Well, you -ee it was like this. Sev
en years ago 1 wa- married. I had
every reason to believe that I was
marrying only one woman, the or.e
itip®dated in the license A few
months later 1 found—hear me, i
know y-'ti will not think harshly of
nit—that 1 had married the whole
farm’y e-f a mother. father, three sis
ters and two brother?, it was a ur
rifie blow to me. 1 found there was
no ii-t. 1 quit am! have be eji a w an
dtit-r ever .-ir.en. I have Id it that I
could look none of my fellow men in
the face until 1 could.nntki a <• n!\
sion. Give im ove r to flu- law if vou
will. I am ready to do pt nance.”
1’he ,va\ he made tins confession
attracted to h m the svmpatiiv of his
listener?. Another ronnel wa- or
eb reel ala: -till a not he r. An hour later
the m Hi-omer shuffled down the
street muttering to himself that it
was be tier to he born lucky or a hu
morist tfian rich.
CRUDE OIL.
Used in California for ths Sprinkling ot
Streets.
Onr of the benefits growing out of
the enormous supply of crude oil
which is now found in -o many parts
of ilit country is the pc -ubility of
u.-ing it for sprinkling and thereby
laying the du.-t not only on railroad*
but in the cities, and perhaps most of
all ot: the country roads in those sec
tions where rain occurs only at inter
vals. It* success upon railroads has
been thoroughly demonstrated, and
although at tir.-t its use in cities was
deprecated because of the supposed
deleterious tfleets upop rubber tire*,
it is now claimed that this objection
has been ov« rcoii.e. Quite a number
of lie fit it s in fornia are using
oil : r sprir.kl.ng purpose.-. and it is
found much el t, p rman wati r. The
advaiuag, to tin. railroad as id', from
th ;.■» .i-g of du.-t cm the right of way
is that a g.-neral Use for sprinkling
pur]nc-cs will add materially to the
traffic of the road, am! from that
staiidp lint should b. em . un-.g.d.—

PIANO AND
OP.CAN
BUILDING BRAINS.
That which is generally conceded is generally so. It has grown into
a maxim that the Kimball Company represents the greatest aggregation
of brains employed in the making and marketing of Pianos and Organs.
Tde energy, brains, skill and inventive ganius drawn from all parts of
the world are employed in the building of Kimball Pianos and Organs, and
the unlimited capital and the unlimited ambition of the company has cre
ated pi the Kimball an exponent of the highest musical art. The achieve
ments of this company are unsuruassed in the history of art or manu
facture.
If you arc an intending purchaser you should investigate the real
merits of these renown instruments, and in the face of such a record take
no man's word derogatory to them, remembering that makers of other
Instruments, in endeavoring to build up their sales, cannot be expected
to t< 11 the real facts about our instruments, else they'd he entitled to draw
a salary from us, and you will at all limes decide on the Kimball when
the facts are known There is no instrument made today of equal vulue
with the modern improvements and valugble patents (about fifty) sold at
an eijual price.
Investigate for yourself, as in buying a Piano or Organ you should
buy one to continue satisfactory for a lifetime, and mistakes are very
expensive, (in investigation you will find it all we sitv, and you cap be
assured of full protection when buying of ns. . ..
