HUSBAND ID WIFE KILL EACH OTHER Fighting With Stilleto, Axe and Revolver in Tenement House, Couple Inflict Fatal Wounds. New York, July 24.—Fighting with stilleto, ax and revolver by the light of a flickering wick in a glass of olive oil in an cast side tenement, Anthony Giodano, 63, and his wife, Theresa, 61, today inflicted fatal wounds on each other. Both were dead when the police found them. With forty years of happy mar ried life behind them the aged cou ple fought for thirty minutes. Two daughters sleeping in an adjoining room heard the death battle and helplessly tried to force an en trance. About 3 a. m. the daughters were awekened by screams. They heard the sound of breaking furniture and the passing of epithets. Crying to their parents the girls tried the knob of the bedroom door but could not turn it. Above the din could be heard the dull thuds of blows and later shots. Unable to open the bedroom door the girls ran out through a rear door and called the police who broke into the room. The woman was on a bed with her right hand clutching a revolver. A stilleto rested upon the bed. The body of the husband lay about five feet from the bed, the throat cut. FORCE OF ADVERTISING The force of advertising is invisi ble hut you can feel it, and Ernest G. Hastings, managing editor of the Dry Goods Economist, tells a story of a conversation between an ad vertising man and a merchant that illustrates the point in interesting fashion. "Ever have your hat blown off?” asked the advertising man. “Yes,” said the merchant. “What blew it off?” “The wind.” “Did you ever see the wind?” “No.” “Well, advertising is like the wind —an invisible force. You can’t sec it, but you can and will see the re sult just as you saw your hat go rolling down the street.” BOND ISSUE CARRIED Greenville, S.

PHILLIPS I’m charged with a duty to which I’m averse, Kiwanis requests its performance in verse; To introduce all of the officers here The crew is so motley, I do it with fear. Our president, mind you, is R. L. Bethea, You all know this fellow, now what can I say? He’s young and he’s handsome (ad mits this himself), But oh, what a rounder; I dare not tell. He’s a jolly good fellow, we all must confess, And out of the bunch, he’s consid ered the best. Now what do you think of Kiwanis. I pray? When the cream of the crew is R. L. Bethea? Vice-president next, is a badge of decay, He’s an oul codger, with his head turning gray, Who’s pulled fifty years, in the traces, before, Is now a back number, both feeble and poor. He's grouchy and cranky, because he can't shirk, Simply a figure-head, too clumsy to work. He’s never so happy, as when you say eat, At the voice of a widow 7, he’s right on his feet. Our fine secretary is next on the list, Mister A. P. Little, but some call him Gus, He’s famous for beauty, as well as for skill In writing our letters and sending light bills. Our treasurer’s next, who is Frank Hardeman. Frank holds to money till its blis ters his hand, To judge by his talking, you’d think we are rich, If Frank’s not a blower, I’m a son of a witch. The last of the bunch is the district * trustee; He’s last on the list, but first one you see; Whenever a meeting is called in the town; He’s the first one you hear and you can’t hold him down. John Robert Phillips is the district trustee; If you’re hunting windjammers, count him for three, He’s apt and proficient, I’ve heal’d his friends state. In both telling a lie and eating beefsteak. Now this is the bunch I’ve been asked to present; I’ve told you their virtues, with this I’m content, Their vices are more than virtues, I’m sure, But charity’s mantle shall hide these from view. Our board of directors, I’d like to present. But your time and your patience, both will prevent. In calling their names you instant ly see How uncanny they’d look in good poetry. There’s Sinquefield and Kelly and Harris, R. V. There’s Barwick and Whigham and Polhill, J. B. That’s six of the bullies I have in my rhyme, But still there’s a seventh, whose cranium shines. I’m somewhat embarrassed his name to pronounce, Since so many ladies have kindly turned out. He swears by Kiwanis no woman so fair, Shall ever control him in parting his hair. It’s Farmer, It. S., I’m talking about, (I trust the young ladies will not find it out) For while he looks old; he’s only sixteen, And anxious to marry (It’s funny how keen.) Now these are the fellows Kiwanis has called To stand in the forefront ami to strengthen our walls; It’s the best we could do with the timber on hand, But say what you will, it’s an aver age band. We crave your assistance and beg your good will, And trust in the future, to do bet ter still; Let’s all pull together to build up our town, And make it the best one of all towns around.
