They will uot stand the test at tho judgment. He closed with an earnest ex hortation to sinners to put away all excuses and bo saved while all things are now ready.

Now I object to being brought under such scandalous charges just to suit the Records convenience in Dying to make a case against somebody else.

I want to say further that none of the Johnsons solicited me any stronger nor in any different manner than many others did. and I want to thank all my frie nds for what they did- Henry Johnson came with the patties who came to ask me if I would accept the appointment but I suppose he just came for the trip as he never sa'd one word to me about the appointment at that time nor at any other time. I just say so much in the defense of myself and others who are falsely accused. Now if the Record editor has any personal grudge (and I suppose he has) against anybody I will thank himjto take his spite out on them and leave me alone. J.

Mrs. H. Anderson, Proprietress. Clarence Allen of Thayer Die Clarence Allen, the only sou of Mr. and Mrs.

W. F. Allen of Thayer, died in the hospital at St, Louis, on the 30th day of Sept. 1913 at 9 o'clock and 45 minutes a. age "9 yrs.

He leaves a wife, and two small children, father and mother, two sisters and a host of friends to louru bis death. The funeral orviees were conducted by Kev Slmcr Clark of St. Louis, at the iiotne of his father, after which ae remains were tenderlv laid rest in the Thayer Cemetery Clarence was a nephew of our llow townsman Recorder Jas.

I hope he does go lie he free. It were bettei go free than that the Stales get into the hobit of extraditing on the ground of insanity. There's iutirely too much of this "going af'er" a man or a woman on one charge and "getting" hirn for i 1 I it l. ll l-LCU cuts under which better folks than Harry Thaw muv be made to suffer greivous wrongs. When tho Canadian Minister or dered Thaws deportation, he did FO under a piaiQ lavv i uii.

ti uf iiuuu 1 nun ill fit' porting him. But it will be a greater error if New Hampshire will turn over Thaw to New York as a fugitive from justice. That he is net. Justice has done with Thaw. He is acquitted of murder.

Therefore, he cannot be fleeing from justice. He may be insane, but insanity is not au extraditable offence. Mavbe he should be locked up. If so. he should be found insane in New Hampshire; he is out of New Yorks jurisdiction.

Thaw, possibly, should not be at large. He's a bad egg at best, He is a moving focus of corrupt- put according to due process of tires are started in the fall. These suggestions are certainly timely and if followed out, would without doubt reduce the number of tires and eventually reduce ihe cost of insurance.
