OOLDM ARNIVXSaAJtT WILL B£ OBSERVED ^ BY CHILDREN'S HOME w«y back in 1886, ^ev. T. B. Arnold of Chicago, founder Df the Chicago Industrial Home for Children, located at Woodstock, Illinois, began a career as a^fnend of orphaned and homeless children which in a few years grew in magnitude and usefulness until he became known throughout the city of Chicago and beyond as, the friend and protector of helpless arid homeless little children. It was in that year that Mr. Arnold's attention wai accidently attracted to two small boys, waifs, cast outs from broken homes. He took them in, gave them a home and cared for them. The urged for this blessed work and his love for children, encouraged by his w! «' l wfho 1 was heartily in sympathy with his plans, led him on until he had quartered some eighteen children m his own home. .

At least it cost him more than $100 to square himself with the law enforcement officers of4 McHenry county after greeting Fred Bau, Algonquin police officer with open arms (with a fjst at the end of each one) last Sunday night. According to reports, Murray and his wife were driving through the main street of Algonquin when they sideswiped a car. In the controversy that ensued, Officer Bau stepped up in an effort to soothe the irate drivers with his gentle persuasion. Oh*' but Attorney Murray didn't want to be soothed, persuaded or placated, he turned right about face and told Bau that the presence of a "hicktown" cop was not needed and for him to be on his way. Officer Bau resented this remark and sweetly informed Murray to be more careful of his language. Bpt this did not frighten Murray, he belligerently reiterated his demand for Officer Bau to be on his way. It was then tihat Officer 3au placed Murray and his wife under arrest and started for the village jail. But here we meet with more surprises-- and so did Bau. At the village hall, Mrs. Murray, said to be a wrestler by profession, grabbed the unsuspecting Bau and pinned his arms behind his back. While in this embarrassing situation. the Chicago attorney took unfar advantages of his adversary and landed a Wingfield, Wiltshire, couple of Joe Louis blows on the of- the quaint record of not havficer's face. Policeman Bau broke K1® on® new ^ouse built within its i loose from the woman athlete3 more tlian fifty years. | landed a haymaker on her Chin, which, ! it is claimed, knocked her unconscious'i for a few minutes. He then grabbed Murray--none too gently--and placed him in jail. The affair was reported to State's Attorney William M. Carroll and an information charging driving while intoxicated was placed against Murray. He was brought before Judge Henry L. Cowlin Monday morning, at which time the information was amended on its face to charge reckless driving. j Murray pleaded guilty 'to this ; charge and was fined $50 and costs t by Judge Cowlin. He had his choice I of a $50 straight fine, or a $25 fine and loss of his driving privileges for | six months. j As soon as the county court had (completed the case, Murray was taken to Algonquin, where he and his wife faced a charge of assault and resisting an officer. To this charge both pleaded guilty and Justice Chas Adamek assessed a fine of $40 and costs amounting to $50. On payment of this fine the Chicago attorney was turned free. The Algonquin policeman says Mrs. Murray showed him several new holds in the "free-for-all." He also states the attorney has a powerful wallop. It is claimed Murray is quite proficient at boxing. Officer Bau received a bad cut on the side of his face ^en he was struck by Murray Uniforms worn by soldiers taking part in public exhibitions in England are now insured against damage by weather.

Chairman of advisory committee- George Roop, Fox River Grove Gordon Setters Intelligent Gordon setters are famed lor their intelligence or, rather, completely understanding of humans. Many have stopped arguments by jumping between the quarrelers. The big black and tan dogs were developed by the Scotch duke of Gordon, says a writer in the Washington Post. They are used chiefly for hunting. In retrieving, they are more careful than any other dog, never mangle fallen game. Hard to anger, they are the fiercest of all fighting dogs when enraged. Facing danger, their courage is unwavering. Crime News Always in Dental Early Nineteenth-century England was so interested in prison news, details of confessions and the last words of condemned men that the warders sold these stories to such newspapers as the Terrific Register and the Malefactor's Journal, which were devoted exclusively to crime news. Sometimes, says Collier's Weekly, these publications sold more than 2,000,000 copies of a tingle tone.
