Hush Money.

Miss Eleanor Munro, niece of former Postmaster Bryson, had an interesting experience while acting as a member of the “flying squadron” of the Red Cross, says the Indianapolis News. Miss Munro was -one of a machine load of workers canvassing the rural routes west of the city. At one home on the Maywood road, Miss Munro alighted and seeing several men in the carriage shed back of the house, proceeded in that direction, determine! to make her appeal to the purse holding part Of the family. Soon the other occupants of her machine heard sounds indicating some presumably humorous situation, and soon. Miss Munro emerged from the shed and showed tp her companions a double handful of bills and small change. “Six dollars;” she exclaimed, laughingly, “and how do you suppose I got It? I ran Into a keg of beer and a poker game, and in order to get rid of me posthaste, theygave me everything on the board.”
