Times Special SEYMOUR, Ind, Dec, 168.—Ward Brooks 37, an unemployed painter, was eager to provide a happy Christmas for his wife and 88-year-old foster daughter, He had only $5, He wanted to use it to buy gifts, That's why he went to woods to cut a Christmas tree instead of buying one, The wife, lia, the daughter and Mr, Brooks talked over their plans at their home Thursday, “I'll take a Knife and go to the woods and get a tree,” he told them. “That will Jdeave us the whole £3 for other things.” Happy with anticipation, the mother and child hid My, Brooks goodby and eagerly awaited his return,

Night came and they began to worry as the husband and father failed to return, The black hours moved slowly along into a gray and ominous dawn, Charles Reveal, a farmer was on his way to cut brush near a dredge ditch yesterday, He looked into the ditch and saw a body, It was the body of Mr. Brooks, He had become ill and had died on his Christmas tree mission, Near the body lay the kitchen knife and a small tree, The dead man's body was returned to his sorrowing family, The tree was left in the woods, Mrs, Brooks and her daughter aren't planning a Christmas celebration now,
