Ths* For Mouruiuer. A lady In London was asked for aid by a poor woman whom she had befriended. “My husband Is dead and I haven’t a stitch of mourning,” said the woman. "Please do help me.” “But,” replied the lady, “why go Into mourning? You do not really mourn the loss of that man. He used to L?at you and the children. He stole their clothes and yours to buy drink. Hs tried to murder you. He had been absent from home for months. Now that he has turned up again and died, you want to buy black with money which should go to feed your Children.” The woman admitted the truth of It all. “God was good to take him,” she said unaffectedly, “but what will the neighbors say If I don’t put on black?" "Well, supposing I do manage to help you, for what day do you want the clothes? When Is the funeral?” the lady asked. “Oh, there ain’t no funeral, mum,” the suppliant answered. "My husband died nine months ago In the prison ’orspltal, but it's only this mornIn’ as I’ve ’card about It”

Conundrum*. What did Lot’s wife turn to? To rubber.

Why is a dog’s tail a great novelty? Because you never saw it before. Why was Eve made? For Adam’s express company.

Why do chimneys smoke? Because they can’t chew. What becomes of the night when day breaks? Goes into mourning (morning).

How to Know the Kingbird. The upper parts of the kingbird are elate colored, with black head, wings and tall, a white band at the end of the tail and an orange spot on the crown, under parts pure white, a little grayish on the breast.

The Reason. Grandma Gruff said a curious thing, “Boys may whistle, but girls must sing.” That’s the very thing I heard her say To Kate, no longer than yesterday.

“Boys may whistle." Of course they may, If they pucker their lips the proper way. But for the life of me I can't see Why Kate can’t whistle as well as me.

"Boys may whistle, but girls must sing." Now I call that a curious thing. If boys can whistle, why can't girls ioo? It’S the easiest thing in the world to do.

So. if the boys can whistle and do it well, Why cannot girls—will somebody tell? Why can’t they do what a boy can do? That Is the thing I should like to know.

I went to father and asked him why Girls couldn’t whistle as well as I, And he said, "The reason that girls must sing Is because a girl’s a sing-ular thing."

And grandma laughed till I knew she'd

ache When I said I thought It all a mistake. “Never mind, little man." I heard her say, "They will make you whistle enough some day."

MYSTERY IS DARKER

Miss Rscord Recovers Conscious* ness and Tells the Story of i Her Abduction.

DISAGREES WITH CONDITIOVB Dandana Handkerchief, However, la a Puzzling Fact—Brazil Women Hold a Street Fair.

Indianapolis, July 22. The Ines Record case is still a complete mystery. The girl has recovered consciousness, but because of her nervous state no questions were asked her for a while regarding the matter. Dr. Spees, of Glens Valley, had advised against exciting the girl by asking her questions. There is now little doubt that she will fully recover.

Story the Girl Tell*.

Later the girl was allowed to be questioned. She said that while she was writing a letter two men—one white and one a negro suddenly grabbed her and carried her to a buggy. She remembers crossing two bridges and going up two steep hills. They tried to force her to go with them to St. Louis, and on her refusal ducked her in a stream, drew a knife across her throat, and then left her in the road without attempting a rape.

How Did They Eacap. Observation f

At the time the girl said she was thrown from the buggy at the Wishard crossroads the highways were filled with searching parties. Almost every road and path in the township had bene gone over by parties in vehicles, automobiles and on bicycles. Many of the farmers were armed with shotguns and all strangers were stopped and questioned. There are two houses near the crossing, and the roads are fenced in. The only way possible for men to have driven to the crossing without being seen was to hide In the swamps and marshy lands which abound in the neighborhood, and then drive out when the highways were clear of persons.

Still, There's the Buidsss.

The knotted bandana handkerchief about her neck still stands as an argument supporting the theory of abduction, and lends strength to the girl’s story. Hie members of the family Ray they never before saw the handkerchief, and assert positively that it was not the property of the girl. There is a bridge over White river about a quarter of a mile west of the Record home and another at Waverley, several miles south. There are also many hills in the township.

Indianapolis, July 22.—The crop bulletin for the week ended July 19 says that weather conditions were highly favorable to fanning interests, especially to the growth of corn. Cutting wheat was practically finished, except in the northern counties, and threshing was begun in the south section. Where threshing has been done, the yield of a few scattered fields Is reported good, but generally the crop is far short of an average in quantity and. for the most part, inferior in quality.

Fairbanks' Son-In-Law 111. Indianapolis, July 22.—A cablegram to the family of Senator Fairbanks from Mrs. John W. Timmons, daughter of Senator Fairbanks, confirms the report of the illness at Trieste of her husband, Ensign Timmons, to whom she has been married less than a year.
