Special 10 the Globe.
WABASH, Ind, Aug. 16.-The pupils at
Whites institute had hardly recovered from
the excitement incident to the escape of
three Indian girls from the school, when
they were startled by the discovery that

Howe and Charley Lehlant-were missing.
All disappeared just before roll call and it
is learned that they set out on foot for
their old homes in Dakota. Notices have
been sent TO the city and town authorities
within radius of 100 miles, and eonsid-
cradle sum is offered for their apprehen-

BULLET IN HIS HEAD.
A Close Call for a 81. Paul Man at
EsasS Lake.

1t took just one minute and ten seconds
to knock the life out of the gayest party
which visited Bass lake yesterday afternoon.
IT was all done with a Colts thirtv-two-
calibre revolver. The party numbered four.
two of whom were tom" Koran and
Sam Peitsch, the latter a pressman of
the Pioneer Press. They drove out to the
lake early in the day and spent the time
pleasantly. About o'clock in the after
noon PeitSch missed $40 bill and at once
accused Koran of stealing it. The latter
denied it, when PeitSch drew a revolver
and fired. The bullet struck Koran on the
left side of the forehead and lodged there
while the powder peppered his face. so
close was the range. Koran was in half
reclining position at the time, and
as he fell over he gamely re-
marked: well, Sam. you've got there.
but you're the last man I'd thought would
shoot me-" As soon as it was found that
the wound was not fatal, Koran drove to
the city and visited Dr. Snyder, who re-
moved the bullet. 1t was as fiat as cent.
Last night Koran was able to walk around.
He relates the following story of the shoot
ing: I'VE were all lying on the grass
when Peitsch got up and went to the house
for a bottle of beer. Pretty soon he came
back where we were lying on the
ground and said: Tom l want $780, |
thought lie wanted TO borrow $50, so said
where would / get S20;' at the same time
! began to smile. We'll. want $40, he said.
We'll / haven't got $2O,' said. He was
standing close beside me. He put his hand
in his hip pocket and took out a handker-
chief, which he put in his left hand. He
went down in his pocket again
and saw the butt of a
revolver coming out. l was totally un-
armed: didn't have even a toothpick or a
pair of scissors. 1 started to get up, but he
caught me too quick, and l fell. He started
to fire another shot, but some person caught
him. was considerably surprised, as we
have always been the best of friends. Yes,
it is the closest call ever had. l guess il
/ hadn't been SO close to the revolver I'd
have been dead man now"
An effort was made to find Pietsch last
evening by both reporters and police, but
their efforts were unavailing.

A Day Of Memories.

On day like this, when the streets are wet,
When the skies arc gray and the rain is fall
ing,
How can you hinder an old regret,
For joy long dead, and hope long set,
From rising out of its grave and calling
Calling to you, with a voice so shrill
That it scares the reason and stuns tho will.
On day like this, when the sun is hid
And you and your heart arc housed together,
u memories come to you all untold,
And something suddenly vets your lid,
Like gust of the outdoor weather,
Why, who is at fault but the dim old day,
Too dark for labor, too dull for playl
On day like this, that is blurred and gray,
When the ruin drips down in a ceaseless fash
ion,
Il dream, that you banished and put away,
Comes back to stare in your face and say
Mute, eloquent words Of passion;
the whole vast universe seems amlss,
Why, who can help it, a day like this?

AutACe 70 IOung Married People,
"Drive gently over the stones 4"
This piece Of advice, which is fire..
quently given to inexperienced whips.
may be respectfully suggested to the
newly married. There are stony pla
ces on the road to happiness, which II
not carefully driven over, may upset
the domestic coach. The first rock
ahead which should be marked "dan-
gerous" is the first year of married life,
Here, especially is the first step that
costs; as a rule, the first year either
mars or makes marriage. During
this period errors may be committed
which win cast shadow over every
year that follows. On awakening sud
denly from sleep we feel put out and
rather cross. May not the young
husband and wife experience feelings
not entirely different when they awake
to reality from the dreams Of court
ship and the fascination Of the honey.
noonp Everything must once more
DO contemplated after the ordinary
manner of the world. once more with
ubdued feelings spoken Of, considered

husband and wife see each other
$ they actually are. Each brings

The Evolution Of Punctuation.

Caxton, the first English printer
had three punctuation marks-the
comma, the colon, and the period-but
says Mr.. Blades, an excellent author
ity in relation to Caxton and everv-
thing concerning him, It is doubtful if
ne had any idea Of the principles of
punctuation. The earliest known
manuscripts are without any points
nor is there any division between the
words. The confusion resulting led
to the separation of words by a single
dot. Then a space between the words
superseded the dot, which was made
10 perform another service. viz. to
show the division of a sentence. The |
Greek grammarians were the first TO
recognize the limbs of a sentence.
A clause they called a comma, a men,
Der Of sentence a colon, and a COM
plete sentence period. Little atten-
ton, however, was paid to these
divisions for long time. 4Flius
Donatus, who flourished in the fifth
century, and wrote a grammar which
served all Europe until after the in,
vention of printing, was the first to |
these divisions by placing /
dot at the bottom of the line, where /
our full point now is, to designate the +,
comma; in the middle of the line. !.
where the hyphen is, for the colon; ),
