He's All Right.

Mention has been made Of the supposed
drowning near Portland. Ore, of Rev. j 8.
G.. Read. brother of the Rev. j. II. c..
Read of Moline, and of Rev. 1. w. Read.
formerly of this city. A most remarka-
BILE sequel to this report is the fact that
on Sunday the gentleman named arrived
10 Moline, entirely ignorant Of his allege d
death. 1t appears that Mr.. Read. who
has been overworked until his health was
badly impaired, had for some time
planned to come to Moline for visit
and rest, and last week his mind be-
came temporarily affected, and without
realizing what he was doing he left home.
Some clothing. which was wrongly iden-
tilted as his, was found on the banks of
the river. and the friends naturally
jumped at the conclusion tina. he was
drowned. On Saturday. however, lie
came to himself, and made the rather
startling discovery that he was on an
eastbound train some distance this side
of Omaha. with a ticket for Moline in his
possession. or course there was moth
ing to do but finish the trip, which he
did.

Even more interesting was another
fetched out for me after she OF the One
Hundred and Fifty had gone away. This
second costume was for an older woman,
Known in society over two continents.
IL was purple velvet robe, shaped TO the
figure in the back, but with a flowing

gold and amethyst. Across the bosom
.he soft, shimmering stuff was fastened
nightly with "A big velvet and ribbon bow
