THE CHOIR.
Those who compose the choir to-day
have been rigidly trained by their
leader, Mr.. Thomas r. Janvier.
Many of them have long been known
as choral artists; come of them were
leading singers of former days. One
of them, Mrs. Albert Parvin (nee Miss
Jane Barber) was a noted singer in
the early days of the choir of the First

Beccher's First Home.

One room served for entrance into the
house, for parlor, study and bedroom; the
other to the dining and workroom, writes
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in describing
the first home which she and Mr.. Beecher
had years ago in the west. The bed
room was so small that was obliged to
make the bed ON one side first, then go
out on the veranda, raise window,
reach in and make the bed on the other
side. Not such very troublesome work
after all, when one gets accustomed to
it. The little kitchen, partitioned off
from the veranda, was just large enough
to allow a passage between the cooking
table and the stove into the dining room
without burning my dress, and my
table was only divided from Mr.. Beech
er's study table by tho partition.
For nearly seven years this was our
home-a home full of cares and no lux
uries, but very happy home-for many
reasons the happiest we ever knew, for
we were less separated there. In Brook
Ign, in later years, Mr.. Beecher's public
duties naturally drew him more away
from the family circle, but in those days
in the west had him almost entirely to
myself. -Ladies' Home Journal.

Thrilling Adventure of a Miner.

John Clarkson tells an interesting
story of how he came near being de-
voured by large army of rats in the
Baker coal bank. It was his custom to
cook his meal in the coal bank at din
ner time. One day as he was sitting be-
fore a fire boiling his meat he was star
tied to hear the noise made by running
rats. The odor of the cooking meat per-
meated the bank, attracted the attention
OF the rodents and they came tripping
along to the fire at a lively rate.
John says he thought the cold bob
was after him. In q little while there
mast have been fully 500 rats gathered
about him and his heart was in his
mouth. He threw them piece of the
meat, and while they fought for it he
stole away.-New Lisbon Patriot.

portant battle, and for a wonder no
other general has seriously disputed it.
But he was far more than mere soldier
he was an able lawyer, upright judge,
skillful politician and diplomatist, and
poet of no mean order.
1t is the custom in his native Posey
county to assert that he was also farmer,
boatman, brickmaker and bricklayer.
The facts are that his father died in 1928,
when Alvin was but two years old and
the youngest of seven children, and the
poverty of the family was so great that
the boy had to work early and very hard
at whatever he could get to do. He
''bOre off" at the brick yard when bare
footed boy and pulled an oar" on fiat
boat as very young man. Even then
he was yearning to be poet, and
twenty-five years later he was still of
that mind and just beginning to publish
over his own name. And, oddly enough.
his latest productions exhibited more
ardor than his earliest, some of his pro-
auctions in Peru being of an extremely
tropical order" The following is a
specimen:
I've mingled in the joyous dance
From frigid zone to hot Sahara,
In wildering waltz quadrilIe from France,
But none are like the Havanera.
The dark eyed small Limana maid
In every step, in every measure,
Will throw the graces in the shade
And thrill your Utmost soul with pleasure.
You gaze entranced as she may move,
And ask yourself, Can aught be rarer?"
Oh, none on earth, if aught above,
Can dance like her, the Havanera.

Set Upon by tho Gang.

One of the Italian exhibitors of per-
forming birds lost green parrakeet out
of his cage the other afternoon on Park
street. The bird flew up into an elm
and chartered at the distracted Italian.
"Seenyore, seenyore, climba re tree" he
cried. But no one in the big crowd vol
unteered to 'climba re tree" 1t was
the English sparrow that finally settled
the business both for the parrakeet and
the Italian. A solitary English sparrow
spied the green bird, and set up loud
''cheep." In three minutes time fifty
sparrows were mobbing the parrakeet.

Anthropologists all over the world are
said to be aroused by the proposition OF
Professor Putnam, of Harvard, to gather
at the Worlds fair in Chicago living rep
resentatiyes of every race of aborig-

tinent, in their own houses and costumes.
Should the proposal be carried out, stu
dents of man from all over the world
will flock to America for the occasion
and seize eagerly this orly opportunity
ever offered. The cave jewellers, whose
mode of life Walt McDougal treats with
much historical correctness in fiction,
will then be either demonstrated as ac-

regularly penetrates every blood vessel,

gradually replacing the water of constitu-

changing the molecular organism. 1t is

THE YERNAL MURDER
Further Facts About the Hor-
rible Tragedy.
WAS THE CAUSE
The Story the husband Told to His Children
Tile Murderer Still at
Large.

A most horrid murder was discovered
this morning which caused sensation and
feeling CT gloom to settle over our very
quiet and peaceful valley.
The body Of Mrs. Enoch Davis was dis
covered few feet from her home in an old
potato hole, which was covered over with
rags, chips and earth.
The body was exhumed under the direc-
tions of the coroner and removed to the
house, when jury was empaneled and an
examination held with the following re-
suits:
The right side of the skull was crushed
and broken and q pistol which was then
hanging on the wall was fitted into the
wound so perfectly that the opinion was
unanimous that it was the instrument
which caused her death. There were
HAND MARKS on HER THROAT
and with this exception the body was
otherwise free from marks or wounds and
was clothed only in a ladies' knit vest and
night gown.
The evidence elected points to her hus-
band, Enoch Davis as the murderer. DE
was jealous of her and their life had not
been happy or successful one. lnnumer-
curing during their twenty-one years OF
married life.
The children, nine in all, seven boys and
two girls, are left in poor circumstances
the Oldest being % and the youngest
(twins) over two years of age.
The murder was committed on the night
OF the 9th Of June, and the boys testify that
their mother ana father were sitting in
their mouse together apparently in good
humor and talking ana chatting in a
friendly manner, and that the next morn
ing their mother was missing. Their
father told them that size had gone outside
with q Mr.. Dudler.
Remorse, however, seems to have work
ened his nerves, for the next night he told
one OF the boys that his mother
HAD TAKEN POISON
and die1 like lady, and at her own request
he had taken her body some four miles
away easterly and buried it in some will
lows. This created suspicion in the child
ren's minds, and this morning the boys
went to the old hole, which was discovered
to be filled up, and found their mothers
head.
Their father had only been gone about
one hour before on horseback, telling the
boys that their mother was all right, and
he would go and bring her back to show
them. He was last heard of on Deep creek
twenty miles west, making for the Uintah
agency. The sheriff and constables are out
in every direction, securing the country,
and IL is thought he will be brought in
shortly. He is desperate man, however
and many think he will not be taken alive.
Mrs. Davis's maiden name was Louisa
Dayton.
