A WOMAN'S HAT.
II Played an Important Part In a
Police Court Case.


Police Court Case.
A woman's hat. a small skeleton affair
in which there is a white plume. played an
important part in a case tried in the Police
Court this morning. A young man named
Carter Donnelly, but who Is also known as
Raymond Donnelly, was defendant In the
case. He had no hat. and showed tired
feeling, the result of being locked up over
night. The charge against him was that of
being suspicious person, to which he
plead not guilty.
Policeman hardwood and several citizens
appeared as witnesses against him.
Donnelly is collector for a book firm, and
in court this morning he gave his home as
1OO6 Goth street. and then said his wife
lived at 11OI Corcoran street. He was
arrested last night about 10 clock IN the
cut through which the Soldiers Home cleo
tric cars pass. just north of Florida avenue,
adjoining the old Germania Park property.
Policeman Markwood's home is on the west
side of the cut. on the high bank and sew
eral friends were seated on the porch in
front of his house about 10 o'clock, when
they heard a woman screaming The sound
came from the direction of the old park
property, and the men thought the screams
indicated that some one was choking
woman. They left the front of the house
and started to cross the cut, and ran to the
woman's assistance, when Donnelly came
over the bank and rolled down to the car
tracks which are nearly fifteen feet from
the top of the bank.
He was very much excited when the men
met him. and he willingly told them that
the woman ran the other way. Near where
he was found the men picked up the
woman hat, and the prisoner said he
dropped 1t, and he supposed the woman
had taken his.
Later, after thinking the matter over. he
denied that he was with a woman. or that
he had her hat.
.! had been out in the country making
coiiections, he said, "and was on my way
home when l heard the scream. / became
frightened and ran, and then 1t was that 1
lost my hat"
Policeman Parham, who was in court
when the case was tried, recognized the
prisoner as having lived on Goth street, and
said he was fined SIS some weeks ago on
charge of profanity
Judge Kimball said that the proof sug-
gested more serious offense, and he
thought an investigation should be made
by the detectives. For this purpose the
judge continued the case until next week.

AGAIN THE DOG LEAPED UP.


Indiana. 1t was there that Mars
finest faculties were developed. His
usual place at night was the large
barn that stood about four hundred
yards from the dwelling. The master
of the house had frequent occasions to
be absent several days and nights.
Without one, word or sign from any
one, during the nights on these occa-
sions, Mars would invariably lie across
the threshold of grandmother's door,
which opened out into wide passage;
but as soon as the master returned
Mars resumed his usual place in the
barn.
Our grandfather was copartner in q
dry goods establishment in the village,
about a mile from his home. Our
uncle, who resided with him, was chief
clerk. Mars was much attached to
him and would frequently attend uncle
there, then return. AS evening APP
preached he would go to the store, as
if to guard him on his return. In win
ter or in stormy weather, uncle would
often ride on horseback to and from
the place of business
One stormy winter evening, with
Mars, as usual, in waiting, he hastily
closed the store, locked the door, and
leaped onto his horse to ride home.
When Mars saw the horse wheeled for
home, he jumped and gently held uncle
by the pants. Thinking that Mars was
only glad at seeing him start, he shook
him off and proceeded brisl1ly on.
Again the dog leaped up and ratified
his teeth ominously. Uncle stopped.
Mars gently wagged his tail and
trotted a few steps back. Uncle pom
dered as to what he meant. He knew
the dog well enough to know that
something was wrong; but what? With
his eyes fixed on Mars, he slowly
started again homeward In an instant
Mars arrested him as before. He then
turned his horses head and retraced
his way toward the store; while Mars,
full of apparent joy, ran on before, but
still turning every moment to see if he
was followed. On they went. On COM
ing again in front of the store, uncle
perceived at once the cause of the
dogs strange actions; for, although he
had locked the door, he had forgotten
to take the key out He instantly dis
mounted and secured the key; seeing
which Mars ran homeward without
further pause, but with look of as
sured content in his splendid eyes
which uncle never forgot Chicago
Field.

Duncan Mcgowan. l have been at
some pains to trace his pedigree, and
find that by the fourth generation he
was descended from John Mcgowan,
the author of somewhat rare book
entitled "The Dialogue of Devils"
Duncan was a young man who had
drank deeply at the Calvinistic foun-
tain. He came to the conclusion that
it was ordained that his head should
wag in the pulpit. To further this OBJ.
ject he proceeded to London, G. W., to
attend school and get his head
stuffed with the unlxnowable. While
there he was struck with the pangs of
love by young lady, who possessed
good sense and cultivated under
standing. Duncan proposed to her and
he said:
"Ill be all the world to thee"
She said: IA young farmer has been
paying me marked attention, and your
proposal places me in an embarrassing
po3ition."
Some days after the confab the farm
er called upon the lady and she told
him that Duncan had said that he
would be all the world to her" Where.

SQUEAklNG SHOES
Annlhllation Seems to be the Only SAT-
and Reliable Cure.

and Reliable Cure.
"These shoes will drive me crazy"
said my friend Craggs to me as he put
forward in evidence a foot clad in q
brand new and decidedly neat-lookinS,
corlS-soled shoe.
81 wouldn't mind touch of that
same form of insanity myself" said l,
looking disparagingly at the pair
which incased my own feet
perhaps not, but just listen" My
friend arose from his chair and walked
brislSly across the room, whereupon
there ensued tumult of squealiing
and shrieking from the soles of his
shoes that much resembled the groan-
ing of prairie wagon crossing the
plains.
II bought these Shoes" continued
Craggs because they had cork soles
and would keep my feet dry. When
found them possessed of this internal
squeak / was willing to try anything
to stop it that offered chance of sue
cess. One of my friends told me to
place the shoes overnight on sheet of
wet blotting paper and in the morning
the squeak would be gone. did so.
When put them on the next morning
they were soaking wet, and ! had to
wear them that way all day. The re-
suit was ] caught cold, and not only
did it fail to stop the squeaking of the
shoes. but every time l drew a long
breath for the next week my chest
squeaked nearly as loud as the shoes.
acting upon the advice of other
friends, have variously filled the soles
full of pegs till they look like anything
but hand-sewed shoes, oiled them,
soaked them, hammered them and
cursed them. The only salts faction |
have derived is. from the latter--but
the shoes bid fair to squeak on forever.
''If I'm late to church l go home
again rather than walk down the aisle.
If I'm late TO theater I-ahem!-I
squeak my way shamefacedly to my
seat When l walk along the street

fiendish delight in my embarrassment.
Finally, when my business keeps me
out late at night. as it often does, ac-

INDIAN PATIENCE.
Though Improvident, He Endures Hunger
Bravely for His Children.

Bravely for His Children.
The Indians are patient and clan
nish people; their love for one another
is stronger than that of any civilized
people | know If this were not so,
believe there would have been tribes of
cannibals among them. White people
have been known to kill and eat their
companions in preference to starving;
but 1ndians-never! In times of fam
inc the adults denied themselves fair
meal in order to make the food last as
long as possible for the children, who
were not able to bear hunger as we'll
as the old. AS people they can go
without food much longer than any
other nation.
once passed through one of those
hard springs when we had nothing to
eat for several days l well remember
the six small birds which constituted
the breakfast for six families one
morning, and then we had no
dinner or supper to follow it,
What relief that was to me
although had only small
wing of small bird for my share!
Soon after this we came to region
where buffaloes were plenty, and we
soon forgot all the suffering we had
just gone through.
Such was the Indians wild life!
When game was plenty and the sun
shone graciously upon them they for
got the bitter experiences of the win
ter before. Little preparation was
made for the. future. They are chill
dren of nature, and occasionally she
whips them with the lashes of expert.
ence; yet they are forgetful and care
less. Much of their suffering might
have been prevented by little calcu-
luton. During the summer, when ma
ture was at her best and provided
abundantly for the savage, it seemed
to me that no life was happier than
his! Food was free; lodging free;
everything free! All were alike rich
in the summer; and again, all were
alike poor in the winter and early
spring. Their diseases were fewer
and were not so destructive as now
and the Indians health was generally
good. Nicholas.
