His Identity Discovered.

The mystery surrounding the young
man killed at the Loux crossing, near
\ Valparaiso, last week, has been cleared
up. Ills name was Edward DeVere
and his parents live at 1910 West Har-
rison street Chicago. Mr.. DeNere was
formerly an engineer on the Pennsyl-
vania system, and lived for some time
in TT. Wayne.
1t seems according to the fathers
story, who came to Valparaiso to learn
the truth, and identify the mangled re-
mains of his II year old boy, that the
son desired to visit friends in Ft
Wayne, but had been advised by his
father to postpone the trip. 1t seems
that he neglected to listen to his father
advice, and was taking the novel way
of dead-beating it through. Mr.. DE
We're places no confidence in the alleged
story as told by tramp in this city
that the train hands threw the boy of
the train. He is inclined to believe
that owing either to carelessness OF
numbness of the hands, he accidentally
fell under the wheels. The mother OF
the lad is prostrate from the shock, and
as soon as able, il is intended to remove
the remains to Jackson, Michigan.

A YEAR IN A WAGON.
Tho Home on Wheels OF An Artist and
His Wife.

H. ]. Brewer. the well known artist,
and his wife have lived for over year
in cottage on wheels, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. Their movable
residence is at present in lot in Ala
media, where they are couched under
spreading oak, and where
they intend to stay during the winter
Their house Is result of Mr.. Brewers
attempts to secure a place where he
could work at his art and still be at
liberty to go where he wished. The
house was built in 1894, at a cost OF
about $1,000, and Mr.. Brewer said re-
Gently that he had already made
enough by the saving to pay for it. The
van is somewhat similar to those in use
by gypsies, and it is fitted up in much
more comfortable style. 1t has one
room 10 feet long, IA feet wide and
6 feet inches high, and in this space
Mr.. Brewer and his wife have lived,
slept and eaten for the last year. At
one end of the wagon, over the wheels,
is raised platform, and here is pock-
ct edition of cooking stove, with a
collection Of shining pots and pans
around it. Under the seat of the wagon
is Mrs. Brewers cupboard. and her Ia
bic consists Of the top Of the big trunk
which contains their wardrobe.
The sleeping arrangements are, how
ever, the greatest puzzle to the unini-
tiated. The beds consist of the two big
cushions laid out upon the floor of o.
wagon, and the bedding is stored in a
box GSder the wagon, reached by a
trapd0Jr in its floor. TIE little house
has plenty of light, as it must have, for
Mr.. Brewer has 1t for his studio on occa-
sions. The door is on the left side,
between the wheels, and is made in tw
halves, so that either can be opened
independently of the other. Beside
the door there is big plate glass win
dow and several smaller lights. The
whole contrivance, including two per-
sons. weighs less than 2,400 pounds. and
can be taken anywhere by two horses
Mrs. Brewer Is no less enthusiastic
about her travelling home than her hus-
band. All last winter they were domf
ciled in the hills above Berkeley and
never felt better in their lives. Last
August they started with their caravan
from Alameda. They went over the hills
to Contra Costa county, and spent sew
eral months sketching in the valleys
Then they went to Berkeley for the
winter and In the spring moved theiI
residence further up into the hills. This
winter they expect to spend in Ala
media, and in the spring they will start
out for tour of the state.

They Will he Here.

Next Friday afternoon at 30 the
Plymouth city band will make their
first parade. 1t is to be hoped that our
citizens will show their appreciation
of our musical aggregation, and give
the boys hearty reception.
In the evening they will hold forth
in the opera house as minstrel COM
pany, and they are prepared to give an
excellent entertainment. With the
home talent they have at their disposal
in connection with the popular male
quartette, of South Bend, 1T will, with
out doubt, be the best entertainment
along this line ever seen in Plymouth
by home talent.

The old turkey gobbler wisely said.
ITO the woods we will quickly fly
And roost high up in the forest trees
For Christmas is fast drawing nigh.
'Ill roost right here in the apple tree,

But, sad to say. on Christmas day.
Instead of roosting he roasted.
