An Attentive Gallant

Among the audience at one Of the
popular theaters were young man and
young woman who appeared to be
either newly married or ON the verge of
il. The young man was as attentive as
he could be, and the young woman, who
wore all the earmarks of a spoiled child,
took all his little kindnesses as a matter
of course Between the first and second
acts the courteous gallant whispered TO
his fair one for moment, and she nod
ded her head affirmatively. The young
man arose and went out of the theater
through a door leading to an adjoining
candy store. He returned few minutes
later accompanied by colored boy in
white coat and apron, who carried in
one hand a tray with a glass of soda
water upon il and in the other napkin.
He stood in the aisle while the young
man besought his lady to refresh herself
with the glass of soda The eyes Of the
entire audience were upon them. The
young woman shifted at the glass dis
dainfully and waved it aside. A face
tious youngster in the front row of the
gallery ruthlossly fractured the prevail
ing silence with the suggestion: "Slap
FER on de 'rist, de sassy ting. Get 'er
some shampy. She don't want none O.
yer Temperance drinks. The young
man blushed and sat down and looked
miserable during the rest of the play

An Old Love Letter.

The following love letter, written by
a Kentackian in his youth, and bearing
date in 1923, may be Of use to some of
our more modern but less elusive and
tropical lovers, as an example in erotic
epistolary correspondence:
MY DEAR AND ADORABLE PoLLY-As the
heavens yield gloomy aspects, making null
and void my timidical feelings, sit down to
promulgate to You, most holy and immaculate
virgin, that hold a kind Of biennial reverence
for your most sacred charms, but owing TO the
intense frigidity Of the circumambient atmos-
phere il has discomboborated my respiration
like a ship tossed on the tumultuous ocean in
sight Of the delightful land and then tossed
back again. Oh, IL there is any tender pity
lies within that snowy bosom, delay my ragin;
passion, or I shall doubtless pass out Of this
world in a hurricane Of signs to that sweet
elysian which gives dreams Of consolation to
heal lovesick hearts. Your fond adorer, etc.
1t may reduce the percentage of ro-
nance to state that the writer died an
old bachelor about 20 years ago-New

Royal Etiquette.

On one occasion Queen Victoria, Louis
Philippe and the Duke OF Wellington
paid visit to Eton college. They were
invited to sign the visitors book. The
French king thoughtlessly took up the
pen and signed his name at the top Of
the page Etiquette, however, forbade
Queen Victoria to sign her name under
any other. She therefore signed on the
top Of the next page. She then took mp
the pen and handed it 10 the Duke Of
Wellington, who was 50 excited at the
contreremps that be actually signed bis
name "Weggington. " And, by the way,
it may be recorded that etiquette forhids
the queen to converse with tradesmen.
When a puryeyor waits upon her, the
queen. addresses her remarks to an
equerry, who in turn addresses the ex
peetant merchant Philadelphia Times

lk Came Hard.

In Francs, as in most other countries,
IL is necessary to give ones age when
making a statement in court of justice,
as we'll as in many other official pro-
ceedings But Frenchwomen of mature
years are noted above all other women
for their unwilliDgness to state their age.
On one occasion a lady who had to
testify was accompanied to the court by
a numerous company of her friends. and
when the magistrate asked, "How old
are your" there was such a coughing
and clearing Of threats; as of people suf-
fering from severe colds, that all that
could be heard in the courtroom was
"-ty yearsp'
Through the amiability of the magis-
trate, this more than half suppressed re-
sponse was allowed to stand, but the
tribunals are not always so lenient. On
another occasion a magistrate asked q
woman:
"What is your age, madam"
Whatever you choose, SIR" an

said the magistrate to the clerk. "What

magistrate. Your residence

MURDER INA CHILD'S HEAD
Seven Year Old Carl McIlhaney De
liberately Killed Tommy Kidd.

Dalton, O., Sept. 3O.-Though he is a
mere baby it was a felonious motive
that enraged little 7-year-oId Carl Nc
Infancy to plan and then deliberately
shoot and kill his playmate, Tommy
Kidd.
Tommy Kidd was sitting in his Grip
pie chair, in which, by means of handle
wheels, he had managed to move his
little paraIytic body about from room
to room. He was just IA years old, hav-
ing for ten years of that short exist
ence been an invalid, and confined to
the house. He was bright, intelligent,
and had an aptitude for study. The
parents of Tommy, VIXEN they left two
weeks ago, decided to leave the little
invalid tn the country IN the care OF
Mrs. McIlhaney who is a widow. Carl
the child murderer, has been the active
terror of this whole community ever
since he donned knee breeches. Two
years ago, he set fire to his mothers
barn. Tommy Kidd in defending him
self from one of Carts practical jokes,
slapped Carl. This was the proVoca-
ton for the murder.
Last Saturday John Holman returned
a borrowed double barreled shotgun to
the McIIhaney house; the gun was put
in the front parlOr in a place quite out
of the way. The barrels We're empty
Carl hunted for and found the gun,
loaded both barrels, came down, con-
siderately drew his baby sister from the
range Of his aim, aimed at little rom
rny's head. and deliberately shot him
killing him instantly. He put the gun
back into its accustomed place. The
body of the dead boy had fallen over
in the chair He sat him erect and
taking his little sister, went to spend
the rest of the morning with the neigh
bors.
The boy murderer is not legally re
spOnsible although he has confessed.
He viii never occupy a criminals cell
for the murder he has committed He
is one year too young for that How
ever, efforts are being MADE 10 send
him to q reform school.

E. L. SHELTON IN TROUBLE.
Publisher Of 'eThe Illustrated Weekly
Arrested for Swindlina.
[F,rom Today,s Kangas CItx Timeg.l

LFrom Today's Kansas City Times
George H. Waterbury, postofice in
spector of the Denver district, who was
in the city yesterday, reports a most
important arrest made through the in
SCfunentallty OF the pOStOftice depart
ment. The offender is E. L. Shelton of
the Illustrated Weekly of Topeka, Kan.
who is alleged to have committed one
of the most wholesale acts of railroad
SWinding ever known. Nearly every
railroad in the United States and Can
ada has fallen a victim to his bold
scheme of procuring transportation
shelton was arrested in Topeka Mon
day by the United States marshal of
Kansas. He viii be brought before
theUnited States commissioner at To-
peka today and be given preliminary
hearing.
Shelton. it is claimed. under his own
name and the alias of Frank Cameron
opened up correspondence with all the
railroads in the United States and Can
ada. He represented to the railroads
that the illustrated Weekly had a cir
culatiOn of 10000 and asked for passes,
mileage books and editorial transporta-
ton, under the pretense of getting such
transportation for his numerous travel
ing men. At the same time he opened
up correspondence with ticket sea perS
and brokers throughout the United
States, offering to sell this transporta-
ton and to divide the profits To the
scalpers and brokers he offered to fur
nish copies of the Illustrated Weekly
and credentials, that the parties pur-
chasing the transportation from the
brokers might suffer no inconvenience
in being identified.
In several cases the roads refused the
transportation. but in most cases his
application was successful The passes
have been traced directly into the
possession of the brokers, in which case
all the correspondence carried on he
tween the broker and Shelton was
seized and will be used in the trial. tt
is further claimed that the correspond
ence thus procured will implicata a
number of other Kansas editors. whose
names as vet it is deemed best to with
hold. Shelton, it is believed is at the
head of a gigantic scheme and sought
the co-Operati ton of other editors as
well as the ticket brokers, to success
fully conduct the swindling.
The officers claim to have positive
evidence to the effect that Shelton has
forged the names of a number of col
ored editors in Kansas in order to OBJ
tain transportation on various western
roads In two or three instances, the
officers assert, he has induced editors
of small country newspapers to COM
improper use of their transporta ton,
and to save themselves from being
blacklisted.
The railroads have been defrauded Of
thousands of dollars which has gone
into the pockets of Shelton and the
ticket brokers. The scheme, II is be-
Iieved, was inaugurated about the mid
die of last year and has been in con-
slant operation since
The correspondence was first obtained
by Inspector McNeher of the Denver
