ton Of the man found on Indian
Creek a few weeks ago. He had the

we're those IT Jumes Owens. an Amer
lean by birth, aged about GU years
and that he came to his death by be
ing lost in the mountains during a
severe snow storm and was probably
frozen to death.
The skeleton was found at the
head OF Indian Creek between the
Mardis road and North Fork. All
the bones we're found except the up
per jaw. A package of letters was
found which leave no doubt rs to the
identity of che remains.
Owens left Mardis for Deeth OH
the 18th Of January, 1894, in a blind
ing snow storm and was never heard
from until his remains were found a
few weeks ago. Suspicion that he
had been fouuy dealt with by - for
mer resident of Mardis has been set
at rest by the finding of his remains
and the evidence produced at the III
quest.

At the advanced age of eighty-five years,
James McMillen, of 1l2 West Washington

lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he com.
manded when lie was a young man.
He has a little shop on North Wright street,
In the vicinity of the University of ILLINOIS,,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students OF that institution.
About q year ago Mr.. McMillcn was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that lie
was dangerously ill. For months he was II
sufferer, but finally lie appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps. OH account of

when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter.

to nave him. relate the story.

formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and inflamed.
In fact, they reached such a condition that I
could not walk, and it looked as though my
days were numbered.

scoldinr Under D,mcu,t,e..

At q church gathering some time ago
q number Of deaf mutes were present.
Refreshments were served during the
evening, and in handing a cup Of coffee
to one Of the guests a deaf mute gentle
man happened to spill a few drops on
his wife's skirt. The wife is also o deaf
mute, and it was evident that she took
the mishap in a rather irritable way.
She wrinkled up her forehead and at
once made a series of remarkably swift
movements with her nimble fingers.
The husband, looking exceedingly apol-
ogetic, made a few motions in return.
One Of the guests who had noticed
this little byplay slyly slipped out a
bit of paper and penciling something OH
it handed i6 to u friend.
This is what the latter read:
"No matter how badly afflicted, wo-
man can still scold."
The friend scrubbed this in return:
"Yes, but in the present case the hus-
band is luckier than the average. He
doesn't have to look. ''-Cleveland Plain

much trouble. continued to gather my
lost strength, and at the end of six weeks I
felt entirely recovered and resumed my work

there should be such an amazing differ
ence in your theatrical business end

profits sound fabulous. Ishould say they
were fabulous if l had not seen the re-
turns of Wallack's when one of my
plays was produced there. A hundred
pounds q night is nothing to you, it
seems"
1.-Two or three hundred would not
stagger u.s., said Booth, smiling, "nor
four or five for a very great and special
attraction. For several years the pros
porous houses in New York considered
$1,000 u fair average the year round.
Stars travelling through the country,
for whom the regular prices were raised,
could sometimes draw much more"
"Were you at all prepared for the
lower receipts here?"
"Not really prepared. l was told
what to expect, but paid no attention.

ing literally. I thought / might count
upon $1,000 a month at the very worst.
He was right, however,"

"Your theaters are not larger than ours,
and the prices of tickets are about the
same. yet I see the Adelphi or the st.
James packed, without about one-half
the result that Wallack's shows. 1t
beats my arithmetic. You can't get
more people into a place than it will
hold"
1--WE do that, too, sometimes"
laughed Booth. "but, al I say, you must
come and find out all about it for your
self, Mr.. Reade. Your audiences will be
larger than the halls can hold, SO you
can study the problem under the best
conditions"
"No, no. You tempt me to my de-
struction." But the compliment greatly
pleased the author, who liked to hear
such things said, though he affected a
lofty Indifference to praise.
