There Is a young woman in Dayton,
Ohio, who was in love with Scott Jack
son, the murderer Of Pearl Bryan.
There was a young man in the same
town who was in love with the young
woman. The young man no longer is.
He called on the young woman the
other night and presented his ultima
tum. The young woman scOrned him.
Her loyal heart was In the grave of
Jackson. She could not think Of loving
common fellow who had never killed
anybody. The Tilted one determined to
make himself eligible, so he went into
neighbOring stone quarry and blew
himself to pieces with a dynamite cart

Sioux City Journal: A French trav

was struck by the number Of loafera
who gather at railway stations when a
passenger train Is due. 1t may Ire re-
marked that a good many Americans
have been struck by the same fact.
However, all those who gather at the
stations are not loafers, but many Of
them are fairly industrious people.
They simply take the time to go to the
station for few minutes and then re-
