A woman was found wandering

tern Insane asylum last night. She
was taken in charge of by the asylum
officials and was taken this morning
before the county commissioners.
She said she is the wife OF Dr. Hud-

band is dead, and that she has three
children, whom she left in Mississippi

to be no one liable for her support,the
court therefore ordered her token to
the pOorhouse.

BEATEN BY SAUSAGE FAT.


Down in one of the little restaurants
known as "oyster bays" which are
usually located in basement saloons, a
pugnaciously disposed individual was
seated several evenings ago, and he was
looking for trouble. All of his imme-
diate neighbors at the lunch counter
were peaceably disposed and the boy
behind the counter who was busily en-
gagged with an order was in too much
of hurry to notice HIM. He had fin
islted his own meal-small steak, pota-
toes, bread and butter and coffee, and
for some reason or other he was dis
satisfied with it.
He sat with an evening paper in his
hands, and he would read a little in il
and then make clustering comments
with the evident hope of getting Il con
trary opinion from somebody. But the
othCrs were wary and he saw it and it
angered him. Rapping on the counter
with his right hand he said, loudly:
1--WE ort to kill ever one O. them
cussed Spanish. They're a barbarous
outfit, anyway. They couldn't stand fire
of a tightin' man. It's easy to do the
marchin' and the drillin', but when the
sheet lightnin' begins to pour in, then's
the time to tell the stuff the boys is
made of. These here Spanish amt no
good then. They never stood fire if it
was shot into EN- hot"
Just then a gas jet under pan where
lot of sausage was frying reached
over, the fat blazed up and a big splash
of ii hoped over and took the speaker
on the face.
"Oh. gosh" he howled, as he tumbled
from the stool and made for the door.
"Where's The drug store?"
AS the the door banged behind him
the merry echoes of the general laugh
followed him-Chicago Chronicle.

TOPOGRAPHY PARTIES" THE FAD
New Kind of Entertainment That Shows
How Little Some People Know.

Typography parties" are among the
new things in the entertainment line.
They are instructive as well as enter
timing, and it Is astonishing how quick
ly they sometimes prove to one how
little he knows of even the geography of
his own country. In party of a score
of persons, met for an evenings enter
tainment, it is doubtful if more than
one-ffth of the number would often be

a young lady on the South side had a
capital party" the other night, at
which she gave prizes to the lady and
gentleman who named the most capital
cities of the country about which the
questions were asked. 1t developed at
this party that but two of the score
of guests could name all the capital
cities even in the United States and the
territories. There were people present
who would have it that San Francisco
was the capital of California, Jackson
vile of Florida, Louisville of Kentucky,
-NCN vi lttbllS VI LOUISIANA ana SJ. LOUIS
of Missouri. They had apparently for
gotten all about Sacramento, Talla-
hassee, Frankfort, Baton Rouge and
Jefferson City. There were others,
mostly women, who could not name a
city or town in Nevada, Arizona,
Idaho, Oklahoma or even in South Caro-
lima, Montana and Mississippi. The Dako-
tas puzzled good many, and there were
a few who couldn't recall the names of
the capitals of such old New England
states as Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine. Two insisted that Philadelphia
was the capital of Pennsylvania. 1t
was easy enough to remember, of
course, what was the capital when Har-
risburg was suggested, and so it was in
the other cases, but the contest served
to show very clearly how far away some
people get from their old grammar
school days of geography.-Chicago

Whv He Died.

In 1927 Mr.. Yea, Colombian minister

WAITING.

Fay away, by the Jasper sea.
Farce forms are walking, side by side,
And now and thenuhey bend to gaze
over the ocean wide.
And three of us but walk and pray
Beside a dark and boundless sea;
We cannot pierce the radiant glow
That folds the other three.
They watch above the rolling world,
Waiting till one. at Gods command,
Shall cross the space that lies between
This and the further land.
And, oh! long for the years to pass;
And, oh! Il cry for the time to be
When they who are watching with eager
eyes
Shall bend and beckon me.
So sang I but few weeks ago,
When, through the silence, a message
came,
And one of US passed to the distant three,
Hearing with joy his name.
Four walk now by the jasper sea,
Turning earthward their radiant eyes,
Where two of us now, with yearning
hearts,
Look ever to Paradise.

NO BOARDED WAISTS.
They Are Ugly, So Women of Fashion
Won't Wear Them.

Won't Wear Them.
No doubt there were many who grew
greatly excited over the published ac-
counts that boarded waists were a fait
accompli, that the corsage planchette
attributed to Paquin was the last Paris
cry, the chef-d'oeuvre of the dressmak-
ers' art for the rest of the winter.
AS a matter of fact, Worth was the
first who attempted to retrace steps to
the moyen-age, and produce a pointed
bodice whose lines were after the old
style, fiat across the bust and vertical
to the waist, with padded fronts to
obliterate the natural curve of the fig
ure.
The models he sent over here twelve
month ago were not taken up, neither
were they in Paris. Bernhardt's revival
of Victorian gowns in her late repre-
sentation of Camille has given birth to
this recent sensational bodice, which
has too much of the theatrical costume
motif about it to be seriousl Y considered
by women of refined tastes, either for
eign elegantes or their American prote-
types.
The insurmoUntable obstacle to fenc-
ing up the figure with strips of wood is
that it fails to beautify. Women would
not hesitate to torture themselves if it
did. On the contrary, it is dcformity,
destroying all grace of movement and
beauty of form.
Then, again, it has the disadvantage
of making every figure look twice it's
natural size below the bust line, the
thought of which is enough to convulse
the feminine world to its foundation.
