He was n boy OF the house, you know,
A jolly and rolllcking lad,
He was never tired and never sick,
And nothing could make him sad.
II he started to play at sunrise.
Not Il rest would he take at noon;
No day was 10 long from beginning TO end
But his bedtime came too soon
Did some one urge that he make less noise,
He would shy with saucy grin:
"Why. one boy alone doesn't make much
STIR
I'm sorry isn't twin!
"Theres two Of twlns-o, 1t must be fun
To 20 double at eyerythins;
To holler by twOs, and to run by tWos,
TO whistle by twos and TO sing!
His laugh was something to make you
glad,
So brimful was It OF joy;
A conscience he had, perhaps.i in his breast
But It never troubled the boy
You met him out in the garden path,
with the terrier at his heels
You knew by the shout he hailed you WITH
How happy youngster feels.
The maiden auntIo was half dIstraught
At his tricks as the days went by,
"The most mlschevous child In the
world"
She said, with shrug and a sigh
His father owned that her words were
And his mother declared each day
Was putting wrinkles into her face,
And was turning her brown hair gray,
His grown-up sister referred. to him
As trouble, trial, grief;
"The way he ignores all rules, she said,
as something beyond belief
But II never troubled the boy OF the house,
He rcveled in clatter and din,
And had only one regret in the world
That 10 hadn't been born a twin;
There's nobody making noise to-day.
There's nobody stamping tho iloor
There's an awful silence upstairs and
There's Grape on the wide hall door!
Tho terriers whining out in the sun
where's my comrade?' no seems to
Turn YOUR plaintlvc eyes away, little dog,
There's no frolic for you to-day.
The frcckled-faco girl from the house next
door
Is sobblng her young heart out;
Don't cry, little girl, you'll soon forget
To miss the laugh and the shout
The grown-up sister is kissing his face.
And calling him darling" and sweet"
The maiden aunt Is holding the shoes
That he wore on his restless feet
How strangely quiet tho little form,
with the hands on tho bosom crossed!
Not a fold, not flower, out Of place,
Not short curl rumpled and tossed!
So solemn and still the big house seems
No laughter, no racket, no din,
No startling shrek, no voice piping out:
I'm sorry isn't n twinl"
There n man and woman, pal" With grief,
As the wearsomc moments creep;
o. tho loneliness touches everything
The boy Of the house Is asleep!

KILLED BY ONE
TERRIFIC BLOW
Rev. T. T. Evans Meets
Death During a
Quarrel.
While Arguing With a Deacon
Over a Division of Crops
He Was Struck.
When the Pastor Died HIS AssaIl-
ant Fled. Pursued by Indian
Territory Officers.

WICHITA, KANs., June 19.-The Bap-
tist denomination of the Indian Territory
is greatly stirred up over the sensational
killing of Rev. T. T. Evans, the pastor of
the Baptist Church at Emet l. r., which
occurred to-day. Aside from its criminal
features, the case is also notable from the
fact that the preacher met his death by a
blow from his antagonists fist.
Rev. Mr.. Evans com bin ed farming with
his ministerial labor, having religious
scruples against receiving paw for his min
istrations, and employed Elisha Brad
burn, one of his deacons. to assist him for
share of the crop.
Bradourn is a large man of powerful
physique, while the preacher is below
medium size. Lately there has been a
misunderstanding between the two with
regard to the terms of the contract be-
tween them, which was only a verbal one
They discussed it frequently. but could
not agree, and in the meantime the wheat
crop, which is immense, was ready 10
harvest.
This morning they met for final set
tlement Of the question and their CONVEX
sation soon developed into a heated argu-
ment There were angry words and then
the lie was passed.
At this iuncture adburn, unable to
control hims eff sDrang at Rev. Evans and
| planted a terrific blow with his t1st on the
latter's neck. Evans fell to the ground
| heavily. struggled and gasped for few
moments, and then the muscles relaxed.
Deacon Bradburn, Mortified, bent over
the PROSTATE pastor, hoping to discover g
spark of life. but he was dead. 1t is be.
lieved that the knockout blow ruptured
| an artery and the minister bled to death
internally. Brad burn fed the country.
The Sheriff is after him, and his capture
is almost assured. There is strong feel
ing against him, but many, as mitiga ting
circumstance, declare that the pastor was
a very h-tempared man.

for divorce last year will soon come to
trial in the county court here. and it is
this effort of hers to secure a legal scpara-

counter action. The has band claims his
wife deserted him. He has put in evil
