Mrs. Lena Wilkinson, indicted by

infanticide, was lodged in the county
Jail here last Wednesday. Mrs. Will
kinson, who is young widow, lived
last spring in beat A, of this county.
She had three children by her dead
husband, aged about 13, 10 and 7 re
spectively. According to credible tes-
timony, last June she gave birth to
twins, and, hoping to conceal her dis
grace, murdered the infants, deserted
her other children and disappeared.
She was indicted by the last grand jury,
but was not arrested until last
week, when she quietly returned to the
neighborhood where her horrible crime
was committed. 1t is stated that since
her flight last June she has heen quiet
ly spending her time with sister in
Tangipahoa, La. Two weeks ago last
Saturday she got off the train at Brook
haven, unknown to the officers here,
and made her way out to the country
and remained in the neighborhood of
her old home until she was arrested by
Avern Pickering and - Smith, two
former neighbors, and delivered to

Wilkinson children have been in the

one many will appreciate. Possibly you
have had experience with an instrument
that has warped and shrunk and swollen

PIANO TALK.
lBr Bess Tonner.

How to make a piano an ornamental
as well as useful article of furniture Is
a serious problem to the average house
wife. for a plano Is a cumbersome piece
of furniture, and the rule is that brica-
brac placed upon it interferes seriously
with It's tone. However pianos are nee
csSary-absolutely necessary-so all that
can be done is to make it look as at
tractive as possible. OF course, the
square piano Is very rarely seen-long
ago being traded of for the upright or
grand. The modern upright OF the style
of the Mathushek and Chickering are the
most used, so let us consider them as "A
piece of furniture usually the most
prominent article in the whole room.
Position is everything. which, Of course,
the size, angles and openings in the room
must govern. But don't put the piano
straight up against the wall and don't
have the key board in the dark. For
drapery use brocades, tapestries, or, bet
ter still, light silks to match the colors
of the room and which are inexpensive.
Pushes and velvets are too heavy and
usually quite costly. A plant or small
palm will look well on the piano and
so will photographs. A piano lamp or a
smaller artistic lamp will add greatly to
the piano side of the room. BY using
little care and taste in the arrangement,
n piano can be made the most decorative
article in the house.
