eral weeks wondering what I should do
and why a man with that much cash
should be stealing a ride. The only
conclusion to which could arrive was
mitted burglary and was afraid to ride
in a passenger train. For time I
thought would keep the money, but I
could not decide to do that, so one day
I went to st. Louis and looked up the
address. 1 found an old lady apparent
" in poor circumstances, and, as she
gave the name that the tramp had CIV

over the money. She said it was GER
tainly her son, but that she had not
heard from him for several years, as he
had got into trouble and had left the
city to avoid arrest. She did not seem
sorry to learn Of his death, and I am
yet undecided whether I made a chump
of myself or did the right thing

ELECTRIC SUNFLOWER.
One May Be Used in the Audi
torium.

A suggestion was made to the building
committee this morning regarding the
electric lights in the dome of the Audi
torium which may be accepted, as the
idea seems to impress the committee ia
vorably. In the plans it is arranged to
have sixteen lights around the base of
the dome but when the electrician who is
wiring the building came to that part of
the work he explained that if the lights
were set in called for by the contract
they could not be taken down or be got to
in case they needed repairing. He sug-
gested that a sunfiower be made with in
candescent lights and that it be so ar
ranged that It could be lowered If any
thing should get wrong with the lights
1t will require sixty lights to make the
sunf1ower, but the increased cost in the
difference of the lights is slight, and the
committee is inclined to accept the sug-
geStion.

High-Heeled Shoes in Favor.
[From the Pittsburg Dispatch

[F'rom the Pittsburg Dispatch.1
The high-heeled Shoe which many wo-
men declared had been banished forever
by the athletic girl, is back in favor once
more
OF course the high heel is not comfor-
table to the average woman, but it in
creases her height. and the tall girl is
the fashionable girl just now. Then the
high heel, when tucked cunningly under
the shoe, detracts very much, apparent
ly, from the size of the foot. Small Won
der that the average sufferer smiles at
sight of mirror in the midst of her tor
lures.
But the girl who suffers most from the
high heel is the one who wears a COM
mon sense shoe, with fiat heel and built
on mannish last, all day, then, just
when her feet are tired with the days
tramping or golf, crowds them into high
heeled shoes two sizes smaller than the
others
And yet she is the girl who never COM
plains and smiles as she dances.
