AN IOWA MANS IDEA.
Photographic Knapsack for Private
or Public Dances.
Young Men Garry the Strange De.
vice on Their BACKS and Grind
Out Two Steps and WaItzea
at "a Lively Rate.

The Photographic knapsack is the
invention of an Iowa genius. His idea
is to place an ordinary phonOgraph
in a knapsack that can be carried on a
mans back. The phonOgraph has two
sets of receivers to be placed at the
ears. These receivers are fitted into
an arrangement so that they can be
retained at the ears without being held
by the hands.
The Photographic knapsack, says
the Chicago Tribune, has been de-
signed for use at dances. The young
men carry them on their backs. In be-
ginning a waltz a man places one set
of the receivers at his own ears and
the other at the ears of his fair part
ner. By pulling a cord dangling from
the photographic knapsack the ma
chine is set in motion and a waltz is
played to which the young man and
his partner merrily dance. The in
yention Will do away with Orchestras
and tin sounding pianos, each male
guest furnishing his own music for
himself and his partner.
The invention will be hailed with de-
light by dancers. Now, instead of 90
or 20 couples dancing to a waltz which
only four OF five people in the whole
ballroom especially like, each pair of
dancers can consult their individual
preferences in the matter. Some dane
ers will be stepping gayly to the merry
notes of "The Duchess of Central
Park" while others viii trip to the
music of Rufus on Parade" and dig
nifed elderly couples will revolve
stitfiy by to the ancient air of THE
| Beautiful Blue Danube"
Young people can romp around with
the merry notes of the ''Caddies' Two
Step" ringing in their ears, and the
young man who wishes to properly
| prepare the mind of his partner for
what he is going to say to her a few
minutes later in the conservatory can
have his phonograph play Call Me
Thine Own" and Only You" and other
stuff of that nature.

the phOnOgraph knapsack has driven

TRAGIC LOVE STORY.
Yellow Feathers, an ArapRhO Brave
Shot White beauty Who Would
Not Marry Him.

Outside of the tent of Yellow Feath-
ers, worst and bravest of the Arapa-
hoes at Darlington, Okla, a United
States deputy marshal sits impatient.
When the medicine squaw comes out
he asks: Dead yet?" and when the
squaw shakes her head he sighs and
waits. He wants to get back TO his
family at Guthrie, and he could go if
only Yellow Feathers would die.
Ella Kilgore, a white beauty from
st. Louis, died nearly a month ago
died at the hands of Yellow Feathers
with a bullet in her heart. So the
United States deputy marshal sits and
waits until Yellow Feathers, with a
bullet in his own breast, dies, or until
he shall be well enough TO go to prison.
To his mind it is a good deal of fuss
for an Indian.
Ella Kilgore should have known bet
ter. But cOquettes do not always
think. She saw Yellow Feathers at the
Indian dance near Darlington and

he joined in the request to have me

decided that little sterness from me
IN the present might be favor to him
in the future. So told them had no
authority to change it and would not
do SO. l tried TO show the foolishness
OF her objection, but it was no use.
Finally, | said to him: We'll, this

you will say it, Then it was his time
to refuse, which he did. He gathered
up his hat and started r1r the door
when, presto change ! she sprang aft
er him, led him back by the hand,
looked meekly up at him and said il"

smiled on him. Don't" said the army
officer who was her escort, but in the
warning she found incentive to do 50
again and again.
And Yellow Feathers was blind.
Day after day, clad in the wild costume
of his people, he dashed through the
town on his pony, and somewhere he
always caught the white signal Of a
lace-trimmed handkerchief.
One day he asked her TO be his squaw,
but she refused. Then she rode TO
the camp of his people, and there for
the dance Of love sinews were drawn
from his breasts, behind which pins
with cords attached were fastened,
the other ends fast 10 a pole. But as
he danced, trying TO break the sinews,
the cords broke, and, as he lay in a
heap, exhausted, the girl gave him her
final answer.
And the reply of Yellow Feathers
was a pistol shot for her, and, as he
fell, another spoke for himself.
And at the rude tepee near Darling

SHE HAD A HISTORY.
Woman I'm an Automobile Coat yyho
Tried Ruse on Some Tired
milwaukee Clerks,

1t was 5:45 o'clock, and in the big
tea house the office force was very
busy indeed, says the Milwaukee Sen
tInel. The typewriter clicked rapidly
and the heavy pens scratched over the
thick leaves.
In the height Of the rush a woman
entered the office. She carried a fox
mutf, and a graceful automobile coat
reached to her feet.
"A stunner!" breathed several of the
official force, and then the young man
nearest left the stool and said:
What can DO for you, miss?"
She seemed a bit confused.
Il have a great secret" she whis-
pered, but somehow every clerk heard.
They surrounded her.
YES" she continued, II am woman
with a history"
After this you could not have paid
those clerks to return to their stools.
"Are you interested?" she asked.
Interested" roared the tall pen

They sounded like a man slipping
! across the roof and dragging a heavy
rope after him. First the noise was
heard overhead, then under the floor,
and then in the wall at the head of the
bed. The inventor became interested,
and incidentally his hair began to rise.
The ghost stories that he had heard
lately from the neighbOrs came to him
in a food. He moved about the house
in his nightshirt, grasping a horse
pistol in each hand. Suddenly the
buzzer on the wicket at the foot of the
stairs began to do its turn, and the
sound of it gave the wizard the shivers.
Come right on up; don't stop to
knock" he shouted to an imaginary
intruder below. But nobody came, al
though the noises continued through
the night and for several nights. The
wizard became communicative and
now wanted TO talk to the neighbOr
across the way, who acted as If he de-
sired to dodge the inventor.
Matters rapidly approached a crisis.
But at last the ghost was found out.
One Of the wizards aids in scurrying
across the yard one moonlit night saw
the ghost run up a tree. 1t jumped
over on the porch, and, reaching over
to the caves, caught in its grasp dOu-
bic line of wires. Immediately the
buzzer set up a noise inside the house.
Then the ghost let go and disappeared
in a hole in the cornice of the house.
The assistant got inside at once and
summoned the household. In less time
than il takes 10 tell it terrifying noises
were heard IN different parts of the
house.
The ghost" was one of the largest
raccoons ever seen in Lake county. He
made nocturnal visits 10 every house
in which he could gain access, dragged
himself between the floors and ceilings
and clambered up and down the walls.
He gnawed the insulation off the wiz
ards wires. and. gripping them to-
gether. closed a circuit, which eX
planned the working Of the wicket

TRUE GHOST STORY.
Strange Noises Frightened the PeO-
pie of Waukegan, III.
HARMLESS Inventor, Who Was Sus-
pected by His FeIIOw-Cftizens OF
Being "a Wizard, Finally Tn
raveIed the Mystery.

The town of Waukegan, H., is q
veritable bower of foliage, tall trees,
and many of them, spreading their
boughs as thick as in forest over the
| yards of the residents. This fact will
explain the presence of the ghost.
Some time ago an inventor who has
a laboratory in the rear of his prem
ises was cautiously approached by
neighbOF who lives across the street.
| Under his breath he asked the inventor
whether he had heard any strange
noises Of late. But the inventor had
not. ---ez'
| Now, the inventor himself had been
the subject of much gossip in the town.
His was a queer-looking place, hidden
/ away where no one could see it. 1t
was provided with a tall tower in which
were Odd-looking portfolios, and in this
inclosure, it was said, all kinds of
| strange devices were suspended.
Many persons stepped lightly as they
| passed, for fear a jar would dislodge
the hanging things, which, being pre-
cipitated to the floor, would set off an
explosion that would blow the capital
of Lake county to kingdom come. 1t
had been limited that the man respon-
| sible Tor all these cOntrivances was
sort of wizard, and that there were un-
canny doings over in the backyard.
As the stories of the queer noises
grew the wizard was the object of
many suspicious glances.
The wizard, however, says the Chi
| cago Daily News, bent over his work
| with renewed zeal. He was not at all
disturbed until he himself became a
victim of the ghosts dOings, and heard
the noises which to the neighbOrhOOd
had seemed decidedly unearthly. One
feature of the house in which the
! wizard lived was that all the windows
and doors were wired. a fly alighting
on an exposed wire would ring an
alarm that would startle the town.
! In the little reception hall was a
wicket through which one is required
to pass in order TO gain access to the
stairway. This was provided with a
| buzzer that set up a terrific noise on
the closing of a circuit.
One night the inventor was prepar-
ing to retire early, when he was made
aware of the presence of odd noises.

EVIDENCE WAS DIRECT.
Boy Witness shows Lawyer for the
Prosecution just How HIS
Client Was Attacked.

a boy was summoned to testify in
a case of assault, in which one man
had hit another with a shovel. A
host of witnesses had been called, who
''beat about the bush" in the most
tedious and provoking manner.
This annoyed the lawyer for the
prosecution, who broke out as fol-
lows: Here, boy, we've been going
round and round this case for hours,
and yet have no evidence to convict
the prisoner. Now, SIR he savagely
continued, "do you hear me? want
you to come to the direct point. Did

''Mr. De Styvesant," answered Miss
