Hyde Park. Mass, Nov. S.-Announce-
ment was made here to-day of the death
CT Ado1ph A. Kraus, the famous sculptor,
which took place at the Danvers Insane
Hospital last night. Mr.. Kraus had been
receiving treatment at the institution
since last July. He was 81 years of age.
A widow, four sons and two daughters
survive.
The disappointment of his ambition to
produce masterpiece is said to have
caused his mind TO give way. He had
partially completed model in clay of a
heroic figure Of Belshazzar at the mo-
ment of seeing the hand writing on the
wall, when it began to crumble and
Kraus was compelled to abandon the
work. His mind became unbalanced soon
afterward.

GOT AHEAD OF THE OLD MAN.
Where the Camera Fiend Used His
Skill to Something of an
Advantage.

''It was simply bullheaded luck"
said the young man with the red
shirt waist. papa declared that it
would be a warm day when he con-
scented to my marrying his daughter,
and, as the weather record had been
broken several times after he had
made that remark, [ was beginning
to lose hope. When all-the-world-to-
me went on her vacation 1 went to
the same place and put up at the
same hotel. Now, papa-in-law-tO-be
is an old blowhard, and it made me
tired-everybody else, too-the way
he Dragged about the fish he caught
in former years.
Finally some one limited that it
would be a good plan for him to
make good and give us an example
of his skill as a fisherman. He ac-
copied the challenge and spent three
days in getting his tackle ready. He
went alone, as he said he didn't want
to be bothered by having any green
horns along, and we waited with
bated breath for him to return, says
the Detroit Free Press.
''Now, am something of camera

started out to take a picture of a
little wooded dell when the shadows
were well down. I was making my
way to the road through some thick
brush when I discovered my daddy
in-law-to-be standing in the middle
of the road bargaining with small
boy for a long string of fish. Quick
as a flash 1 took a snapshot of him
just as he was holding on his pocket
with one hand and digging into it
with the other.
II let the old man brag around the
hotel for three days about the fish
he had caught. Then 1 showed him
the picture, told him if he didn't
consent to my marrying his daugh-

the hotel, and pointed out where his
reputation would be. He wilted,

weary of waiting, she was on the ugly

Prof. Dodge's lead, some other clever

the easiest reading. Everyone knows

When the proper medium is found, the

until the stable quarters were at hand.
Then it was too late for her to remain
longer, but she was partially satisfied.
In the long ride back to New York city

been located if it's owner had not. The
