One morning, in kindergarten, a
wee mite of womanhood had been
trying to attract The teacher by every
resource of which she was capable,
without directly saying she had
something to tell. Finally, the young
girl went over and sat beside her.
whereupon little Rachel bounced her
skirts, puckered mp her forehead,
and, clinching her hand, exclaimed:
oh, dear, but I'm mad" The teach.
er was surprised, for Rachel had
seemed to be laboring under a de.
lightful secret. And why is little
Miss Sunshine angry?" asked the in
structor. well, everybody was mad
at our house this morning. Mamma
scolded Sister Jane, and auntie scold-
ed mamma, and papa said: o darn,

HER HUSBANDS PARTNER.
Nuch of D'OyIey Curic's Success was
Due to His Wifc's
Efforts.

D'Oylcy Carte, the dramatist and
manager, whose recent death was sim
ccrely regretted by members of the
dramatic profession, owed much Of
the success he achieved to his WIFI,
one Of the most remarkable women
in her way that ever was associated
with theaters, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
Joining Mr.. Carte's company in a
somewhat subordinate position. she
soon showed grasp Of everything
connected with the stage-so com

of woman. She could keep ac-
counts in bookkeeper fashion, dress
a piece in a way that a French dress
maker might envy, bargain with au-
thors in short, do all sorts and con
ditions of things in dramatic work,
until in the end she had all the
threads Of Mr.. Carte's business in her
hands, and when he and she got mar
ricd IL was the conclusion of great
business partnership, as well as the
joining together of two people who
had q true and abiding affection for
each other.
Inrecent years the business partner

and it was to her soothing hand that
poor D'Oyley Carte owed that alIevia-
tion he received during the tedious
journey which lies between constant
i'll health and welcome death.

MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
Body of Nell Cropsey Found
 In the River.
HAD BEEN MISSING FIVE WEEKS.
The North Carolina Girl For Whom Search Had Been Made Un- ceasingIy Since Nov. 20
 Was Drowned.

ELIZABETH CITY, N. C., Dec. 2S.-. The body of Nell Cropsey, who myste- riously disappeared from her home on the night of Nov. 20, has been found ln the river opposite the Cropsey home by two fishermen. The news of the finding of the body flew over the town like wildfre, and within a short while over 2,O0O persons had assembled on the river bank waiting for the body to be brought ashore. The coroner imme- diately took charge of the body, jury was selected, and two physicians were called in to make an examination.
 The verdict of the jury was as fol lows:
 .'We, the coroner's jury, having been duly summoned and sworn by Dr. l.. Fearing to inquire into what caused the death of Ella NJ. Cropsey, do here by report that from the investigation made by three physicians of Elizabeth City and from their opinions and also from our personal observation said Ella NJ. Cropsey came to her death by being stricken q blow on the left tenn pie and by being drowned in the Pas quotank river.
 We have not yet investigated nor heard any testimony as to who inflicted the blow and did the drowning. We are informed that one James Wilcox Is charged with the same and is now in custody. We recommend that investi- gation as to his or any one else's prob able guilt be had by one or more mag istrates in Elizabeth City township and that said Wilcox be beld to await said investigation"
 James Wilcox, IT,, son of Sher1H Wilcox. was the last person seen with the girl. He called on her the night of her disappearance and on leaving the house asked her to accompany him to the door. She went with him and was not seen again. Wilcox says they quarreled at the door, and he left the girl standing on the porch. Anticipating that trouble may be brewing for young Wilcox, the naval reserves have been ordered out to maintain order and peace and to see that no violence is offered Wilcox. By order of the mayor all the barrooms i'll the city have been closed. Wilcox has been removed from the mayors office, | where he has been since his arrest, to the county jail for his own protection and a strong guard has been placed around the jail to see that no violence | is offered him.
 The family of the dead girl refuse to express an opinion as to the cause of the death of Nell Cropsey. The mother of the girl is completely prostrated
 She has watched daily, hoping for the l return of her daughter alive, and the sad ending of the disappearance has completely broken her down. Wilcox apparently maintains the same indifferent air that has character ized his actions all the way through | this case.

M1cHIGAN's UNIQUE TOWN.

Constantine, Mich, is one of the queerest towns i'll the country. It has population of 3,000. A rented house is so rare as to be conspicuous. Nearly everybody, owns his home.
 At noon the merchants lock their doors and go to dinner. The men folks on their way to business in the morning stop at the market and leave an order for meat for the noon meal. They do not say how much, for the butcher has come to know the amount each customer wants.
 The order is simply for meat. The butcher seldom has more than one kind at 9 time. Thus it happens that on some days the whole town eats ham, on others mutton or steak. Few canned goods are sold i'll the town and everybody has a garden.
 Several years ago when a factory was established there it put in an electric light plant. The town board l arranged for lighting the streets from this power, and there is one incan- descent light in the middle of each block. This is the only public inn provement in the town. The people as a whole are intelligent and hospit- able. When a travelling man goes to Constantine for orders he is usually the guest of a merchant. One of this class was there for week no1 long ago, and it is from him that the foregoing information was obtained
 All things considered, he prefers Con- stantine to some of the larger towns on his route, and he is authority for the statement that there isn't another town in the country like Constantine.
