HAIRPIN IN The BUTTER.
Indiana Youth in Jail Charged With
Fraud.

Kokomo, Ind, April 25.-The art of
butter making has been the novel means
employed by Mr.. Ora Mckinney of near
Russiaville to aid him in finding a
wife. Young Mckinney placed a small
wooden toilet box containing a hair
pin, a bottle of choice perfume and a
note in the center of what was sold for
a pound Of golden butter. The butter
was bought by a New London buck
ster, who sold it to one of the first la
dies of the town. In cutting the roll of
butter she discovered the toilet box in
which was a note which read as fol-
lows;
Near Russiaville, Howard County,
Ind, April Is, 19O2-Two miles south and
one half mile west of Russiaville is
where I live. I am a young man, a
housekeeper, poultry raiser, gardener
and soap maker and butter maker. I
try this project to get an answer and
to see where the pound of butter goes.
Smell this paper and see how sweet it is
perfumed- Write Immediately whoever
gets this. Your respectfully.
''MR. ORA MCKINNEY,
"Russiaville Ind"
Mckinney is under arrest for perpe-
trating a fraud.

DOG PLAYED PING-PONG.
Swallowed the Ball and Came Under
Surgeons Care.

New York, April 25.-Brownie is the
pet collie of Mrs. Gustav Jacoby, Of No
1861 Madison avenue. Several weeks ago
pingpong set was brought to the
house and the game has been a regular
amusement every day after dinner since.
Several of the family were playing
the game last evening when they heard
loud yeIls of agony from the dog. They
rushed into the next room and found
Brownie writing in pain. They missed
one OF the ping-pong balls. which the
dog was last seel playing with, and
came to the conclusion that he had
swallowed it.
So pitiful We're the means of the dog
that Miss Elsie Jacoby ordered a cab
and drove down to the New York Can
inc Infirn airy, where DR.. Fl. K. Miller
examined the animal. He found a
large needle sticking in his throat apd
took it out with a pair Of forceps.
This did not, however. seem to allay
the pain of the animal so operation
was decided upon. It was found thar
pieces Of the ping-pong ball were stick
ing in the animals anatomy, and these
were all extracted.
Later in the day Brownie was on the
high road to recovery

Affected by French and

The neH automobling hat is of chip, with
its raised velvet edge, the simple rosettes OF
satin relieving the plainness Of the lower
brim. In contrast to this we find the violet
and green berried affair, with its strong,
vivid beryl green ,streamers and twists and
under brim finish.
The later summer will show a greater
amount of ostrich and tendency of the very
fashionable set to use wings and quill effects
almost entirely. Flowers, too, will be adopted
but only the ultra fashionable will lead the
floral styles to a. great extent. They Will
have hats of both, but they will emphasize
many of the new ideas just being produced.
The newest trend Of fashion is to have
the brim scoop down quite sharply over the
face. These hats are more or less ornamented
and usually becoming. Again, there are hats
which flare very decidedly away from the
face; the brims rise and extend at a 45-
degree angle completely around to the side
of the hat. Coquelcot rosettes, pompons
dotted with round rosettes of chenille in tne
center, almost sunlower or dasy-like in tLeir
effects, still maintain their popularity, espec
tally with ready-to-wear hats. All these ro-
~ settes pompons and shell-like effects of straw
braids, silks, malines and even flower petals
are natty, neat, and have particularly
"snappy' look which is much liked by the
French as we'll as the American well-dressed

next Governor Stimson's campaign
for nomination, and more mastery
one was never conducted. Mr.. Ins-
ley. like Judge Stimson, wins friends
at first sight and like the latter pos
sesses the character to hold on to
them. 1t is conceded that he is the
best loved member of the fourteenth
general assembly, and the democra-
tic party is very fortunate to secure
man for state auditor, which import
ant office unfortunately does not al
ways call forth the highest and best
material
The old war horse, James N. Car

the republicans had a normal plural
ity of ., 600 in the state, is again in
the field for the same office. There is
little need to write of him. He has
made history in Colorado for more
than a generation and the republicans
have no man in their party who has
any business to enter against him.
The Sentinel predicted that John
G.. Schweigert of Custer county would
be nominated for attorney general
and so he was, though not without a
hard fight with Barnett of Ouray.
Mr.. Schweigert was considered the
best lawyer in the last legislature and
was chairman of the judiciary com
mittee. We believe him the best fit
ted man ever put up for the office of
attorney general in the history of the
state, for at times some rather sorry
legal hacks are wont to aspire to this
place.

tion, for some reason of it's own, cast
