settlers. In Mobile, Ala, shortly aft

A woman and boy answering the de-
scription were living in that town. but
are now proved not to be the Evanston
runaways.
Hoping against hope and with the
heartbreaking sorrow crushing their
hearts, Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers early last
December inserted an advertisement
in the newspapers calling upon the
missing boy and his aunt to come home
for Christmas and all would be for
given. All day Christmas they watched
for the return of the fugitives, and
during the night lamp was kept burn
ing brightly in the window of the home
on Hinman avenue to welcome their
return. The family felt sure that they
would come, but they were doomed
to disappointment
AS a last effort to reach the missing
couple or secure information regard
ing them, Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers have
resorted to the chain letter scheme.
Here is their plea for help:
Dear Friend-Wiu you kindly help a
heartbroken father and two mothers
in an effort to find their loved ones by
writing three copies of this letter and send
| ing them. over your own signature, to
three friends, making the same request OF
them, and so on forming an endless chain.
Miss Florence A. Ely and nephew. Frank
Ely Rogers, disappeared from their home,
713 Hinman avenue, Evanston, Ill, July
13, 1901. Nothing has been heard of them
since.
Miss Ely is 40 years of age, about five
feet three inches in height, very thin and
weighs from 80 to 100 pounds; face rather
long and very expressive; dark brown
hair; large dark brown eyes, with an in
tense expression, are her most noticeable
feature; good music teacher; attractive to
children.
Frank E. Rogers will be IA years Of age
in March, 1902 Height about five feet two
inches; weight about so pounds; medium
brown hair, gray blue eyes, long, slender
hands, is left handed, writes with either
right or left; draws well, always using left
hand. Only love and a glad welcome await
them both. large reward will be cheer
fully given for information leading direct
ly to the restoration of either both.
Printed letters with pictures will be sent
upon request. Send all information to
JAMES C. ROGERS,
713 Hinman avenue, Evanston, Ill.
AS these letters, by the aid of SYM
pathetic and kind people, go broad
cast over the country in ever widening
circle and reach perhaps every nook
and corner of the United States, the
result sought for may be attained and
a mystery cleared up which in some
respects is one of the most puzzling
| ever coming to the notice of the po-
lice. If Frank Rogers and Miss Ely are
alive, how has it been possible to elude
the shrewdest detectives of the coun-
try? If dead, what has become of their
bodies and why have they not been
discovered? If they have left the coun-
| try, where have they secured the
means for so long an absence and so
| extended a trip? These are some of
the questions one is led to ask in con-
sidering the case, and which may never
be answered this side the grave.

skeleton of a Prehistoric.

While digging cave on their farm
near Lansing Joseph and NJ. Con-
cannon found what appears to be the
skeleton of a prehistoric man. The
ind was made in the red clay of the
river bank, 65 feet below the surface
Of the ground. Practically all the
bones were found, and by comparing
them with man of average stature
it would seem that the owner of the

The bones of the arm at the wrist

In the Wrong Place.

An old printer is quoted as author
ity for this story of Horace Greeley:
'sOne day as he sat at his desk he
looked up and saw a small boy stand
ing beside him. Well, sonny, what
do you want?' he piped. I want a
place to work in your office And
what do you want that for?' asked
the old man. I want to grow up and
get rich,' was the answer. Mr..
Greeley looked at him for moment.
