of taste in household decoration is
constantly rising. People who flock
to New York for a season or two of
housekeeping long for rare and artistic

assortment of antique furniture picked
up at auctions for song. Her knowl-
edge of antiques and her familiarity
with auction rooms and methods make
her connoisseur. This furniture she

it up with her auction antiques. which

soon pays the decorator for her outlay.

farmer south of Ira by the name of G.
Harboldt Smith came to Ira and called
at the bank. He presented a check
signed c. Harboldt, payable to John
Smith for the above amount. AS the
banker, C. S. Weston, did not know him,
he told the banker that the station
agent knew that he was working for
Harboldt. Smith called on the station
agent w. E. Gearhart. AS he was busy
and could not go with Smith to the bank
he wrote a slip stating that Smith had
worked for Harboldt. The darkey took
the note to the barker and, after ques-
tioning the darkey for some time and
finding that he told straight story he
paid Smith the amount of the check. In
about three hours the banker found out
that the check had been forged and that
Harboldt had not issued such check.
Then there was a rush to find the dark
ey.
1t was learned that Smith went to
Rhodes, la. At Rhodes he plunked down
the price of ticket to Savannah, Ill.
The station agent stated that he could
not get out of Rhodes until some time
the next day. as the flyer did not stop
at Rhodes. Smith then went to the liy-
cry barn, hired a team to take him to
State Center Junction, and up to the
present date this is the last heard of
the darkey, but 1t is almost sure that he
has headed for Savannah. ILL., The tele
