The strange story, we'll authenticate
ed comes from New York that wonl-
an recently died there who had been
playing the part of a man for many
years. His wife and himself or her.
self became infatuated with each other
and were married. They adopted two
children to make it appear that they
were their own and thus carry out the
deception. No one knows why the
woman husband impersonated man,
except she preferred to act the man
rather than fill her mission as wom-
an.-Ex.

Benton Center Wednesday and fur

man of Industrious habits and will
make happy home for the compan-
ion he has chosen in life. He is we'll

Mr.. and Mrs. Theo Ordway mourn
the loss of the infant babe that came
to their home, Tuesday morning and
remained with them less than one
half hour, then its little form took
its winged flight to the spirit world
| beyond, where is no sorrow or death
or parting of those we love, who are
near and dear to us, leaving the par
ents hearts aching with grief at the
loss of this white winged angel, who
remained with them for SO short a
time. The little one was laid to rest
in its last earthly resting place in the
Bowen cemetery. The mother ia in
a very precarlous condition but with
the good care and nursing she is re-
celving she will undoubtedly soon
be restored to her usual good health
again. Their friends and neighbors
extend their heartfelt sympathy in
this dark and sad hour OF trial.

appearing in the eastern horizon OF
another day that called the revelert

ly toll for days and weeks to come
they will ever remember the joyful
good time they had at this home and
the good treatment they received al
