Peats was running a small establish

deTfuI advance in the wallpaper bust

while? It was advertising.
A newspaper man in 1892 induced
him to experiment with printers ink.
The result was profitable. Peats didn't

Using appropriation and as his profits
doubled he doubled his space in the

BRIEFS ABOUT BADGERS

By the marriage in GAINESVILLE Thurs
day Of Miss Helen Fifeld to Ross
King, the mysterious disappearance of
the young lady two years ago. is re
called. The pretty bride is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs Frank F'ifeld, and
one morning they found she had not
slept in her bed. A search was I'M
mediately begun. The river was drag
ged, and the police of nearby towns
were asked to help in the search 1t
was not until ten days afterwards that
the young lady was located in Buffalo.
She was brought home and declared
she did not know what made her leave
home. Mr.. King, the groom, was at
that line engaged to her. and he left
his business to aid the family in try
ing to find the missing girl. The we'd
ding was one of the swell society
events of the season, as both bride
and groom are leaders among the
younger set.
Mrs. H. Kinkaid of Milwaukee is the
author of a novel entitled Walda.
Mary Holland Kinkaid was born and
reared in Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania
Soon after being graduated from a
Philadelphia school she accompanied
her parents to Colorado. In 1886 she
entered upon a severe course of that
journalistic training which has de-
veloped so many capable and eloquent
American writer's. Later she became
interested in the political develop
ment of women in the west, and held
an important position for year and a
half as assistant state superintendent
of public instruction in Colorado, at
the end of which time she resigned in
order to return to literary work.
Waldo is Mrs. Kinkaids first novel,
and is a powerfully written story of
young prophecies in an American re-
ligious community where love and
marriage are frowned upon, who
struggles between her religion and her
lover. 1t has the irresistible charm
of an intense love stoy developed in an
atmosphere of austere piety.
