SEARCHING FOR
HIS LOST BOY.
An Indiana Father Here Seek
ing Kidnappers.

L. s. Byers, Of Seeleyville, Ind, is
in town in the progress of a search for
his flve-year-old son, Richmond. The
little chap is light complicated, light
hair, gray or hazel eyes, and is small
for his age. His left eye is crossed
and he squints this eye when he looks
up. There is a small v-shaped nick in
the left ear at the upper and out edge.
Mr. Byers has made search all
over the country and believes he has
been stolen by Gypsies, who may have
colored his hair and made him weir a
dress. The father is heart-broken and
offers $500 reward.
All the ponds and wells and every
place, in fact, about Seeleyville, were
thoroughly searched dozen times
over by the citizens Of the town, and
all finally concluded that little Rich
mond was kidnapped by Gypsles or
tramp movers.
1t is believed from clue obtained
that the boy was here about two
weeks ago with a woman whose hus-
band is one Of the wagon or moving
tramps.
The reward will be paid for infor-
nation leading to the recovery, or for
the return of the child, with no ques-
tions asked.

time"

friends. You know where 1t was
held. You can describe the costumes

scriptive account Of the thing"
1t was about the only thing left for
him to do. He went back to the Plain

column. lie told how beautiful the
parlors looked embarked with flowers,
described the exquisite costumes worn
by the guests-in fact, gave a detailed
descriptive account of the affair.
Then he drifted back to the cara
vansary and mingled with the boys
until a late hour, when he went to his
room. The next morning, while in
bed, as was his custom, he glanced
over the Plain Dealers only competitor
to see whether he had been "scooped."
In those days Browne was the only
man besides the city editor who gar
nered the local news. This morning
he was particularly anxious. His ae-
count of the function was played up"
in a conspicuous place in the Plain
Dealer.
He looked over the pages or the
Leader and was convinced that he
must have got a beat" on his hated
rival, as he couldn't find find an ac-
count of the function. He scanned the
columns more eagerly than ever, and
was finally rewarded by finding a
four-line paragraph at the bottom Of
one of the columns of the last page
saying that the function had been
postponed because of illness in the
family.
Browne did not show up at the
Plain Dealer Office that day. He left
town. and unceremoniously, too. He
did not tell even his intimate friends
where he was going. Several months
passed away, and he was heard of as
having been connected with a paper in
Buffalo.
1t was fully year before Browne
returned to Cleveland. The boys were
ali glad TO see him and he was kept
busy telling them of his exploits. On
the afternoon Of the day of his return
to Cleveland he came face TO face in
Superior street with Gray. his old en-
ployer.

evident that he was perturbed, what
did you mean by leaving me SO UNI

notice?"
Don't ask me-" said Browne.
But I insist that you tell me.

Browne continued, and his voice be-

why Artemus ward Quit.
From the New York Times.

James II. Ryder, who died in Cleve-
land a few days ago. was an intimate
personal friend Of Charles Farrar
Browne (Artemus Ward). When the
famous humorist whose writings and
lectures convulsed the people of both
continents, was an unknown reporter
on the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on
which paper ne made his first reputa-
ton as a humorist, Ryder's home was
his favorite haunt.
There was always a spare bed for
Browne at Ryders, and Sunday morn
ing was always an occasion of pleas
ure for Browne and Ryder and kindred
spirits who gathered to exchange gos-
sip, but principally to hear Brownies
droll comments on men and things.
1t has been said that Ryder's wife
was responsible for many of Brownies
funny sayings Mrs. Ryder was an
accomplished woman and possessed an
unlimited vein of humor. She always
mingled in the Sunday morning SYM
postum. and her comments and OBJ
servations always made a hit with
Browne.

Brownies on the Plain Dealer, and
later for many years one of the own

Cleveland. He tells many interesting

A man named Gray was proprietor

thousands of other baby girls, and II
is often remarked that ii is a strange
freak of nature that caused her TO
grow from a Ga pound child at birth
to her size at the present time.
Her father. who has been dead for
fifteen years, only weighed $50 pounds
and her mother only 115 pounds when
during her first year of existence was
only normal, but from that time on
she has made physical progress of a
remarkable character.
At the age of 90 months she tipped
the scales at 65 pounds and was too
heavy for her mother to carry around
and an anxious eye was kept on the
baby carriage, that had been made to
order with extra strong springs and
wheels.
When years old Cassie stepped

with a force that threatened to put
the machine out of business. When
the notch marked So was reached the
beam remained suspended, and the viii
lage had the champion 5-year-old girl
with weight of 1872 pounds.
Two years later Cassie weighed gil
pounds and her fame spread through
all Eastern Maine. Her subsequent
gain was steady and brought noto-
riety that would have been annoying
had not the girl been accustomed to 1t
from babyhood.
1t is only natural that all OF this re-
markable young woman's clothes have
to be made to order. She is unable to
purchase shoes of a comfortable size,
and so she wears the widest slippers
obtainable instead. She aids her moth
