a shoo+;no Gallery Secret.

The beach was empty. The board
walk was dead. The shooting gallery
man was packing to go south for the
winter.
do you see this glass ball?' he said.
It was a ball of hollow glass, an airy
glass soap-bubble, that had swung all
summer at the end of a thread In the
foreground of the clay pipes, bells and
wlratnot that had made up the gallerys
targets.
"This glass ball." the man went on,
sis my great moneymaker. All sum
mer long people tried to hit this ball
it was bigger and nearer than any other
target and everybody failed. Thou
sands of bullets were fired at the ball;
thousands of nickels were spent on it;
yet here it is, still untouched, my best
breadwinner.
"All wise shooting gallery men have
a glass ball like this. 1t makes such
a tempting target; yet it is never hit.
1t is never hit because the air that
precedes gun charge is sufficient to
blow the ball aside, out of the way.
You might fire hundred shots at it,
but, like living thing, like timid
soldier, for instance, it would dodge
each shot"

Verdict Concerning Husbands ALL
mont, Ends All for Both-Each Was

,Nerve-GirI Then Shoots Both

Smithsville, Mo-, Oct 12.-Less than
two weeks after her wedding day Mrs.
Jesse B. Webb heard physicians pro-
nounce her boy husband a consump-
tive, with little hope for recovery, and
none unless he at once sought another
climate. 1t was the first problem OF
night the girl bride died. and her hus-
band is dying, the fulfillment of an
agreement to end their lives together.
This time it was the woman who
carried out the desperate contract. L:
was the only way they could see. but
the husband in his devotion shranli
from carrying it out. She, loving him
too well to see him die and live, agreed
to be the murderer. She shot him,
in their new home, yesterday, and then,
believing him dead, turned the weapon
on herself, pouring bullets into her
breast as long as strength remained to
make her death more certain.
Whispers Their Story as He Dies.
When neighbours found them the
husband was still alive and conscious.
He whispered their story. Had fortune
been kinder to them they might have
survived. But they had no means 10
seek another climate and both knew
his death was only a matter OF weeks
They had figured the problem out IN
many heartbroken talks. He had tried
to make his wife believe she would
survive his death and time would heal
her grief. But she would not look b9-
yond his death. No argument he could
use awaited against her devotion.
Both their hearts had been broken
by the shock of the doctors verde:
coming within few days of their
marriage. while they were still full Of
plans for the future. $50 they had re-
solved to die together.
He did not want her to die with the
sin of murder, but said he could not
nerve himself to kill her first. She
solved this problem, too. He is nos
expected to live thru the night.
Tragedy Sequel to Romance.
The tragedy was the sequel to a ro-
nance. Webb, who was only % years
old, met the girl, who was 10, eight
months ago in st. Joseph, where he
was employed. The girl was consider
ed belle in Fairfax, Mo-, where her
father, L. n. Wall1up, lives Theirs was
a case Of love at first sight, to which
the parents Of the girl objected. They
overcame this by clipping to Topeka,
Kas., two weeks ago and marrying.
Then they came here and started
A week after their marriage physl-
clan told Webb he was suffering with
and must go to "a more
favorable climate at once If he would
save his life. They could not afford

LIBRARIANS FAVOR PLAN.
Agree to Adopt List Of 800 simpIified
Spelled Words.

Ottumwa, Oct 12-Phonetic spelling
was given an endorsement by the state
Librarians in session here yesterday
Hereafter the 500 simpliHed spellinss,
as Endorsed by President Roosevelt,
will go into Mll correspondence OF u
brarians turnout the state and Will De
otherwise used as to make the Snoit
route spelling popular.
The matter was presented by john
son Brigham, state librarian, during
the round table session for college and
library reference librarians. Att:
some little discussion 1t was decided
to use the reform system wherever pos
sible. About the first thing therefore
that will occupy the attention of the
librarians on their return home, will be
the necessity of securing list of the
new words and begin practicing on
them.
The session yesterday opened with
an address on Library Binding, by
Miss Gertrude Stiles of Chicago. Fol-
lowing this the executive board of the
committee on library binding made -
report thru the chairman, Malcomb G.
Uyer.
After this round table for smaller
libraries with five minute talks on
practical library topics was conducted
by Miss Alice S. Tyler, SECRETARY of
the Iowa library commission. Miss
Mary I. Amidon, librarian Of Coe Col
lege, conducted the round table for col
lege and library reference librarians
At the session in the afternoon Miss
Bessie s. Smith, librarian of the Du-
buque public library, conducted a
round table for the larger libraries. An
address entitled, The Purpose of the
Story Hour" delivered by Miss Edna
Lyman Of Oak Park, ILL.,, attracted
much attention. Many of the teachers
of the city attended this address as
Miss Lyman's practical work among
children has made her a very popular
speaker among teachers.
The principal feature of last nights
meeting was the address delivered by
Prof. S. H. Clark, head Of the depart
ment of public speaking Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago. Professor Clark's
subject was Literature and the Com
munity."
The two meetings today will close
the convention. The election of officers
will be held late this afternoon. The
principal address of the day was de-
Hvered by Purd B. Wright, public Ii
brarian at st. Joseph, Mo.

Mr.. Rosewater, who had his portrait

and he was very proud of it. When it
came home he showed it to his cook.

It's beautiful. It's divine
'And, of course said my friend,
