Incidents of Excursion.-It is said
that some of the excursionists to Mus
catine Sunday, not members of the
East End club, attempted to dispell
the gloom while in Muscatine, by gen
erous portions of liquid refreshments.
A rig was secured and the young men
started out for ride. 1t is said that
the rig upset by their careless driving
and that considerable damage was
done. 1t is understood that it cost
each of the participants SO to square
up with the liveryman for the damage.
1t is also reported that excitement was
furnished on the return trip by the
declaration of a young lady that she
was going to drown herself. 1t seems
that her escort turned out TO be a gay
young Lothario, and that he gave his
girl the cold shoulder and spent much
time with another young lady. This
did not please the aforesaid young
lady, and she became SO detected that
life did not seem worth living

a few minuts, after which he was lifted
into carriage and was taken 10 his
lodgings at 1109 Thirteenth avenue.
Though very weak Mr. Olson was able
to reach the train and return to his
home.
Death Was Sudden. Although he
had eaten a hearty supper and had re-
tired apparently in the best of health,
Edward Henry Lueders died very sud
denly at the home of his father in
Coaltown yesterday at 4:45. The
cause of death was pronounced by DR..

Child Was on Visit. - Raymond Lit
tig. 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs Ar
thur LittiG, of 1434 Twenty-seventh
avenue, who was drowned yesterday
in an abandoned cistern on the Vessel
residence property in Stewartville, had
accompanied his mother on neighbor-
ly visit He was allowed TO roam at
will, and in his roaming about the
yard, he walked on the boards which
covered a cistern which was used only
for surface water. The boards were
badly decayed and even the weight OF
the child was too much for them to
bear. The boy was precipitated into
the water, and was drowned before
anyone knew that he was even in dan
ger When Mrs. Littig was about to
return home she looked about the yard
for the child, for it had been scarcely
10 minutes since he had been last
seen. Then the break in the cistern
covering was found and investigation
revealed the child's body in the water.

Color Troubles of Whittier.

1t is we'll known that the poet Whit
tier was color blind and unable to dis
tinguish red from green. He once
bought for himself a necktie which he
supposed to be of a modest and suit
able olive tint and wore it once. He
never wore it again, for his friends
soon made him aware that it offended
against the traditional quietness of
costume enjoined alike by the habits
of the Friends and by his own taste.
The tie was of flaming scarlet.
On another occasion, when he found
a little girl in distress on account Of
a new gown, made over from her elder
sisters. which was not becoming to
her coloring and complexion, he tried
to console her.
II wouldn't mind what a rude boy
says about it, Mary he said kindly.
Thee looks very we'll indeed in it,
like an Dread, Mary, dressed all in
green
Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed
in green. She was red-haired, and her
dress was red. That was the trouble.
