today by a United States marshal and
carried off to Philadelphia as a witness
against some green goods men said to

merchant. Ben Williams, on whom the
bill had been passed, and made a clear
breast of the transaction. The case was
reported to the federal authorities and

A wealthy engineer who had set up a
very fine place in the country, whore
he had carried out many pet construc-

old friend. The visitor had so much
difficulty in pushing open the front
gate that he spoke about it to the pro-

"You ought to look to that gate" he
said. "a man who has everything ex-
actly right should not have a gate
that is hard to open"

The reception was the elimination of a

Fond du Lac bellies who have been mar

Simmons attended all of them and when
she assisted Mrs. G.. A. Galloway, who
entertained in honor of Miss Fannie
Givens, now Mrs. J. B. Perkins, she an
nounced that she would receive ali Of
the, guests and that there would be a
man there, too.
Man Was There.
All arrangements were then made for
the shower. THe date was set, and a
luncheon was prepared for the guests.
Many were the exclamation of surprise
when Miss Simmons declared that Il
man would attend a shower" for it has
not been customary to include both par

charming brides were asked to be pres

they had been at other similar functions.
Whispers were passed from one to the
other, and all eyes were turned to every

climax came when the guests entered
the dining ro0Gl.
At the head Of the table sat the

There was nothing sad about the af-

The skull which Miss Simmons used to
