novel form Of entertainment. Mr..
Johnston uses three figures, one life

them to do Is quite wonderful. as "Jer-

and shows his teeth, while talking in
his characteristic brogue. Mr.. john

Boise, idaho, and developed natural
talent for ventriloquism many years

So far as known here B. w. Sinclair
OF the Sinclair Tea and Coffee Com
pany, is the only Marshalltown man
who has had an opportunity to witness
part of the sensational scenes Of the
Thaw trial. Mr.. Sinclair arrived home
Sunday from two weeks eastern
business trip, and spent several days IN
New York. Like any other person he
had a natural interest and curiosity to
see the inside Of the famous court OF
Justice Fitzgerald, but unlike many
thousands he was able to gain admit
lance.
Mr. Sinclair isn't easily discouraged
If he had been he would never have
been an eye witness to the scene. Al
breakfast, while reading the morning
paper, the Thaw matter was preached
at the table as the one engrossinS topic
of conversation. Mr.. Sinclair asked
what the chances were of getting into
the court room and those at the table
laughed in replying that they didn I
consider them very good. Mr.: Sinclair,
not to be deferred by any passing re-
marks Of disbursement, decided al
any rate to visit the Tombs, and have
a glimpse of Thaw as he passed down
the corridor on his way to court. While
Sinclair is Sunday school superin-
tendent, and doesn't smoke, he doesn't
always hesitate to "buy' for those who
do. Purchasing a pocketful Of good CT
CARS he went to the Tombs. He got to
talking to the jailer, presented him
with a cigar, and asked what the
chances were to see Thaw. The 5ailer
said that If Sinclair would keep moving
he wouldn't see him, but not to stand
still. Sinclair followed instructions,
and at 10 o'clock was the only one on
the corridor floor aside from, the offi-
GERS, when Harry Thaw left his cell
Thaw passed so closely to MI Sim
clair that he could have touched him.
Having had this much of a taste OF
the sensational Mr.. Sinclair decided to
see what could be done to get into
court. He went, to his friend the jailer
and asked his advice. The jaiser re-
ferred him to Mr.. Carroll, one of the
police officials who stands high, and

with the proposed measure to increase

AS the home is running behind every

allowance to be too small, it was be-

is thought here that possibly some APP
preparation will be made instead Of in
creasing the allowance, and thus give
the institution an increased support

To me life is a highway leading
through a strange country where no

1t is bordered with green fields and
countless flowers and leads from an
unknown point of departure to an un-

we believe, was from omnipotence, and
therefore our going, we hope, is to i'm

baton. Each is chlseling a credit or
a debit. AS the flowers by the wayside
give out their perfume to US in abun-
