"Jim" Squid Decorates Beach Bellies,
Shocking Parents.

Atlantic City, N. Jim" Squid, ex-
sailorman and expert handler of India
ink points, is in hiding from irate
fathers and brothers of a score of fair
bathing maids since the latter proudly
appeared on the beach the other day
with tattoo marks on their fair arms
and shoulders.
Spectators perched in beach chairs
gasped when they saw the first girl
swing up the beach bearing on her
rounded upper arm an entwined anchor
and cable, and the surprise became
shock when it was discovered that
other beach maidens had adopted the
fad of having their arms marked with
various devices
At first glance it was supposed that
the marks, which ranged from the
anchor to hearts pierced with arrows,
were merely painted on, but when
it was discovered that the marks were
needed in and practically indelible
there was general stampede among
parents to discover the artist.

Kansas City.-Most peculiar of all
wills is that of William F. Norton,
millionaire of Louisville, which has
been filed here.
The Norton estate. valued approx

states. The Kansas City property in

street and Woodland avenue, and 9TH
er property at Forty-first street and
Woodland avenue. The Kansas City
realty is valued at about $4,000
1t was necessary to file the will in
Kansas City in order that the execut-
ors might properly administer that
part OF the estate here.
Norton owned the Auditorium the
alter in Louisville besides many other
pieces of valuable real estate. Be-
cause the city authorities of Louisville
did not agree with him in his ideas of
wide open" town he became dissat-
is6ed with the city where he lived so
many years and where he amassed a
fortune. This dissatisfaction and his
peculiar ideas are eXemplified in the
words of part of his will, which fol-

church building was in romantic
half light, the illumination being
furnished by Japanese lanterns.
Strands of gayly colored cord con-
nected the booths and lines of bunt-
ing ran up to the roof. The scheme
of decorations, in other words, was
tied together. POSTS smilingly dick
cred for half-pound of candy kisses.
All that is appropriate to say when
one is buying candy kisses was on
tap because the girls back of the
booth were according to POSTS style
of beauty.
Turning half around he saw a
young woman dressed in white. Some
sort of a mantilla was draped from,
her head and POSTS thought it was
ghost. In a second he was on his
way. His foot caught in a tablecloth
and amid screams and the overturn-
candy kiss department. Yelling in
terror as though the ghost was at
his heels, he continued through the
church, bunting, flags, candy, cake,
watermelon, fancy work, all follow
ing as the string which apparently
connected the stands was pulled
tight. The deaconesses' table and the
fortune teller's tent were wrecked.
POSTS in his hurry forgot his candy
kisses. He will have hard time
getting them, as the sociaPs assets
were swept in a heap after he had
broken up the party.

5000 for a Cup of Coffee.

Plymouth, Mass.-For a cup of cof-
fee which she once gave to stranger.
Mrs. Harvey Bartlett of Wellingsley
has received $4,000. The gift is from
Mrs. B. Lilley of New York city.
Many years ago while waiting for a
train at the Kneeland street station
of the Old Colony railroad Mrs. Bart
let's sympathy was aroused by the
sight of an elderly woman, who was
travelling alone and who appeared to
be i'll. Mrs. Bartlett went to a lunch
room and got cup of coffee for her.
Mrs Lilley, as she proved to be, did
not forget the kindness, and has since
sent Mrs. Bartlett numerous gifts.

The will was filed here by J. F.
Houlehan, a real estate dealer in the
New England building, Norton's agent
IN Kansas City.
In leaving his family home to two
cousins Norton provided that his suite
of rooms in the home were to be
locked up and never disturbed. No one
was to occupy them. He remembered
his cook, his secretary and other faith
full employees with requests of from
81 900 to $4,000. His physician re-
ceived $4,000 to be spent in studying
in New York and Europe.
Norton was a bachelor His life
was insured for $4,000. His will
provided that after the requests were
paid the rest of his estate should be
converted into trust fund to estab-
lish Baptist home for orphans in
Louisville.
At the beginning of the will are
stanzas of poetry from Prior, Byron
and Shakespeare. 1t is all in the same
strain as this, which was quoted from
Prior:
Who breathes must suffer, and who
thinks must mourn:
And so alone is blest who meier was born.
The executors of the estate have
carried out their instructions to the
letter.

OF course, realism is all well enough

to an excess. Here, for instance. is
the case of that barn dance in the

KAEA MAKES CHARGES
WHICH LACK PROOF

George Kaea, the deposed legislative
candidate, took the soap-box forum in
his own behalf yesterday. The burden
of his talk, according to some of the
listeners was that he considered Charlie
Chillingworth s part in his, Kaea IS, re-
moval from the ticket was particularly
ungrateful, because, he said, while he
was making the gambling record which
has been his undoing, Chillingworth,
being at the time Deputy High Sheriff,
was his partner. More than that he
declared that Chillingworth got more
money out of the partnership than he
did.
Kaea said it was true, that he had
been arrested and fined for gambling
sometimes, and had paid his fine But
at other times he had paid Charlie Chill
lingworth first and then had neither
been arrested nor fined. ChiIlingworth,
he declared, had, when he was Deputy
High Sheriff, received money from
others not to arrest them for gambling.
