National and the Citizens bank and
at both places payment of the check
was deferred. In the meantime one
of the banks telephoned to Mr. James
and learned that he had not signed
such a check.
The alarm was Immediately turned
in and officers sent out &c arrest the
men. They had disappeared, but
little later Billhart was found in a

The other man was discovered some

n WILL BE RALPH Hereafter.
4 Youngsters outspokenness That
Taught Grandpa a Lesson.

There is a very well-known man in
Brooklyn who Is particularly proud
Of his grandson, a bright boy of four
years and few months. But, like
all fond grandpas, he believed teas
ing amusing to the child as well as
to himself-and he recently received
the shock he deserved. The little lad
was playing industriously with doll
when the proud grandpa said:
my! playing with a doll-why youl
name must be Susie-not Ralph"
No word from the boy, who kept
right on playing with the doll.
SUSIE" said the grandpa, just rush
ing to his fate, do you like dolls?"
The boy moved perceptibly, but
chung to the doll.
Dear little Susie-you used to be
boy"
The boy lifted his head indignant
ly and with deep pathos, said: Grand
pa, hate to tell you so, but you're .
d fool"
Great was the CONSERVATION Of the
grandfather and amazement Of the
mother, who tragically ordered the boy
to his room, while she called atten.
ton to the tears that rolled down her
cheeks at such a fearful offense. FL
nally she told the little fellow that he
might be forgiven II he begged his
grandpa's pardon. But the boy be-
lieved his grandpa the offender and
said 50. His mother sternly read hiO
a lesson against profanity, and espe.
cially about disrespect to grandpar-
ents. The little fellow was touched,
and going over to his grandpa said,
compromisingly ~'..-'
Il am sorry called you a d
fool-but If cannot call you a fool
can call you lemon?"
Hereafter grandpa will call Ralph
by his right name.-Brooklyn Eagle.

VICTIM OF CONSCIENCE.

Woman Played by Carrie Nation Ends
Her Life.
Des Moines.-Shamed in public by
Carrie Nation, Mrs. Ann d. Sperry
("Vernie Dawson"D killed herself at
210 East Court avenue at midnight
after an evening of the widest rev.
elry.
She left the dance hall in the midst
of the orgy and took a number Of
mercury tablets. Her companions
suspected her intention from the man
ner in which she has been brooding
over Mrs. Nations reproaches and
followed her to her room. There
they found her lying on the bed, al
ready losing consciousness. DR..
Welpton was summoned, but by the
time he arrived, the poison had gone
into her system. She lived until 6
o'clock, and before she died, told the
inmates of the house that she had
kidnapped her two small children from
the Davenport Children's home two
weeks ago.
Before she could tell their address,
she died.
The woman was divorced from her
husband in Galesburg ILL.,, recently
and he was given the custody of the
children.
When Carrie Nation made her night
visit to the houses of i'll fame on her
Chautauqua trip to Des Moines she
singled out VERNE Dawson for Wit
riolic censure and called on her to
reform. The girl sobbed at the time
and left the room, afterwards, it Is
said, sending for Mrs. Nation to tell
her her troubles.
The woman was % years old and
had been in the resort only a short
time,
