OF course we don't need to re-tell the
famous old spelling book story--or was

knights who rode up to the shield from

II to be so. The countryman lives by

has to rely on his own observation for

that he's always in a crowd, to notice
that some people are color blind, and
that some are cross-eyed, and that
some are always looking down or be-

straight ahead. He sees so many mis-
fakes made b. others that Re comes 10

The very fact that this human i'm

Found Dead AT Newport.

Last Saturday morning e. W.
Windham, travelling salesman
for the Missouri Moline Plow Co.
of st. Louis, registered at the
New Hazel hotel at Newport and
was given a room. 1t was no.
ticed at the time of his arrival at
the hotel that he had been
drinking, but there was nothing
in his appearance to denote a
serious condition. The room he
occupied was not molested until
Sunday afternoon, when, Wind
ham not having appeared and
not answering to calls, the door
was broken open and he was
found dead in his bed. 1t was
the opinion of medical men that
death had occurred twelve hours
before.
A coroner's jury returned the
verdict that Windham came to
his death from some. unknown
cause. There is no suspicion of
suicide.
