side a Tree in Thicket, to
Which He Was Attached
by Means of Twig, Still
Unknown.
Special to The Tines

East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 1S.-No light
has yet been shed on the identity Of
the man whose body was found fastened
to a tree by means of willow branch
that had been twisted about his neck

a mile south of the Calumet river
bridge, near the Gibson yards.
That he was murdered is still the
belief of the police and others who
know the circumstances. An autopsy
was conducted yesterday by DR.. Rolla
Hale. and the inquest is in progress
this afternoon.
That he was man In good circum-
stances is now questioned inaslnuch as
he had no underware when found and
his stockings, tie and collar were of
cheap quality. The latter was of cellu-
loid, the tie was a made four-in-hand.
and the socks he wore were OF gray
mixed cotton yarn.
On the other hand. Sergeant Charlie
Bowen points to the fact that the alb
sence of underware might indicate that
the man had been killed while sleep
ing, partially dressed and taken to the
scene where his body was found In the
opinion of the physicians who conduct
ed the autopsy, the body had been dead
less than two months and possibly
not more than four weeks.
Description o. Body.

bearing It's full weight on the knees,
and slightly leaning forward.

ments and observations taken by DR..
Hale as being between 35 and 3S years

a red one. His collar was size 16H
his tie was brown. his shoes No. o
of black calf, nearly new His black
stiff hat, size ", was found on the
ground beside him
Inquiries have been made from Michi.
gan City and Chicago. but the descrip-
1 tion of the parties sought did not tally
, with that of the deceased.
/ He was buried yesterday in Hess
! vile in the potter's field.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself And SO it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Residents of this
vicinity are constantly testifying to
permanent cures.
August Ballerstedt, of Swedesboro, n
j., says: For a long time suffered from
kidney trouble and my health became all
run down, / felt tired and worn out and
Kidney Pills were brought to my notice,
/ commenced their use and to my delight.
they helped me at once Ny kidneys soon
began to do their work prt3;erly' and the
result was that every symptom of kidney
trouble disappeared. Two boxes of Doan s
Kidney Pills made me well and In return,
l am glad to recommend them"

BIB WITH CROSS WORK DESIGN.

cross stitch is the working in of the
understitch in one direction and the
crossing of every top stitch in the
other direction.
On only few materials of a canvas.
scrim or basket weave and perchance
linen or burlap of unusual evenness
can the work be done without this
penelope canvas. Cross stitching is
quite as dependent upon the design as
any other of the embroideries. 1t may
be just plain monotonous or else posi-
lively fascinating in the way the pat
tern develops.
The bib illustrated is bit of cross
work with design of blue peacocks
comfortably perched on their red fence.
The hemstitching on this linen hucka-
back is no finer than the hand done
hem about the neck, and even the
tapes are finished at the ends.
Perhaps child's bib is the most
simple of all the garments on which
this cross work may be shown, but it
serves quite as well as any other to
prove the why's and wherefores of nice
cross stitching.

REVIVAL OF CROSS STITCH.
An AbsurdIy Easy Embroidery That Is
Seldom Well Done.


Cross stitching is zone of those alb
surdly easy things" so we are as
sured, 1.that even the smallest child
can do Yet one rarely sees an en-
tirely satisfactory piece of this old
time fancy work, a perfect expression
of the real art of cross stitching. If
you will resurrect some sampler done
in particolored yarns by a farof grand
dame when almost in her babyhood,
but under the watchful eye of a quaint
mother of the olden times you will
find, contrary to your expectation, that
even she did not know how. The
cross is seldom made SO that each and
every top stitch slants but one way
and the same way. There is sn intan-
gible method in cross stitching that
produces the perfect piece of work.
just as there is in knitting. No second
person can take it up and continue ex-
actly as it was begun.
1t is generally known that a coarse
stuff called penelope canvas is first
basted over the material as a guide.
The colored stitches are made through
it's squares, and its separate linen
threads are pulled out when the work

How to Wash silk Gloves.

Silk gloves should be washed in
warm water and with pure white soap
and should then be rinsed In several
clear waters Of the same temperature.
Then. instead of hanging them up to
dry by the wrists. hang them up by
the tips of the fingers. To do this pin
each finger out on a cloth and hang
up the cloth with the arms of the
gloves hanging down. This lets the
water run into the parts Of the gloves
that receive the least wear and let's
the tips, which receive the most wear,
dry the quickest.

How to Lensthen Life OF PiIiowcase.
Every housewife knows how soon
pillowcases wear out, but it took re-
markably clever woman to see at a
glance how she could prolong their
lives. When her pillowcases are be-
ginning to show signs of wear she
takes out the seam at the bottom of
the case and turns it round. so that
the side seams come directly up in the
middle Then she reseams the bottom.
Itsis easy to see that this will bring
the side of the pillow under the head.
where the wear would come. so the
pillowcase will last longer. A better
idea could not be found, and who
minds sewing up pillowcase seam?
