Everything Travels Toward the Boy

everything ITave'S IoWoTo s"S ooy'
An old case knife flew through a
room and stuck in the floor near
the old grandmother. An ornament
on heating stove was jerked off and
thrown across the room. Books, soap,
sausage, and many things movable in
the home have been performing queer
pranks.
Thinking that the environments of
the home had something to do with
the events, the lad was sent to the
home of relative, three miles in the
country, where, it is said the strange
occurrences are still taking place
daily.
There are many attempts at solving
the mystery. At first it was thought
that the house, which is built of
brick, had in some manner been cleo
trif1ed, which was soon disproved. An
other theory is that the boy has &C.
cumulated hidden force which was
acting without his knowledge. Others
think that the lad has the strange
power possessed by mediums. Still
others believe that the circumstances
all have natural causes, whatever they
may be.
Nevertheless, whether it is a
scheme or some spiritualistic perform
ance, the events that have TRANSFERRED
have caused great commotion in
Mount Horeb, and as many as 200 PEG
pie have visited the house.
1t is said that the lad has a high
temperature constantly, and is losing
flesh. Relatives are planning to have
the boy taken to specialist for ex
animation.
The writer recently visited thu
scene and those at the home
seemed strong in the belief tina
the boy had been hypnotized ant
left in that condition. Since the little
fellow has been taken to the coun
try nothing extraordinary has trans
pired at the home in the village bu
strange movements of articles hav'
followed him to the country.

Contempt sat scornfully ON Wey'
mans fine features, contempt tngeo
strongly with cynical amusement, as
he watched the jostling throng OF
women ever thickening towards the
center of the store
Up and down the broad aisles OF
Blank Bros first floor stalked red
headed floor-walker, not without Gym
ical amusement himself, chanting his
directions in loud, insistent voice
which penetrated everywhere, chal-
longing attention from enrapturcd
shoppers at the different counters and
sending them flying for place in line
at the Five Minute Shears Sale.'
AS the seller held up the first pair
of shears the women massed madly
towards him. Hats were knocked SIDE
ways, giving their owners decidedly
<ipsy appearance, toes were trodden
on violently and skirts were divorced
from yainlv clasping belts.
'The DOM u ant human DESIRE" NUT
tered Weyman, "to get something for
nothing! No doubt they could dupli-
cate those shears for dime at or
binary times. By Jove! the avoirdu-
pois in purple is wading in for a Sec
ond pair. Confound her! she DELHI
erately knocked Golden Locks out of
the way"
Golden Locks, slender, gray-gowned,
her nickel upheld in childishly small
hand, made a pitifully inadequate ef-
fort to regain her lost advantage. She
was not strong enough, and with a
gesture absolutely tragic she turned
from the crowd. AS she faced Wey-
man he saw to his utter establishment,
that unconscious tears were rolling
down her cheeks.
Then her eyes-violet, long-lashed,
despairing-met his. Something in
the girls glance moved Weyman to
the very thing he most objurgated in
others-unreasoning impulse.
He sprang forward, lifted the girl
as though she were feather, and
held her over the heads of the other

what kind of flowers should be car

BLUE BIRD.
Hats of leghorn with wreaths of
forget-me-nots and blue tulle trim
ming would be lovely and perfectly
proper. The maid Of honor could wear
blue, the maids white over blue. All
the gowns should be similar in char
acter. White roses tied with blue
gauze would be pretty for bouquets.

POWER OF ATTRACTING INANI.
MATE OBJECTS.
BELIEVED TO BE HYPNOTlZED
Home Has Been Visited by Hundreds
Of People, Who Cannot Account
for the Strange Hap
peninqs.

Mount Horeb, Wis.-The citizens OF
this village have been considerably
troubled during the past few weeks by
the actions Of Henry Brophy, young
lad II years of age.
The boy lives with his grandparents
in the center of the village and Is a
lad of more than usual intelligence.
The grandparents are aged people.
They are retired farmers, having
purchased nice home at Mount Horeb
and moved to that village about year
ago.
The first strange acts were no.
ticed on March 3, and since that time
stories as weird as the phantom ghost
have been transpiring in rapid sue
cession. The strange occurrences al.
ways take place in the presence OF
the boy, never when he is absent from
the house.
Some of the best and most highly
respected people of Mount Horeb claim
to have witnessed scenes for which
they cannot give the slightest expla'
nation.
1t seems that the prevailing circum.
stances are that all articles that move
about in mysterious manner nearly
always travel in the direction of the
boy, who is usually on the opposite
side of the room from that side from
which the article starts.
On one occasion a relative brought
a basketful of eggs to the house and
set them upon the table, and while
talking to the members of the family
one egg suddenly flew out of the bias
ket, striking the boy in the face. Or
another occasion a drawer in the sew
ing machine came out of it's place and
came flying through the room, scat
tering the contents in every direction

women just in time to exchange her
nickel for the very last pair of shears.
The neighboring clerks, both men
and women, the gathered clan of cash
boys, the seller of the shears, and
even the proprietor himself, who had
just stepped off the elevator, Joined in
an excited chorus of approval. Moth
ing so dramatic as this tall, splendid
ly groomed, steel-strong figure holding
the slim form of Golden Locks over
the heads of the crowd had met their
routine-wearied eyes in many long
day.
Sir" cried the seller as he pressed
the shears into the hands of Devil
cred Golden Locks, "'None but the
brave deserve the fair!' May she live
to cut our your-er-collars for long
and happy years."
Stirred by the chivalric compliment
the cashboys burst into a cheer.
Vexed and disguised, Weyman was
about to set his burden gently dowI
when suddenly the coveted shears
dropped from her gloveless fingers
and her head sank on his shoulder
She had tainted.
This caused much greater excite
ment. Advice, command, and com
ment filled the air.
Weyman cut the whole thing short
by striding out the side entrance and
depositing Golden Locks in a closed
carriage waiting there for him. He
had been en- route to the nearest sta
ton, where he expected to take the
train for his sisters country place.
Now he changed the direction curt
ly To-
Or. apgood's-Fifth Avenue"
For there had been something in
the touch of Golden Locks sunny hair
as it brushed his cheek, something in
the droop of her slim and helpless fig
ure, which made him totally averse tc

siped over by the maudlin curiosity Of
the crowd. Her shining head still rest

before they had gone halfway to the
doctors she sighed, moaned a little
and sat up, looking confusedly arount
her.

MADAME A1ERRI.

A number of men have been seen
recently wearing light gray overcoats
with black broadcloth collars and
cuffs.
Flowers, as usual, are important In
connection with spring headgear, and
wings are smart on hats of moderate
size.
Just now there seems to be race
between the dyer and the dressmaker
to see which can produce the most
new effects.
One Of the new landings in white
lawn Is embroidered all over close
ly with one color in small leaf and
dot pattern.
For pretty dress frocks there never

Charm Of Fluffy Jabot,

There is an evasive charm about q
fluffy jabot. 1t gives an "air" that is
hard to define. One of its taking ways
is it's absolute daintiness. The very
essence of freshly laundered crispness
Is the jabot, for, of course, no one
ever thinks of wearing one more than
once, or on rare occasions twice, with
out submitting the lacy trife to the
laundress. This rule must hold good
with all launderable accessories II one
would be we'll grOOmed.
