POETRY AS WRITTEN
BY A ROSWELL POET.

A sample of the poetic valentines.
read at the meeting of the Shake
speare club last Saturday, is given be-
low and the member to whom it was
given can be guessed by all who
know her:
I'm a Baptist sister good and true,
| want you all to hear,
And haven't missed a sermon
For nigh unto year.
I'm not much good at praying,
But when l hear them sing,
Il bid farewell to every fear,
And make the welkin ring"
The dear old Baptist sisters,
| love them every one
From the rising to the sitting
OF the sun, sun, sun.
And then 1 love the brethren too
The minister and his people
In fact | love the Baptist church,
From the basement to the steeple.

tempted to extort $1,000 from Law
renee M. Jones, the millionaire dry
goods merchant by the display of a

of two or more men and possibly a
woman connected with the plot. The
real estate agent who rented the
house In Independence which earn ett
fitted up with chains for the impris

erly well dressed man engaged the

Evidence of a Fiendish Crime.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Evidence ibeliev-
ed to indicate a fiendish crime was
found today, when the unconscious
form of Ella Gingles, an Irish lace
maker, was found in a room of the
Wellington Hotel, a down town hos
telry of the first repute. The girl was
securely bound. suffering from lauda-
mum poisoning, and apparently had
been assaulted. One leg was tied to
the bedstead and the other to a wash
stand, and her hands were tied above
her head. Mysterious letters signed
in Miss Gingle's name, but which may
not have been written by her. and in
which she said she was about to be
or was being murdered, figure in the
case.
The theory is that the girl was lur-
ed to the hotel, piled with drink and
ultimately made the victim of a horri-
BILE attack. Evidence that she was sub
jected to extraordinary torture and
that she fought with desperation Is
shown in burns, bruises and cuts
about the body and head. lighted
candle is believed to have been used
in the attempt to subdue her. While
being taken to the hospital the uncon-
scious girl raved frequently mention
ing a man and woman.

$4,000, huge elephant consigned

kindly to travelling, and sickened
after a few days in the car. The
animal was nursed and kept alive

despite the appeals of the purchas-
