Dainty Fr,lI,,

Some women nave a fancy for plain,
sheer running. and they like 1t better
than lace or embroidery for trimming
underwear. For such there are dainty
frtllings, which come in all widths.
some of which are hemst1tched. while
all are supplied with drawing string
by which to gather them.
These are easily applied to the edge
OF hens, as there are NO raw edges to
be disposed of.
The trimming IL quaint and reminds
one OF her grandmOther's linens piled
with tiny stitches and redoIent Of

ACTS LIKE a MAD MAN.
Human Being. Half Animal, Refuses
to Wear Any Clothes.


Menominee, Mich.-Ohicials at the
against q strange proposition. With
one man who is really half man and
half animal on their hands another
character of the same kind has been
thrust upon them.
The first character was brought to
the poor house years ago. His name
is James Eagen and he was born in
Marinette county. The man has no
mind at all. He refuses to wear
clothes and his body is almost covered
with long hair. He eats from the floor
Of his dwelling like an animal, can
not say q word and the only sound
he makes IL = whimper like an ami
NAL. The authorities long ago gave
up the idea of trying to clothe him as
he would tear the clothes OF of him
self q moment after they had been
put on. He does not know his own
mother and recognises only the keep
er who brings him his food.
The second character whom the au-
thorities now have ON their hands Is
Edward Simeneau. who was at one
time q bright.minded little boy in the
public schools Of the city, but who
now refuses to say word, refuses to
keep clothes on himself and. Hike Ea-
gen, eats and acts in all ways like an
animal. At an early age his brain be-
ran to soften and at 1s Year, Of age
he had no intelligence 1t all. His
condition has grown worse and sep
arats quarters will have to BE- Given
him.

WAS A BOOMERANG FOR DULL
His Method OF Collecting Bills Comes
Right Back at Him.

What proved to be a boomerang for
L. j. Dull was his method of trying
TO collect 30 cents from j. Edwin Hend-
rickson of Holiday. For his trouble
he will have to pay Hcndrickson $100.
according to Judgment entered this
morning by Judge Whitaker in the city
court. According to the testimony at
the hearing of the action. Hendrckson
had an agreement with Dull. manager
of a local dental parlor. to repair mend
decorate. cmbellish and otherwise put
in order such OF his teeth as were in
need OF such attention, the cost TO
Hendrickson being stipulated as 1913.
This was In August last After the va
rious and several molars. cuspids and
bicuspids had been pronounced strong
enough to work again, Il bill was pre-
sented to Hendrickson demanding the
payment of S10.25-a 50-cent piece more
than he was to have paid. This caused
a dispute. refusal to pay and finally
HendrlclSson was locked up in a room
and told to pay or stay there. He
didn't stay and then there was a fuss in
which Hcndrickson was roughly ham
died and then kicked down stairs. He
left the place minus his chapeau, which
was retained by the tooth flXer in lieu
of the half dollar Hendrickson filed
suit, and after relating his woes was
recompensed with judgment for 500
