after her parents removed from Tionesta

Benjamin w. May, of Chicago, and saw
much that illustrated her early studies in
that land of history and song, which sine
was so well calculated to appreciate. OF
a remarkably happy and cheerful dispo-
sition and an entertaining talker, she
filled the home with sunshine, and 1t goes
without saying that her che~erfulness was
known and appreciated by her large ac-
quaintance and her many loving friends.
Beside a broad mind she possessed a low

faithful Christian, hers was a beautiful
life indeed, and her influence will never
be forgotten by those loving friends. She

UNCLE HENRY IS
ABSENT-MINDED
Hammond Man Takes Trip
and Forgets His Wife
in Day Dreams.
HUNTS HER up IN DRUG STORE
Story of Ex-Druggist and Deputy
Assessor Group Out in
Public Today,

More evidence has been secured by
the friends of Henry NJ Bicknen that
he has all the elements of a college
professor in him. The latest element
which has cropped out in the ex-drug-
g1st and now deputy assessor. is his
forgetfulness.
1t has come to light that Mr.. Bick-
nell was induced last Sunday after
noon to venture to Chicago. He did
this largely to accompany Mrs Bick-
nell and also to satisfy a certain cur
iosity he had about meeting a rela-
tive, of whose location he was not
quite sure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bickneu boarded the
1;12 Nickel Plate and, Mrs. BicknelI
having found herself in company with
other ladies. Mr. Bicknel1 thought it an
opportune time to go to the smoker
In order TO draw smoke from the weed.
No Depot for His Train of Thought.
Whittier his thoughts wandered to
probably he does not know at this late
date. nor does it matter. At any rate
he followed his train of thought while
sitting in the train (no collision, thank
you) and failed to get off at Thirty
first street, in the neighborhood of
which the relatives live Mrs. Bick-
HelA' AOWeNeT, stepped on and waited
for her husband, but 1t was too late
for the train started up again, taking
the ex-druggist along. At about
Twelfth street he realized his mistake
and naturally hurried back into the
ladies' car to tell his wife that he had
forgotten to get of. He missed her
there and he resigned himself to his
fate, going along to the La Sale street
station. Then he boarded a street car
and hurried back to the Thirty first
street depot where he expected to find
Mrs. Bicknell waiting for him.
But like a sensible woman, she had
gone to her destination, knowing that
II he could not find the way to the
chicago relatives, he could at least find |
the way home. After going to a drug
store and searching in a directory the
exact house number that he sought. he |
hurried to his destination, vowing to |
himself that hereafter he would think
twice instead of only once if that once
would carry him beyond his destina-
ton.
