said. was that he hadn't thought OF
it before. So he packed his belong
ings, and had them shipped to the
Junction. and bought new suitcase,
and bought ticket to Salt Lake City.
In talking it over with us he said he
saw plainly enough that no one lap
could ever be big enough to hold that
Belgian lap-hound, even as 1t was
now, and there was no telling when
1t would stop growing, so the only
thing to do was to secure. an extern
sible lap, on the principle of sec
tional bookcase, that could be added
to from time to time to meet require
ments. He said he was going to Utah
and become Mormon, and that right
at first he did not calculate to marry
more than two laps, for he figured
the dog could stretch out and not
much more than I'LL two laps, in his
present size, but that II he kept on
growing 1t would be easy enough to
annex few more laps. And just then
somebody sneaked into Wills house
and stole the dog.
Wills ticket runs out next Wednes-
day noon. and that's why he wants
the lay-dog returned By then, but he
Is all at sea just now. He don't know
whether to 90 out to Utah anyway, SO
IS to save what he paid for the ticket,
or to stay In Betxvills and try to re-
cover the dog he invested = dollar in.
One way It looks foolish t. 60 out
and marry two or more laps when
there is no dog to lie in them, and
the other way It looks foolish to stay
and recover the dog after the ticket
has expired ana when he cannot at.
ford to spend any more to secure
proper laps. He says this world is
full Of trouble and he viii BE- glad
when he is above. where the cheru-
BIN don't have any laps only heads
and wings.

moneys worth, and as soon as he
paid for the dog he took it home and
began tapping 1t, As you might say.
He sat down In q chair and put the
dog on his lap. but Will is so bow
legged that the dog fell right through
his lap onto the floor. He tried it
eight or ten times, and then he de-
cided he didn't have the right kind
of lap to hold dog on, but he was
not going to waste dog that he had
paid good dollar for, and the only
thing he could see to do was to get a
lap that would hold the dog properly,
and the more he thought about it the
more sure he became that what he
needed was female lap with skirt,
so the dog couldn't fall through. So
he thought 1t over well, and he de-
cided that Miss Daisy Plunkett would
do. She was a small-sized person,
and about right to hold a small lap
dog.
Will Finch found right then that
It takes longer to get female lap
into the family than to buy a lap
dog, but he was thoroughly aroused
about 1t. and he went right to work
counting Daisy, and he had Just got
to the point where he was ready to
propose when he happened to look 1t
the dog carefully, and he was all Ia
ken aback. The dog had grown q
lot, and was as big as q good-sized
coach dog. VIII saw Immediately
that Daisy Plunkett wouldn't do at
All-she didn't have nearly enough
lap to hold such large lap-dog.

week or two studying the height end

that she would at the dog pretty well,

charges which were about to have
been filed against him. 1t is claimed
that Curry always carried bottle OF
liquor with him and the "wets"
claim that they could prove that he
gave away liquor upon Ave different
occasions. Erie railroad witnesses
who appeared in the Curry murder
trial, claim that during the course
of the trial. Il. G. Curry had a jug
of whiskey in his room at the hotel
and frequently gave the boys a
snip" The "wets" say that they
were not in the least afraid Of Cur
ry's evidence and hold that it was
gained when he himself was drunk.
A member of the Law and Order
league stated Wednesday that Curry's
services were not employed by the
league as a whole but by an individ-
ual. He refused to disclose the name
of the party but claimed that Curry
was paid from the pocket Of TINS
particular individual.
There are two more cases on the
docket in mayors court, Ignatz Ben
der will be up for trial at o'clock
Thursday afternoon and the case of
the state of Ohio against Charles
Miller, will be heard at o'clock.
These cases will undoubtedly go
through the same channel as did the
two previous, as it is a well assured
fact that detective Curry will not
show up at this time. A local busi-
ness man who was formerly a saloon
keeper claims that he has received a
letter from Curry and that the detec-
tive stated that Marion people are
easy" Curry's actions have been
such as to warrant both factions to
despise him and he will probably
never again set foot on Marion soi'.

The attorneys for the Law and Or

mayors court Thursday morning
when the trial of Charles Bausinger
was called for hearing. Every at
tempt to locate and return the detec-

remained in their Office when the
time of the trial rolled around. City
Solicitor Elmer T. Boyd was present
in behalf of the stare. He informed
the court that the principal witness
was absent and the prosecution was
unable to proceed Attorney Fred
Warner who represented the defend

and the records be made to show the

AS FRIENDS SAW WHISTLER.
Much Allowance Made by Writer for
Acknowledged Peculiaritles OF
Great Artist.

II was whistlers complaint that
the world never understood him; but
he himself was largely to blame for
this. I'm surroundings Of antagon-
ISM" he once confessed "T wrap my
self in a species of Misunderstanding.
Again and again he took deliberate
pleasure in befuddling people. Even
the matter of his birthplace was the
subject of bon mot which wrapped
the whole subject in obscurity. He
was born in Lowell, Mass, July 10,
1884. But when an article in French
magazine gave Baltimore as his birth
place, and the mistake was many
times repeated, he did not take the
trouble to deny It. MY dear Cousin
Kate" he said to Mrs. Hvermore, IF
anyone likes to think / was born in
Baltimore, why should deny it? 1t Is
of no consequence to me-" To an
American who introduced himself by
saying. You know, Mr.. Whistler, we
were born at Lowell, and at very much
the same time; you are 67 and | am
6S," he replied: Very charming! And
so you are 6S. ana were born at Low
ell, Mass.l But 1 shall be born when
and where l want, and do not choose
to be born at Lowell, and | refuse to
be 67l"
Something of this same fantastic
spirit ran through Wbistler's whole
life. He refused to treat people-and
especially people whom he did not
like-seriously. He delighted in ban
ter and persiflage. He loved to tan
talize. He was something of brag-
gadocio. But these attitudes, we are
coming to see more and more clearly,
were the expressions not Of a shallow
nature, but of man ultra sensitive
and intensely in earnest, who found in
them his readiest weapon OF defense
against Pbilistine world.-Current
