Generally there is somebody, some
person unknown to recognized
charities, who comes forward to be-
friend man in Eric Swanson's pre-
dicament, but not so with Swanson.
He has already been booked at the
police station on state charge of
vagrancy and as soon as he is able
to leave his cot in the hospital, he
must face the court on that charge.
Perhaps it is all because Eric
Swanson has been forgotten by peo-
pie, whom he himself might have
remembered in similar plight.

BIRD CAUGHT.

OWENSNlLLE, Ind, June a.
A curious bird on exhibition here
was picked up a few minutes after
it bumped into a telephone wire
and fell to the ground. In size the
bird resembles pigeon. 1t is slate
colored and the feathers are dark
est on head and neck. The fore
head and front are brilliant red.
The legs are long. The bill is long
and needlelike. The birds wings
are unusually long. AS yet the bird
has refused to fly and apparently
has lost control of its legs.

It was thought that the graduation season was over. It was especially thought at Ballle's Big Curio store to be over on account of the lavish pur- chases of graduation gifts that had been made. But there is still much belated buying, the purchasers say, for neglected graduates.
 The run on Indian bracelets has been especially heavy. More than twice as many of these bracelets have been sold in response to the suggestion or their appropriateness, as the store had ever before sold in the same length of time.
 The bead neck chains and lava i.'rs. set with native stones, are also favor ties among purchasers of graduation gifts and many are going out iailv.
