Strengthening the theory that the
man was killed on Aug. 30 is the tale
told by Mrs. J. II. MacFarland. wife OF
the owner Of a hotel nearby. She says
she heard three shots fred on the
night Of Aug. 80 and thinks the man
may have been killed on that ocSa-
sion.
Mrs. MacFarland heard the shots
about II D. m. and says she looked
ous of the window toward the hill to
see what the trouble was. A moment
later she heard an automobile start
away as If it had stopped at the edge
of the park. The motor dashed south

could not tell how many persons were

"Thc Quiet Minute

This is what a much burdened little
woman calls the few minutes she has
all to herself between waking and ris-
ing in the morning. When she awak-
ems from the nights sleep she lies
quietly in bed few moments, and
mentally talks to herself. The day is
to be full OF duties and things which
tempt worry, and she knows It. She
also knows that her health is not ro-
bust and her nerves are not always
obedient, so she quietly treasures her.
self that she Ii going to meet the du-
ties of the day with calmness and
willingness. and that she is going to
depend on the Divine Mind for wis

Then she rises to face the duties with
a sweetness OF spirit and calmness
Of assurance which helps her over
many hard place and through many

to set aside this quiet minute in the
early morning when one can talk to
the Divine and get the heart strength
