THE cow AND
THE PUFF BALLS
Hey diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The COW jumped over the moon. ="

How do your suppose she ever happened
to jump over the moon? Well, 1t happen
ed this way. The man who owned the
COW knew that witch had planted some
seeds in his pasture from which had
grown queer round pun balls. These lii
tie balls were on the ground so long as
they were not touched by the water
from the magic spring beside the
garden gate. Now her owner told the
COW she must not eat those puff balls
that she could eat anything else in the
field, but she must never, no never take
even a tiny bite from the puff balls.
The COW obeyed her owner for a long
time, when one day she fell to wondering
just what those puff balls would taste
like. The more she thought about it the
more she wanted to taste one. She took
one little bite. oh" she said to her
self, ut tastes so good. My owner just
didn't want me to have them. He must
have been saving them for himself
So she ate and ate till she ate all the
pun balls she, could find. Then 1t grew
dark and the moon came out. The cow be-
gan to feel thirsty. so she went to the
magic spring for drink.

their money to bid farewell to the

Buffalo Bill seemed to appreciate
the honor which was done to him, and
he rode out with his familiar pose
and made a little speech thanking
the patrons for theif loyalty.
The show Is the same that he has
brought here for two or three years,

WOMAN'S DEATH
BATTLES POLICE
Victim Is Supposed To Be Belle e.
more, Famous singer-Husband
Sought By Police.

LONDON, July 14.-scotland Yard
authorities today are bending every
EFFORT to locate DIR. Hawley Crippen
an American dentist, who disappeared
last Saturday. The body OF q woman
supposed to have been that Of his
wife, who was formerly Belle Elmore
a noted singer, was found late last
night buried in the cellar OF their
home, No. SO Hilldrop Crescent, Hing
ton, on the outskirts OF London.
II was officially announced this AT
ternoon that Crippen has been for.
mally charged with murder and mutt
lation and that the police all over Tie
world have been asked to arrest him
on sight.
Crippen is said to have fed with an.
other woman, with whom he was liy.
Ing and who had assumed the name
of Mrs. Crippen.
Despite the calling In OF all the
neighbors, the police have been un.
able positively to identify the decom.
posed body found in the cellar as that
OF Mrs. Crippen. though they are firm.
ly OF that belief.
None OF the neighbors had seen Mrs.
Crippen since February, when her
husband gave IL out that she had gone
to the continent for a visit.
A short time afterward there ap.
peared a notice In the papers that Mrs.
Crippen had died abroad. Then al
other woman, also known as Mrs. Grip
pen, appeared at the Hilldrop Crescent
house. The dentist and the second
MRS. Crippen" we're seen In the house
as late as last Saturday.
The crime Is so unusual and sur
rounded by such peculiar features
that the best operatives Of Scotland
Yard have been detailed to seek the
missing dentist.
The dead woman, II she Is really
Mrs. Crippen, was famous all over
England and the continent as a con-
cert singer, owing to the wonderful
range OF her voice. 1t Is said she was
born in Philadelphia, the daughter OF
Polish family, of noble birth, who
had fed Poland to escape persecution.
The mother and father, It is under
stood tried TO hide their identity even
from the girl, but sent her to Europe
to have her voice cultivated. She
made her first professional appear
ance in London, under the name OF
Belle Elmore and sprang into instant
favor.
Returning to Philadelphia 1t is un-
derstood she met a dentist named
Crippen. After her marriage, II Is
said, she began making a search
through papers left by her father and
discovered that she was entitled to a
title and estate. She and Crippen, the
London police say then left Philadel-
phia with the announced intention OF
going TO Poland to lay claim 10 her
estate and title Of Baroness Ma
komaski. They never returned to
