AN AUTOGRAPH HANDKERcH1EF

In addition to embroidering ones
b~est-beloved's handkerchiefs by hand,
one now also inscribes the letters on
the linen in the handwriting he is
supposed to cherish most highly.
The very latest fad is the handwritten
mouchoir, and the lettering, whether
it be merely the recipients initials
or the whole name written across one
corner, must be dashed off with a
sharp pencil in characteristic chirog-
taphy. Provided the writing be not
too small, the embroidering Of such
letters is not a difficult matter, and
the gift is a pretty bit of sentiment
sure to prove acceptable.-Washingr

Toledo, Special.-Physicians and
detectives are mystified over the pc
culiar condition in which J. F.
Smithwick, a wealthy cotton mer-
chant of South Creek, North Carolina,
has remained for two weeks at the
Star Hotel here.
During his strange sleep, which be-
gan sixteen days ago, Smithwick has
not spoken more than a dozen words,
and at all times seems to beuncon-
scious.
It was supposed when Smithwick
was found unconscious in his room
that he was the victim of gas. A
small gas Jet over his bed was found
partially turned on. Physicians con-
sidered it remarkable that the victim
was not dead, considering the length
of time he remained in the room with
The escaping gas.
