comfortable night in his hospital

place of the one i'll which he had
scheduled to defend his title

VESSEL LOST
IN A STORM
WRECKAGE FIlOATED UP ON
SHORES OF LAKE SUPERIOR
TELLS OF TRAGEDY.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich,
Dec. THAT some vessel was lost
in the fierce storm of Tuesday on
Lake Superior is the theory of ma
rine men here from the reports of
wreckage off Vermillion point.
The steamers Wipon and Mueller
arrived last night and reported
passing through large quantities of
short timber. Some think the un-
fortunate steamer is the Jay Gould,
which is said to have had a cargo
of short lumber and has not yet
been reported.
If reports are confirmed it will
add another boat TO the long list
which has found resting place in
that section known as the grave
yard of the lakes" for in the neigh
borhood of White Fish and Yer
million more boats have been lost
than any other place on the lakes.

DEEP SORROW
CAUSES MAN To
LOSE SPEECH

KANSAS CITY, Dec. Grief
over the loss of his two little
daughters, Ethel and Tlossie. who
were killed Sunday when their
sand pit playhouse caved in, caused
Andrew Hutchinson of Kansas City.
Kans., to lose his power of speech
Hutchison, well digger, suffer-
ed from an injury several years
ago and for the last year has work
ed only small part of the time
When the cayein occurred, he ran
to the sand-pit and looked at the
be dies of his daughters. He did
not return home for an hour, but
sat on a pile of rails and gazed at
the heap of sand. He has been
mute ever since, and physicians
fear he will never speak again.
Several years ago another child
of Hutchinson's was drowned in
the Kaw river just below the sand
pit.

Death Made Her His Agent in
Taking Little Brothers and

the Tiny Girl Himself-Re-
markable Series of Child
Deaths in Michigan Family.
Jackson, Mich, Nov. 18.-This
is the strange tragedy of Ruth
aged E.
Twice death made her his agent
in the grim business of snatching
human lives.
Then came the crushing third
act of his tremendous tragedy.
The life of Ruth was also blotted
out-by her own innocent act.
Three years ago the Butler
family lived in Charlotte, a small
town 40 miles from Jackson. Ruth
was the only living child, though

before-a sort of prologue to the
Tragedy of Ruth.
One day in August, when Ruth
was 3 years old, she was shown a
tiny sister Helen, who had come
from the Unknown to live with
them. Before that little Ruth
had been lonesome and had so
often wandered from home that
her mother used to tie her at the
end of a leather throng, eight feet
long, so she wouldn't run away.
Now there was somebody to
play with right there at home
twenty-five days later Ruth
ran to her mother one afternoon
and told how she had tied up

The mother suffered with an
aching tooth. She relieved the
pain with application of chloro-

So she poured most of mann

place where Russell's teeth ought

Ruth's tiny brother was dead.

A perfect lawn Is one of the rarest

idea was used in u smart French mod

the crown entirely covered with dark
blue silk violets. A twig Of deep pink
roses was made to stand up at the

The chic tricorne shapes, that seem
never TO get wholly out Of favor, are
being shown in many odd, irregular
forms. A smart little hat of this de-

Another somewhat unique feature in

top Of the brim few inches from
the edge. At the side of the crown
was small bunch of very small, red
cherries, and from beneath the satin
cable the little cherries lay all around
the brim, at intervals.
There is a decided preference for
the small flowers this season, which
are usually applied to the larger hats
in the form Of close little wreaths or
made into shapes to simulate buckles.
This later method was carried out
charmingly on white Milan, which
was turned up sharply at the side be-
meath large black satin bow. A
small circle OF tiny French flowers,
in shades of dull blue and old pink,
resting partly on the crown and part
ly on the up-turned brim, had the eff
fect OF a buckle, through which the
ends OF the satin bow were drawn.
Black and white Is one OF the IA
