Marvin, but Lewis declares he is no
relation to the physician. DR.. Iceberg
says there can be no mistake for she
saw her son not over two months ago
Lewis avoWs he had never seen the
woman previous to a few days ago
Corrobcrative of DR.. Leiberg's belief
that it is case of dual personality. is
the fact that Lewis memory is hazy
regarding circumsta noes prior to two
months ago, since when Bernard Mar

A Very Pertinent Question,

An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit of cutting
through a cemetery in order to shorten
the distance. A group of his friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun at
his expense. Accordingly they found
a sunken grave across which his path
lay, dug it out and covered it with
boards in such a ann that he must
fall into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and ev-
erything happened as per schedule.
While he was still squirming about
In the bottom Of the hole, striving to
extricate himself, three or four Of his
friends, attired In white sheets and
other ghostly accouterments, suddenly
made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out Of his wits and almost
tainted when one Of them said:
"What are you doing in my graveT'
The tone was sepulchral. 1t made
the Irishman's hair stand almost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort.
"Faith, and what are you doing out
Of it," he asked.

In the spring woods we seldom OBJ
serve the short, fuzzy clusters of the
white baneberry flowers, but in the
autumn woods their fruit, oval, white,
poisonous berries, with a dark purple
spot on the end, are very noticeable.
They bear a remarkable resemblance
to dolls eyes; hence their common
name.
Country children often use them for
dolls eyes by pushing them into prop
er places in the face of the rag Da-
by" If the baby is black the effect
is startling. 1t is more than realistic,
for 1t Is suggestive of ludicrous hor-
ror on the part of the little "pickanin-

handle these berries freely, but do not
eat them. AS already stated. they are
