He Nearly Remembered.

They were discussing a certain
authoress at dinner, and a we'll
known critic raised a laugh by
remarking: "Well, her hairs
red, even if her books are not. /"
The mild young man in the
corner made a mental note of the
sally for future use, and at an
other dinner party shortly after
ward he carefully guided the con-
versation into literary channels.
Fortunately, someone mentioned
the desired name, and he tri-
umphantlv called out: "Well,
she's got red hair, even if her
books haven't"

Henley Boys Released.

The two Henley boys were re-
leased by j. M. Lusk Saturday,
following preliminary trial
Friday. The boys were charged
with having taken four diamond
rings from the City Drug Store.
There Was no evidence except
the alleged confession of the
younger boy, and as he had made
various statements as to what he
had done with the rings, the
Justice put little or no credence
in any of them and released the
boys.
