especially to his fellow club mem
bers of the Water Power club. Sun
day morning Mr.. Barnes left the club
apparently for short constitutional
An hour afterwards two high powered
automobiles were seen speeding down
Main street under the skillful guidance
of experts on their journey to Quincy,
where they were married. The bride
was attended by her sister, Miss
Louise Dimond. and Miss Loretta
Gordon, Mr.. VIM, McFarlane Of Belle
font. Pa, and Mr.. John Dimond,
brother of the bride. After the cere-
mony wedding dinner was served at
the new Hotel Quincy. Miss Dimond
is one of Keokuk's most charming and
popular young ladies, and the groom
is highly esteemed employee OF the
Water Power company. Hearty con-
CALCULATIONS are being offered.

decides that at last his career as

He was trapped for the first time in
his career He knew that the desper-
ate gang would stop at nothing in
order that he may be put out of the
way. A cat comes to the window sill
and takes her station just outside the
iron grating. Harper, who had learned
to think quickly, rapidly writes note,
ties it around the neck of the cat pets
the pussy and sends her off, hoping
that the note will attract attention anc
bring help.
In the mean time the gang decides
to asphyxiate Harper, the steel shut
ters are closed air tight and the gas
is turned on. He struggled in vain to
free himself, gradually begins to loose
consciousness and falls to the floor.

SWEETNESS THAT ALL ADMIRE
Favorlte Old Recipe for Pot Pourri
Guaranteed to Give the
Best Results.

A favorite old recipe for pot pourri
is made up thus: The proportions
may be lessened or increased as de-
sired: Take one-half pound of COM
mon salt, one-fourth of saltpetre, one
fourth ounce of storax, half dozen
cloves, a handful of dried bay leaves,
a handful of dried lavender flowers.
Mix these we'll together to form the
basis of the pot pourri, and it will
last for years. Rose petals and the
leaves or flowers of other fragrant
plants gathered on dry days may be
added to the jar from time to time, or
few drops of the essential oil of per
fume flowers, such as oil of geranium,
roses, ETC., may be added to make up
q delicate bouquet perfume. If liked
also powdered benzoin--do not con-
fuse with benzine- chips of sandal
wood, cinnamon, orrisroot-indeed, al
most any pleasing aromatic plant,
dried, may be mixed In. The lid of
the rose jar may be lifted from time
to time to allow the fragrance to ex-
hale into the room and should some
time afterward be replaced to pre-
serve the perfume.
