NOT A CASE OF CHARITY
Secretary Of Millionaire Was Just an
Extreme Of the Graduate
Of 1914 style.

Jerome s. McWade, at a tea In Du-
luth, was talking about the girl gradu-
ate.
Il called on an old millionaire con
corning an investment the other day"
he said, land, as took leave, drew
the old boy out into the hall and said:
George. my boy--about that pri-
vate secretary of yours. Excuse me,
George. IL l seem to oyerstep the
bounds of decorum; but Tin friend
of yours, and--er--
!" In short, George, struggled on, I
know she's pretty girl. and too
young to mean any real harm, and so
forth-but there's terribly long slit
in her skirt, George; and at three
O'Clock the other morning she was
tangoing and smoking cigarettes and
drinking champagne at the Chat Mort
In one of those transparent revelation
gowns from Paris, and she bathed
Sunday with Jaggers In tight boys
suit like Annette Kellerman wears
skin tight and no stockings, you know,
George-and so, really, since she's so
young and pretty, I'm half afraid she'll
break up your home. And, oh, George,
what sad, sad thing that would be
for a man of your age. guess you
only employ her out Of charity, yet
"But here the old fellow gave me a
nasty laugh and interrupted me.
"'No, he said. No, don't employ
her out of charity, McWade. You see,
she's my daughter, just graduated
from college, New York World.

Chicago, July IA family of four
was wiped out by blows from an ak
in their home in the German settle

night.
The victims were Jacob Neslesia, a
German laborer, So years old; his
wife, their daughter, aged % years,
and the latters infant child The stiff
fened bodies and the blood-stained AK
alone remained to outline the story
when the crime was discovered by
neighbors.
Whether the butchery was the work
Of maniac or of person seeking
revenge, was not disclosed IN the first
cursory investigation. It was learned
the young mother of the infant had
been living away from her husband
for some time, and efforts to locate
him were begun. There was nothing
in the house to show his game.
The murderer, according to Benja-
min Knirsch, chief of police of Blue
Island, proceeded with great delibera-
ton.
