She died without regaining conscious

the murderous assault. Kelly was
dead when neighbors broke into the
room where the shooting occurred.
All three of the shots which Kelly
fired at his wife took effect. One
struck her in the neck, the second
in the cheek and the third in the
mouth. Both the second and third
shots would have caused death. The

know. He then went into the house
Mrs. Harms, believing that she, too,
would be killed if she entered the

What War Did They Mean2

Not many years ago two men were
working on the highway in small
town in Maine. AS they worked they
discussed various people and affairs
Of national Importance. One morning
one of them referred to the secretary
of war, and the other asked:
Joe, who is the present secretary
of war;"
why, / don't believe / know his
name,' replied Joe, but here comes
old Uncle David Blake-well ask
him"
AS the old man drove up the labor
ers called out. Uncle David, can you
tell us who the secretary of war is?"
Uncle David thought deeply for
some moments. well, l ought ter
know, but, bless me, can't seem ter
remember just now" And he drove
on, thinking deeply. Soon the two
men saw Uncle David coming back,
and when he came within hailing dis
lance he called out:
Say, you fellers, what war did yer
mean, anyway"
