Relatives of Pearl Alice Ladd
Would Have No Flowers.
Her Wish Would Provide for
Poor Children i'm Need.
BLIND AND HAPPY CRIPPLE GIRL
Heard Sermons From Church
Over the Telephone Wire.
Paralyzed and Sightless, She
Died Early This Morning.

Pearl Alice Ladd, the blind cripple
who was so we'll and favorably known
in Topeka, died at her home, 23O Cir
Gle street, early this morning. Miss
Laid had been blind and paralyzed
since she was a little girl.
1t was only a few weeks ago that a
telephone was installed from her bed
side to the pulpit of the First Presby-
terrain church so that she could hear
the sermons of DR.. $. s. Estey The
phone was arranged through the eff
forts of Charles S. Gleed.
Miss Laid has been communicate
of the Third Presbyterian church since
1906 and was always deeply interested
in religious matters. The CHRISTIAN
Endeavor society of the church made
regular Sunday visits to her home ana
as often as once month partleS
were given for her at her home.
Miss Laid wrote many verses of
poetry and had a wide reputation for
being cheerful, despite her Affections
She was gifted with an excellent mem
DRY and in the last few years had built
up circle of friends in topeka that
has never perhaps been equalled.
The funeral will be held from the
Third Presbyterian church, Tuesday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The fu-
neral will be conducted by Rev: E
Irwin Gilmore, the pastor: Dr.. 5: ).
Estey, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church, will assist. George
Adamson and the choir of the Third
church have been asked to sing.
Miss Ladd came to Topeka from
Usage City.
No Flowers.
The relatives of the little blind
cripple who died this morning, desire
to say that it was her wish that all
persons intending to buy flowers for
the funeral or to contribute money
for that purpose, give such money in
stead to some reputable charity for
the specific purpose of helping chill
dren who are in need of food or cloth
ing.
What if the skies are looking gray,
Brighten up!
There's a sunbeam on the way,
Brighten up!
Just because it's dark on high
You don't need to fret and sigh
You can brighten someone's sky.
Brighten up!'
"You can brighten someone's sky"
This line was the keynote in the life
of Topeka's cheeriest spirit, Pearl
Alice Ladd.
Deprived of eyesight, her sublime
soul viewed with sympathy and love
unable to rise from her bed, her spirit
went out to her friends and forgetful
of self, she thought only of mOoth
ing the troubled brows of others.
Where others with abiding health
passed unnoticing the poor and suffer-
ing, the weak and weary, the little
hut-in,' with spirit unSpOiled and
with abiding faith that the sky is al
ways bright, never failed to instill
make real her lines, You can bright

JOKE ON TOPEKANS.
Fake Warming From Telephone Conn
pany Caused Disturbance Sunday.

There were several hundred people
in Topeka Sunday who bit" on a
telephone joke.
Several happy minded Topeka men
thought out the scheme. All after
moor Sunday the telephone were ring
ing. The average conversation was
something like this:
Hello
Hello
This is the telephone office. We
are going to blow the dust out of the
wires and it will be wise for you to
place a glove. or a cloth over your
transmitter, to keep the dust from go
ing all over your house. Keep it there
an hour or SO. You can tell when
the explosion will take place by a
Sizzling sound"
And for most of the afternoon va
riety of gloves, handkerchiefs, dish
ags and other useful articles covered
the telephones and the residents of
Topeka gathered around each phone
waiting for the expected explosion
Many of them grew tired of wait
ing and called the telephone office and
sooner or later discovered the hoax
Others are still expecting to see the
dust fly out of their telephones.

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap Most soaps and pre-
pared ShampooS contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as
it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap. and beats
soap or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides,
it loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.-
