a small town in the southern part Of

course, there was no towel in my
room, just because 1 was in a hurry
So had to go down in the public lava

sitting across from me at breakfast,
and when he noticed my disposition,
for 1 was sore about that towel, he
said, What's the matter, sleep weIl?'
q told him my troubles
Say, I've solved that problem, he
exclaimed. Why don't you do as
do? When there's no towel in my
room, 1 just slip into the adjoining
room and take the other fellows, while
he's asleep. 1 had to do that this
morning, and fortunately the door next
to mine was unlocked
What's the number OF your

KANsAN HAS DUAL IDENTITY
Missing Poultry Dealer of chetoPa is
Thought to be Long Lost Wyon1-
inc Doctor.

A Knight Templar watch charm
may help solve the mystery Of the
dual identity of Daniel Beardslee, who
disappeared from Chetopa December
9. Beardslee had built up prosper
GUS poultry business in the nine years
he was located there He left ostens-
IDLY to go to Kansas City on business.
He had plenty of money with him and
it is known that he obtained more
when he arrived in Kansas City. He
told commission men in Kansas City
that he was going on to Washington.
That much was learned when friends
here became concerned over his dis
appearance and telegraphed to Kan
sas City.
The day after Beardslee disappear
ed, travelling salesman found a
Knight Templar emblem in the hotel
there. On the emblem was engraved:
Or. NJ Jesurun, Douglas, Wyo." l..
z. Lynch, the finder, advertised in
the Advance for the owner. Receiv-
ing no reply, he communicated with
the secretary of the lodge in Douglas.
The lodge officials wrote that Doctor
Jesurun had disappeared from Doug
las eleven years ago after having
built up lucrative practice there fol-
lowing a notable record in the army
as a surgeon with the rank of major.
The description and picture of the
missing physician tailed with the
missing poultry dealer.
Two years had elapsed between the
time Jesurun left Douglas and when
Beardslee came there from Eldorado,
Kas. Beardslee told friends there
that he had spent two years on a
ranch near Eldorado. While he never
had mentioned being a physician. but
| in conversations with friends he had
displayed remarkable knowledge of
medicine. He had told of being in the
medical department with the army in
Cuba. There was no apparent reason
| for either disappearance.

There are several pretty ways of
trimming the hair of little boys and
girls. and Of managing that of larger
girls in way to take the best posi-
BILE care OF it. But none OF them is
quite so popular as the bObbed hair,
which Is equally pleasing on boys or
girls that are little, or the braided
hair for larger girls, as shown here.
Those who trim the locks of the lit
tie ones make some variations in the
bobbed haircut, to suit the individual.
Sometimes the bang is longer and
sometimes the hair at the sides, natu-
rally waTy or curly, is cut a little long
er so that it curves about the ears

well, in which case the hair is
