KEPT DEAD CHILD'S BODY
TWENTY YEARS in HOUSE
Girls Remains Now Rest in Gene
terry Beside Her Mother, Who
Recently Died in Tennessee.

BRISTOL, Tenn.-In the recent
death of the little girls mother at
Greenville, the strange story of Es-
telle Hill, 9-year-old girl who died
in Greenville, Tenn, twenty years
ago, is brought to light
The curly-haired child, who was
the idol of her mother, died of Group
in 1897. The mother, heartbroken,
could not bear the idea of having
the body of the little girl buried and
put forever beyond her mortal Wis
ion. She therefore procured an air
tight metal casket, with glass cover
ing, and in this, stored in an upper
room of the home, the body of the
little one lay, where it could be daily
visited by the inconsolable mother.
Gradually weakening under the
strain, and with her hair all turned
to silvery white, the mother died.
Then came orders, following a search
of papers about the home, to remove
the casket from its place in the house
and bury the child with the body of
| its mother. This was done, and now
Greenwood cemetery, in Knoxville,
holds the body of mother and child,
side by side in the same grave.

Many of our girls-oh, they will
f1irt and they will paint-if you
would kiss one of them you'd die
of painters collie. When a little sissy
comes in with a dress six inches
above her shoe tops a man can't look
on her with rig on like that and
have prayer meeting thoughts. No,
sir!
Oh, the painted-faced, manicured
finger-nailed, pencil-eyebrowed, gum
chewing, fudg-eating, rag-time sing
ing, little frizzle-headed sissies that
can't turn a f1ap-jack without splat-
tering the batter all over the kitchen,
they will sit down at the piano and
sing, "Oh, does the spearmint lose its
flavor on the bedpost overnight"
Now, listen to me a minute. Say,
| think that the fool mother who will
allow a sixteen-year-old sissy-now
you hear me! l think that a fool
mother that will allow a sixteen-year-
odd sissy to float around town and
joyride and hit the cabarets till two
o'clock in the morning with a coun-
terfeit sport with weak jaws and
weaker morals, puffy eyelids, green
vest, pair of spats on-oh, she's
opening the front door and inviting
sin and disgrace to cross her thresh-
hold.
If you don't know what kind of
company your daughter keeps or
what time of night she turns in and
hits the hay, | want to tell you that
your roar when the tongues of Cos
sip get busy will sound about as
pathetic as a wheeze on a Jews harp.
And the fool girl who insists on
spooning with every manageable
young fellow of her set ought to be
backed into the woodshed and re-
lieved of her over-supply of affection
with pair of slippers laid on across
both hemispheres.
I'd rather that daughter of mine
would kiss a blind dog through a
barbed-wire fence on Friday night,
the 18th Of the month, than to
change partners three nights a week
with the lights turned out.
It's a good deal harder to marry
off a girl that has been paved over
by every zap in the community than
it is to fatten a sheep on baled shaw
ings or pineapple ice. You can't gold
brick a sharp-eyed sutton any easier
than you can fasten pair of paja-
mas on billy goat. And by Joe, I'd
give more for one good, God-fearing,
pants-patching, sock-darning, bread
making, praying mother in Israel
than l would for a whole trainload
of these little frizzle- headed sissies
of our day, my friends, and the way
they are living and how they are 60
ing.

GAVE TO CHARITY
AND DIED PENNILESS
FATE HAS PROVED UNKIND TO
A GENEROUS WOMAN PHIL
ANTHROPIST OF CHICAGO.

Penniless and an inmate of jew
lsh home for the aged, Mrs. Marks
Nathan died in Chicago the other
day. Only few years ago she was
wealthy woman, but in the declin-
ing days of her life she spent near
ly $350,000 left her by her husband
in various charitable and philan-
thropic enterprises. The home in
which she died was founded by her
husband and she had maintained it
out of her own purse for many years
after he died.
Mrs. Nathan, who helped her hus-
band plan tenements for the poor in
Jerusalem, asylums for orphans and
homes for the aged in Chicago, and
hospitals in New York, met poverty
on her own threshold about a year
ago. The hand that had always been
open to the needy was empty after
fifty years of giving. She was old
rs years of age-ill, penniless and
childless. The charity of friends was
declined; she accepted fate's ironic
twist without complaint, and just as
she had seen many poor people do
before, she applied at the Marks Ma
than Home for a refuge.
Mrs. Nathan had lived in Chicago
about fifty years. She came from
Germany with her husband. AS she
helped him to accumulate a fortune
she influenced him, her friends say,
in dispensing it to the poor. The hos
pitality of their home was proverbial,
and the poor were the guests as fire.
quently as the rich.
Mrs. Nathan accompanied her hus-
band to Palestine in 1900, and as a
result of their study of conditions in
Jerusalem, he left $4,000 by will to
build modern tenements in the an
cient city. Since her husbands death
fourteen years ago, Mrs. Nathan in
creased her benefciaries until only
$4,000 was left. Of this $4,000 was
lost in bank failure and the remain
der slipped away.
Her adopted son, Louis, lives in
Detroit, Mich, and an adopted
daughter, Mrs. Dora Rogatz, in New
York.

WOMEN'S SHOES ARE DOWN;
THEIR SKIRTS ARE HIGHER
Stockings Still Remain to Fill the
Yawning Gap Made Possible.

ST. LOUIS, Women's shoes
are to go down in conformity with
the upward movement Of Hooverized
skirts, which, in order to conserve
the supply of woolens and silks, are
to be made shorter. Nothing has
been designed to fill the gap other
than the usual stockings.
Announcement that the shoes Of
the fair sex will have shorter tops
was made at the annual convention
of the Western Association Of Shoe
Wholesalers here. The new design
will be known as the elderly shoe"
and is to be several inches shorter
IN tops than those women have been
wearing several years.
1t is estimated that the saving in
leather will be one pair of shoes in
ten.

SIXTEEN HOGS BRING
FARMER CHECK FOR 1871
One Porker Brought the Seller the
Amount of Sixty-six Dollars.

RIDGEVILLE, Wash.-That there
is money in raising hogs is evidenced
by the check for $731.O6 which Ev-
erette E. Edmonds, a rancher near
here, recently received for a single
automobile truck load of hogs which
he sold to the North Portland stock
yards, about twenty-three miles
southeast of this place. There were
sixteen hogs in the load, weighing
4,O39 pounds, the price being $3.50
d hundredweight.
One porker brought the owner
S66. The hogs were less than a year
old and of the Chester White breed.
Mr.. Edmonds is an ex-school teach
er, having taught few miles east of
here in the days when this country
was young. Raising hogs is his hob
by. Most of his time is devoted to
raising porkers.

YOUTHFUL HUNTER
MAKES PRIZE BAG

While on a deer hunt in the
Atchafalaya swamp just below
Krotz Springs, early this week,
Orville, the II year old son of S.
M. Watkins, killed 2 deer during
the course of a days hunt. Or
vile was the youngest member
of the party, but to him fell the
trophy of the hunt, two of the
largest deer ever seen in this
section, members of the party
say.
When it is considered that
many old and experienced hunters
are overcome by "bu-k fever
on the occasion Of a deer present
ing himself suddenly from within
the tangled wildwood, one may
marvel at the emotions which
swell the bosom Of a l1-year-o.d,
when he sees his aim has been
accurate.
The hunting party incluled
Messrs. S. NJ, J. l.. and P. D.
Watkins, Adam Bertrand and W.
T. Lovett, besides Orville.
! Mr.. Ards Colbert, with the U.
S. engineering corps, stationed at
Jackson Barracks, New Orleans,
was here today on a visit to his
