LITTLE MISS
Wanting to See Her Dad, Just Gets
on w. o. Car and Goes TO
Lima to See Him

Love for her father caused Made
leine, aged nine years, to come all
the way from Celina last night to
visit her father, who is employed in
Lima at the Locomotive corporation.
Madeleine and her small sister, Dor
othy, six years of gaze live with an
aunt Celina. Their mother is dead.
They were in Lima over Sunday to
visit with their father. He took them
home Monday night. Yesterday
Madeleine went to school as usual.
Then as night came on, she longed
for the big arms of her father. Aunt
lie just wouldn't do.
So she boarded a car which left Ce-
lima about o'clock and the child
was not noticed until she changed
cars at Wapakoneta, having ridden
along side a woman who was coming
to Lima and who thought he little
girl was coming here to be met by
friends.
When she reached Lima at 8
o'clock last night, she was turned ov-
er to Probation Officer George F. Bar
rett. She remembered her father

and told him that his little girl was
here and was waiting for him. The
father took her with him to his

longer visit LIMA. Maybe her faith

There Was Nothing So Good for
Congestion end Colds
as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard-plaster
burned and blistered while it acted. You
can now get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the plas-

Musterole does it. 1t is a clean,
white ointment, made with oil of
mustard. 1t is scientifically prepared,
so that it works wonders, and yet
does not blister the tenderest skin.
Just massage Musterole in with the

it brings relief III how speedily the

Portland, Ind. sunl


The actions Of a drunken hostler,

EUROPE GETS IOWA RAILROAD
Tracks, Cars and Bridges Shipped a,
Old Junk, but 1t Is to Be
Used Again.

Bought as junk some weeks ago, the
bridges, rails, engines and freight and
passenger equipment of the Chicago
Anamosa and Northern railroad have
been resold by the owners, the Sonken.
Galamba Iron and Metal company of
Kansas City. And all that is left of
the railroad will be shipped to England,
where 1t will be used again. Announce.
ment of the sale and disposition of the
property was made in New York yes.
terday by Herman Sonken, president
of the SOnken-Galamba compny.
Sale Of the road to the Kansas City
junkdealers for $4,000 was confirmed
by the United States court. Louis G.
Galamba, treasurer of the firm, said
the price received for the property was
more than twice the sum paid for it.
The road is in Iowa and is SO miles
long. In the equipment were six freight
cars, two combination passenger
coaches and three locomotives. Six
steel bridges were included in the sale.
Mr.. Sonken said the unprecedented
high prices for old iron probably would
result in the sale of the Iowa Short
line, which his firm owns, in the same
manner and for the same purpose as
the Chicago, AnamOsa and Northern.
The Short line was bought as waste
material several months ago.-Kan-

A remarkable story concerning the

known. DR.. Peter Quin Keegan. an

in botany. A short time before his
death he met Mr.. Ronald EllwOod, trav-
eler for Penrith firm, and friend
ship sprang up, based on their bOtani-
cal studies. Doctor Keegan gave him
a book on the subject, but Mr.. Ell
wood had no occasion to refer to 1t
until few days ago. He then found
that two of the pages were fastened
together, and outside one Of them was
an instruction in Doctor Keegans Pc
culiar writing that the pages were not
to be opened until after his death,
Doctor Keegan being already dead, Mr..
Ellwood opened the pages and found
between them the old gentleman's will

VIII Build Russian Canal.

The project for the construction and
equipment Of Volga-Don canal. as
designed by the Russian minister of
ways and communications, has been
approved by the government. The pro-
jccted canal will play an important
part in the economic development of
southeastern Russia and of the Volga
and Don basins. Grain from TSarit-
sin and timber and ore from the Urals
will thereby obtain direct outlet to
the ports of the Sea of Azof and
thence to the Black sea. Moreover,
the canal will make It possible to sup
ply coal to all the chief cities and in
dustrinl centcrs of the Volga and sur
rounding country from the rich coal
district of the Donetz basin.

HAVE HOUSE PROPERLY BUILT
Duty Man Owes to His Neighbors and
to the City in Which He Plans
to Reside.

Any house, whether it have three
rooms or twenty, is fascinating
study. 1t is as full of possibilities as
the owner himself, and like him it's
character is sometimes fully devel-
oped sometimes not. But even an old,
a Stuffy house, one that has been as
long "for let as mans conscience,
may be improved! Here a window
may be thrown out to admit light or
to include n view, there a wing may be
added and duh dwelling transformed
into one full of delightful surprises. A
properly built house adds greatly to
the appearance of the street on which
it is built.
1.-THE most fascinating house / ever
knew" said an architect recently, had
originally but four rooms, to which ev-
cry five or six years new wing was
added, the net result being a long,
rambling, bow-windowed structure,
which one never left without regret,
and to which friends came homing as
to a dovecote."
