On April 18th the report first became
current that Frank Broviack had dis
appeared. The death of his brother,
George, on April End had apparently
made the young man Respondent and
he was heard to make certain state
ments, about this time, which led his
friends to believe he was weary of life
and contemplated self-destruction. Last
Friday morning as Charles Pfaff1ln and
Charles Messmer were making trip
from the lake to this city via river
route, and had completed about half
their journey, they suddenly spied
dark object floating in the water not
far distant from their craft. AS
keen lookout had been kept for the
missing Broviack since his disappear
ance, they at once assumed that the
floating object was the body of the
missing man. Frank Broviack was 80
years DID, He was industrious, but of
an easy, happy-go-lucky disposition.
The death of his younger brother at

ers and five sisters.

The Clever Woman.

When you feel genuinely ill at ease
with a clever woman, it is generally be-
cause her cleverness is artificial. Some
women, however, are even cleverer
than this, for they can conceal their
artifciality so well that you actually
laugh with them over someone else
who is just as artificial as they are.

Japan conceived the idea, just when
or how nobody knows, of fastening
half a circle of paper on frame
made of sticks fastened together at
one end--and the cOllapsible fan re-
suited.
