Ancient Mirror

The mirrors Of antiquity were prin.
eapally Of bronze, highly polished and
about the size Of an ordinary hand
mirror. They were usually provided
with handle and sometimes were
mounted on a stand. The principal
feature Of these ancient mirrors was
the design incised on the back. They
belong to the period about 400 to 500
b. @. During the middle ages, from
the twelfth to the end of the fifteenth
century, picket mirrors or small hand
mirrors carried at the girdle were con-
sidered a necessary part Of a lady's
toilet.

JEALOUSY LEADS
TO KILLING
Mrs. Helen Kallums Shoots
Rival of Husbands
Love.
HUSBAND SOUGHT
DIVORCE WITH $500

The aged old story of wife's
jealousy, the husband becoming in
attentive to home life, was unfolded
last night when Mrs. Helen Kallums,
wife of John P. Callums, shot Mrs.
Mart Smalley three times through the
back shortly after she and the vic
tim of her shots had stepped from a
Binghampton street car after both
had spent the afternoon in Memphis.
Mrs. Smalley died IN st. Joseph's
Hospital at 1890 o'clock last night.
Mrs. Kallum is in the county Jail.
The tragedy which shattered two
homes occurred last night at $40 at
Broad and Merton streets in Bing-
hampton. Both women had returned
to Binghampton on the same street
cal and Mrs. Smalley had walked but
a few feet from the car when Mrs.
Kallum produced a small automatic
pistol from her purse and fired five
shots, three going through the back.
Mrs. Smalley fell to the ground
mortally wounded. Her assailant
calmly replaced the pistol and had
taken few steps away from the
scenewhen John Sailors, former town
marshal at Binghampton, ran forward
and arrested her.
The shooting was witnessed by 80
or 40 people most of whom were
well acquainted with both parties
and knew something of the circum-
stances surrounding the two homes.
Mrs. Kallum was held until the ar
rival of Deputy Sheriff Wilroy, who
carried her to the county jail. She

is charged with murder.
After Mrs. Kallums had reached
tie Jail the following conversation
ensued:

sobbed the woman.
Mrs. Kallum said she didn't re-
