Tennessee Girl Is
First American al
Home of Archduke

Word comes all the way from
Prague that the first American TO
visit Benesov, Bohemia, since the
war is a young woman from Nash
VILE, Tenn. Miss Alma Paine, rep
resentative of the American Red
Cross, who went to the home town
of the Archduke Ferdinand to ar
range for the distribution of food to
the undernourished children of the
town. The Archduke Ferdinand, OF
course, was the nobleman whose as
sassination was used as a pretext for
precipitating the world war.
Miss Paine's advent was the oc-
casion Of great celebration. She was
received in state at the railway sta
ton and was conveyed to her hotel
m a royal carriage from the stables
of the late Archduke, whose prop
critics now are owned by the new re-
public of Czecho-SloVakia. MISS
Paine visited the schools, made
speeches to the children, and eX-
planned the plan for free luncheons
at the schools every day, OF good
American food.
AS a crowning event, Miss Paine
was presented with a magnificent
bouquet of roses from the prize gar
den Of the Archducal estate. The
gardener assured her that it was the
finest bouquet ever cut from that
garden-far finer than the bouquet
presented by the Archduke to the
former Kaiser Wilhelm in 1914. q

chick had been overcome by heat
and bucket of cold water was
poured over it to cool it off
Then it was suggested that it's
neck was broken, but the eXamina-
ton proved that part to be intact.
Some one said that chickens acted
peculiarly when they swallowed a

given cold sweet milk for relief OF
the possible bee sting. 1t was. also

the fowl turned over and died.
1t was decided to hold an 'autop-
sy." w. c. Fuller used a pruning
knife, opened it's craw and examined
the contents, but no trace of any
thing harmful was found. He then
proceeded to the gizzard and, as he
punctured that organ, smoke and
sulphur fumes emerged, and with
the sand and other rough material
there was found a burned match

borhood will testify that smoke and
sulphur fumes came from the chick.

Kept Brothers Death
Secret for Two Years

Although being witness to the
killing of his brother in fight at
kiawo, Okla, more than two years
ago, James w. Kisinger, of Britton,
Okla, kept the secret from his father
until recently, according to NJ. kls-
niger, the father
The two brothers left home in 1871
in order that the younger boy might
evade the draft, according to Mr.. kis-
niger, and Travelled through the coun-
try in a wagon. The younger brot-
er. Joseph, eighteen years old, was
killed on September IS in a fight with
w. Shouse and O. J. Denny, farmers
near Kiawo, according to the account
of the older brother. At this time
they were going under assumed
names and did not claim any rela-
tionship. The older brother returned
home and was later drafted into the
army. He did not tell his father Of
the death of the boy.
At the preliminary hearing of
Shouse and Denny it is said that
James Kisinger had told a long story
about having stolen the youth from a
gypsy camp when he was three years
old, and having cared for him ever
since. The county attorney had been
unable to communicate with him re-
garding the prosecution after he lett
Kiowa.
The father stated that James Kis-
niger is now in Oklahoma City, and
steps are being taken to assure his
at the trial in September.
