Minneapolis Butcher Girl Is Going To New York To Show Up Demon Rouge

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Miss Agnes Bertelson, the beautiful butcher girl, is coming to New York from Minne- apolis, her home and the scene of her triumphs. She comes to prove to the metropolis that girl may be useful as well as beautiful. Her sponsors on this remarkable trip will be the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Workmen of America. It will not be easy to control Miss Bertelson, although she is said to be gentlewoman in every respect. But she is credited with handling cleaver in manner that draws and holds the admiration of the best male butchers in Minnesota and without creating a shine upon her nose befits hams, slings shoulders and fllps fore quarters with remarkable ease and deXterity. And she is but z1. She lives at No 905 Gould avenue. AIinne- apolis and has been butchering since she was 16.
 She is, according to an announce hment made by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, of which she is a member. one of the most beautiful women in Minnesota. She has re- peatedly been nominated to represent Minneapolis in national beauty con
 tests, but has always rejected the proposal, saying that she was too busy to travel.
 She uses cosmetics of no kind. Asked by corset manufacturer to be travelling advertisement for his concern at B fabulous salary, she re- piled that she had never worn a cor set in her life, and that no man could make her do so. She scorns powders and other aids to alleged beauty. say ing that what the women of America Is ( ft1re h daily doses of hard work.
 Hard work, clear conscience and honest observance of the common rules of hygiene she says, will do more to make a girl worth looking at than trainloads of paint, grease and powder. When the men decide that they have had enough of this foolishness about professional beau ties, the women of America will come to their senses and be comfortable

DREAM SHOWS TOMB OF MAN AND GIRL
Bodies And Death Car Are Found
 When Sketch Drawn

SPRING LAKE. Mieh., Dec. To- The twice repeated dream of George Snyder, local contractor, has led to discovery of the bodies of Harry B. Proctor, 33, a Muskegon real estate dealer, and 1i-year-old Edna Fulla ger, buried in the mud of Grand river, three blocks from the Proctor home here. They had been missing since october 30.
 Impressed by his dreams, Snyder made a sketch of the place where the auton. obile in which the two were last seen might be found. Thirty minutes after officers began to drag the river, the car was found and the bodies recovered shortly afterward.
 Proctor called at the Fullager home the night of October 90. He had sold a home to Mrs. Fullager. He said he had been drinking and was afraid to drive his car and the Fullager girl finally consented to drive him home. That was the last seen of them.
