Destiny caused him to shrink and
curl as protection from a cold, pierre

between sunrise and sunset. Another
whelp passed. shifted his cringing
body, turned up his nose and trotted
away IN the rain.
Business caused a hundred humans

not yield to sympathy. Destiny over

body.

three years agO-nuch too short a

Monday night after the murder at
Mrs. Perry's home, 729 Rochester Ave.
II Butchers belief that they were
married is true Smith and Mrs.
Perry kept their marriage sec
ret from all but him because
police with information from
relatives, have been going on the
theory that Mrs. Perry was the d.
vorced wife of Fred Z. Perry, Astoria,
Ore, long time friend of Smith, and
that Smith was in love with Mrs. Per
~ and insanely Jealous Of her.
New Angles Loom
Butchers statement throws light
upon several angles of the case. For
instance, police have been told that
Smith lived at Mrs. Perry's home for
several months prior to the murder.
Butcher knew that Mrs. Perry was
divorced from Perry many months
before the murder. ana caused a tele-
gram to be sent to Fred +. Perry at
Astoria. Ore, telling him of his wife's
death. Perry is said to have answered
the telegram by telegraphing a reply
that he had divorced Theresa Perry.
He gave no date for the divorce.

the right idea. She said: "A r,r,

dangerous and unsanitary, and as for
hugging put yourself in the boys place

likes to hug a girl? Simply because he

you isn't it better for a girl to act so
she may inspire higher thought than
this? You say boys do not care for,
or seek the company of girls who will
not be petted. 1 disagree with you.

plenty of real fellows boys that

most popular girls in our town, have
