Bray ton bad quite an exciting time
Monday night, when at a little paat
midnight the alarm of fire was heard
At first it was'thought to be the
the Inmber yard and everyone rushed
to the scene and on arriving it vai
found to be at the rear of the post
office building where a bonfire had
been started during the day and it
must bave been smouldering as the
strong wind fanned it to a blaze,
catching a wheelbarrow full of trash
on fire which stood near. There was
-/u no damag%doue -uly consuming the
wheelbarrow of rubbish, but with
the wind blowing like it did it
might have caused a big blaze, hait
it not been seen when it was.

A Sad Death
Wall Paper
We can this year show a larger and more attractive
line of new and up to date patterns than aver be
fore. "5c per roll and up.
In Paint
We handle the Mound City Horse Shoe Brand, one
of the few paints that could stand up under the
Pure Paint Law. All standard makes of paint
have advanced 20c per gallon in the last 6 months,
but having a large stock on hand at the lower price
will sell it at last year's prices while it lasts.
If you need'anything in our line let us figure with
you before you buy. We may save you meney.

Tuesday the remains ot the 9-year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Harris of Los Angeles, California
was brought here where interment
took place at the Otkfield Cametery.
This was indeed a sad death. They
had visited with relative heie but a
few short week''»go, ad had bees
at home but a short time, when the
accident
occhired,
which caused her
death.
She had gone to post a loiter at the
mail box when a 1-utv running an au
tomobile came upotrher runuiui: over
her ai.d injuring her a* to cause
her death. It was a terrible blow fu
the mother and father and their grief
is indeed great as this is their only
child.
They were accompanied here by
friends from A Untie and were met
at the dep it. by their many friends.
The undertaker from Atlantic had
charge*of the funeral at this place
and the teams which r.onveved the
sorrowing pirentw, relative# and
friends to the ia*t sad resnng place
were broujrt here trom Atltin'ic
There were manv beautiful floral
tributes and 'he whole community
joins in sympathy with ihe sorrow
ing pirents in this sad hou'-. This
little darling has gone to dwell with
hitn who «aid "Suffer litilo children
to ime iimto me and forbid them
not."

London
News was received la London re
cently of the death of Joseph Cres
wlck, who while fleeing from justice
accomplished one of the most remark
able walking feats on record, says the
London Globe.
Creswick was undergoing a sen
tence for forgery in Rhodesia and
while being conveyed from one prison
to another by train (as reported some
months ago) conceived the Idea of
escaping from his guards. As his
legs were heavily ironed the task was
by no means an easy one, but one
night, when the train in which he
was being conveyed was between
Buluwayo and Salisbury and his
guards were asleep Creswick quietly
opened the carriage door and jumped
out. When he reached the ground he
fell but was not badly hurt During
the remainder of the night he shuffled
along in the dark and at daybreak
could see the railroad in the distance.
He decided to walk in a straight line
from it, which he did for several days,
still with his feet shackled. iiM
Day after day and night after night
he rubbed his irons with the sharp
est pieces of rock he could find until
at last he was able to throw his man
acles aside. After this Creswick went
on with great strides through the un
known country in which he found
himself, his sole object being to get
to some white settlement.
Some weeks after his escape the
wanderer had a wonderful piece of
luck. In a hut apparently belonging
to a settler he found a gun and some
ammunition, which wnder the circum
stances he did not hesitate to take
possession of. With the gun he
managed to shoot several zebras and
other animals, which provided him
with a welcome meal but unfor
tunately his gun got out of order be
fore his ammunition became exhaust
ed and he had to rely upon fruit for
his sustenance.
Just when Creswick was coming to
the conclusion that he had been walk
ing 'round and 'roupd without making
much progress be fell in with some
natives, who gave him certain direc
tions as to how to find "a very long
water," which Creswick concluded
must mean the River Congo, and for
several more weeks he continued his
tramp.
Eight months after his escape from
the train between Salisbury and Bulu
wayo Creswick was found by a party
of Belgians lying in a weak and fever
ish condition about two hundred miles
from Leopoldville on the Congo. They
nursed him back to health and
strength. At Bomba. arrayed in all
the glory of a pair of cricket flannels
and a football jersey provided by his
new friends, the fugitive found a ship
on Which he worked his passage to
Antwerp. From there he got a ship
to London. That, however, led to his
undoing, for while walking in White
chapel he was recognized by Detective
Inspector Belcher of Scotland Yard,
who. arrested him on the charge of es
caping from lawful custody.
He was taken subsequently to Rho
desia as a fugitive offender, and for
his escapade he was sentenced to a
further term of six months imprison
ment during which he died.

SOCIAL
DIVERSIONS
(Scene—Any large house on one of
Chicago's fashionable streets. Before
it are numerous motor cars and car
riages and the strip of bright velvet
carpet up the steps shows that an aft
ernoon tea is in progress within. Two
women, one in gray velvet, the other
in green broadcloth with heavy hand
embroidery, approach hastily down the
sidewalk, changing to a leisurely pace
as their feet touch the bright hued
carpet.)
Woman in Gray—Thank goodness,
we didn't meet a soul outside and any
one seeing us now couldn't tell but
that we had driven up in that electric
motor standing at the curb!
Woman in Green—Our car is in the
repair shop and—
Woman in Gray—It's been in all
winter, hasn't it, dear? Anyone would
think you didn't have one at all. I
knew some people who did that to save
garage rent—not that I mean—of
course—
Woman in Green (hastily)—Good
ness, they've hired all the waiters in
town, I think—four men in the hall
alone,! Yes, I'm going upstairs first.
I'm going to keep my coat, but I think
it's a shame for a hostess to fix her
bedrooms up and have nobody see
them. I heard that she had her own
room done over completely in Circas
sian walnut and blue brocade, but I
don't believe it, for a man told my
husband that her. husband was run
ning awfully close to the wind. Well,
it is Cireassion walnut! Did you ever!
Mercy, this is cheap face powder!
Woman in Gray—Lottie Thorston is
here—that's her coat, the moth-eaten
looking one. She's worn it for ten
years, I believe. Let's go down. Isn't
there a crowd! I suppose everybody
came because there weren't many
other things to go to to-day. You can't
make me believe Mrs. Klimber is so
dreadfully popular. She's just push
ing. Look! Her dress Is a fright!
How do you do, Mrs. Klimber! It's
lovely to see you again! My dear,
your decorations through the rooms
are charming and make such a becom
ing background for you in that sweet
frock.
Woman in Green—How are you,
Mrs. Klimber? I needn't ask, because
you are looking awfully well. Dear
me, there are so many people behind
me that I cao't get in even a little bit
of chat. I'll move on!
Woman in Gray—She's got Mrs. Ce
dar and Mrs. Lake assisting. Now,
how in the world did she manage that?
You needn't tell me I know she just
grabbed and cornered them! That's
her way! Just because she has a little
money she dares try anything! Any
body can make a showing who.is will
ing to do that! There's Sarah Hittey
over there and isn't she terribly made
up! Anyone who didn't know she was
35 would say she looked positively
young. Good afternoon, Sarah! I was
just saying how sweet you looked!
My dear, where did you get that per
fectly stunning gown? It makes you
look positively 8llm!

"No
one
glancing
at you would think you weighed as
much as you do! I remember now,
you had a lavender satin year before
last and you've just had it covered
with the spangled stuff and made
over! Well, that's clever and most
people would never dream it was an
old gown.
Woman in Green—Let's go on out
into the dining room. I want to get
near that woman with the coral wil
low plumes so I can have a good look
at her. Why, haven't you heard of
her? She's the one who tried to rope
in the Glendennings' son and his mil
lions. She's ten years older than he
and divorced and he was crazy about
her till his father sent him to Mozam
bique or Oshkosh or somewhere. Go
slowly. Well, all I can say is that he
certainly was crazy. I think that type
of face with the big oriental eyes and
scarlet lips is perfectly unladylike. It
makes you think of snake charmers
and things of that sort. Why are men
such idiots?
Woman in Gray*—That's not Mrs.
Klimber's lace tablecloth. Every place
Maccaroon has served this winter I've
seen it! Orchids on the table! Well,
I suppose she struck a bargairt sale,
for there's $100 worth there!
Woman in Green—Isn't that Etta
White at the coffee urn? They say
her grandfather will leave her half a
million. No wonder she is called the
most popular debutante! My mother
knew her mother when she had to
scrub her own kitchen floor! Did you
ever taste such weird sandwiches in
your life?
Woman in Gray—They're awful. And
I know that whipped cream is part
egg. I expect the Klimbers had to
save somewhere, since they got the
Circassian walnut. And such little
dabs of frozen punch! I know where
she got those plates—I saw them at
a mark-down sale one day. With these
lights the gold on them looks almost
like real hand work. Look at those
women in the door, glaring! I think
they want our seats. Some people are
so ill bred. We can get upstairs
through this door. Goodness! Look
at the way things are piled on my
furs! I' never— Oh, you say you
jUst this instant laid your cos* there?
Well, sable crushes so. Oh, Jhat wom
an stepped all over my train! What
a pretty handkerchief on the floor! I
I can't find my own so I'll just keep
It. No doubt the owner is gone any
how." Are you ready?
Woman in Green—Yes. Hurry be
fore the doorman shttuts out to ask
your carriage number. Good-by Mrs.
Klimber—such a lovely time!
Woman in Gray—A perfectly charm
ing afternoon! Good-by, Mrs. Klimber!
Open-Air Barbers in Spain.
Fingers that smell of garlic, soap
that gives no latber, a razor that may
have been used for cutting a raw
ham, and a flourish tbat reminds one
of an executioner rather than of a
barber—such are the qualifications of
the itinerant Spanish hairdresser, de
clares a writer'in the Wide World
The victim—we use the term advised
ly—must be a patient, long-suffering
man, neither the slave of time nor of
any petty feelings tuch as delicacy
and sensitiveness, a otherwise he will
fare badly at the halids of his torturer.
For the Spanish opin-air barber is a
calm man, who takes everything for
granted, and never for a moment
doubts that you are satisfied with his
attentions and will pay him accord
ingly.

The bachelor girls' destination ne

on the bridge which crosses the lake

A Peculiarity of Dreams.
As to dreams, there was a discus
sion at the club lunch, and one man
remarked that no man dreamed of
himself as braver than he is. When
the dream came, the dreamer was al
ways the under-dog. He was in hor
rible danger, and never did anything
picturesque to face It. There may be
men who are brave in their sleep. But
it would be interesting to find one
man outside of the dozen sleeping cow
ards who is a hero in a dream.
