Lindlay in parlor of his cottage today. sav s the shooting was tal, but the police ignore plea and he is locked up at lice headquarters on the charge of murder. The daughter died fiom effect of the shooting thirty minutes afterwards, without gaining seiousness. His wife is m the citv hospital with a serious wound through the back of her neck. The bullet entered the ri«ht side of the neck and came out on the other side.

In a statement to Chief In spector Patrick O’Day at the hospital, Mrs Wain wright said: “It must have been an acci dent. My husband was a good man and could not have done such a thing.” That’s Strange. There was a lawyer in B-- whose name was Strange,, and it was said that never since he had started in his profession had he told a lie, says Tit-Bits. But one day he died, and a col lection was raised among those who knew him for the erection of a memorial stone. After they got it a dispute arose as to what would be the most suita ble inscription to put on it. They all had something to say except one ind: i iual, who did not seem to take any interest in the matter, but nothing seemed suitable. At last the person referred to was asked what he thought about it. “Well,” said he, “I have some thing short and sweet. How’s this: ‘Here lies the body of a lawyer who told lie. » ♦» never a “But people won’t know who he was,” they protested. o Well,” he said, “when peo ple see that inscription they will say, ‘That’s Strange,’ and so it is.” Like most physicians, Dr. mon Goodhart, the joint with Dr. Boris Sidis of it pie Personality,” can tell a story, whether it is necessary cheer up a patient or not, cording to the Boston He tells the following sation between two darkies at cake-walk: Missa Jackman, said dusky belle,“is yo’ Can yo’ trace youah blood to Plymouth Rock?” “Well, no, Miss Celia, can’t jus’ say dat,” replied escort, “but Ah was after Plymouth Rock the othah an’ Ah could trace mah cleah back to de chicken coop.’ Professional Cruelty.

Boys aint never that way until they grow up, but lots of them are freckle face and snaggle tooth which is worst. I don’t like boys but ma says time I am grown I will be fooled into marrying one. This is all I known of boys and all I want to know.” Young American came back in this fashion: “Girls is useless. They is the same compared to boys as cats as to dogs, except that eats- do not open their eyes until nine days after they are borned, which girls do. Girls though are just as spiteful as cats and give boys lots of trouble by tellin’ on them and cryin when their hair is pulled.
