Old John Brown had two sons killed st harper's Ferry, Owen and Watson. The body of Owen was buried with others in a trench near the scene of the conflict. That of Wctson waa secured by some physicians from a medical college at Win chester, twenty miles away. Three years afterward, In 1862, Winchester v»w captured by Gen. Banks of thi Union army, and Dr. J. J. Johnson, surgeon of the Twenty-Seventh Indiana v*aa placed In charge of the medical college, which had been turned into a hospital for southern soldiers. Or. John son found the body of Watson Brown, so labe'ed, which had been anatomically pre served as a fine specimen of the human oody. He sent the body to his home in Indiana, and preserved It there for many years. In 1882 word reached the Brown family that Dr. Johnson had Watson's body. The oldest son, John Brawn, Jr., who was living at Put-in-Bay, went to Martinsville, Ind, where Dr. Johnson lived, identified the body, and took it away with him. It was buried with im- by the side of the father, "John Brown of Ooawatumie," in the Adirondack mountains. This accour.t is au thentic, for the writer of "Curl ous Bits of History" is the one who' "discovered" the body at Martinsville. A full account of the matter wlff be found in the New York Independent of June 16, 1895. (Copyright* I9n, Vy Joseph B. Bowles.) The Missing Suitcase • • \ "I know you had a perfectly de lightful time at your house party," i said the girl who was calling. -"lndeed, we did," said the hostess. "It is too bad that you could not be I there." > ' "I was heart-broken because I had to miss St. But tell nie everything. I want particularly to hear about the ■ girl your brother is engaged to." "Oh, Alice. She's the dearest thlngl" j "Sice looking?" > "She's a dream! Tall and slender and willowy." ) "One of the staid and dignified f type?' 1 , "Not at all. That was what we • feared, but BUO'S nothing of the sort. ■ I laughed so much during the week she was here that if I never laugh again I can't complain that I haven't £ had my share." : "You might f»asa round some of the fun." "Well, you know it la not a long 1 Journ-sy here from Middle Junction, where Alice lives, so she decided not to brintr n trunk " ' 'Not brine a trunk?" "No, riie derided to put cvcrythliif, I In b*r brother*a suitcase." I "'Hut what in tho world can a girl ; ge* into a suitcase?' | ''You would be surprised to know j all that Alice got into that suitcase. ' | It. WUSt have been a3 big us a box ' ear.".

"Wh?n we had heard all about the suitcase I took Alice up to her room to fix up as best Bhe could, and thero . was barely timo to get ready for din- I ncr. But she said she would just curl i her hair a little and wash her face, 1 and make her traveling dress do until sho could send home or' do some shopping. So I sat down while she was preparing herself before the glasa. The first thing she said was: 'Oh, dear! My curling Iron Is in the suitcase!'" "How provoking!" "Wasn't It? Bnt I said: 'Never mind. You can curl your hair v/itb my lron. f , "At that a sudden thought struck her and she fell back on the bed and screamed with laughter." # "What was it?" "That was what I wanted to know. When I approached hec-slio—reached for mo and pulled mo down on the bed with her and cried: 'Jonnle, 1 can't curl my hair!' " "'Why not?' I asked her. " 'Because,' she gasped, 'my hair Is In the suitcase, too!' "We Just clung to each other and laughed until mother heard us and came running to see what It was all about. Then when we told her she screamed with laughter, too. "It broke down all barriers of re serve between Alice and us and we had a perfectly lovely time."—Chi cago Dally News. Interest in Fossil Beds. • The fossil beds of the west tha* have furnished such wonderful speci mens of gigantic animals of formes/ ages, such as, for instance, the diplc*- i docus, replic&s of which haro recently been placed on exhibition In several , of the great European museums, some . times yield fossils, which, if not so large as the great saurian mentioned above, are nevertheless of paramount ( interest to men of science. During the summer of 1909, the remains of •' several foesil ttutffi* were collected by • members of the United States geo logical surrey, and from a study of these Prof. O. P. Hay has-been able I to describe eight new species of fossil turtles from west of the one hundredth Meridian. ®®®®®®®®® ®®®®®®® ®®®®®®®®Ss|S Is AVE MONEY 11 I Mens & Boys Clothing 1 11.
