Without any delay Sheriff May took her to the house | that he had been watching, The visit was planned as a surprise to the occupants of the dilapidated | | dwelling. Entrance was secured in a filthy living room, cold and almont uninhabitable. A thin, dirty, half- | naked child looked up to see who en- tered. Mrs. Lapiner rushed forward land folded the poor, neglected little | boy In her arma. Then she called the boy “Jerry” land a dozen tender names, weeping first from joy and then from pity as her mother's eyes detected evidence | of abuse. The boy looked half starv- | jed and it was evident that he had been most cruelly treated, Neigh- bors of the Ingersoll woman say the | child has been subjected to the most | | terrible torture since he was taken 20 this city last June. Mrs. Ingersoll and her companion, Collins, were arrested. Collins ad- mitted that he was in Chicago with the woman on the day of the kid- naping.

The idea is to apply to these chairs the principle of the pneumatic tire. Before a Jong dinner the seat of each chair will be pumped up, and the happy guests will finish the most protract- ed session in comfort. That is the theory, of course. Whether the practice will bear it out, no one can prophesy. Families Including amall boys would do well to proceed caus tlousty. A judicious distribution of tacks would moke the sitting-down of a dinner party like a volley of musketry. Women complain a good deal about the egotism and rudeness of young men, but the facts prove that the men are scarcely to be blamed for their attitude. Hostesses, eager for a good masculine showing at their social functions, ask men without making any attempt to satisfy themselves as to their proposed guest's desirability. An English- man comments rather sharply on this custom of American hostesses, “Women,” he says, “take the man- ners out of the men they criticize, As for social negligence, last season I received more than a dozen cards for functions from hostesses whom $ did not know, and who did not know me.
