THE KATIE FLANAGAN MYSTERY. A‘little girl standing on a pier and throwing pebbles to “hit the fish in the river,” while the Saturday after- hoon bystanders laugh at her childish marksmanship, suddenly disappears from view. After the lapse of nearly @ week she remains lost to sight. No trace is left behind her, except that of a green Tam o' Shanter hat such as she wore, seen by a convent sister on the head of a child led by a rough-looking man and impressed on the sister's memory because of the child's cleanly contrast to the man. But such hats, if not conspicuously numerous, at least exist in numbers in this great city. She may have toddled over the stringpiece of the pier into the water; but the chances were against such an accident unob- gerved by the throng. Did some one of this throng, remarking for the first time the child's pretty face and winning manner, conceive and execute almost in the same dnstant a plan to kidnap her? If so he Is too clever a eriminal to be the author of the absurd anonymous letter. The disappearance of little Kathleen Managan has elements of mystery to it lacking in similar cases. Popu- Jar sympathy unites with the prayers of the churches in hoping that the mystery will soon be cleared up. were “on the right Chicago CHANGE OF MACHINE, “1 have decided to economize,’ re- marked the multi-millonaire, “In what way?” ‘m going to quit buying pollticul machines and content myself with d ying the public in an automobile.’ 3 Washington Star, A GENIUS, “There goes n great genius!" ex- dmed the Georgia citizen, as a tall 7; gure stouched by. x velist?” ‘0; but he reads all other fellows write.’ “You call that genius?” “Well, if it ain't exactly genius, it's nee of tt!""—Atlanta Constitus the novels the Bow Did He Get Int—In a celebrated divorce case now pending in this city, the injured wife, im her list of counter charges against her husband, accuses’ him of “gambling at Canfeld's.” If this charge ts sustained At should serve as a “tip to the District-Attorney, who has never been able to discover how people get into Canfield’s SCENTED NEW GAME.
