About two weeks ago a fellow who looked like his forte might bo that of artful dodper to prevent a job of work running against him, was in town and told numerous stories about his prow ess as a detective. According to his statements ho was a genuine Ilawko Bhaw, a regular terror to evil doers, lie told Fitzpatrick he had been in the detecti vo business for fifteen years and never had let a man get away from him. lie carried two or throe old saw blades out of a common wood saw, which ho explained were used as dis guises to keep people from viewing him with suspicion. One evening while down the avenue ho was over taken by one of Itobert Sherwood's small boy9 and he struck up a conver sation right away. When he got near Shv w od's house, he proposed to borrow 2o cents of the boy, and the little fellow thought he was to be robbed by a highwayman, and he set up a yell that brought his father to tho scene in a moment. The fellow explained that no harm was meant and ho was allowed to go his way. lie was not seen here again until yesterday, when he came into town and this time he said his name was "Will McCurdy,a brother of Dan McCurdj', and that he lived at Manly. He did not seem to bo play ing the sleuth to any great extent, but he was detective enough to find some red liquor which he got outside of and had to be taken to jail. This morning he was lined $5 and costs, and, having no money, he will have to board it out at Colonel Mc Uride's hostlery.

"We want to sell our bodies to the university." Thus spoke a young man aid woman to a mem nor of the medi cal faculty of the Iowa State univer sity one day last week, frays the Iowa City Republican. At the entrance of the doctor the young people sprang apart, for they had evidently been wrapped in each other's embrace. The professor pressed questions and learned that the couple lived in Mus catine, loved to distraction and were willing to die together, closely clasped, even as did the unhappy hero and heroine in Sue's immortal "Wan dering jew." ine young woman needed money to secure a divorce from an unloved husband and tho young man, who was to be the succeed ing spouse, lacked the necessary funds to cover expenses. They decided. therefore, to raise money on their bodies. Each was ready to seek death as scon as the other died and both wt re ager to turn their lifele forms over to cm - in fv-e --cienee paid in advance for tho sacrifice. The professor told them that the C. O. D. principle was adopted by the university's anatomical experts and sent the unfortunate couple to Judge Haddock. The venerable secretary was almost overpowered by emotion when the good looking, well dressed young man of twenty and the comely. tastefully attired young woman of twenty-three made their proposition, but he managed to ejaculate, '"We can't pay till we get the bodies." Much disappointed, the couple went away and when last seen the young man was pawning off his overcoat for $2.50 to get money enough to secure passage back to Muscatine. The young couple refused to reveal their identity. Household Gods. The ancient Greeks believed that the Penates were the gods who at tended to the welfare and prosperity of the family.
