Joe. and John Bender of this place
died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Wm. Kues at McHenry, 111 , on Wednes
day of last week at the age of a few days
over 72 years. Her death was due to a
very severe attact of grippe which de

forenoon.
Anton Eisenmenger was in town again
last Saturday with a road drag showing
the town people what can be accompli
shed in the way of better roads by the
nse of these drags. The drag Mr. Eisen
menger used Saturday is a new one
which he recently had made according
to bis own idea. It is different, in most
respects, from the King road drag, and
we believe it is an improvement.
A citizen caucus of the voters of Hum

GENOA.
Froat tho Leader.
Weleaanthat Miss Mary Johnson,
who is at the Columbus hospital, is still
improving and is expected home the first
of next week. This is good news to her
many Genoa relatives and friends.
A movement was started at Columbus
a few weeks ago toward raising $30,000
for the purpose of erecting a Y. M. C. A.
building in that city. When the Leader
heard that they were going to attempt
to raise that amount of money in the city
of Columbus for such a purpose, we join
ed the proeessisn and smiled. We are
still smiling but it has changed from a
smile of skepticism to a smile of con
gratulation. At last reports they had
raised $37,000 of the required$30,00u and
the building is assured. Good for old
Columbus! About twenty-five years ago
Gould swore he would cause the streets
of Columbus to grow up to grass and he
came prstty near doing it, but the public
spirit sad loyslty of the inhabitants of
that city proved to bo indomitable, and
its growth sad advancement the past
few years has been equaled by few towas
is the state.

If any one hsd told me such a thing.
I wouldn't have believed them. Of
course I wouldn't have let on that
they were uttering a real falsehood,
but I'd have had my own opinion
about it But when a thing' happens
to yourself, you can't have any doubts
whatever. There's no use arguing the
matter. It happened, and well, you
know it Of course some folks can.
say you dreamt It or perhaps they
will listen nicely till you are through,
and then go away -and not believe a
word of It I have my opinion of such,
folks.
I had bought' out furnished houses
before. Indeed. I have laid up a
little money in the bank from buying
the furniture in houses and then tidy
ing thlngsup and getting all the
rooms rented, and afterwards selling
out Some people envy you and say
you ought to be very thankful that you
can do business without having to pay
any office rent, but you have to have
your office in your head, just the
same, and unless you are very careful;
you are apt to lose your money, some-,
times in the strangest way. But 1
don't think anybody ever lost money,
in such a strange way as I did.
I lost nearly $700, or I've as well as'
lost it for I still have the furniture
on my hands, and I am sure next to
hearing how other people make money
folks like to hear how other people
have lost money. That is, people not
in your own family.
There were seven rooms In the
house, besides the kitchen, and as
there was running water in all the
rooms, they all could be entered right
from the hallway, and good, big clos
ets, and nice open plumbing, I felt
I wouldn't be taking any risks in buy
ing the furniture and reselling.
I saw the landlord, and he was
agreeable to let any one take the
place at the same rent snd there was
a little French-looking woman who
walked right under my nose, as 1
went back to examine the furniture
the second time, and tried to buy the
carpets from under my very feet,
which made me real angry and stub
born. Land sakes! but some women
have no more manners than cows,
arhen there's a house to.be sold out
They'll buy the prettiest dish in a
set snd carry It off right then and.
there.
The carpets and furniture were ele
gant snd everything seemed ss good
as new. Indeed, things hadn't hardly
been used. The lawyer told me all
about It The lady, who had owned
them, had just died. She hsd lived
there, shut up all alone, for two years,
and when I questioned him', right sharp
like to leant if she had. died of any,
contagious sickness, he said: No, she
had died of a broken heart
It was shocking to hear him .say
that snd' I felt real sorry for the
poor creature, but the furniture would
not be any worse for her having died
that way, so at last I said I would
take it I paid down $50 as a de;
posit snd I tell you it did my pride
good to see that little French poliy
woo have to go away without pulling
up the carpets from under my feet '
The next day I paid the lawyer the
balance $700 ia all, for 'it was ele
gant furniture, with ' one fine, big
piano and then I advertised it Count
ing all expenses, like advertising, and
a month's "rent nd other things, I
felt confident I could clear at lesst
$200.
The advertisement would not ap
pear until' Sunday, and so I planned to
spend Saturday making everything
look spick and span. Never shall I
forget that Saturday! Never, though
1 'should live to be a hundred years
old! It was a bright, clear day, and
I felt certain it would not rain San
day and keep anyone away, and I went
about my work staging to myself.
There was a fine, large vase oa the

hideit away.'for it uoesn'tlfo to "let
buyers see things around that you
are going tc reserve for yourself. It
makes them act mean sometimes, as
though one hadn't a right to reserve
their own property.
The neck wss narrow, but I could
see there was a letter in the vase, so
I turned it upside down and managed
to half shake and half pull the letter
out Of course I didn't want any old
letters lying around. People might
think they belonged to me, as I was
selling the things, and then,-too, per
haps I wss the least bit curious.
Maybe the letter had been written
to the poor creature who had died
of a broken heart, and I wondered
what kind of letters such a person
might receive. It wasn't exactly a
letter, for there was no stamp on
the envelope; but just a private note.
It was written in a man's hand, and
as the person was dead, I thought It
would do no harm to glance at it
Perhaps you would like to see it for
yourself. Well, it's here in the back
of this drawer, and if it weren't. I
am sure I could tell you just what it
is, for every word was impressed on
my mind forever. Listen!
"As you seem perfect but yet are
false, so every object in this house,
where I shall compel you to live for
two years, though seemingly perfect,
is secretly flawed. This shall be your
punishment to live day to day
amidst things which are types of your
character. Farewell."
Mercy! When I had finished read
ing it I was real nervous. It was like
a strange man's face staring at you
from a cupboard. "Poor thing!" I ex
claimed, and then I wanted some one
to put a chair under me quick. .That
awful letter couldn't mean that what I
had paid $700 for was ss good as
worthless. I snatched up the vase and
examined it closely. Goodness! there
was a great crack running its whole
length, but so carefully mended and
gum-glued together you wouldn't hard
ly have believed it
I tell you I was scared and angry
Nand indignant all at once, and I began
examining things. The truth was
more dreadful than the scare. I beat
my heart to keep it down. There
wasn't a solitary single thing In all
that house but what had been broken
or cut straight through, and them
mended. Mended so carefully it would1
have deceived a saint
: The madman who had written this
letter had deliberately gone about
and had everything, everything, even
the piano, in the whole house broken
or sawed In two, and afterwards mendr
ed. and then had shut the poor lady
up there till her heart had broken, and
nobody could mend that!
No wonder the poor thing's heart
broke, to know that all of that beau
tiful furniture was a delusion and a
snare. It would have broken any
woman's heart
I went straight down to the lawyer
with the letter, but he had gone away
on his vacation, and the -next week
he was shot by a friend for a deer,
and died, and I dread selling that fur
niture like I would a dagger thatvhad
stabbed some poor. Innocent woman
to death. Besides, if I should sell out
without saying anything about its
true condition, the buyer could, coma
hack' on me for his money. What
I to do?

over it an estimated leap of It feet In
air how many In a lateral direction
was not known.
"Exactly how high a tana can leap
It is difficult to say. I have seen tha
water beaten Into foam -by them four
miles distant aad have a photograph
showing a fish a black streak at least
a mile distant high In air a jump of
certainly 10 or 15 feet; and it Is my
opinion, based on what I have seen,
that it Is possible for a lusty tuna at
full speed to project Itself 2 feet Into
the air and 30 or 40 feet In a horizon
tal direction. -
"I judge the latter possibly from tha
leap of a big tuna which cleared tha
kelp and landed high oa the rocks at
Santa Catalina. I have often stood
In the center of a school of leaping
taaas aad watched them, but the situ
ation Is not one suggestive of repose
or peace of mind."
