Dietz, 57 Doris Carmikle. Total A SAD CASE On Thursday evening of last week a small girl about ten years old and an elderly lady transfers ed here from the Union Pacific to the westbound Missouri Pacific The little girl aroused a great deal of sympathy as she was in the most pitable condition of any child we have ever seen. In the first ylace she was deformed, a large growth on one side causing her to lean a little to the other side. But this was not the most noticeable thing about her by any means. The most noticeable thing was her hands.

Such hands! We doubt if therejwere ever any like them before, or will be any again. Each was at least half foo wide, two and one-half or three inches thick and nine or ten inches long. There were only two fingers on each hand, and each of them was aa long as a small man's wrist. We are not exaggerating one iota, and the severa' who happened to be at the train that Taking a walk on an empty stomach is said to cure indigestion but you should be very careful whose stomach you Walk on- MM' iKIIllMtsiltlllttlslRllg VI VH BIG GLORIOUS DAYS HOME COMING LAST DAY THE other night I WENT to the theater WITH a low-brow friend AND the orchestra played "LITTLE Brown Jug," AND HE thought it the national anthem AND stood up AND I did, too-Darn him!
