A child born on doy day is called Master or Miss Dog; on rat day, Master or Miss Hat; on sheep day, Master or Miss Shoep.

"The child whom its parents ex pect to be the last may likewise be called Master or Miss Last.

Clyde Archer met h's death Tues day, August 15. About a year pre vious young Archer had killed his an at French Lick, Ind., when he slab bed itoy Stanfield, a negihbor, who accused Archer of stealing some mon ey. He was acquitted in court on a plea of self-defense. How Is of Old Standing The two fumilles had harbored ill feelings against each other for many years following the killing of Anna bel Stanfield by Charles Archer, an uncle of Clyde. The elder Archer was acquitted of this crime, and a few years later a brother of Clydo was freed of a murder charge. Back in 1882 Martin Archer wns killed by a man named Marley, who was afraid Archer might tell of a lar ceny job In which the murderer, his v ictim and John 13. Hunch were impli cated. This killing aroused the ire of the Archer family, the members of which swore vengeance. The Archers, accompanied by John Lynch, went in search of Marley and, being unable to find him, discovered Bunch. When Bunch declined to re veal the hiding place of Marley the Archers bound him, took him to Salt- Deter Cave, in Orange County, Ind., i a lonely spot near the home of Tom Archer. Here they again demanded of Bunch that he tell where Marley was hiding. As Hunch repeated his state ment that he did not. know the where abouts of Marley the Archers shot him to' death and left his body in the cave several days. Latr they removed the corpse, placed it upon a pile of brush which had heen saturated with coal oil, and burned it. Then a tree was felled and placed over the ashes to prevent dis edvery of the ei'lme. Confesses to Crime . Four years later Lynch, conscience, stricken, confessed to the crime.
