Mrs. Wood had become alarmed at her husband's absence Going to the garago sho found it was locked inside. A neighbor was called, tho door forced and In a corner of the tool room tho body of tho secretary of state was found. No noto of explanation was left by Mr. Woods and tho only clow which would give a possible Indication for a cause of tho tragic deed was a bulky bundle of papors, showing oxtenslvo dealings In grain through a Chicago brokerage firm. There was evidence that tho secre tary carefully planned tho deed. Ho had taken off his hut and laid it on a bench, but did not rumove his gjasses. An Iron bed had been placod against tho door leading to the room and all tho doors wero locked. John J. Coffey, assistant chief clerk in the auditor's ofllca, has been placed in charge of the. office of the secre tary of state by Gov. Dunne.

It is frequently notod in the dally preis that tho avorago length of life is increasing, and this loads many of us to go very coraplaoontly about our buelnoss, fooling that In somo way a paternal power will watch over, caro for and guard us. This dangerous de lusion Is entortalnod by a very large majority of our pooplo, and tho rosult Is shown in tho steadily climbing mor tality poroontago for agos abovo forty yoars. Docauso the Infanta are so helpless, the heart of humanity has been stlrrod by the slaughter among tho littlo ones, and a vast amount of or ganlzod work has resulted, producing an enormous reduction in mortality at tho Infantile end of tho scale, and this has had a inatorlal offoct in Bhowing on avorago llfo extension; but as yet society has not roachod tho point of development whero It guards tho ma turing Individual against tho results of errors in diot If wo wero living a' life that even approximated tho normal thero would bo littlo danger to bo apprehended from our food supplies. But under tho highly artificial conditions of mod ern urban llfo so many of our foods are now distributed In original sterile packagos, "prodigosted" and otherwlso procoflsod in order to preserve them, and wo are so far romoved from the point of origin of our food inattor that Increasing numbers are losing all ldoa of tho normal appearance of natural foods, and tho ability to meas uro and Judgo Intelligently tho valuo of tho claims mado by manufacturers. According to Bungo, tho census taken Docombor 1, 1900, showod that of tho 49,362 childron born alive In Berlin 12,623, more than 25 per cent, died beforo tho end of their first year, and this mortality was distributed in tho proportion of only one In every 13 among tho broast-fed children,' as compared to ono out of ovory two among tho hand-fed children. Ger many undoubtedly leads tho world In painstaking investigation of food ques tions and for military reasons the gov ornmont exercises quite a strong pa ternalistic supervision over public food supplies. Undoubtedly this will account for tho fact that statistics seem to prove that Germany, among all tho groat nations, is tho only one whoso army recruits appear to show an avorago Increase in staturo and weight If wo obsorvo carofully how naturo has adapted tho composition of milk to tho needs of ovory Bpeclos of mam mal, and then consider how ignorant wo are concornlng tho naturo of food stuffs and of the process of digestion In general, It la not a matter of won der that In splto of tho greatest ef forts of our exports tho natural diet of Infants haa not so far been suc cessfully roplacod by artificial food. On tho other hand, In view of all tho data available wo should not bo sur prised to Qnd that wherover, through physical nocosslty or as tho result of Indlfforenco on tho part of mothers, children are roared artificially, they tond to show ovidonco of racial degen eration and disease and "crlmo." Ob viously, tho samo principles apply to youth and maturity as they do to In fancy, and therefore It becomes tho personal duty of oach Individual to know what to oat, how to eat It and why ho eats It. Bulletin No. 28, United States de partment of agriculture, bolng "Tho Choralcnl Composition of American Food Materials," should hang In tho kitchen of every hpmo In tho United States. Tho bulletin can bo bought from tho superintendent of documents, government printing offlco, Washing ton, D. O., postago propald, for ton cents. Tho document gives a brief history of tho Investigation of tho chomtstry of foods slnco tho first stops made, by Lloblg somo fifty years ago; it showB the various cuts of beef, veal, lamb, mutton and pork, and then gives ta bles showing tho composition in water, rofuao, protein, fat, carbohy drate and ash of various ineatB, ce reals, vegetables, fruits, dairy prod ucts and nuts, and tho food valuo of all as measured by tho calories per pound, From theso data it la very easy to figure out and arrange u varied and balanced ration that will go far toward solving both tho high cost of living and tho problom of good health and happiness. Much of tho published data on tho subjoot of dlst Is not readily available to pooplo In gonoral, for tho rosson that so muoli Is compiled from foreign writers, who uio a different system of wolghts and nieasuroa, and it Is both tedious and confusing to figure out and transpoio tho values. In the tables In bulletin No. 28 tho values aro given In calories por pound, and It Is qulto easy to harmonise them with forolgn data by romomborlng that ono pound Is oqual to 463.6 grams. Of course, there Is some trouble aonnoctod with this matter of person al oaro regarding one's diet, Just as somo porsonal thought and troublo woro domandod of our prehistoric an costars whon they woro required to climb a troo to avoid danger. But this effort on their part enables us to bo here, and only a like offort on our part to meot tho dangers of this ago will permit us to bo represented among tho living In the future.

Jim was born with an unfortunato - temperament peculiarly averso to temperatures. In fact, temperature, It might bo said, Is tho bane of Jim's existence. It doesn't matter what kind of temperature Thero seems to bo only ono degreo of temperaturo at which Jim feels well enough to work and that degred Isn't on tho Chicago brand of thermometer.

Mrs. Boyle has wintered and Bummered with Jim for many yoara and thoreforo is qualified to tell the effects of heat and cold on his torn perament.

As a weeper, George Hughson was a success which made him a distinct failure as a husband', his wife told' Judge Mandell when her suit for divorce was tried. He wept and sobbed and talked about a secret sorrow during alx years of mar ried life, but he never would' tell what It was that weighed down His heart. "He was from the first a lugu brious man,." said Mrs. Hughson. "Ho seemed to be thrusting a gnawing heartache into the background all the time ho courted me, I thought, and he said that the happiness of being my husband would dispel his melancholy. "But the morning after we were married he began to cry at the break fast table. Great big tears rolled down his cheeks and he nearly choked with, violent sobs." As time wore on Georgo grew more and more addicted to weeping. A melancholy strain of music or a lively one tho sight of a hearse or an under done steak wero eauallv efficacious in starting him off on a mad career of sobs and tears that woufd continue by tho hour. Mrs. Hughson said tbWe was a certain awful fascination in watching that man weep. Ho did It so well. She never saw a woman who could weep like her husband. And ho , seemed to take pride in his accomplishment. He could get moro agony out of that secret sorrow than most men could out of a bad' caso of hives.

It is easy to understand how some of the precious stones have acquired their reputation for occult virtues. Tho world-famous belief In "sympa- f thetlc" magic accounts for many of I them; it is a form of homeopatny based on the maxim that slmllla slm- illbus curantur, hut unscientifically accepting any trace of similarity as adequate. Thus yellow stoneB, llko the beryl or topaz, wore thought to cure Jaundice. Any red stone would check hemorrhage, though tho blood stono par excellence is a dark-green chalcedony or Jasper, splashed with red markings llko blood drops. Wo may hazard a guess that tho well known power of the amethyst to pre vent drunkenness, hitherto unex plained, may have originated in its resemblance in color to the nose of the confirmed drunkard. Woman Didn't Believe in Taking Any Chances INDIANAPOLIS, IND. They had Just obtained thetr marriage license at the courthouse. The prospective bride, with the llcenBe in hand and a smile on her face, started to leave the courtbouso entrance to the right of the cor ridor. Tlie prospective bridegroom. started to go out of the entrance to. the left, thereby putting a post which divides tho doorway between himselt and his bride-to-be. But Mr. Bridegroom-to-be never got past that post. A woman who ac companied the bride-to-be grasped tho situation In an instant. The thought . evidently flashed through hor mind of the "bread and butter" days of her childhood when she saw tho couple. flirting with fate by Ignoring tho post. So she actod. She grasped Mr. Bridegroom-to-be hj- the coattails so vlg-j orouslv that all visions of matrimonial bliss, If he had any, must havo scat tered to the winds. Then she put the prospective bride and bridegroom to gether and saw that they both went on the same side of tho post. The brlde-to-bo laughed as her friend said: "I don't believe In taking any chances In getting started right anyway, do your Mr. Bridegroom-to-bo let a half-smile play on hta lips. But he seemed to be thinking of something that wasn't, in his opinion, funny. Possibly he was picturing himself in the future trying to slip out of his door somo night when ho was stopped by a vigorous Jerk on his coattails by his wife, who had taken the advice of her friend, and didn't believe In taking any chances In getting Btarted right.

To be sure brokers aro not busy buying and selling stocks, because tho exchange Is closed. But they are busy raffling automobiles, placing bets on the date of the opening of the .exchange, throw ing dice anything for excitement. Wall and Broad streets are busy market places for secondhand cars. What Is better than a spirited raffle when business is dull In the regular line? For a five or a ten-dollar bill It Is posslblo to buy a chance on a $2,000 car. Even chances at X each are being sold. Forrest O. March put up his American underslung at auction last Wednesday, but being unable to got a satisfactory price ho is going to raffle it off at $2 a chanco and then start on his fall vacation. Placlnc bets on the date of the reopening of tho exchange is another favorite pastime. Although it was announced semi-offlclally that the exchange would not reopen until January 1, several bjokcra are betting that tho doors will swing in November. But tho greatest activity of tho brokers' brigade is in killing time. Bro kers arrive at their offices Just as early as In the days of heavy trading. They remain Just as lato.
