Alton's mother hoard tho call nnl

So Alton went to tho front window.
"Elizabeth," ho called, "I can't como

"I don't fink tho rest of It need be

Aged Survivors of Our Wars.
I am Informed by the ifnitod States
pension office that tho last soldier of
the rebellion will dlo in 1955. Thai
Is tho estimate made by those who
make a Btudy of vital statistics. II
tho last veteran survives until that
date he will havo lived nlnotj years
after the surrender of Lee.
Kronk, who died a couplo or years
ago in New York state, was tho last
soldier of tho War of 1812, and he
lived considerably more than ninety
years after peace had been signe'd

Their Me&sage..
Tho evening callers were chatting
with their hosts when there came a
patter of llttlo feet along the hall.
"Hush," whispered tho hostess,
raising her hand; "the children are
coming with their good-hlght message
It always gives mo a feeling of rev
erence to hear them. They are so
much nearer to heaven than we, and
vlliey speak from -the fullness of their
little hearts never so freely as when
the dark has comc. Listen I"
There was a moment's pause, and
then tho message came in a shrill
whisper: "Mama," it ran, "Willi
found a cockroach In the tub."
His Honor Was Safe.
Chief Justlco Isaac Russell of the
court of special sessions tells how he
went to tho city hall to call on the
mayor on a rainy day, and as he was
leaving the building he slipped and
bumped all the way down the stone
steps. A man rushed up, helped him
to his feet and asked:
"Is your honor hurt?"
"No," replied (ho Judge; "my honor
remains intact, but my opine seems
to bo Jarred." New York Sun.

"LIKE MAGIC"
Nev Food Makes Wonderful Changes.
When a man has suffered from dys
pepsia so many years that ho can't re
member when he had, a natural appe
tite, and then hits on a way out of
trouble ho may be excused for saying
"It acts llko magic."
When it is a simple, wholesome
food instead of any one of a largo num
ber of so called remedies in the form
of drugs, ho is mor than over likely
to feel as though a sort of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, In tho delight of re
stored digestion, puU it in this way:
"Llko magic, fittingly describes tho
manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved
mo of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss of appetite, of many yean
standing.
"I tried about every medicine that
was recommended to mo, without re
lief. Then I tried Grape-NutB on the
suggestion of a friend. By the time
I had finished the fourth package, my
stomach was all right, and for the past
two months I havo boon eating with
a relish anything set boforo me. That
is something I had been unable to do
previously for years.
"I am stronger than ever and I con
sider tho effects of Grape-Nuts on a
weak stomach nB something reallj
wonderful. It builds up tho entire
body as well as tho brain and nerves."

Arkansan Appeals to U. S. Court
in Breach of Promise Case.
Girl Given Verdict of $100,000 by Jury
That Was Out Thirty Minutes In
Federal Court at Little
Rock, Arkansas.
Little -Rock, Ark. Tho Supreme
court of tho United States is to have
the unusual experience of reviewing a
breach of promise case which, in tho
federal circuit court hero, was com
pared to the play "Everywoman," by
the attorney for the plaintiff.
William C. Faucette has nppenled to
that tribunal tho Judgment of ?100.000
given to Loda Anderson, who charged
that ho had broken his repeated prom
ises to marry her.
Miss Anderson told the Jury thct
Faucette came Into her life when she
was but fifteen years old. At that
tlmo he frequently met her as sho
left her mother's boarding house on
errands and always talked to her,
complimenting her beauty and com
menting on what flno clothing would
do for her.
.Inn. 1, 1911, sho testified, she went
to hlB office at his invitation, Soon
nfter that, she told tho Jury, he sent
her to Central college at Conwuy,
Ark., to fit her to become his wife.
She said that there was not any tlmo
Miss Loda Anderson.
an intimation that ho was not to
marry her. Ho provided for all of hor
expenses. Including two operations.
She wns compelled to withdraw from
Central college becnuso the president
disapproved of her acquaintance with
Faucette and she went (o Springfield,
Mo. Whllo In the latter city sho re
ceived Beveral endearing letters. This
was after sho had copied, at Fau- j
cetto's request, she testified, a letter
releasing him from their engagement.
Ehc said that ho asked her to do this
merely to please his family. He would
still regard her as previously.
Faucetto's defense was an attack on
Miss Anderson's character.
Attorney Chamberlain, for the plain
tiff, in summing up tho enso to tho
Jury, drew his argument from tho play
"Everywoman," nnd quoted the piny
freely. Attorney Blackwood, for the
defense, drew a picture of the busi
ness man as a prey of designing wom
en. .Judge Trlobcr In his chargo to the
rt-
Jury stripped tho case of roninnce and
sentiment and asked tho Jury to de
cide two questions:
Wus thero nn engagement to wed?
And was Faucette responsible for
Loda Anderson's moral Btundlng?
The Jury was out only thirty min
utes nnd returned a Judgment for
?100,000, the full .amount asked.

Just go out of curiosity and see If her

was, and ns all tho employes by that
time knew her, ono of them said to
her with a smile. "Madame, will ou

Sho had to take It the twenty-thud

HAS MACHINE TO CUT SKULLS
Doctor Demonstrates Electrical Ap
paratus for Trepanning
Reduces the Pain.
Chicago. Skull cutting by machin
ery is the latest development In era
nlnl surgery. And a. doctor In Chicago
Is tho inventor. A secret demonstra
tion was given at a meeting of a
medical society and surgeons who
were permitted to witness tho opera
tion ao said to havo been greatly
interested.
The machine Is a cylindrical saw
operated at high speed by electricity.
A patient enn bo trepanned by this
method In a fraction of tho tlmo in
quired by the old chisel and hand
worked saw.
In emergency, it wns stnted, tho now
mnchlne can be attached to any kind
of electric current. In cases requir
ing instant operation it is claimed that
the new machine will save many pa
tients who formerly would havo been
considered hopeless cases.
Its greatest usefulness, howovor, is
Eald to lie in tho fact thnt tho numbor
of operable cases will bo increased to
include many whoso weakness of heart
action would prohibit thorn from be
ing nnoVsthetlzed long enough for op
eration by tho old method.
His electrically driven nnw will ro
tate at an exceedingly high Bpeed, cut
ting at a mere touch, so that In tho
hands of a skilled surgeon tho tre
panning operntlon will bo relieved of
a great portion of its danger.
