CROUP
(Health Talk No. 37 by Drs. States.)
Croup comes stealing on In tho
night and 1b tho torror of mothers.
Tho child awakens with ft dry. harsh,
metalllb and croupy cough. Usually,
thero Is not tlmo to call a chiroprac
tor, us tho smothering spoils are too
intense. Almost any heroic remedy
that gives Immediate rollof Is war
ranted. The tundency to croup Is easily
broken up by spinal adjusting. Usu
ally the attacks occur throo or four
nights in succession, and thou are not
troublosomo for some time, only to
come back again In a fortnight. The
cause Is norvous congestion and pros
suro, contoring around tho spine.
Spinal adjustments give immediate
roliof and usually prevent further at
tacks. The adjustment rclaxos the
nerves, and restores the nervous bal
ance In tho affected organs.

Gad Story of Luther K. Llnkenhooper
Would Move Almost Any
One to Tear.
"As I was coming to town just now,"
said the motorist, "I saw a peculiar
Bight; a thin, wild-eyed man, clad in a
red-and-blue bedqullt, perched In a
treetop and (very now and then crying
'Honk I Honk!' to the unbridled glee
of a gang of men nnd boys assembled
below."
"That was Luther K. Llnkenhooper,
by tho symptoms." replied the landlord
of the tavern at Grudge. "He accumu
lated three second-hand Hootln' Nanny
cars ; one he traded for, one his brother-in-law
wished onto him and one.wns
left him by will. None of them were
of any account, and so he set to work
to take 'em all apart and make one
good one out of the three. The tnsk
was too much for his -mind, and after
he had made about five from the ruins
of tho three and still had a lot of stuff
left, and none of 'em would move a
muscle, he began to chatter, then to
yell, and finally took to his bed a-JIb-bering.
Once In a while he escapes
from Ills relatives and gets out and
cuts some such caper as you saw. Ho
.thinks he Is a Hootln Nanny himself."
"But, great guns! Even n car of
the name you mention does not wear
a bedqullt and climb trees 1"

Peculiar Whim of "Fashion" In Virgin
Islands Puzzling to United
States Marines.
United States mnrlnes garrisoning
these new possessions of Uncle Sni
can't understand the fnshlons affected
by the natives, writes a St. Thomas
(Virgin Islands) correspondent. Just
why a negro or Cha-Chn Indian should
wear an overcoat when the thermom

Many of the marines down here have
seen service In the neighboring Island
of Haiti, where clothes aro the least
consideration of the natives. But as
soon ns tho new arrival readies these
shores ho Is npproached by nntlves
begging for his enst-off clothing.
For some strange reason the nntlvo
Virgin islander believes In wearing
every article of clothing he can lay
hands on. All American holidays are
now celebrated by the natives, who
spend tho day parading about the
streets, some of them wearing over
coats, capes, two or more pairs of
trousers and a red bandnna handker
chief about the neck. Also they fre
quently ndorn themselves with the
horns of cows or oxen attached to
the head Just In front of the ears.

the Wesselton mine come many
beautiful deep orange colored dia

A DISCARDED
AMBITION
By AUGUSTUS G. SHBRWIN
(CbpyrlKlit. 1110, Western NewsivMper Union)
The most unfortunate thing that
ever happened to Levi Morse wns that
during a two weeks' visit to the city
ho chanced to run across a friend Who
hud started a detective agency. The
luttcr discovered, or protouded to dis
cover In him rare Intuitive ability in
the man hunting line. He altered
Levi a half-Interest In his business for
$500, made a due Impression on his
prospective victim with the nld of
some confederates by working up u
case where Levi was allowed to ap
parently discover some remarkable
clews und make itn arrest, and sent
htm home all fired up with tin; Idea
that he was especially born to become
a famous sleuth.
Ills practical ruralized wife sat
down ou the proposed Investment,
hard. "They are fooling you, Levi,"
she declared. "You have no moro
predilection for tho detective business
than a babe. Besides, all the capital
Invested In our little dairy farm hero
Is mine, and I'll not see you waste It.
Drop the Idea."
Which Levi did, but reluctantly. Ho
had caught the- detective fever good
and strong. He never passed the
town marshal but he envied his dig
nity nnd power, and when the local pa
per, published by an old friend, men
tioned his name ns a probable candi
date for marshal at the next election,
Levi fondly dreamed.
"You see," said the editor to Levi
one day, "your wife may object to
your becoming a city detective, but she
shouldn't hide your ability under a
bushel locally. You're bound to shine,
Levi," und the latter believed It and
hugged the pleasant delusion.
Levi wns hanging around the print
ing olllce one day when he chnnced to
glance at a fresh proof of an Item
announcing the escupc of one Dan
Daly from the stntc penitentiary.
A liberal reward was offered for his
apprehension. Just beside it lay nn
electrotype with a proof ou top of
It. Levi studied the face portrayed
with interest and Impressed its main
characteristics on ills memory. Ho
even possessed himself of a blurred im
press of the cut that hud been
thrown aside, and thrust It Into his
pocket.
"I'll keep my eyes open," he re
solved ns lie left tho print shop. "Some
thing of a feather in my cap and a
big campaign argument If I happen to
run across this dangerous 'criminal nt
large."
- It wns the very next day tjiat, about
dusk, near his home, ho fixed tils
glance upon a man coming down the
road from the electric lino 'station. He
looked respectable enough, well
dressed, and had an Intellectual face,
but, ransacking his memory and con
sulting the blurred proof in Ids pocket,
Levi could scarcely repress an exult
ant cry.
"It's lilin !" gloated the embryo mar
shal. "Oh, what luck! Now to nab
him," and getting behind the unsus
pecting wayfarer, Levi suddenly seized
him by the collar and ran lilm through
the gateway ,pf his own yard. t
"Zounds! What Is this? Unhand
me!" sputtered the astonished victim
of Levi's rash guesswork. "I say,"
but Levi Was not to be diverted from
his stern purpose. He urged his cup
tlve over to a llttlo brick structure
used as a milk cooling room, thrust
him into It, slammed the door tightly
shut upon him, locked It, and started
on a run for down town. There was
a small grated window only at the
side of the building, nnd at this the
prisoner appeared, pale and expostu
lating, hut It was too small for the
capjlve to get through, so Levi felt
secure as to his retention.
Levi made for the office of tho mar
shal to Impart to him the nows of
his remarkable catch, but tho latter
was not there. Ho began searching
for him, went from plnco to place, nnd
was In a vast flutter until long after
dark, when he learned that the offi
cial was on a temporary visit to the
next town and would return on the
nlno o'clock train. To put In tho time
ho dropped into tho library hull, where
a lecture was In progress. At Its door
way ho hnltcd and stood rooted In
sheer amazement. There on the ros
trum was the very man ho had incar
cerated in the cooling shed less than
three hours previous!
It was well that his daughter Alice
chanced to catch sight of her father
and arose from her seat In tho hall
and camo somewhat excitedly to him.
"Oh, pupa I" sho whispered. "The
strangest thing! Mr. Bertram, the
lecturer! Some one assaulted him on
tho street and locked him up In a
shed on our plnco. I let him out nnd
ho Invited mamma and I to tho hall.
How queerly you act!"
And ho felt so, too! It suddenly
dawned upon Levi that he hnd com
mitted a most egregious error. It was
natural that tho picture of the young
nnd rising lecturer should appear In
the newspaper, and ho had taken the
cut proof haphazard for that of the
escaped ennvlct.
Deliini ' v Bertram novor know that
It was tho father of Alice, with whom
ho proceeded to fail Jn love, who had
fronted him so rudely, for ho had not
scon tho face of his captor. And Mrs.
Morse mid the public novor could un
derstand how It wns that Lovl abrupt
ly abandoned all Intention of running
for tho office of lown marshal.

SWAT THE FEMALE MOSQUITO
In the Case of Thoee Insects, Kipling
Was Undoubtedly Right In His
Assertion.
Contrary to popular belief, tho mos
quito lays only GO or 100 eggs at a
time; we nuturnlly would suppose It
lnld about 1,000,000. The larval stage
lasts seven to fourteen days. If you
have a barrelful of mosquitoes under
your enves trough have a look at them.
It Is easier to spot the malarial kind
than other. Tho harmless wrigglers
bang with their heads down, but the
malarial .mosquito lies with Its body
parallel to the surface of the water. If
a fullgrown mosquito bites you, look
nt Its back, preferably with a micro
seme. If It has tho llguro of n lyre
on Its back It is had medicine. If it
Is all one color It won't hurt you.
Only the female mosquito will bite,
according to a writer In tho Saturday
Evening Post. The males die In the
fall, the females hibernating nnd then
living one or two mouths. The male
lives but a few days. No doubt you be
lieve that mosquitoes live on blood
nlone, though you may have wondered
how they get nlong In tho remote wil
derness whore there seems to bo no
animal life, as, for Instnnce, In tho
subarctic and nrctlc country. The
truth Is Hint the mosquito also liven on
the Juice of plants. They will bite ul
most any sort of animal, will bite rep
tiles and even cutcrpllhtrs. Some mos
quitoes can bite through a leather moc
casin. Any of them can bite through
a human hide.

Unless James H. Hnnley of Omaha,
