His sor rowing wife and daughter -were weeping at his side, Imt onee the keen eyes were glaz.'d and pet in the struggle. Mrs. Conkling and daughter both bore up bravely, but the wife was most pros trated. Mrs. Oakman supported her mother. The ashen pallor deepened upon the emaciated face. Mr. Conkling gapped three or four times and passed away. In death the lines about the mouth and on thii face were slightly drawn. He was much ctnaciattd. out still in death the face seemed natural. Immediately after the death Judge Coxe and J)r. Anderson left the house. No arrangements can be made tonight for the funeral. The ar rangments will be definitely settled when Mrs. Conkling becomes more composed. Judge Coxe said that in death Conkling's mouth was slightly open, as though he had died with a gasp.

If You're Coing to QuitQuit. The Chicago papers are bothering oyer the question: " Can a man who has taken from five to ten drinks of whiskey a day fwr four or five years, stop suddenly drinking ?" Of course he can. A little self-control is needed. If he has not eaten hardly any food for a week, let him swallow some eggs .vith- out the yolks being broke, that are soaked in vinegar Crost-e &; Black well's is nreurame. cover me eggs ana vine gar witli plenty of Cayenne or black pepper. Rest the body after the first and second dosv, which should be two or three t-ggs each time. Drink carefully, but plentifully, of milk and cocoa until you think the stomach is cipabls of re taining food, then g ahead, but don't orge. A few oranges through the day will lie binerleial s well as plenty of milk, cocoa or water these will satisfy the craving for something to drink, as well as nourish and stimulate the di gestive organs. If the stomach will r't retain tnc urst or second Ciose, persist until it does. Exercise your will power anl iietermmnion. iaKea lime exer cise through the day, and when night comes walk at a rapid gate until you feel fit to drop from exhaustion, then go to bed. You will dream and kick and toss about in your sleep and wake early the next morning and want a drink. That's where vour resolution comes into play. Don't touch a drop of intoxi cating liquor even it you feel near death's door. That night you will sleep a great deal bctt- r than the night before and the next dav vou will feel all right and have no desire to " bowl up. The Sli'yligl-t Store.
