Simple Explanation of Wife's Action
When She Suspected Burglar
Was Downstairs.
After starting for his work the
other morning Taylor happened to
think of something he hnd forgotten
and returned to the house to get It.
While walking nbout the kitchen he
heard a great racket upstairs. Consid
erably alarmed he called:
"What In the world Is the matter,
Mary? Has anything happened?"
There was a moment's silence, then
bis wife replied:
"Oh, is that you?"
"Yes, who did you think It was?"
"I heard someone walking about
Sown there and I thought it was a
burglar."
"But the noise"
"I was making a lot of noise so that
he would think tliero was a man in
the house."
One Friend Less.
One of my most embarrassing mo
ments came soon nfter I was married,
when I met an old acquaintance nnd
begged to know why she had never

ly she replied, "I did not know that
you wished me to, as I received no an
nouncement of your mnrrlnge." Rather
horrified nnd embarrassed to think she
had been forgotten when tho lists
were made up, I lost my head nnd
blurted out: "Oh, but you know we
nly sent those to our friends." Nat
urally after that I had one friend less.

Elsie, nbout to be mnrrled, decided
at the last moment to test her sweet

to her, although she knew It was a

"I'll arrange for Fred to take you
out tonight a walk on the bench In

sort of thing nnd I wont you, In or

Maude laughed, blushed, and as

"Well, Maude, did you nsk him?"
"No, Elsie, dear."
"No! Why not?"

vases of self-imposed starvation on
local record culminated In the death,
recently, of George Severns, fifty-four,
at tho County hovpltal.
Sevorns had eaten only liquid foods,
and very little of them, since last
Thanksgiving. For nenrly six months
ho steadily refused solid foods, and
even tho liquids had to bo adminis

the time of his death he weighed a
scant 00 pounds, although normally
his weight was about 105, according to
his wife, Mrs. Ruth Soverns. '
Refuses to Eat.
Insanity was the cause of Severn
refusal to "eat. Ho was taken to the
County hospital April 20. At an Inqui
sition Mrs. Severns testified that her
husband had been acting queerly and
that she had been afraid of him for
months. The lunacy commission found
blm insane, and he was committed to
the hospital by Judge Ira O. Rothger
ber until he should be In condition to
move to the state Insane asylum at
Pueblo.
But the patient would not eat The
most appetising dishes failed to tempt
him. Occasionally ha was Induced to
drink a few swallows of milk, but not
enough to sustain life. For weeks ho
lived literally upon his bodily tissues,
steadily wasting away until ho was a
living skeleton, his eyes sunk deeply
Into his head and his bones protruding

BERANGER'S HEART TOO KIND
Great French Poet Continually Preyed
On by a Host of Ingrates'Who
Plucked Him. - ,
Interesting anecdotes are told of the
great French poet, TJerangcr, who died
In 1857.
Tho poet was as poor as ho was
generous. AH ho had ho gave away,
and when thero wob nothing left ho
sent tho beggars who haunted his
house to call on his numerous friends.
Ono of tho characteristics of this
unfortunate benefactor, who wns al
ways surrounded by n host of lngrntes,
was his tolerant spirit. Slnco there
was no nnte-chnmber In his modest
home, tho beggnrs who knew the house
Rtaycd outside on the staircase ; It was
Impossible to see him without finding
a half-dozen of them on" the stairs.
Thero they used to wait like ravens
for the small change, old clothes, and
sometimes new clothes, that Llsette
was the first to dlstrlbuto to them.
When friends remonstrated with Be
ranger for giving away things he need
ed to people whom ho did not know,
Llsette would answer: ,
"Oh, now, Bernnge will Just wrlto
another song the lazy fellow l"
When Doctors Disagree.

while John JImson lay and suffered,
tho two quarreled about his case.
"You are wrong," said Doctor No. 1.
'"I'm right," retorted Doctor No. 2.
"You'ro wrong," repented Doctor
No. 1.
Here' the pntlent gave a groan and
brought the medical men to n realiza
tion of tho needs of tho moment. But
Doctor No. 2 couldn't resist a last
swlpo. "
"Go your own -way," said he, "but
I'll prove I'm right at tho post-mor

Here's Something Worth Knowing.
Listen to this, fishermen. There's
a man residing In Now York state who
hns discovered a reliablo way to learn
when tho fish aro biting, without go
ing to a stream and trying his luck.
Hero Is tho formula : Catch nnd keep
nllvo a catfish. When you wish to go
fishing, dig eomo worms nnd throw
them to tho catfish. If he cats them,
tho fish will bite ; but If ho don't, you
might as well stay at home. Ex

Special Care of Baby.
That Baby should have a bed of Its own all are agreed. Yet It
Is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use
a man's medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism oi
that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would
be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases. .
Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must bo
prepared with even greater care than Baby's food.
A Baby's stomach when in good health is too often disarranged
by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving
to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared
for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived.
Make a mental note of this: -It is important, Mothers, that
you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of
your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that
the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily
prepared for grown-ups.

Acid Stomach
Makes the Body Sour
Nine Out of Ten People
Suffer From It
It sends its harmful acids and gases all
over the body, instead of health and
strength. Day and night this ceaseless dam
age goes on. No matter how strong, its
victim cannot long withstand the health
destroying effects of an acid stomach.
Good news for millions of sufferers.
Chemists have found a sure remedy one
that takes the acid up and carries it out
of the body; of course, when the cause is
removed, the sufferer geta well.
Bloating, indigestion, sour, acid, gawy
stomach miseries all removed. This is
proven by over half a million ailing folka
who have taken EATONIO with wonder
ful benefits. It can be obtained from any
druggist, who will cheerfully refund its
trifling cost if not entirely satisfactory.
Everyone should enjoy its benefits. Fre
quently the first tablet gives relief.

HOW SHIPS GET LATE MAIL
Alrplanea'Uaed to Overtake Liners and
Drop Bags While the Vessel la
Traveling.
Experiments have proved It entirely
practicable to deliver belated transat
lantic mall to steamers at sen by ulr
planes. The ship may have tnken Its depar
ture several hours previously, yet the
flying machine, with a speed of 100
miles or more nn hour, can easily catch
up with It and put tho mall aboard.
A plane of tho "flying boat" typo Is
.used for tho purpose, and the water
proof mall bag Is held In a chute on
tho sldo of tho hull. Tho aviator files
over the ship nnd tho rigging en
tangles a long lino dropped from the
plnno that hns grapple tails on Its end.
This lino is attached to the mall hug,
which, when the grnpplo tails catch,
Is Jerked out of its chute, falling Into
the sea.
It Is then nn ensy matter to haul
the mall bag aboard, while t lie, steamer
continues Its uninterrupted voyage.
