SHOCK CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS
How One Man Was Cured cf All De
sire for Liquor
Jones in spite of being a reallj
kindly honest fellow with a loving
wife a cozy home and a flourishing
young family was rapidly becoming
a slave to drink Night after night 1
went home in a state which made his
little wife heartsick until she with a
womans ready wit devised a scheme
and with the aid of the family physi
cian gave Jones such a shock that he
probably never will drink again
Like many other men Jones usually
lost all recollection of his actions
after he had reached a certain period
of intoxication When five or six
weeks ago he arrived at his home in
a fit state for the experiment his
wife had him put to bed As he lay
there dead to the world the doctor
put his right leg into a casing of plas
ter of pads and splints taking care
to bind them so tightly that when
Jones recovered consciousness all
sense of feeling would have left the
limb
It was a pathetic scene mixed with
grim humor when Jones awoke the
next day and was told that in trying
to find the keyhole he had fallen down
the area and broken his leg His re
morse was augmented by the pressure
on his leg which the doctor took palns
to keep alive at each successive dress
ing and by the time that Jones had
been in bed a month all desire for
stimulants had left him
It is not likely he will drink to ex
cess again but is he reads this story
of his loving wifes new cure for the
alcoholic habit he will surely drop
that limp which he now affects during
his daily walk down Broadway New

NO NEED OF OFFICERS
Dead Mans Friends Had Satisfied
Ends of Justice
John Fox Jr author of Kentucky
mountaineer stories and a Blue Grass
man himself was talking about the
reign of lawlessness in the mountains
of that state
I remember he said the case of
a man in a town where I lectured one
time only who shot a man in cold
blood from behind a fence and the
authorities didnt do a thing with
him
Thats the trouble down there re
sponded an indignant listener The
authorities seem to wink at that kind
of killing Did they know all the
facts in this case
Of course but that didnt seem to
make any difference
Well I dont see why they didnt
punish the murderer
They werent altogether to blame
said Mr Fox rather apologetically
They must have been contended
the listener still indignant
No persisted Mr Fox they were
not You see the other mans friends
caught the assassin before he got out
of town and shot him so full of holes
the grand jury didnt think it worth
while to bother with the remains
Oh exclaimed the listener
New York Times
Sunday
On Sunday no alarm shock
To Work beats on the tired brain
What bliss to wake to scorn the clock
To smile and go to sleep again
And joy goes dimpling through the town
On heart strings her sweet tune she
strums
And care worn brows forget to frown
When Sunday comes
On Sunday theres no breathless haste
To mill or mart on tireless legs
And oh how beautiful the taste
Of leisure in the ham and eggs
To munch your breakfast at your ease
To jeer at time and snap your thumbs-
Yoa only get such joys as these
When Sunday comes
When Sunday comes the little girls
Before the glass with huge delight
Take out of jail the little curls
That they have had in pins all night
The little boys don Sunday best
Which Freedoms ardent spirit numbs
And by clean collars theyre oppressed
When Sunday comes
When Sunday comes how grand to sit
When you have dined among your kin
To read a bit and doze a bit
Until they bring the supper in
With music of the jingling spoon
And saucer while the kettle hums
An extra pleasing Sabbath tune
When Sunday comes
When Sunday comes with what a glow
A man may puff his pipe and say
As Horace said some time ago
Lord of myself I live to day
So heres to Sunday three times three
With glad hearts inward fifes and
drums
And keep a corner please for me
When Sunday comes

around steady prices The few corn fed
Bteers that arrived sold without much
trouble ut steady prices but there was
nothing strictly choice offered Good to
choice corn feds have been in good de
mand all the week and if anything are
a little stronger The cow market did
not exhibit any sreat amount of life but
prices held about steady The feeling
seemed to be a littel better but there
was not the strength that characterized
yesterdays market For the week cows
are much over a dime lower as part of
the loss of the early part of the week
has been regained Bulls veal calves and
stags soid in just about the same notches
they have all the week There were very
few stockers and feeders offered and
not many were wanted The few that
did arriyi sold at not far from steady
prices Strictly choice feeders are not
much lower for the week but aside from
a few sales of that kind the general mar
ket is safely quoted 13323c lower There
were only a few western grass beef steers
offered and they sold about steady For
the week choice stuff could safely be
quoted stronir but common grades have
shown no improvement Range cow
held steady
HOGS There was not a hevy run of
hegs but reports from other points were
not very favorable to the selling interests
and as a result the market was rather
weak The heavy hogs sold largely from
S550 to 560 medium weights from J560
to S575 and lightweights sold from 575
up to 50 the top price being paid for a
very fancy load weighing 147 pounds This
is the first load of this kind that lias
been received this year all the other
