Cherry Colorado Springs, Colo., July 25. Presenting Dr. Joseph B. Cherry of Omaha, the climbing paston. Dr. Cherry believes in elevatme the body as well as the soul. The Omaha pastor has a recipe for saving doctor bills which he has practiced successfully on himself. He has one for saving souls which he uses on "sinners." For the 44th time Dr. Cherry has stood on the summit of Pike's Peak and looked eastward to the Kansas line, or somewhere near. He has made the walk over 15 different routes, which means considerable to anyone who has attempted to walk to the top of the mountain on the regular trail. Walks Down Trail. Always Dr. Cherry walks down the trail, which is something few persons who walk up the trail do at least with anticipations of pleasure. Something which Dr. Cherry does not do is to go to bed with a grouch on the following day. The Omaha man has climbed to the summit of Pike's Peak six dif ferent times in seven days, which is record. He has reached the top over routes said by mountaineers to e impassable, which is another rec ord. He has never had his picture taken in action until today, which is still another record for tourists and modesty. . When Dr. Cherry made his first trip to the summit he thought he Bold Bandits and Brave Sheriff Bloodhounds Take Up the Trail, But the Trail They Follow Leads Only to Frightened Assist ant of the Village Smithy. Carroll, la., July 25. (Special.) Exciting things do happen in Carroll. A night or so ago Bernard Tanter, a gay village Lothario, chose to, take his maiden fair riding in his car. They were busily discussing Froid's theory of psycho analysis or the moon or some other interesting subject when a lone and heavily armed bandit interrupted them. He stepped from a nearby corn field and, being original, ordered -them to "Stick 'em up." Bernard might have stopped the car, engaged the bandit in mortal combat and have won a smile from the maiden fair. But he didn't. He "stepped on the gas," to use the vul gar expression, and "burned up the road toward home. Sheriff in Pajamas. His first stop was the home of Sheriff H. V. Janssen. Sheriff Janssen, in his pajamas, listened to Bernard's tale of the thrilling en counter and escape. He summoned Deputy Sheriffs Langfeld, Glen Weeks and'Tony Manneman. Armed to the eyebrows they started out in Bernard's car to find the bandit. "Bring on all your bandits, we'll show 'em," boasted a member of the party as they rolled slowly on. Into the Cornfield. At this moment stepped forth the bandit, his rifle leveled. One of the deputies opened fire. The bandit re plied with a single shot, dropped his gun and disappeared again in the cornfield. The sheriff and his deputies were all eager to follow the bold high wayman, of course, but Bernard, who was at the wheel, accidentally "stepped on her again" and a few minutes later the party roared back into Carroll. But the efficient sheriff was un daunted. He telegraphed to Water loo for a bloodhound, and blocked off the road that the bandit's scent might not be lost. Woof, Woof, Bays Hound. The bloodhound arrived, and with a deep bay started the chase. The, sheriff and deputies, carrying large quantities of ammunition, followed. Strange to say the bloodhound led them directly into Carroll. Stranger still, he led them directly to the door of Earl Brown, an honest and re spected assistant to the village j smithy, The officers of the law gave up in half way up Pike's Peak. was going to die, which was nothing unusual. He was out here upon the advice of Oman physicians, who told him he bad but six months to live. That was ill 1905. The first 10 days of his stay in Colorado Springs he walked 150 miles and climbed 35,000 feet. He caught the "whooping cough and for three weeks took his exercise leaning over the back rac ing on the back porch. When he got through "whooping," his pastorate flock back in Nebraska was clambor- ing for him and he had to return. Always Takes Time. Although the climbing pastor is 63 years old, he declares a trip up Pike's Peak is just like a visit to the women's missionary society maybe not so tiresome. He has rever made any attempt to break time records, He takes his time, eats his lunch, drinks at all the mountain streams and enjoys the scenic splendor of a mountain trip. Although Dr. Cherry has climbed the peak more times than any man in the world, he is out for greater gains. At present he is gaming in flesh about as fast as he is in climbs, which may mean that the day will come when Dr. Cherry will have about as much chance getting to the top of Pike's Peak on foot as Irvin Cobb, or "Fatty" Arbuckle, In his last climb Saturday he won a race to the peak from four younger men. despair. Brown proved beyond doubt he had been elsewhere when the at tempted holdup occurred. The blood hound was given transportation back to Waterloo. Only Two Boys. Officially the story has ended. But they do say down in Carroll that Sheriff Janssen was called into con ference by a priest; that he listened, with the good father, to the confes sion of two very frightened youths of 16, who have no aspirations what ever to become holdup men, and who simply wanted to "scare somebody." No arrests have been made. The sheriff doesn't deny a conference with the priest was held. He is in possession of a single shot .22-cali-ber rifle dropped by the bandit Preparations Made for County Fair at Table Rock Table Rock, Neb., July 25. (Spe cial.)

"If I had been made completely over I couldn't feel any more like a new man than I do," said Robert Smith, 650 Pugsley avenue, Denver, Colo., in discussing his truly remark able experience with Tanlac. "My trouble began 15 years ago and up until the time I began taking Tanlac I was a confirmed dyspeptic and lived on a light diet all the time. It made little difference, however, what I ate, as everything disagreed with me. I was too nervous to sleep and would get up in the morning tired and worn-out and had a dull, listless feeling all day long. "Tanlac straightened me right up. After I had been taking it a few days I was eating things I hadnt dared to eat before in years. Everything tastes good to me now and I have picked up several pounds in weight too. I have taken on new life and energy and am just like a different man. What Tanlac has done for me I believe it will do for anybody else and I indorse it heartily."

Dear Miss Fairfax: This summer I met a young man who learned to love nie, he says, and has asked me to marry him. X am fond ot him, but doubt the sincerity of his dec laration of love for this reason: I am a young lady with a profession and this young man, not being in any position to marry me and offer me as much as I now enjoy of the pood things of life, has told me to Ko my way and If I can find anyone who can offer me In marriage more than he can, I must hot consider him or his feelings If I part with him. Can he, Miss Fairfax, I Im plore you, really and truly, love me and let me slip out of his life with out . even a thought of conquest against the someone, who can offer me more, or may his love he so un selfish as to give me up willingly to someone who can provide more amply for me than he. PERPLEXED. The solution of this attitude seems to lie in tho man's pride, his un selfishness and a certain weakness. Of course you'd admire him more were he - to fight for the love he wants and to struggle to get ahead in the world so as to deserve It. But you must not misjudge his unselfish ness and his wish to see you have more than he can give. Perhaps he feels that if you really care, you will wait. Perhaps he has a masculine jealousy of your success. Be large- minded about the thing and try not to judge entirely from your side of the question. Better Walt. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am soon to be 18, and feel a great affection for a certain girl, two years younger than I. In fact, we love each other. Now. I am a graduate from a high school and wish io work my way through a five or six-year course in college. My friend Is especially talented for music, and she desires that we both pursue our own fields for the next five or six years, after which time we should get married Now. I do not try to hide this friend ship from my parents, who object very strongly. This girl Is slightly lame, due to an accident In her early life, and Is not a very strong girl. I've tried to see If I could dislike her, but' I couldn't. Besides, my parents say that if I wish to go through a six-year college course I must forget about any girl, other wise time and money will be wasted, for I shall not be able to complete the course. PERPLEXED. My dear lad, you are a child and the girl you talk of marrying is far too young to be choosing her life's partner. If only you had been two sensible young things and hadn't talked of romance and lived ro mance, you might manage to be friends and enjoy each other's com pany now and then. But In six years you may develop along lines altogether different from those of ner growth and you may have little or nothing in common. Don't in dulge In any heart-breaking "fare wells" and don't bind each other v,-ith pledges, but try to bring things down to a less hectic basis. Picnic Supper.
