TAUGHT HIM A LESSON.

The Florists Hint to a Man Who Used
to be o Constant Patron.
1t was just little lesson, that was
all, bit it went right to the spot, says
the Detroit Free Press. He stopped
a moment on his way home to look at
a florists widow, and the florist, who
saw him, asked him inside to see
something extra fine.
"You don't buy any more flowers
uow?" said the florist.
NO." was the response, given
good naturally, though it was brief.
"And it used to be, a year ago or
more, that roses and violets and car.
nations and all sorts were a great
attraction to your"
ayes; / had a sweetheart ,hon,"
and the young man blushed and
laughed.
"You used to take her a flower
every time you went to see her, didn't
you?" pursued the iuquisltive, kindly
old florist.
"Yes."
"And they didn't cost very much,
as rule, did they?"
"Oh, no; but that didn't make any
difference to her. If Dough. them
fresh and fragrant that was enough. +"
"Why don't you take them to her
now? Did she choose another in
your stead?" And the florists yoit o
was sympathetic.
"Oh, no; | married her year age"
The florist waited moment as if
thinking. Sand you don't love her
now?" he asked cautiously, as if
treading on thin ice.
"Of course. We arc very happy.
Bot you know tho flower business
doesn't 60 any MORE"
"Did she ever say SOP" asked the
florist.
"Well un-es-no, can't say that
she ever did"

WOLVES IN INDIA.
The VOraciOus Animals Show Almost |
Human Ginning.

The VOraci0us Animals Show Almost
Human Ginning.
One strongly marked characteristic
common to dogs and wolves is their
skill in trailing and running down
game, in couples and packs. Such a
wolf hunt in India is described by an
English traveller who, while out with
his telescope watching a herd OF an
telope feeding in a largo field, OBJ
served six wolves evidently concerning
how best to secure their breakfast.
Having decided on their plan of cam.
paign they separated, leaving ore
stationary. -Four crept stcalthily
around the outer edge of the field,
and one lay IN ambush at each cor
ner, while the sixth crept through a
furrow in the middle of the field and
there lay down unobserved.
When all were thus posted the first
wolf suddenly showed himself, and,
charging the antelopes. drove them
right across the great field, whore
they we're headeds by another wolf,
who chased them in fresh dire elton,
while the first hunter lay down to
rest. No sooner had the frightened
herd reached the further end of the
plain than up sprang a fresh wolf,
who again turned and took up the
pursuit, leaving his painting accom-.
plice to take breath preparatory to
another chase.
Thus the luckless, terrified ante
lopes we're driven from corner to
corner OF the great plain. till, stupe.
fed and exhausted, they crowded
together. galioping in ever lessening
circles around the center OF the field
where the sixth wolf lay hidden, evi.
IDENTIFY waiting until they should be
so effsctually tired out as to fall an
easy prey.
His calculations were, however. a,
fault. not having reckoned on the
human presence. and just as he was
preparing for the fatal spring well
directed shot proved fatal to the near,
est wolf, whereupon all the confed.
crates took the hint and scurried of
with all possible speed.

"Have you ever asked her about
it?"
"No. l never happened to think
of it. Busy, you know, with all sorts
of things, SO much more practical"
The florist didn't answer. He went
tc lot of roses and violets, and, TAX
ing q handful, he handed them over
to bis late customer.
"There," he said, II give them to
you in remembrance of old times.
You might take them to your wife,
and if she doesn't like them you can
bring them back to me-"
But they never came back.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an UNI
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer Is something
entirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to
be rewarded for doing it. The prize is
only n stimulus to do something that
would be well werth doing without it.

Tribute.

While it is over thirty years ago
since ALLcoCK's Porous PLAsTERs
were first introduced to the medical
profession and public, the marked
success and unprecedented popularity
which they met with not only con.
tinues, but steadily increases. No
other plasters have been produced
which gain SO many testimonials OF
j high value as those continuously
accorded to ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTEns, and the only motive for
these exceptional tributes lies in the
fact of their being q medical and
pharmaceutical preparation ofsuperior
value. Additional proof of the true
value of ALLcocK's Porous PLAsrERs
lies in the fact that they are being
largely initiated by unsorupulous
persons, who seek to deceive the pubs
lilo By offering plasters which they
claim to be the "same," "eeual," "as
good, ""better," "bess porous plaster"
etc., while it is in general appearance
ooly that they resemble ALLcocK's.
Every one of the so-oalled porous
plastess are limitations of ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsrERs.
Avoid dealers who attempt to palm
of inferior and worthless plasters that
are purchased by them at low rates
Tor the purpose of substitution.

Recovered But the Whereabouts of His
Murderers Unknown-Police Prosecut-
ing n Search.
CHICAGO, July 19.-Four boys aged from
S to 10 years have fled from South Chicago
after numbering a companion aged 10 and
flinging his body into Calumet river near
the Illinois Steel company's docks. De-
tectives are in pursuit of the boy murder
ers, and the community is wrought up to
a great pitch of excitement over this terri
bic instance of youthful depravity, which
recalls the case of Jesse Pomeroy and
other so-called boy fiends. The murderers
are two brothers named Coffee and two
Polish boys whose names the police at
present refuse to divulge. The victim was
Michael Tuohy, of 1924 Green Bay avenue,
and the crime was committed July 10,
since which time until Monday all trace
of him was lost.
Beaten and Thrown Into the River.
On the afternoon noted young Tuohy
went out to play as usual and while on
the river bank met the Coffee boys with
whom he was well acquainted While en-
gagged in bOyish sport the Polish bows
Joined the party and pretty soon the
Tuohy boy did something which the 9TH
ers objected to and a fight was precipitat-
ed, in the course of which the four men
toned set upon their companion and
after beating him badly threw him into

they had committed the four young crimi-
mails hid themselves until evening afraid to
venture ont for fear their crime had become
known. They had been seen by a number
of people playing with Tuohy along the
river and did not know but what there
had been an eyewitness to the fatal fight.
Confessed the Crime to "A Boy.
BY dark they had resolved to run away
from home in the hope of escaping the con-
sequences of their misdeed, and after max
ing some slight preparations proceeded to
carry their resolve into effect. As they
were leaving the town they met a com
panion named John McVerry, to whom
they confided their plight, telling him that
they had fought with Tuohy and ended it
by pitching him into the river McVerry.

into fit by the guilty secret impaired to
him, and for that reason did not tell any
