and his offense was deemed to come
within the scope of the law punish

Vaughn was hanged, but the ease with
which he demonstrated how counter
feiting could be done soon led to nu-
merous limitations.
ONE MAN THAT KNEW WHEN TO QUIT.
"No, boys I am going to quit-this
time for good" said a melancholy
young man to a crowd of cronies,
as they stopped him in front of a
saloon and asked him to "take some
thing" says the Chicago News. "You
know I have been with you for years
and the painting we have done has
given this town vermillion hue. But
must quit now. 1t may 60 little
hard with me at first, but in short
while guess I will be able to rid my
self of all desire for those jolly rants
and revels that we have had together.
Yes, the resolution is sudden one,
but it is none the less firm.
"You see, after was married quit
you fellows for a long time and then
gravitated back to you. 1t was not
that I loved my wife any the less; l
Just got careless and thoughtless.
Somehow seemed to think that since
was providing her with all the mate
rial luxuries of life she ought to be
satisfied. I didn't intend to neglect
her, you know, and thought that she
wouldn't care if did come down town
occasionally at night.
"Since these nocturnal absences from
home have become so frequent notice
that change has appeared in her ma
ture. Her sparkling vivacity that used
to charm and electrify me has COM
menced to wane. Still she strives hard
to appear happy. But she is not the
woman she used to be. Her face has
grown wan, her cheeks have sunken
and the merry CLEAN has left her eye.
When arise in the morning with red
dened eyes and no appetite, she looks
at me pityingly and hugs the baby
closer to her bosom than / ever noticed

"No, she has never spoken to me
about it. You see, that's the devil of
it. If she would just pitch in and
give me tongue lashing, her sorrow
ing look wouldn't make me feel so
like a dog. She just looks-that's
all. Oh, no, she dosen't fear for her.

There was strange pathos in her
voice when she spoke the words that l
never heard before.
"And then she turned away and
broke into low sobs that she tried to
hide from me. Good God, boys l
didn't think those things ever existed
out of novels or off the stage. That's
the reason 1 tell you that have quit.

THE APPLE CHEMICALLY CONSIDERED.
Chemically, says The Medical Age,
the apple is composed of vegetable t.
ber, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl,
malic acid, gallic acid, lime and much
water. Furthermore, the German
analysis say that the apple contains
larger percentage of PHOSPHORUS than
any other fruit or vegetable. The
PHOSPHORUS is admirably adaptad-far
renewing the essential nervous matter
-lecithin-of the brain and spinal
cord.
1t is perhaps, for the same reason,
rudely understood, that old Scandina-
Wan tradition represent the apple as
the food of the gods, who, when they
felt themselves to be growing feeble
and infirm, resorted to this fruit for re-
newing their powers Of mind and
body.
Also, the acids of the apple are of
signal use to men of sedentary habits,
whose livers are sluggish in action,
those acids serving to eliminate from
the body noxious matters, which, if
retained, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and other allied troubles.
Some such an experience must have
led to our custom of taking appN
sauce with roast pork, rich goose, and
like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutnlize
any excess of chalky matter engender-
ed by eating too much meat. 1t isaso
a fact that such fresh fruits as the
apple, the pear, and the plum, when
taken ripe and without sugar, diminish
acidity in the stomach rather than pro-
woke it. The vegetable sauces and
Juices are converted into alkaline car
Donates which tend to counteract acid
ity. 8
