SUFFERED FROM HIS THREAT,
When He Wanted Candy and Peanuts
They Were Not to Be Had.

When He Wanted Candy and Peanuts
They Were Not to Be Had.
Just as Mr. Suffer was starting for the
railroad station with his wife and children
to take very long journey Mrs. Suffer
suddenly exclaimed.
''See here, John. We can never go away
without some fresh broken candies. No
one ever went on railroad journey who
didn't have lot along
tAnd l." put in Miss Della Suffer. aged
Z, "insist on some peanuts and cough

'That's all right, said Suffer. eve can
buy all those things on the train. There
are about ten men who spend their time
marching through the cars selling fresh
broken candies and coughdrops. Whatever
else happens to the traveller he's never
allowed to run short of those commodi
ties"
But when they boarded the train the
army of peanut vendors, cough-drop deal
ers and the fresh broken candy merchants
were nowhere to be seen. Ordinarily the
traveller was pelted with these goods until
he had to buy and eat some in self-defense.
On this occasion, however, not a SINGLE
peddler was in sight.
"0utra geous," said Suffer to the con-
ductor. "Do you mean to say that the
company has ceased to provide its patrons
with fresh broken candies and recently
roasted peanuts? What has becoma NJ

Furnishing the Bedroom.

1t is well to remember that in times of
illness your bedroom is either your prison
or your pleasaunce. Cheerfulness and
absolute comfort are the requirements
here. The room should not be incum-
bered with much furniture; it is far better
whenever possible to have the furniture
fitted and fixed Recesses such as fire.

their simply painted panel doors add
much to the appearance of the room.
Pictures are of doubtful advantage in a
bedroom.
There is just now a happy reaction in
favor of the so-called chintz papers of bold
flower patterns. They give delightfully."-
cheerful look to room, and with them
pictures are quite out of place. Papers
with cold, gray grounds should be avoided.
They are always dull and cherries. 1t is
a good plan and clean and wholesome
one to paint the margins OF the floors for
about eighteen inches from the walls.
Paint is better than stain; it is easier to
renew when worn, and can be applied to
any old floor where stain would make a
bad Job. 1t also offers a variety of color
ing that helps in the decoration of room.
With a painted margin less CARPET is

and, being of rectangular shape. it can be
changed end for end when one part gets a
little worn. The modern brass bedstead is
surely an ugly object, with its hard, un-
sympathetic glitter. How much better to
have bedsteads of hard wood well designed,
or with head and foot paneled and painted.
Surely, taking into consideration the
greater attention now paid to matters of
cleanliness and sanitation, the old dangers
that led to the disuse of wooden beds need
scarcely be feared.-The National Review.

cure the new leases, and that having
failed he would hold on to what was left.
The plaintiffs side of the case considers
this material, as tending to show that
Wasserman then believed he had trans
ferred his stock not as a sale, but for a
certain definite purpose, and also that he
believed they had been used for that pur-
pose.
In the afternoon Leon Sloss was on the
stand with the company's books, telling
about the assets of the company and trac-
ing up the ownership of its stock. By his
testimony it appears that at the time
Wasserman is said to have sold his stock
the company had available assets worth
over $500, 900, besides its vessels, its stores
and a surplus reaching to the millions.
This evidence was submitted to show that
a man who held stock in such a company
would not sell it for $50 share below par
unless he had some good reason for
doing So

I. yiotms Of Osrsbro Spinal Nsninei-
tis Al Fsoyd County.


Y III. b. w. Sniock, who was sent
u ii Floyd county by the state board
n ~ health to investigate the deadly
y ,oalady in that section, has re-
4 tnrned and was in Bowling Green
4 Inst week to make his report to the
il secretary of the board. AS is
n known, he found the disease to be
N cerebro-spinal meningitis. 1t was
n hll confined to an area of about
four miles between Beaver creek
and Bull creek in the extreme
southeastern part of the county.
There have been 25 cases and 20
deaths. Some of the unfortunates
died without medical attention,
but Drs. Campbell. Gray, Wright
man and Pinson, Of Pikeville, and
Stallard, of GAINESVILLE, rendered
all the assistance possible. Those
attacked by the disease died very
quickly, one man being dead in
two hours after the first symptoms
appeared. They all died in con-
vulsious, and the efforts Of the
physicians could not allay their
terrible suffering.
An epidemic of measles has also
prevailed in Floyd county and n
number of deaths caused by this
disease were attributed to menin-
gifts. There were two hundred
cases of measles, but in n mild
form, and the fatality has n ot boon
great. Some of those ia the Bull
creek vicinity who had the measles
on convalescing we're stricken with
the dreaded spotted fever and died
in II few hours.
A better feeling now prevails in
the stricken district, Tor the me-
ningitis is subsiding, and it is not
thought likely that the disease
will spread. DR.. Smock found the
people very poor, living in houses
in the worst sort of sanitary condi-
ton, and in a low fat country be-
tween two creeks, in just such a
place as the spotted fever always
selects for it's ravages. There was
some difficulty in securing burial
for the victims, as those who had
escaped the disease were afraid to
go near it.
