Judge Jackson had been in failing
health for the past four years, but it
has been only within the past eight or
nine months that the progress OF the
disease began To cause bis family and
friends uncasincss. Last year he went
IN lengthy trip To the far west in
search of health. Later he went to
Townsville. Ga. where it was hoped
the mild and yet bracing climate would
restore his one-timc vigorous constitu-
ton. The trip did him little good.
and. after Il time he was brought
home Al his old home Judge Jack
son seemed 10 improve slightly until
he went to Washington to sit in the
second hearing of the income tax
cases. He stood that trying trip only
tally well. and after his return home
appeared To lose strength rapidly.
Nevertheless Judge jackson never
took to his bed until last week. Since
that time his family and friend, saw
that the end was near, ana his death
was not unexpected.

SHOP HINTS FOR WORKING BOYS
Good manners and neatness will hide
the patches.
The boy who watches the clock may
become walking delegate but ne VIII
never be member of the firm.
Idleness makes the hours drag.
Killing time is harder work tnan
saving wood. !,
Blackened shoes make the feet look
smaller.
It is better to own pair of patched
trousers than to owe for new suit.
As man, the boy who talks back, u
never gets heard.
When an employer sees clean floor
he soon finds out who swept it.
The first boy to quit work is usually
the last to be promoted.
"I'll do better next time" is a good
motto only when you have done your
best this time.
The way to get opportunities is tc
make them.
The most incompetent workman in
the shop can teach the brightest ap-
prentice something.
If the apprentice knew it all the
foreman would be discharged.
Bad habits and poor work go togeth-
er. Poor work means poor pay.
A boy that steals time cannot be
trusted with money.
The boy who is always complaining
that his employer is imposing upon
him is generally imposing upon his EN-
ployer.
Even dishonest employer appreci-
ates honest work.
The boy who obeys promptly and
willingly has his trade half learned.
IL is the tardy boy that has the
strongest objection to working little
overtime.
The boy who can spend his money
for cigarettes and tobacco does not
need an increase in wages.
Impudence is not indicative of bright
ness.
The best workmen do the least talk
ing.
Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve months-old child, suffering from
infantile diarrhea, to me. 1t had been
weaned st four months old and had al
ways been sickly. I gave it the usual
treatment in such cases but without
benefit. The child kept growing thin
ner until it weighted but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
! then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rh@a Remedy. Before one bottle of
the % cent size had been used mark
ed improvement was seen and its con-
tinued use cured the child. Its weak
ness and puny constitution disappear
ed and its father and myself believe the
child's life was saved by this Remedy.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh, which in some
respects resembles the former. The individ-
uals suffer severely with pain about the FORE
head, eyes and ears, with soreness in throat
and stoppage of the nasal passages, and in
fact, are incapacitated for work of any kind
for days at a time. These are catarrhal suf-
fercrs Ely's Cream Balm has been used with
the best results in such cases. The remedy

FOND OF A PAPER DIET
Peculiar Appetite Cultivated by Local
Dressmaker-EatsH Her Favorite
Newspaper.

Mrs. De Lyons, a dressmaker at 313
Geary street, probably stands alone for the
popularity of appetite which she has ac-
quired. She must have her daily allow
ance OF newspaper to eat or she is made
uncomfortable for the day. She does not
make set meal of it, but eats and digests
the margin of her newspaper at the same
time she is digesting the news.
AS she reads she tears off strips of the
margin and when she has thus operated
near to the printed portion, uses her always
convenient scissors to clip it still closer,
not minding even if she inadvertently cuts
into some of the printed matter, though
having, as she says, no particular desire
for it.
She apparently finds something to tickle
her palate in the strange diet, for she
shows decided preference for the material
of the Examiner.
81 don't know when began the habit"
she said in reply to an interviewer's ques-
ton, but can distinctly remember being
punished for eating the margin of my
schoolbooks when child"
Mrs. De Lyons is a comely widow and has
a daughter of 20 and a son of II, who reside
with her.
at has never affected my health in the
least" she continued. "a peculiar feature
of the habit, however, is that | lose all de-
sire for indulging in it as soon as am at
all indisposed.
81 have never attempted to break myself
of it, as it affords me pleasure without ex-
pense and without any danger to my
health, and it has no Objectionable features
as others, such as the habits of smoking
and chewing tobacco

DIR. PLOUF DEAD.
Affecting Meeting With His Sister-Mc-
Gaughey Will Be Charged With
Murder To-Day.

DR.. Plouf, who was recently shot and
mortally wounded on Market street, died
last night. His assailant, McGaughey,
will be charged with murder to-day.
His hearts greatest longing was gratified
yesterday morning at 10:45 o'clock, when
Mrs. Louise Edwards, his sister, arrived.
The meeting between the dying man and
the sorrow burdened woman is described
as being inexpressibly sad. DR.. Plouf was
gently sleeping when Mrs. Edwards came
into the room, but her presence seemed to
penetrate the very soul of the wounded
and dying sleeper, for with slight start
his eyes slowly opened and rested upon her.
Louise" softly exclaimed the dying
man, feebly rising and stretching out his
arms at the same time, ''now l can go,
and he fell back unconscious. Since then
he has been in perfect stupor and the end
is expected at any moment.
Mrs. Edwards left Boston last Wednes-
day night. The long rapid journey, COM
bined with the knowledge that death how
ers near, has completely Frustrated her,
and it is feared that serious illness will
result.
Monday another bullet was cut from DR..
Plouf, making two that have been ex-
tracted. The last bullet had passed nearly
through the body and then worked itself
to the surface under the left shoulder. DR.;
McLain made slight incision and secured
the ball. 1t did not show the slightest
scratch or indentation, appearing just as
when it came from the mold. A few days
ago DR.. Plouf was informed that he was
dying and likely to go at any moment.
81 am ready to go, :" he said, ''but [ will
not die until | have seen my sister"
