After Is Years--His Wife Remarked.
SEDALIA, Mo-, March 17.-After 10
years absence, during which time he
had become wealthy, George H. Hat
field has returned to find his wife mar.
ried to another man, she believing her
first husband to be dead. In 1881, a

His body was terribly mangled and

that the victim was Hatfield. Eight
years later, Hatfeld's wife married W.
H. Barnhart, a prosperous merchant,
with whom she now lives. Hatfield
has returned to share with his wife a
a fortune made in California, but
learning that she had remarked, he
quietly went his way without making
his presence known to her.

about five minutes, when undertook to

out what the experts call the heart or

had cracked all around the center. The
ball was ruined for regular playing pur-
poses, but I had heaps Of fun with it
afterward. I explained to certain Of my

found when replaced the heart
that the ball had all the appearance Of a
sound one, and that the heart would
remain in place until the ball was struck
sharply. These customers, who were
aware of the secret, would come in oc-
casionally with other friends and start
game. When the proper time came,
the man who had been selected as the
victim Of the joke would be engaged in
conversation with one of the players,
while another would slyly remove one
of the sound balls when the victim
wasn't looking and replace it with the
cracked ivory. ~
t'.It's your turn, George one of the
jokers would cry out, and then the vic
tim played. Sometimes on the very first
stroke the player would knock the loose
heart out of place., and pinion the ball
on the tip of his cue. The shot generally
astonished the spectators. Then they
would roar with laughter and applaud
with enthusiasm. The maker. of the
mysterious shot was always the most be-
wildered man in the establishments. He
would examine the pinioned ball closely
and then scrutinize the dislodged
heart.
"'Well, George, they told him laugh
ingly, there isn't a professional alive
who could beat that shot. It's the great

The Elder MI. Rush's Great Day.

He is an elderly gentleman of means.
He has standing high in the church
and has contributed to charities. In the
business world he has secured an honor
ed place for his firm. r..
Having resided in Chicago for so
many years and having contributed gen.
erously, although modestly, to its up
building, it would seem that he should
have reputation. And he did have a
reputation. The comparative few who
knew him held him in great respect.
But he never really tasted the sweets
Of popularity until his son made touch
down.
Never until his son became public
character, with his picture in all sorts of
publications and the glory of his deeds
put into display type, did the father
know what it was to hear people whis-
pering to one another: ''Do you see that
old gentleman? Well, he's Mr.. Rush, IA
ther Of the great half back *-.
Never before did he have people call
him on the phone and say: "Congratu-
lations. Mr.. Rush. This has been a
great day. l..
If he happens in at the athletic club,
enthusiastic men, young and old, seize
him by the hand and tell him how he
ought to be envied, and want to know
if he had anything up on the game.
Greatness has been thrust upon him.
The name which lay hidden in the
directory for years has suddenly become
household word. & -.~.

In the year 1868, Mr.. ]. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established a living,
paying business, and made the name "Dr. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However,, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
"iust as good as Dr.. Ward's," frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his BUSH
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
Worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
