on Dec. ]. at about the hour Of sunset
there was change which experienced
plainsmen interpreted as favorable to the
coming of the warm southwest wind. At
sunset the temperature was only-13 de-

west a great bank of black clouds hung,
dark and awesome, whose wide cxpanse

the upper edge the curled and serrated
cloud, blown into tatters by wind was
seen to be the advance courier of the long

USED A SILK THREAD TO DECEIVE.
Alleged Occult Powers OF John Kline.
gel Exposed as Trickcry.

From the Chicago Times-Ierald.
Stamford, Conn. Jan. 22-John Klingel,
a young man who has been employed
about the railroad yard here, has been
performing mysteries through the sudden
development of some remarkable power.
klingel told those who marveled that he
acquired this power about a month ago
while driving a butchers cart. He was
about to pick up a whip Tying IN the
bottom of the cart, when to his surprise
II leaped into his hand.
Since then he has been astonishing the
good people of Stamford. Objects moved
at his direction without apparent contacts
Canes, umbrellas and pokers stood on end
and at various angles, regardless OF grav-
itation, when his hand was held within
a few inches of them. Forks, knives and
other small articles were held suspended
without visible support between his hand
and the table.
Many who witnessed the exhibition OF
his power were convinced a most mys-
ferrous magnetism was at the bottom Of
1t. But they were wrong. Fine silk
thread is the mysterious power. The
young man has perfected a trick wherein
pieces OF thread from leg TO LEG and arm
10 arm are dextrously used TO support
light objects. Thus vanish6s Stamfords
fame as one gifted with marvellous occult
powers.

BIRDS DANCE 70 HER MUSIC.
Collect on the window Sill TO Hear
Young WOman's Plano.

Albany, ". Y.-Sparrows--some Of them,
at least--are Unfortunately fond OF music.
SO young woman has discovered. When
she was playing a medley on the plano
the other morning two sparrows flew 10
one Of the par.or windows and perchcd
themselves on the ledge. They cooked
their little brown neads In listening at
titude. and when the music was merriest
began hopping gayly about on the narrow
sill.
They chartered joyously and shrlly, at
tracing the attention Of pedestrians. When
the music stopped the sparrows ceased
dancing. When the music was resumed
they again danced. Il was only when they
were wearied that they few away TO a
nearby tree and rested themselves.
Since then they have flown down 20 the
window every morning as soon as they
heard the plano and danced much after
the fashion OF children who custer about

Gave Back
MY Health.

There is no reason for being respondent
ana considering diseases of the blood
lncurabie. simply because the treatment
OF physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect cure. Though
II Is naturally disheartening to the suf-
!erer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself. no better as time goes
oy, still cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that SIS. (Swift's Spe-
clhc) has SO successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
1t from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while SIS.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. 1t is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.
