No, sir, you can notw answered the
girl in freezing tone.
oh" went on the young man not ut
eli abashed. you misunderstood me. l
simply asked how the old folks were at
home"
WELL" answered the girl lsughingly,
"in that case you had better come along
and find out for yourself"
All was quiet on that side OF the
church during the early part OF the
service. A little man with fluffy hair
and fierce eyebrows sat over by the
window With his gawky four year old
child. In the seat behind was boy Of
perhaps twelve years old. His hair was
plastered down tight over his head. He
had on new plaid suit, standing col
lar with a red checked tie, and withal
looked very uncomfortable.
Along in the middle Of the sermon the
child in the front pew turned about and
faced the audience. Then for amuse-
ment he began to see how far he could
run his tongue out and down the back
of the seat.
The boy in the seat behind appar-
emily was looking straight ahead at the
minister, all unaware Of the child gazing
at him. There was merely q slight
noise as il his feet were scraping the
floor. / glanced across the aisle and eaw
the larger boy cross his legs slowly 30 as
to rest his right foot upon his left
knee. But that was all.
Abee buzzed about the window and the
little fellows eyes went up involuntarily,
though his tongue was still glued to the
back OF the seat Quick as q fash the
boy in the new suit had raised his right
foot from his left knee and clapped his
heavy shoe on that tongue and held it
as in q vice.
The youngster gave q jerk and howl
that awoke the whole church. His
father siezed him suddenly. tucked him
screaming and struggling under his arm
and could be heard whacking that child
for block down the street. The boy in
the new suit and plastered hair was
demurely and attentively watching a
fly play tag with the minister's ear.

The street is sleeping. The sun tops
the higher buildings, the telephone
croesbars and the viaduct. The pave
ment lie still in shadow. A block away
some one opens a door. In the dis
lance q wagon rumbles over the uneven
pavement. The street cars are not yet
out. A whistle down in the yards sounds
shrill and sharp. The morning breezes
murmur softly through the wires over
head. Two chimney sparrows are
twittering over straw in mid air. A
swarm Of insects hover about spot on
the walk. A dog creeps around the
corner. Far up the street man with
glistening pail is going to his work.
That is sn. The night is gone but the
day is not yet come. 1t is the hazy.

discovery is known to the world, IN order
that his fellow men may proht by What

desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which sucn
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment 1T
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. AS
the remedy in question was the result of
many wears research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. re-
quest to Fl. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out OF
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
FROM
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. ODDS
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

NO VERDICT AT HAzLEToN,
COrOner's Jury Divided ON QucstfO

COrOner's Jury Divided ON Question
of Sherin's Right to Shoot.
the coroner's jury which has been in
curing into the Lattimer shooting met
Saturday at Hazleton, and after dcliherat-
ing for three hours the members decided
they could not agree, and adjourned to
meet again on Monday night.
No doubt that the deputies shot and kill
ed the strikers was raised. bat when it
came to saying in the verdict that they
were not justified in shooting there was
serious objection on the part of two jury
men. The latter wanted the verdict to
read, "the deceased came to their death
by wounds inflicted by bullets from guns
in the hands of the deputies" but the re-
manning four on the jury thought the
shooting was unwarranted, and desired to
say SO in the verdict
There is much indignation about the city
over the failure of the jury to agree at
once and decisively that the sheriff ana bis
deputies were not justified in shoot .g.
Two more Of Sheriff Martins dep ties at
the Lattimer shooting surrendered to the
court Saturday. They are John Salem
of Hazieton and Frank Mummy of Har-
risburg. They We're each held under IS OO0
