MUST PROVE HE WAS GOOD.
Fortune Hinges on the Early Com
duet of Oliver Rice.


New York, Sept 25-Before jury Of
twelve staid men Oliver ]. Rice. of Pat
chogue. L. L. is prepared to prove that
he has been a model boy, of the kind
one may read about in Sunday school
books. 1t is necessary for Oliver to es-
tablish this claim in order to benefit him
self financially.
Years ago relative left property in
trust for Oliver, on condition that if he
was a good boy he should enjoy the
benefits on reaching certain age. Ra-
chel S. Rice, his aunt. he'd the property
in trust, which was TO revert to her If
Oliver ran off with a circus or set the
barn on fire blacking up for an amateur
minstrel show
Oliver says he did none of these
things, but his aunt accuses him of be-
ing sassy" and bad enough in other
ways TO forfeit the legacy. So the boy
will invade the Suffolk County supreme
court in October, and battle for his rights.
In his legal prayer Oliver asserts that
he has always been a good boy. and kept
his clothes clean. He didn't fight, swear
smoke cigarettes or steal lead pipe from
vacant houses. Oliver invariably said
Good morning and Good evening to
his elders. and carefully washed his feei
before going to bed.
The aunt will summon neighbors to
prove that Oliver is not entitled to the
legacy. The boy has a large string OF wit
neSses on his side.

HIS HEART ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
Strange Position of the Organs in IL
California Suicide.

San Francisco. Sept 26.-The police OF
Oakland were much puzzled over five bull
let wounds found just over the heart of
Cieophias GregOire He had been d sta
tionary engineer but was recently dis
charged for eccentric conduct Every
thing pointed to suicide but the doctors
could not account for man firing five
shots into his heart, when one bullet
should have been fatal. So an autopsy
was held, with a result that is almost
unparalleled in medical records. 1t was
found that Gregoire's heart was on the
right side of his body. and of five bullets
intended FOR that vital organ only one
grazed it, and the other four penetrated
the lungs. causing a hemorrhage which
ended in death.
Dr. Buleau, who made the autopsy.
said there was a general displacement of
the internal organs. The liver had been
crowded up into the cavity made by the
hearts displacement. One bullet had
penetrated the liver and others went
through the lungs. The heart was of
normal shape and size, but rested in
rather peculiar position. The stomach
was also out of place, having been forced
far to the left side OF the abdominal cavi-
ty The doctor said the case was differ
ent from any he had ever seen reported
in the medical Journals and what made
il remarkable was the good health of the
man and his wonderful physique.

patient. The detectives called upon DR..
Frauenthal but learned very little from
him, as he only knew Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Alstine professionally. and knew little
about their personal affairs.
The investigation by the detective bu-
reau mas been far-reaching. The morgue,
all the city and Brooklyn hospitals have
been carefully searched, and the police
records have been looked over every
morning TO see If by any chance she had
fallen into the hands of the police of any
OF the boroughs
The search has been unavailing, and on
Saturday Mr.. Van Alstine deter
mined TO seek his wife in other
cities, and hurriedly packed UP his
effects and left the city. The detectives
are at a loss to solve the mystery, and
while they have buoyed Mr.. Van Alstine
up with falso hopes. they have found alb
solutely nothing upon which 10 fasten a
clew Of any sort. From the time the wo-
man walked out of the hospital she has
been as completely swallowed up as
though she had never existed.

DANGER I'm SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
It's Excessive Use.


Common soda is all right In Its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but 1t was
never intended for a medicine, and people
who use Ii as such will some day regret
Ii.
We refer to the common use OF soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily and one which is fraught
with danger, moreover the soda only gives
temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonitis.
Dr. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
are large 20 grain lozenges. very pleas
ant to the taste and contain the natural
acids peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before 1t has time
to ferment sour and poison the blood and
nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses otudil DyspcpSid iapictS iii aii
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite. in

SUICIDE AND NOT ACCIDENT.
4 Man and Woman Seek Death Un
der a Rushing Train.

New York, Sept. 26.-The police this
morning were convinced that the man
and woman who were killed by a Coney
Island train in the Malbone Street tun-
mel, near Prospect Park, yesterday, did
not meet with death by accident, but by
their own intent.
The mother of John H Feeny, of 63S
Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, called at the
morgue this morning and identified the
clothing of the dead man as that of her
son. twenty-six years old She knew
nothing of the woman, she said She
said that her son was a laborer.
No distinguishing marks of any kind
are on the clothing of the woman. and
her body is too frightfully mangled to
admit of a personal Identification. Over
a score of people called at the morgue
this morning to see the bodies
The two were killed shortly after l
o'clock yesterday afternoon. As Engin-
eer George Kessel, In charge of train
for Coney Island, entered the tunnel he
saw the bodies on the track a hundred
yards ahead. He tried to stop the train.

an had been run over and their bodies

A Nansen Poem.

This snowless ice plain is like a
life without love-nothing to soften
it. The marks of all the battles and
pressures of the ice stand forth just
as when they were made, rugged
and difficult to move among. Love
is life's snow. 1t falls deepest an6
softest into the gashes left by the
fight, whittier and purer than snow
itself. What is life without loves
1t is like this ice--a cold, bare, rug.
ged mass, the wind driving. it and
rending it and then forcing it to-
gether again, nothing to cover the
open rifles, nothing to break the vio-
lence of the collisions, nothing to
round away the sharp corners of
the broken foes-nothing, nothing
but bare, rugged drift ice.-Nansen

Another reads:

An anxious mother writes:
"You will pleas give the lettle boi
five cents worth of epicac for to
throw up in five months old babe.

This one puzzled the druggist:

THE DAY BEYOND.

When youth is with US, all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won.
We snare tomorrow in dream
And take our toll for work undone.
"For life is long, and time a stream
That sleeps and sparkles in the sun
What need of any haste ?" we say.
Tomorrow s longer than today"
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again.
We have no leisure to enjoy.
$50 few the years that yet remain;
So much to do, and, ahl" we say,
"Tomorrow's shorter than today"
But when our hands are worn and weak
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like bleak
Last twilight waning to the west,
sit is not here the bliss we seek.
Too brief is life for happy rest.
And yet what need of grief?" we say
Tomorrow longer than today"

How One Reads,

The average person believes that
in reading a newspaper paragraph
he reads the whole of each types
impression, while, in fact, he only
notices the upper half of each letter.
Cover the upper half of line with
sheet of paper, being careful to
hold the paper exactly in the middle
of the letters, and you will not,
without difficulty, decipher a word.
Then place the paper over the lower
half of the line. 1t can be read
without the slightest trouble. Phil

CASTING OFF A LINE.
MIR. Glimby Meets With Little Expe
rience ON New York Wharf.

MIR. Glimby Meets With Little Expe-
rience on New York Wharf.
"I'm afraid there's one towboat
captain who would not give me a
job if I should apply" said Mr..
Blimby, land that is the man whose
line l cast off in South street the
other day. The tug was lying along
the end of the wharf, hanging by a
single line, with the loop around the
head of Spite, and the other end
made fast around the forward bits
aboard the boat. The captain was
in the pilothouse, and he called to
the deckhand that he guessed they
would go up to pier 919. I was
standing on the end of the wharf,
and when the deckhand began cast
ing the line off from the bits /
started for the Spite to cast it off
there.
II like boats, and I've loafed
along South street good deal, and
I've seen million men cast off
lines, but it's funny thing l had
never cast off one myself, but l was
going to now. All the men I ever
saw cast off a line just took hold of
it and lifted it right off, easy. l
took hold of this one with perfect
confidence, but the first thing /
knew 1t sagged down and stuck on
the other side of the Spite, and it
did the same thing again when I
tried, which I did somewhat hastily
| from another point. It didn't come
! off easily at all, and finally ! had to
take hold of it with both hands and
lift it up carefully clear of the Spite,
while the captain, looking out of
the pilothouse window, and the
deckhand, standing by the bits and
looking up at me from the deck,
smiled good humoredly at my clum-
siness. By that time had discov-
cred that in casting off line, as in
most other things, man must learn
how to do it before he can do the
work we'll. But the worst was yet
to come.
Il had always observed that when
a man cast off line he hung on to
it for q moment and walked along
the wharf till he was somewhere
near abreast of the man who was
| taking it in aboard and then gave it
a little toss, so as to keep it out of
the water, keeping it dry to make it
last longer and make it easier and
| pleasanter to handle. When l had
finally got this line off, I held on to
it and walked with it toward the
boat to toss tho loop aboard, but /
noticed that the man on deck took
up the slack very promptly and full
ly as came along. He didn't give
me credit for knowing anything
about keeping the line out of the
water. He was prepared to see me
just simply drop it when j struck
the stringpiece, and he was taking
upthe slack short SO that he could
keep it out of the water himself
when let go.
"And SO they sailed away, per-
fectly good natured about it, but
very evidently taking me for
landlubber just down from the
hills. New York Sun.

q building. We do not object to the
opera or any show that will help to up

ment to the people, but we do most
emphatically object to and protest against
the use OF the female figure as an adver-

this growing lawless advertising. As
