tie COmpeis -Four stolen Turkeys to
Ely with Him.

In seeking to escape from the police
recently Il. c. Jones, who is credited
with being a chronic petty larcenist,
improvised a balloon out of four or ave
turkeys, says the Denver Times. Pa
holman William Hogan was trudging
peacefully down Market street about
o'clock In the evening when his eye fell
on the form Of man turning into Mar
ket from 18th. In the mans hands,
two in the hand, dangled four live.
squawking turkeys At the instant
when officer Hogan's eyes lit on the
man and the turkeys the mans eye
lit on the form of officer Hogan. This
coincidence was followed by strange
doings. The man with the turkeys
bolted for the stairway leading to fur
nished roops with Officer Hogan I'm hot
pursuit. The man seemed to realize
as he reached tho foot Of the stairway
that unless something miraculous hap
pencd he would he overtaken. A hap
py thought seized him. with a quick
movement Of his arms be showed The
four turkeys-which he had hitherto
carried dangling, head down, from his
hands, and had found to be a great
burden-aloft above his head In
stantly the wings of the great birds ex-
panded and began to flap nightly.
This action of the four pairs Of wings
resulted in a motion much like that
OF a balloon, a flying machine or an
aeroplane Mr.. Jones found himself
jerked quickly and irresistibly up the
stairway and rapidly out of the
clutches Of the pursuing copper. The
movement was a powerful one, and II
would unquestionably have landed Mr..
Jones in safety had it not been for the
roof But alas! the roof WAS in the
way. The four muscular turkeys
scared steadily and serenely upward,
passing the first floor landing with
ease and reaching forward with great
ambition for higher things Mr.. Jones
chuekled gayly All Of a sudden,
though, there was a dull thud and a
heavy fall. The heads of the four
turkeys had crashed into the ceiling,
and, dazed by the concussion, the four
turkeys and Mr.. Jones tumbled into a
squealing, kicking heap on the floor
Onicer logan rushed up, seized them,
bundled them into the patrol wagon
and sent them to the police station
house. Mr. Jones was locked up for
petty larceny and the four turkeys
We're turned over to the custodian to

There Is no way in which people
exhaust themselves, or kill themselves
so quickly as by exercising the off C.
tions?o
This striking remark was made by
one Of the best physicians IN America.
He was a man who had studied deeply,
observed keeuly, and knew men and
women thoroughly. Continuing, he
said:
Sentiment is grand, lovely
thing, aud the world cannot live with
out IL, but the exercise OF this seuti-
ments invariably exhRusts. People
may not feel il, but IL is true neverthe-
less. A man or woman breaks down,
wears out, and then wonders at the
cause. There should be no occacion
for wonder. I have explained the
cause"
II the men and women OF the nine-
teenth century do not feed the forces
that produce sentiments, affections,
feelings, they are certain to break
down. to become exhausted; and TO die
before their time. DO not tell me
these things are theories for they are
solemn facts"
"You ask nae what / would do" he
continued. 81 answer: Begio to feed
these forces; feed them constantly;
feed them with the best and most
scientific discovery you can secure. II
you ask me what is the best, | uuhesi-
tatingly say it is that grand prepnra
tion which has been so long before the
people and is SO popular, Warmers
Safe Cure. know that it possesses
powers known to no other discovery
and know that thousands of men and
women cannot live without it today.
II you will stop and think, or ask your
friends, you will see that what l say
is correct, and, believe, be led TO try
it at once, II you have not already
done So"
The facts stated by the doctor and
the advice lie gives are sound. 1t is
absolutely true that many men and
women are enabled 10 live and ep joy
life entirely through the power which
this great remedy gives them, and
there are thousands Of others who
need to follow in the same path.

KIND OF PIPE TO SMOKE.
Amber Substitutes Should BE Avoided
as They Are Very Dangerous.

Amber Substitutes Should BE Avoided,
as They Are Very Dangerous.
From the London Telegraph: A soft
clay is invariably cool smoking. be-
cause the acid oils obtained on the de-
structive distillation of the tobacco are
absorbed instead of collecting In a lit
tie pool, which must eventually. either
by the volatiliZation or by mechanical
conveyance, reach the mouth. An old
wooden pipe or brier, SO dear to invet-
crate smokers, becomes smooth
smoking" because the pores of the
wood widen and so absorb, as is the
case with clay and meerschaum, a
large proportion of the tobacco oils. A
hook-shaped pipe must be better than
pipe the bowl of which is on the
same level as the mouth, for the sim
pie reason that in the former a con-
siderable quantity of the oil is kept
back in the U-shaped part of the pipe,
while In the latter the oil travels easily
down the stem. Ebonite stems are In
general Objectionable, because they
commonly spoil the true flavor of the
tobacco smoke. We know instances
whore ebonite stems have produced
| distinctly Objectionable symptoms in
the throat. Bone or real amber makes
much more satisfactory stem, or the
pipe should be OF wood throughout.
Amber substitutes. and especially cell
luloid, should be discarded entirely as
dangerous. Pipes Of special construo-
ton cannot be regarded with much IA
vor, such as those which are said 10
be hygienio and usually contain a so
called nicotine absorber. Those smok-
ers who require such auxiliary attach
ments had better not smoke at all.
