Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as a kind of insult to be asked
il they have weak lungs. All seem to
have a solid faith in the soundness OF
their own breathing machine. In cases
OF trouble they will admit there is
heavy cold" "a touch of bronchitis"
or even "a spell of asthma" but as to
weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush OF doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles Of those near and dear
to u.s. 1t is also a sad thought that we
may hug delusion as to our own health
that we only get rid of when life itself
must pay the forfeit.
Nobody can afford TO think lightly
OF lung troubles. Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them, or let them wear out, or get
better in the spring" or any other tom
foolsry that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward. Weak lungs don't grow strong
by themselves--you must heal them
and strengthen them, and rid them Of
the very earliest germs of disease, or
you arc simply committing a form OF
suicide. Either you must cure your

Try SAYS MANSLAUGHTER.
LOWERS INVESTIGATION OF THE
Killing OF WILLIAM SAWYER.

tv One witness Examined-He
saw the Inception of the Quarrel
Between the Boys and Saw Jones
throw the Rock That Caused
so,vver,s Death-Jury Took But a
Few Minutes to Make Up Its YER
dtct-PrisOner Is Within the Age
at which Criminal Responsibility
Is n Matter for the Jury and viii
scarcely he Convicted.
The coroner's jury, empanelled to in
,sstieate the killing of William Sawyer
,y Arthur Jones, at the Central Railway
GOAL chute on last Friday afternoon, re-
mrped a verdict declaring that Sawyer
zane to his death from the effects of a
how from a rock thrown by Jones, and
that in their opinion the crime was MUIR
der.
The Jury examined only one witness, a
negro boy, who was present at the time the
crime was committed and saw Jones throw
tho rock that caused his companions
death. Only very few minutes were re-
ouired to make up the verdict.
The inquest was held at the Office of
Coroner Goette at O'Clock last night.
The story told by the one witness that
was placed on the stand was that given in
the Morning News at the time the homi-
eide was committed 1t was to the effect
that the boys had become involved in
bovish quarrel and commenced to throw
rocks at each other. One of those thrown
bv Jones took effect, with fatal conse-
ndences. The little negro, who testified,
while clear enough in his statements of
the facts of the case, does not seem to be
nossessed of extraordinary intelligence,
and would probably be an easy victim for
the skilled cross-examiner.
II is altogether unlikely that Jones will
ever be convicted of the killing, as the law
fixes the age of criminal responsibility at
n years and provides that between the ages
of 10 and IA it is a question of proof of ca
pacity for determination by the jury
Jones is just 10, and when well defended
as he probably will be, it is not probable
that the jury will find that he was suffi-
GENTLY intelligent to tell the difference be-
tween right and wrong, and will in all
likelihood, acquit him. He is still at the
station house, but will be transferred to
Jail on the coroner's warrant some time
during the day.
