STOP WOMEN

from exercising common sense3 You
can't do it. AS the old rhyme runs:
- The mans fool who tries by force or skin
To turn the current OF womans will
For if She will, she Will, you may depend ont
And If she won't she WON'T so there's an end ont"
Common sense tells a woman that when
she's sick she needs doctor.
Common sense tells woman that in
disease the first question is not of man or
woman, but of recognized medical ability.
Common sense applied to advertisements
which invite women to write TO a woman
because she is a woman and understands
women. y will show the women so appealed
to, that it's no use to write to any woman
about disease unless that woman is a
physician.
Common sense used in the reading of
advertisements will discover that no claim
is made in them to a physicians knowl-
edge or diploma. And that is not because
the claim would be morally culpable as a
lie, but because it would be legally pun
ishable as fraud. The law permits you to
masquerade as a doctor in an advertise
ment, Just so long as you don't actually
claim to be a doctor, or put NJ. D. after
your name. That's why the advertisement
is worded write to a woman " instead of
write to a doctor.

FATHER cU0DIHYs ESTATE.
Aged Priests Wealth Below What 1t Had
Been Estimated.

Michael w. Edwards, Sullivan G.
Sumner and Everett c. Damon, ap-
praisers of the estate of Rev. Patrick
Cuddihy, the priest of Milford, have
made their report to the probate court.
The total value of the real estate is
scheduled at sS5,5OO and personal at
9,995.S7.
The value of the estate was estimated
at the time Of his death as high as
81 .0O0. 900. but the figures of the APP
praisers show how far out Of the way
This estimate was. The schedule of
the appraisers develops the interesting
fact that Father Cuddihy had been
quite a heavy investor in stocks, many
Of which had evidently not proved
profitable. More than 1000 shares of
mining stock Of California, Virginia
and other states are entered upon the
list as worthless.
The schedule of personal property
shows 50 shares of Fitchburg Railroad
Company stock at $3.50, 1873 shares of
West End Street Railway Company
stock at SIS. 66S, a long list Of worth

topher and Anna o. Brandt, 81 Ward
street, who died Thursday night as the
result of being hit with a stone pre-

held yesterday morning.
Medical Examiner Frederick II.
Baker, assisted by Drs. Stevens and
Clark, were unable to find any abras-
ion or swelling in the region of the
groin, where the stone was supposed
to have landed.
The father was unwilling to make
an effort to attach the blame upon any
Of his sons playmates as he is con-
WINGED that If a stone was thrown it
was not with injurious intent. Albert
had been troubled with pains in the
region of his heart for the past few
weeks, and the doctors and Mr.. Brandt
believe that the primary cause of
death was heart trouble.

TOO CLEVER FOR THE JEwELER.
swindled by Diamond Thieves While lie
Closely Watched Them.

Joshua Chaplin, q jeweler OF London.
while visiting II diamond dealer in
Maiden lane, related this experience
with clever thieves, says the N. Y. Her.
AID:
Long after l thought l knew all the
tricks of diamond thieves, | had an *
pcrlence that taught me IL lesson ut the
cost of 5000 pounds.
"a gentlemanly appearing. plainly
attircd man came into my shop II
morning and asked to see some solitaire
diamond rings. | waited on him. and
did so with great caution. yet tried to
avoid giving offense. | placed before
him a tray containing forty rings, and
did not for n moment take my eyes
from his fingers, while he was EXAMINE
ing them. AS is customary, the tray
WIS filled, so that = vacant place would
be readily noticed.
"My customer evidently knew the
merits of the stones, and was able to Sc
lect the ~most.valuable ones ut sight. He
appeared to enjoy examining them, and
did so in II deliberate manner that
aroused my suspicion. Finally, he APP
peared to be undecided as to one of
three rings and ended by saying he
would call the lex day with his wife
and take ,one of them. This action
made me the more suspicious, and 1
was careful 10 see that all the rings
were in their places before he left the
shop.
"Whcn he did leave ] sent a clerk
after him, and we learned that he and
| his wife were ut one of the leading ho-
tells, registered from New York.
"He returned with n woman the next
afternoon, and the tray of rings was
put before them. They were both very
deliberate, and examined every ring in
the tray; but took care not to have
more than two spaces vacant at a time.
Finally, Il ring, valued at 100 pounds,
was selected, and l was told to mark it
and send it with the bill to their hotel.
| was about to suggest that | did not
like to mark the ring until it was paid
for, when the man handed me 10
pounds, which was more than enough
to indemnify me in case the ring was
not taken.
al examined my tray very carefully
and found that it was full, with the ex-
ception of the space that had been oc-
cupied by the ring just sold. l felt re-
lieved, and congratulated myself CHI
having made a good sale. My Gus
toner gave instructions as to the mark
ing, and left the shop.
Il handed the ring to OH engraver to
Dc marked and proceeded to make a
bill to seud with it to my customer.
Soon the engraver came excitedly to
my desk.
-.Do y1n know this ring is plated. and
the stone pasteg he asked.
81 was dazed for Il second. and then |
saw it all. ] hurried to the tray OF
rings and found every II of them ike
the one the engraver held. The mar
had made an imitation Of each ring.and
deliberately substituted the bogus FOL
the genuine ones, aud thus robbed me
before my very eyes. never saw the
thieves or the diamonds again"
