A certain poet thus breaks forth:
"Oh, the snore, the beautiful snore, fill
Ing the chamber from ceiling to floor;
over the coverlet, under the sheet. from
her wee dimpled chin to her pretty

June, now sunk to the wall of crack
ed bassoon; now filutellke subsiding,
then rising again, is the beautiful snore

The record for Ceylon snipe shooting

The saddest tears those that never fall,
But are held smarting in the aching eyes;
The truest prayers can find no words at all,
But futter wearily to God in sighs.
We need not speak II with our hearts we pray
And by our living try to do his will,
Who leads us gently in the narrow way
And when wb murmur whispers, peace, be
STILL"

The Doctor

The doctor tells you what to eat ~
And likewise what to wear.
He checks each pleasure that you meet
And says ''you do not care"
{,
The doctor is a canny elf; ~
He warns US 'gainst diseases,
But wears his clothes to please himself
And eats Just what he pleases.

MANY WERE DECEIVED
LIBLE PEOPLE IN THIS
CITY
DID A RUSHING BUSINESS
Victims Almost Fought to Get Into
Warner Bros Office to Give
Up Their Hard-Earned
= Coin.

If all We're known Of the fake practices
of the men that advertised themselves as
magnetic healers and operated at $50 Ce-
dar street under the name of Warner
Bros, it is certain that a long list of
dupes could be given.
The G 10 be contained an article the
other day telling how they robbed poor
woman OF nearly all she had, and 1t is
beginning to appear that. this is but an
Introduction to what may yet be discov-
cred Of their foul receptions. Now it is
told of them that they not only used the
faith cure, but that they went to the ex-
IRENE of hypnotizing. several persons and
induced them to part with their money
while under the influence. A person who
| lives near the above number and who had
| ample opportunity to watch the flow of
people that daily went to and from their
rooms, tells a few things about them
| that goes to sustain the belief that they
were fraudssof the most skilIful kind.
He tells of people who were SO intent
on returning to take their treatments
that they could. not wait their turn. He
thinks that they had been placed under
a hypnotic spell and remained in it over
meAt He states that he witnessed sew
eral rushing into the doors that led to
the Warner Bros rooms as If they were
trying to get a seat in a house when
nearly all the seats are known to be TAX
en-. He saw them even struggle in an
ger to get ahead of some one else, and II
appears that the people that he had
known to be calm and considerate all
their lives would not go to such ex-
tremes were Its not because they were
drawn by some peculiar power.
Several of the duped persons who a
week or two ago dreamed of restoration
to health and were led to believe that it
was only a question of a few days at the
most when their Ills would be put to
flight are now back consulting their cd
family doctors and are Iamepting the
money out of which they were swindled.
One. man who was victimized said that he
felt sure that-there- were fully hundred
and possibly more that are sorry for their
experience. He thinks that little will
ever be heard 5of all the schemes resorted
to, as the sWindled are very careful to
keep quiet. He also said that not only
the poor and ignorant were made victims,
but people Of intelligence and social
standing were among them.
There are just as many lame and halt
and anaemic people in the city today as
there were before the swindlers came
and while the public laments the fact
that they should be imposed upon by
such rascals it will probably be an eff
fective way of teaching people not to
patronize strange doctors who are liable
at any moment to fold their tents and
steal silently away, leaving behind them
the sick in worse condition than be-

place and nearly 5000 bath checks were
sold. The gymnasdc entertainment given
in the morning by st. Paul and West

Herman and IEittner put their class Of
thirty trained athletes through gymnastic
evolutons. The programme consisted Of
pole vaulting. horizontal and parallel bar
work. shot putting, high and broad jump
ing and closed with a game of battle
ball.
After the exercises the baths were
opened and the stream that presented
checks at the suit stand was something
that almost startled the keepers. Many
hundreds had to wait before they could
be supplied and this seady stream kept
up all day and far into the evening.
One thing that impresses the visitor to
the baths is the orderly way In which
everything is conducted. There was no
loud or vulgar talk heard, no drunken
people allowed to enter the gates, and
the most fastidious saw or heard nothing
that would make them want to stay
away in the future. =ie refreshment
stands were kept very busy all day.
A man from st. Louis was here yester-
day to examine into the system here with
a view to putting in a similar resort in
that city. He expresses himself as more
than pleased with the st. Paul baths and
says they are vastly superior to any
baths in his city He thinks the low price
