Alfred Galloway Shoots a Burglar at
 Garrettson,

From Mr. P. c. Galloway, who is in the city from Garrettson, Ark, today (rhursday), we learn of an at. tempted robbery and shooting which occurred at that place few nights ago.
 A big burly negro was forcing an entrance into Mr, Galloways gen. era merchandise store at that place and by making some nolse against the window pane, awoke MT. Gallo ways son, Alfred, aged 16 years, who sleeps in room partitioned off from the front of the store.
 Young Galloway grabbed bis shot gun aud slipped quietly up to the window. The moon was shining brightly and the little but nervy yopngster could see the big, black would.be burglar carefully raising the window frame. When it was up high enough for Galloway to see the upper portion o. the negfos body, he lifted hls gun and fired both barrels into the negro's face. The intruder yelled dropped the window and ran through an open field near- by.
 Young Galloway hurriedly jumped into bis clothes and ran 10 his fathers home and told him of the occur ence. As he was crossing the field, the negro rose up from some shruboery and again ran, getting out of Galloway's sight to the woods. The little fellow was badly frightened bnt did not have bis gun with him.
 Streams of blood were found in the direction where the man had escaped but be was nowhere to be found. It is thought that the negro went to a secluded spot in the woods laid down and died. Galloway says he is full of buckshot and cannot live

Insanity often Caused by Too LibeF-
al Indulgence In FOOd.
1t Ia we'll known to the few medical
men that many cases Of insanity are
directly due to overeating and the con-
sequent absorption into the circulation
of toxic matters from the intestinal
tract, and melancholia, whether In mild
or severe form, Is generally due to this
cause. Violent parOxysms of temper,
properly referable to bad state of the
blood from this auto toxemia, as are In
deed the exceedingly exuberant spirits
Of old or young at times. Just as we
observe In alcoholic poisoning, some
individuals are made temporarily jolly
and good natured; others are made
ugly and unreasonable.
In view of this condition of affairs
isn't 1t rather wise plan for us all to
consider rather the needs of the Or
ganism for food than the mere qucs-
ton Of palate tickling, to aim to eat
good instead of bad food and enough

the highest possible degree of pleasure
on the average, while by acting thus
senslbly we may enjoy practical i'm

The more exercise we take under
proper conditions, the more we are ex-
posed to cold, and the clearer we keep
from excess In clothing the more we
may eat; hence, in order to enjoy the
fullest measure Of table pleasures, we
must live actively, wear as little cloth

do considerable neutrality-suspicious.

should take our meals at times when
the body or brain is not overtired, and
when we "havc leisure to digest" and,

appetite Is self abuse OF the most
stupid sort, since 1t affords no pleasure
