Kiss Led to Death.

Last week at Prescott, Walla Walla
county, Washington. Frank Sloan, In
fun, kissed Miss Ella Boone, whom he
had blindfolded. She resented his sc-
tion, and pulling hat pin from her
hat, stabbed him in his leg. The pin
was broken off in his limbs and blood
poisoning resulted. An X-ray machine
failed to locate any sign Of the re-
naming portion Of the pin, and Sloan
grew worse. and died. Miss Boone had
remarked In Sloan's presence that che
had never been kissed. This innocent
remark led to Sloan's death.

There are many causes of get

Stop over-work, if you can;

with your work. You can't live
on it--true-but, by it, you
can. There's a limit, however;
