GAVE MANY KNOCKS.
And Finally Secretary Roots Door
Was Opened Unto Him.
Row Senator Foraker Discovered
secret Code Invented by the CHIEF
of the War Observation-Disclosures
Conquered Discretion.

In order to obtain an entrance into
Secretary Roots private Office at
Washington after the hours upon
which he is on public view one must
have a knowledge of the code of
knocks, for the secretary has sig
nal that must be given before the
door of his sanctum will swing from
its hinges. When it was first adopt
ed the new scheme worked like a
charm, and senator's, representatives,
tourists and other unwelcome callers
have gone up against the door and
knocked till their knuclsles were sore
without result, because they did not
know the secret code. Since the lock-
out has been placed at two O'clock
instead of three the casualties have
been even greater, although no cab
met officer has fallen victim Since
the memorable occasion when Secre-
tary Hay tried all the knocks he
knew.
The other day, however, Senator
Foraker triumphed over the door
without the faintest knowledge of
the open sesame and he las been
chuckling over his victory ever since.
The countersign knock has by this
time become a matter of notoriety
to congressman, so many of them
having fallen victims to it. Accord
ingly when Mr.. Foraker arrived at
the war department and found the
doors locked he knew what it meant
and frowned. The stories his col
leagues had told of their vain eff
forts to learn the countersign flashed
across his mind. He had taken pains
to get there before three o'clock so
as to avoid the usual defeat, and yet
the doors were locked. He knew that
behind it were three sturdy colored
men, who would listen complacently
to his futile knocks and never stir

Faulkner GOldthwaite Losses West
Point Cadetship.

West Point, n. y, June 8.-The
following cadets have been found
deficient in examinations and were
discharged this afternoon: Third
class: William g. Mortlow and
Edward L. Oldham, Tennessee.
Fourth class: Cadets George,
Texas, and Goldthwaite, Kentucky.
The news contained in the above
dispatch is a severe blow to an am
bilious Hopkinsville boy. Faux
ner Goldthwalte is the oldest son
of Mrs. Willie f. Goldthw ate and
since early Childhood has cherished
an ambition to enter military lie.
Two years ago when only 10 he
was sent to a preparatory school
with the hope that he could get in
to West Point later on. He was
still mere boy and was not ex-
pecting an opportunity tor two or
three years. A new law was pass
ed giving Senator Lindsay the APP
pointment of an extra cadet and
young Goldthw ait S friends succeed
ed in getting this place for him,
although he had not finished the
preparatory course.
He entered the school year ago
and by hard study succeeded in
keeping up with more advanced
and older students. The annual
examinations came on this month
and of the five branches he passed
four and wrote his mother that he
had only one more and was very
hopeful of getting through all right.
This examination was held Satur-
day and he failed at the last trial.

they would probably grin.
But Mr.. Foraker is not one to give
i'm easily He frowned again, bit his
lip and dashed his fist furiously
against the door. Then he listened
and thought he heard PARKWAY
chuc6le on the other side. His scowi
grew deeper, and he ratified the door
knob impotently. conscious that a
group OF newspaper men, sworn to
secrecy about the correct fraternity
knock, were regarding him gravely
and that the secretary's men were
chuckling on the other side.
Then Mr.. Foraker stepped away
and thought for a moment. His
anger overcame him and he decided
to return and give a few hammers on
the doors just to express his opinion
Of it. Accordingly he raised his fist
and gave-it would never do 80 tell
how many knocks he gave or in what
way he gave them, but he knocked in
an unusual way. This was simply
because he was angry.
As the last knock rang out an an
swering kRuckle sounded on the in
side. Mr. Foraker, deemng this
mere sarcasm, hit the door again.
TO his intense establishment IL flew
open and a bowling attendant stood
before him, inviting him to the sec
retary's presence. He had accidental
ly hit on the right knock. AS for the
attendant, who had supposed it to be
a war department clerk, he was
dumfounded.
"Walk right in, senator" he gasped.
And as the senator vanished in the
secretary's room he caught the
words
"How did he ever learn that
knock?"
Mr.. Foraker came out Of the sec
retary's room beaming all over, after
most satisfactory interview. He
has done something that few other
visitors have accomplished, Only one
thing bothers him now-he wishes he
could remember that knock.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN
CREASE OF HEART TROUBLE.

CREASE OF HEART TROUBLE.
Heart trouble. at least among the Americans Il
certainly increasing. and while this may be large
ly due to the excitement and worry Of Americas
business life it is more often the result of veal
stomachs, Of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is fncurable; but not one
case In a hundred Of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble and pool
the same great nerves. the Sympathetic and Pneu
mogastric.
In another way also the heart is affected by the
form Of poor digestion which causes gas and fer
meEtation from half-digested food. There Is q
feeling Of oppression and heavness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended stomach or
the heart and lungs interfering with their action
hence arises papitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood making II
thin and watery which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart trouble ID
to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after meals
OF some safe. pleasant and effective digestive
preparation, like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets which
may be found at most drug stores and which con
tain valuable, harmless digestive elements in q
pleasant. convenient form.
1t Is safe to say that the regular persistent use

Dog Committed Suicide.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Lucy, a water spaniel, and a longtime
pride and pet of Morgan Miller of Canal
Dover, Ohio. is a suicide lying in a sui
cides grave. Her former master is broken
hearted and the story of mans inhuma nifty

J. c. Ellsworth of Columbus, Ohio is a

the beauty aud affection of Lucy and Of
fered to buy fer. The dog was in the room
and heard the conversation. When Mr..
Miller said that he could not sell her Lucy
went over and licked his hand.
But Ellsworth persevered. Ten days ago
he visited Miller and offered $50 for the
dog. Lucy had seen him coming and dis
appeared. She was found however, and
her new master started home by train, well
pleased.
But the other night when Mrs. Miller
opened the kitchen door, Lucy came in,
travel stained. weak and discouraged. She
was petted and fondled, but her homesick-
ness and the weariness of 1870 miles travel
over wintry roads had broken her spirit
She indicated after short time that she

500 taels have been easily earned. It is
much more likely that he will be convicted
in his role OF LO Fan.
The Substitute Dies.
In the latter case he Is taken out and
made to kneel. With mighty little hesita-
ton Chinese executioner raises q sword
aloft, 1t comes down and Bing's head rolls
in the dirt. 1t is then gravely announced
that another chapter in the International
drama has been closed and that the noto-
rious Lo Fan has paid the penalty Of his
infamous crimes with his life. In the
meantime the real Lo Fan has gotten away
safely to some more congenial part Of the
empire He is enjoying his money with
his family and humming the Chinese equiv

There you are! At least nine-tenths OF
these executions of Chinese malefactors are
purely and simply farcical Substitutes. like
Bing can be had as long as the game OF
don't object to dying. Lo Fan and his kind
don't object to paying literally. With the
executions that are taking place almost
daily here and at Tien Tsin, hardly any of
the condemned ones have been the real
malefactors. All Cinnamon look alike to
white barbarians, and the Chinese themselves
won't expose these swtndles on justice. 1t
would be spelling too good a joke! OF course
to give the Chnaman an even greater con-
tempt than he had for the foreigner.
1t is absurd to continue these executions
OF suspected Indicators. 1t Is more than
that-it is wicked for 1t results only in the
murder of a lot of wretches who took no
part in the outrages against the foreigners,
but who gladly give up their useless lives
In order to secure food for the hungry be-
reaved ones left behind.
Foreigners Regarded as Fools.
The execution of a lot Of Chinese nobies
and generals has been demanded, and my
information is that these demands will be
insisted upon and carried out within the
next few weeks. 1t will be the story OF
Bling and Lo Fan all over again. In one
or two cases, perhaps, the real yellow cul-
prits of high rank will be caught and pun
ished. 1t will be because these one or two
offenders in high places are known to the
white jewellers of Pekin, and can be identi-
fed beyond the possibility Of a doubt. But
the rest Of the Chinese mobiles and gen

swearing that we should be SO easily duped

occasion to regret the parts they took in
trying to murder all the foreigners in Chi

the powers has been increased by the events
of the last few months.

MURDER WILL OUT,
Guilty Couple Betrayed After Thirty

their tastes were not in common and he

Jected TO the elOpement that had been
planned. and which the ardent son had i'm

Finally the parents threatened exposure
The sons mercurial temperament broke all
bounds. and he plunged a stilletto into the
kearts Of both his father and his mother.
Blood maddened. he fled to the chateu
where he told the story to the beautiful
Adele They had gone SO far; they must go
farther. The rich husband was in the house,
but before the two guilty ones stole away
from its shadow ne lay dead. with the same
stilletto in his heart.
The two were captured. and sentenced to
death- They escaped to Constantinople. and
from there to New York. where they lived
Tor years. Finally. feeling that the Italian
police had forgotten the crime. they re-
turned TO Naples boldly. and for twenty
years they had lived there in sumptuous
style when accident betrayed them
After thirty years the Italian penal code
allows immunity for a crime, but at the
time of the arrest only twenty-nine years
and seven months had elapsed.
So. imprisonment for life has come to
them at last. the death penalty having been
abrogated in Italy several years ago.

Famous Lucky Stone.
From Modern Society.


A good deal has been heard Of the Lila
Fail" or stone Of destiny, which is placed
under the seat of the coronation chair in
Westminster Abbey; but few people realize
the extreme antiquity of this undressing
looking, rough. gray block. 1t was brought
to Ireland about 1900 B. c. by the Tuatha-
de-Danaans, a mysterious eastern race,
who conquered Ireland at that period. No
one Is quite clear as to their identity. but
many savants suppose them to have been
Chaldeans, Persians or Phoenicians. Those
races were certainly highly civilized, even
so long ago as the date mentioned. They
attached the greatest possible value to the
stone and used to crown all their monarchs
, on 1t.
Three of the Tuatha- de-Danaan queens
regnant who sat upon the stone of destiny
rejoiced in the curious name Of Fodhla
Bamba and Eire-the last a name that is
creeping into use again Of late, after long
eclipse. In the sitxh century Fergus, King
of Scots IAN Irshman by descent), borrowed
the stone for his coronation at Scone, and
"froze on to it, when he had 1t. 1t never
went back to Ireland and many historians
date the commencement of the distressful
country's woes from that loss. Edward I
Of England carried of the stone from
Scone and placed 1t in Westminster Abbey,
where 1t still remains
