DONNED HER WEEDS

Wilkesbarre, Pa.--Heartbroken by

years of happy married life, Mrs

dead. Her children say that her grief
killed her.
Since her husband died she had
hardly ceased sObbing and moaning for
his loss came on the eve of her golden
wedding, and they had never been sep
arated before.
The old lady tried bravely to bear up
but it was impossible. At last she had
to trv on the clothes she was to wear
at the funeral. The sight of the dis
mad black was too much for her, and
she went anew In the midst of her
sobbing she sank to the floor, and was
dead in a few minutes.
She win not be separated from her
husband even in death, for the children
postponed the funeral. which had been
arranged, and the husband and wife
will be buried together in the same
grave. 1t seems to be one of the few
authentic cases on record where per-
son died of broken heart.

SMOOTH SWINDLERS
Induce Farmers 10 Sign Checks as Census
Blanks.

Sioux Falls. S. D.-The authorities
in several localities in the State are on
the watch for some smooth swindlers
who have been victimizing careless
people by means of new and unique
schemes. Some of the swindlers are
working the census" fake. They
visit the rural regions, armed with
blank forms similar to those which
census enumerators had, and claim
they are after additional information
for the Census Bureau. They have a
blank line at the bottom of the sheet
which they induce their victims to
sign. 1t is afterward filled out with
ink in the form of promissory note
and sold at the nearest bank
Another scheme of q somewhat SINH
lar nature is worked by men who pre-
tend to be chicken buyers. The far
mers sign a contract to deliver their
chickens upon a certain date, for which
they are to receive eight cents per
pound. They later discover that, in
stead of having signed contracts, they
have signed notes. which are disposed
of at a slight discount at some bank
in nearby town, where thesigners are
known. One bank in a
town near the Missouri River already
has cashed many of such notes. Under
various court decisions, the banks are
considered innocent purchasers and
the signers are compelled to pay them.

CUTTING PRICES
Supreme Court Of Massachusetts UphOIdS
Peculiar Contract.

People may have to pay more fol
their patent medicines on account OF
a recent decision of the State Supreme
Court in a Worcester case. In the past
druggists have often cut their prices
on patent medicines. A maker of one
remedy devised the scheme of printing
on the wrapper of each gross package
sold a contract to the effect that the
buyers, the druggists, must not sell the
smaller packages enclosed at a rate
lower than specified sum. This con-
tract, by its terms, was to become ef-
fective the moment the druggist broke
the package. A Worcester druggist
undersold, and claimed the contract
was without force because he did not
sign it. 1t was taken to the courts,
with the result that the Supreme
court has now decided that the con-
tract became valid and binding as soon
as the druggist had opened the pack
ages after having read the terms of the
agreement. The National druggists and
wholesalers have combined in an at
tempt to u hold this decision, and it
is said that the druggist who does not
comply will be likely to have trouble
in buying stock. Other patent medi-
cine makers are expected to take ad-
vantage of the ruling of the court and
enforce a proper respect for their pri-
ces by the contract system,

"HEARTS OF OAK" at the Auditor.
ium, Tuesday, January %.
James A. Herne has always succeed
ed in his plays in touching the heart
strings to degree. Probably no finer
example Of this ability is to be found
than in one scene of Hearts of Oak
1t is where Terry Dennison, the sailor
returns to his home after an absence
of six years to find that he is believed
to be dead. Having lost his eyesight
he wanders into the country church
yard and sits down to rest on a tomb
stone that has been raised to his own
memory. His little child comes to
him, and without either knowing of the
relationship between them, she tells
him in an artless. childish way of the
supposed death of her father. This
scene is said to be one of the best in
the whole play. Hearts of Oak will
be presented at the Auditorium Tues
day night, January %.
