ing that be be appointed administrator

James 7. Walters for the reason that
he is claiming certain parts of said es-

fact belong TO the estate OF deceased.

SUCCESSFUL INVENTOR.
Seldom /. ClawsOn Gets a Handsome
Royalty Check Today.


Seldom I. Clawson, the inventor and
patentee Of the "Baby-charmer" was
agreeably surprised 10 receive In his
mall this morning a check for $l75, be-
ing the first installment on the royal
ties Of his Invention that he recently
placed in the hands Of an eastern nov
city firm.

blessed martial peace makers as the
inventors OF the baby comfort and the
rubber nipple which when placed over
the top OF a bottle full OF warm mix
and then applied to "Sweetie's tootsies'
creates ponderous pail of passiyity
to envealope the domestic hearth like
cloak.
Mr.. Clawsons invention comes as a
boon and blessing to men, 10 say
nothing OF the women. 1t consists OF
three cellulold balls dangling at stated
intervals from string, which Is In
turn fastened to wire spring that can
be attached to a bed post or chair
thereby giving baby more fun than II
he had spoonful OF molasses and q
pound OF feathers.
II Is subtle invention and at first
glance its scope Is not fully recognized.
The balls are respectively OF the hue OF
the three cardinal colors, to conform
with the educational theory that color
Is an essential part OF baby's education.
Then. too. the youngster unconsclously
learns TO Judge distances and take OBJ

cessful Is this experiment that II is
said that babies who have been intro
duced to the seductive charmer exper-
fenced less difficulty In locomotion and
subsequently fewer falls than others,
Judging from the first check received
Mr. Clawson will derive handsome
income from the invention Of the nov
city.

OF the situations were strained, the
people generally acted with a freedom
from rant that was quite refreshing
Miss Ryan herself Is a clever little
artist and she won instant favor with
the audience. Mr.. Mayne as the
square" gambler, played in manly
fashion throughout; Mr.. MaxwelIs
darby was a good piece Of comedy con-

all capable, though Mr. Edwards could
tone down his shouting william to good
advantage.
The same bill runs for the remainder
OF the week and Is assured Of good |
