 The Woolsey auditorium and the memorial vestibule are progressing rapidly. the walls having reached the second story. The general outlines of the two buildings can now be seen very clearly.

| self to death was to try escape. and in four cases out of six, that meant death or mutilation. The convict camp was | guarded by men armed with rifles who had orders to shoot when one of the convicts made break for liberty, and 1t is declared that often a despera te man would deliberately choose that method of ending his endless misery, We'll just before we got picked up | something happened which rather frightened everybody connected with the business, and it was because of that feeling we got off so easily It seems a young man had been ar- rested somewhere in the State and sent down to the convict camp to serve out d long sentence. He came from a good family and had been on the road only a few weeks They set him to the hArd- est kind of work and fed him, as all. the rest were fed, on the poorest kind or food. All the time he was running, more and more in debt at the camp sa- loon and store until, if he had work efT out what he owed, according to the camp books, it would have kept rinl there three years.
 Finally he persuaded the man in charge of the camp to write to his fatl1- CT in the North and ask him if he would send a check to cover his son's debt and buy him a ticket home. The check was promtply sent. The night it arrived at the camp the manager pub it in his safe, intending to get it cashed next morning and then put the young man on a train and send him back home.
 As. fate would have it, the young man decided that night that he would wait no longer for help from home He broke through the stockade and got fifteen minutes start before his absence was discovered. The man who learned of his escape knew nothing of the arrival of the check. which would have released him. Bloodhounds were put on trail and after several hours tracking they ran him down in the depths of tamarack swamp. In the effort to cap ture him he was shot to death and they brought only the body back to the con- vict camp.
 Under the circumstances the thing made terrific sensation, and it was while they were laboring under it's in- fluence that we fell intd their hands, Chicago Tribune.

the boy was gone Devoured? Van ished?
 ''I don't know, gentlemen said Ma jor Montford; q can't tell what be- came of the little black fellow. Ali Beg had no sooner made his low obeisance (they call it salaam) to Colonel Dinwiddie and the circle than he waved the empty cloak a few times, spread it over the leopard's head and covered that chop-lic6ing demon. As we looked the cloak dropped down. down, till it lay flat and spreading on the sand. The leopard was gonel I picked up the ill-smellng cloak my self, and if the earth had opened and swallowed the beast it could not have disappeared more thoroughly. Well, that's nearly all of the super natural part of the story We repeated 1t till every man in the station was half daffy about mysticism and bankrupt with paying admission fees. We'd have all become Buddhists, I guess, if one fine day Colonel Dinwiddie's niece hadn't come along, touring India with party of English folks and a camera She was the prettiest, daintiest-" Now stop. Harry" cried Mrs. Mont ford. "Ill finish the story. Well, as the major was saying, I came along and found the whole station crazy about the mysterious performances of Ali Beg. Of course, I had camera. and I made up my mind to see the show and make as many pictures of it as l could Of course, that meant a matt nee in the middle of the day, when the sun is at the proper angle for photographs. And we had it. It all happened just as Harry told it, and was snapping away all right till-well, I didn't exactly"
 "Out with it, Anne. You fainted when you saw the leopard, laughed Mont ford
 But you you picked up the kodak and went ahead snapping it and turn ing the films, didn't you?"
 "Yes, and I was quite methodical about it. too."
 Now, what do you think?" conclud- ed the majors wife, pouting her dis appointment, when we developed and printed those pictures there wasn't sign in any of them of Ali Beg, the boy, the leopard or even the cloak"
 Was there a picture or anythlngv asked MT. Hemmersly, the spiritualist.
 That's the funny part of it." ex- rlained the major, "the pictures of the group of staring officers and soldiers were perfect. Get them down, Anne. I never knew how perfectly idiotic poor Pitcairn could look tin I saw those photographs, John H. Raftery in Chi cago Record Herald.

THE MAJORS STORY.

Speaking of spirit manifestations Montford, when Mime. Blavatsy, Co,o- mel Olcott and all the modern adopts had been discussed, T don't profess to understand anything about occult sci ence and I am prompted to confess that one little experience l had in India"
 If you tell that story, major, I'll quit the room. You know that I can explain away your whole theory, That Marjheet adept was all right. It was the fault of the camera or something. -
 Now come, come, Anne. Don't spoil the story, Try your hand at a Welsh rarebit if you don't like to hear it, but let me tell it my own way first You can add all the trimmings after ward"
 So the sweet little lady pouted like a sweetheart at the f1orid beau who had been her husband for five years and left the room.
 T was quartered at Marjheet that year with my squadron of the House. hold Cavalry. It was our first try-out in the tropics, and every jolly officer, line and staff, was dying of ennu It was too hot for golf, the ponies were too sick with the fever to stand even an inning at polo and there wasn't toIerable white woman within sixty miles. We were all bachelors but ColD- mel Dinwiddie. and he, for reasons of his own, had left the madam in Brn- ingham and was glad of it.
 Well, we were hard put to it for ,,,,ti TpSi q weird faced, inquisitive young chap, be- gan to give us all the creeps with his stories about occultism, astral bodies spooks and manifestations Well, Din widdie and Pitcairn and I kept up the best mess in the station, and. of course, every buck in the garrison who had the entree sponged off our hospitality. So when they were all worked up with the ensign's story hit upon the canny idea of getting up one of the Indian adopts, as Pitty called them, to give seance in our garden. It wasn't garden at all, as matter of fact, but sandy, fiat bit of ground fenced in a the back of our bungalow, with bower in the middle made of nothing better than a hipped roof, cane pillars and mos quito bars It was a good place to play ecarte of a hot night but in the daytime it was as hot as the fire box of Tophet.
 "So Pity arranged matter with his sorcerer and I sold tickets to the enter tainment at two shillings. English money, for the officers, one for the sol diers and one bottle of warm stout apiece for all corners. We wrote the tickets out by hand on the backs of old playing cards, and they went like hot cakes, for the unlucky Tommies didn't

DAILY BLOWS
Brought on Appendicitis.

If person will continue to put a little poison in the body each day, for instance like a cup of coffee each morn ing when coffee acts as poison, and it frequently does, the result will be an attack some day in some of the organs of the body The little disturbances each day pile up and finally become a big disturbance.
 Many cases of appendicitis have been brought on by coffee drinking. It first affects the nerves of the stomach, and the disorder travels on down through the bowels and results in some kind of bowel trouble, frequently appendicitis.
 A lady in Fredonia, N. Y. says, Dur ing my school life both as student and teacher I drank coffee regularly Most of the time I knew the coffee was injuring me but did not feel like giving it up. First my nerves felt the effect and later on constipa ton developed and after that, the last year I had a severe attack of appendicitis. My doc tor and friends all agreed that these troubles were largely caused by coffee drinking.
 While I was i'll some postum was sent me by friends. l supposed it was coffee and hesitated at the first cup, but when the difference was explained, and I drank as much as I cared for. with such good results, I concluded Postum was just what I wanted and have used it ever since It greatly aids digestion, Is nourisning ana refreshing.
 My food and nourishment while get ting well from appendicitis were Pos tum and Grape-Nuts.
 If I had known of Postum years ago I might have been saved tremendous amount of suffering brought on by cof- fee drinking.
 Rev.--is one of my converts to Pos tum. He suffered greatly from dys- pepsia but has entirely recovered since he quit coffee and began using Postum.
 Dr.-who suffered long while from nervous troubles says Postum brought him out when he quit coffee, and he constantly urges it on his patients who are coffee drinkers

EVEN EGGS AND sAUsAGEs.

Razors, Cologne and Many Other Gifts
 to the Prince in Chicago
 The elite of Chicago, assembled at the Auditorium and the First Regiment Armory last night, were not the only persons present to pay homage to Prince Henry of Prussia. The country side around rallied as If for donation party. In came a flood of presents de- l signed to promote the comfort or adorn- ment of the distinguished visitor. Old whiskey and new eggs, perfume, cigars and raZors were among the gifts for royalty.
 Two packages came to the Auditori-' um Hotel by express containing eggs, with the assurance that they were laid yesterday" One package was sent by farmer who must surely be a wag, for it bore the direction, From Ru- dolph's hennery to Prince Henry" and inside was 8 note from the sender in Woodstock, H., saying that he was sat- isfied the prince could get no fresh eggs in Chicago. He had been there himself and knew from experience. Another case of eggs was received from rural admirer in Waukesha county, Wis, but there was no name attached, although underneath the address was written: These eggs were laid yesterday"
 TT wish they were laid in the gutter'' remarked Hotel Clerk Schafer, flor this thing is getting to be no joke"
 Some of the packages sent to the prince were from practical jokers, while others appeared to be meant as genu- inc presents Miss Mayme Whitaker sent a bottle of cologne, tied with q pink bow. In a note attached she told Prince Henry that he might expect a note from her tomorrow.
 A wag sent German silver match safe filled with safety matches. The hotel clerk examined the present care- fully to see that no internal machine was connected with the matches.
 An ivory handled razor was among the presents, and, although all the pic lures of thee visitor which have ap- peared would indicate that he did not use that article very often, the sender expressed the greatest solicitude lest he might enter barber shop and suffer at the hands of some anarchist who is an enemy to his government.
 One box addressed His Royal High ness Prince Henry von Prussia" con- tained an assortment of sausages. which the sender warranted were bet ter than any manufactured in the Fa- therland.
 A demijohn of rye whiskey was among the gifts, with a warning to the prince to be careful of his health and not eat too much at the banquets given in his honor. The writer informed his Highness little of the contents of the bottle taken after meals would be s good aid to digestion.
 There were wines, candy and cigars among the assortment, and when the glIts were all carried to an ante-room adjoining the princes suite the room looked like country grocery store. Some of the packages were sent by special messenger and others by ex- press. The clerks at the hotel are won- oerlng when it will stop.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
