cIent worker and Mr.. Farris says that
h. was subject to spells and had oc-
ccsionally fallen in fits" but that other
wise he was aIlrigh,.
Mr. Farris states that he saw Code
eating his dinner in the engine room to-
day, and that after finishing his meal he
went upstairs to attend TO some duties
about the "conveyor' and that later he
was found dead in that section of the
building.
\ careful examination of the body OF
the dead man by physicians and Coroner

that Mr.. Code died of heart failure.

Father Thought His Daughter Was

By That Name.

The Oak Pork girl had just come homo
from her first ping-pong party. She had
never played the game before that evening.
When she entered the library her father
was folding up his newspaper, preparatory
to going to bed, relates tae Chicago Cnron-
icle.
''Do you know, papa, I discovered tonight
that l never really cared about anything be-
fore in my life" she said by way of introduce
ton: want to tell you about it,
"Yes?" said the old man, with rising in
Election on the word. He was interested,
perhaps even a little startled. His dauRh-
ter's face was serious.
II have fallen in love with ping pong"
WHAT" exclaimed pater familias. His
d1smay now was unmistakable. Just then
his wife entered the room. He turned indig-
nant eyes upon her.
"You are Z nice women!" he shouted at
her. what do you mean, madam, by bring
ing up your daughter the way you have
done. No, don't interrupt-it's matter
enough! Owing to you skil1ful management
our little girl has lost what sense she was
born with. She has fallen in love with q
Chhaman!"
Five minutes later the old gentleman was
apologizing both to his wife and his daugh-
ter. As he went off to bed, however, he
muttered under his breath:
"Plng-pong, ping-pong! That's = nice
name for camel"

out of the saloon at the alarm, and
waited only until the electric glare
was left behind. Then he opened the
door on the river side of the plung-

A CATCH IN THE BACK.

Grand View, Iowa, Sept. 2oth.-Mrs.
Lydia Parker of this place says:
II was troubled with backache all
the time for years. When I would
stoop over catch would take me in
the back and could not straighten
up for some time,
II tried every thing could think of
but got no relief till I sent and got
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
II used one box and part of another
before the trouble all left me, but now
I am we'll and strong and have not
been troubled with my back for some
months.
II believe my cure is a permanent
one and am very grateful indeed, to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for what they
have done for me-. -.
II would most heartily recommend
them to anyone suffering with lame
back, for believe they will cure any
case of this kind.

LOST BILL DOUBLED ITSELF,

He was portly and prosperous, an al
Lucrative state of affairs that seemed
to give weight to his words. There
fore, the little band gathered in front
of an uptown hotel and which had
watched with interest and laughed
with mean delight at the man who
chased his hat two blocks in one of
those sudden gales. listened with re-
spectful attention to the portly man
who had laughed louder than the 9th
ers, and who led the way to the cafe
bar, relates the New York Mail and Ex-
press.
~That hat-chasing game reminds me
of peculiar thing which happened
to me when a boy" he began. II was
brought up on a farm in this state, and
was one of those happy-go-lucky
youngsters, always in trouble, and
with happy faculty of getting out of
scrapes
One day my father gave me a five
dollar bill to. go down to the village
and buy some things for the farm.
Boy like, / started off holding the bill
by the corner and letting the wind flap
it about my fingers. There came a
sudden puff and the bill was torn
from my grasp Isaw It fly over a bush
and started OFF in hot pursuit. , It
meant recover that bill or get the
worst licking that ever a country boy
received. %N-sf@
dumping over the fence, I saw tho
bill dancing merrily along about five
feet from the ground in ten-acre
field, and nothing to. check its prog

wind would send it in another direc-

that>sounded like '.s'lgck,' and drained
his glass. The others followed suit
and waited patiently for the climax.
Gentlemen, it is hard to believe, but

looked at the cause ofmy furious chase
I found it was a ten-dollar bill that:

and the band dispersed IL silence.
