There seems to be question in the minds of King Edwards physicians, notwithstanding reports to the con trary, whether he will be able to go through the ceremony of coronation. The King is in a bad way, and even though he rallies now it will be only for a short time. ''The relief is and can be only temporary" asserts one of the kings physicians. 'In few months there is likely to be the neces- sity for another operation, perhaps sooner. Before long it will be beyond the power of an operation to help him''

The difficulties which confront wo- mems conventions are as numerous as they are pathetic.

A SUMMER R-TIME STOVE.

A wonderful contrivance which turns air of temperature of 100 de- grees in an instant to a temperature which is below the freezing point, and operated by no power save the air itself, stands in room at the head quarters of the United States Wealth CT bureau at Washington. The invent or, Willis l.. Moore, chief of the wealth CT bureau, is glad to allow anybody that calls to look at it and feel the deli cious cool air it gives off. In a few weeks more the foreign patents that are now pending will have been se- cured and the public will be welcome to examine the interior as well as the exterior of the machine that promises to become factor of no mean inn portance in furnishing not only com fort to humanity in general, but aid to the manufacturing world where room temperature is an item in the protec- tion of goods. The gravity cooler not only puts cool air into room, but makes it pure and dry. A dust storm may be raging outside and the parti- cles be taken in through the receiving pipe, but the air will come forth per fectly pure. Actual experiments have proved time and time again that the air comes out drier than 1t goes in.-- A. E. Johnson in Everybody's Nigga zine.

We can do it because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for a good while-ba- cause we have studied 1t. and thought about it, and worked hard as any painter ever did. 1t requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent, to make good laundry as to make good picture Everybody can't paint a pie ture- everybody can't wash clothes per fectly.

afternoon to learn of the death of
Mrs. Harriet Harden Vining, wife of
Mr.. E. e. Vining, which occurred
shortly before o'clock. Mrs. Vining
had been i'll several weeks, and few
days ago her condition became so Sc
rious that consultation of physicians
was necessary. She rallied, however,
and strong hopes were entertained for
her recovery, when today she had a
sudden collapse, dying in a few mo-
ments. She was unconscious when
she died, the end coming peacefully
and painlessly.
Her death is a peculiarly sad one.
Mrs. Vining was an unusually bright
woman, and besides her immediate
family leaves a large circle of friends
to mourn her loss. She is survived by
her husband, a little daughter, Iris
Ethel; her mother, Mrs. Sullivan, and
sister residing In Georgia. The en-
tire community mourns with them in
their loss.
The funeral services will take place
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock at the
family residence, the Rev. J. G. zHor-
ton of Trinity Church officiating. The
interment will be at Cedar Hill.
