DYING SUDDENLY.
Some of the Causes That Are Tak-
 ing People Off.
Inactivity and Lack of Proper Exer- else Responsible for More Deaths Than the Dread
 ed Smallpox.

In almost every daily paper are to be seen several announcements that somebody has died suddenly. These sudden deaths are more liable to be men than women. MT, sSo-and-So fell dead on the street or in his office while writing letters or. preparing a sermon or doing something, or other. Found dead in his room" is becoming very common headline. Generally some thing is said about the heart. Some vague insinuation that the heart was not acting properly, but, as a rule, no explanation which is really rational is furnished, says Medical Talk for the Home.
 They have become 8 serious matter ---these sudden deaths have. What is the trouble with our men-strennous business nen-that they are falling .F dead like, flies fihhS frosty weather? Is it the strenuous life they. live? Is it the late. hours and midnight suppers they are indulgings in? Is. it the cig- arettes they are smoking? The whisky they are drinking2 Is it the want of | physical exercise? Or is it all of these combined?
 1t is a wellknown fact that the heart is muscle. If the muscles of the body are allowed to become faibby, the heart also becomes fabby. A fiabby heart may be trusted to pump the blood through the system ordinarily, but a sudden fright or emergency, sudden expenditure of energy, as in running up steps, or any unusual exercise, is l. 6a hlcA 40 X l., denly stops and the man falls dead.

 Colonel Geraldine fell upon his knees.

Conversation DroKe out again almost at once. The players relaxed their rig i'd attitudes and began to rise from the table and stroll back by twos and threes into the smoking room. The president stretched his arms and yawned, like man who has finished his days work. But Mr. Malthus sat in his place, with his head in his hands and his hands up on the table, drunk and motionless. thing stricken down.
 The prince and Geraldine made their escape at once. In the cold night air their horror of what they had witnessed was redoubled.
 "Alas,'' cried the prince, ito be bound by an oath in such matter; te allow this wholesale trade in murder to be continued with profit and impu- nity! If I but dared to forfeit my pledge?
 sThat is impossible for your high ness,'' replied the colonel. "whose hon. or is the honor of Bohemia, but dare, and may with propriety, forfeit mine"

 q receive your highness' commands" replied the colonel. "Shall we go from this accursed srot?"
 .'Yes," said the prince. "Call cab, fin heavens name, and let me try to forget in slumber the memory or this nights disgrace"
 But it was noticeable that he care fully read the name of the court before he left it.
 The next morning, as soon as the prince was stirring, Colonel Geraldine brought him daily newspaper, with the following paragraph marked:

 The president was somewhat affected by these compliments from one of his highness' superior bearing. He ac- knowledged them almost with humil. 1ty.
 ''Poor Malthyr' he added. 'I shall hardly know the club without him The most of my patrons are boys, sir and poetical boys, who are not much company for me. Not but what Nal thy had some poetry, too, but it was of a kind that could understand

"Ht struck me as a man of very origina disposition" The young man of the cream tarts was in the room, but painfully de pressed and silent.

 Number 29 tossed her locks out of her eyes with that impatient gesture peculiar to petulant natures.
 Naughty and proud under the unmis- takable admiration of every hash-de- vouring clerk in the restaurant, she glared scornfully into the far-away realms of space beyond the pie coun- ter.

Death of Robert j. kimball.

The state of Vermont has lost one of
her most loyal and devoted sons and
thousand men and women have lost
generous, warm-hearted friend in the
death of Col. Robert j, Kimball, which
took place at his home in Brooklyn, \.
y. last Saturday. The news of Col.
Kmbals death came as great shock
to his Vermont friends. For the last
three months he and Mrs. Kimball had
been a their summer home in Randolph.
They went there July LIST, hoping to com
plete Mrs KimbaIls recovery from
severe illness which she suffered last
winter. They returned to Brooklyn last
Friday. and Col. Kimballs death oc-
CURED suddenly on the evening of the
following day.
Robert jackson Kimball was born in
Randolph in February 1896. His grand
father was a soldier of the Revolution,
and a pioneer settler of Randolph. For
more than a century the old homestead
has remained in the Kimball family. and
it was here that the grandson, when
time and means permitted. built his
summer home, resumed Vermont citizen
ship, and in the active, helpful way pecu-
liar to himself identified himself with
| the interests of the town and state
Col. Kimballs education was such as
| the common schools afforded. He be-
! gan life " as a railroad newsboy, learned
| telegraphy, was for a time in the eX-
press service, and in 1862 established him
self as a banker in Toronto, Canada. In
1864 he was appointed United States con-
sui at that city. The following year he
| ,,,lya nd hrn nlgaF
in New York city, under the firm name
of r. j. Kimball 4 Co., and continued
that business until the beginning of the
present year. when he resigned active
work to his son, w. Eugene Kimball.
The fibre of the man is shown by the fact
that in the great decline in values in lSI2
Col. Kimballs firm went down. Within
a day or two he made a full settlement
with his creditors for 25 cents on the dol
lar. Nine years later all were summoned
to a banquet, when each creditor found
under his plate a check for the remain
der of his debt with six per cent inter
est for the full time it had been unpaid.
| Col. Kmball was a member of Gov.
| Dillinghams staff, and represented the
town of Randolph in the legislature of
| 1901 BY appointment he had represent
ed the state and the Republican party on
several important occasions. To his ma
tive town he gave the Kimball library
building, which was finished and dedi-
Gated early in the present year No man
could form the acquaintance of Col. Kim
ball without discovering how genuine
was his feeling as a Vermonter, and how
| warm and earnest was his interest in
| everything that pertained to the we'll
being and good name of the state. He
had prospered in business and his bene-
factions in Vermont and elsewhere had
been many, but the best quality of the
man was discovered in his own healthy
hearty whole-souled personality. He was
67 years old but physically and mentally
he has been cut down in his very prime
Besides the son already mentioned, Col
Kimball is survived by his wife and two
daughters.
