their causes. The evil effects of careless

During my forty years practice as a
neurolosist I have probably treated more
people than any other physician in st.
Louis, but / have never found a case where

treated suffered from a general apprehension
Of danger, and were always predisposed to
such alterations. .

says to me:
Nov, doctor. don't get Off the car till
1t stops Or, Wait till the car steps before
you get on
This acts like a warning impressed upon
my mind. and I never have gotten myself
Into a tight pinch regarding street cars.
The trouble with people is they are In too
great a hurry. They jump on and of

themselves on already crowded platforms

SILENT GUN VANOUED AN ARMY AND SAVED THE KINGS
Jack. a Boy Hero, Discovered the
Wonderful Weapon by Chance
While Digging for Fish Bait.

warTEN yoz sn SUNDAY RwuB1Io

wRrTDN J0E SRE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
Once upon tms there was q little
boy named Jack. One day Jack was
digging worms for fish bait
The ground was dry and hard and he
had to. dig deep.
About foot below the surface his
spade struck an object which he sup
posed to be a chest Of treasure hidden
by some pirate, 80, quickly nIling the
hole up again, he went away. On ar
riving home he said nothing Of the dis
ooyery to his parents, but ate his sup
per-and went straight to bed to study
out some way Of securing the treasure
without being discovered
That night his mother. feeling CON
Oerned at his going to bed at such an
unusual hour, went to see II he was Ill,
and, to her surprise, she found his bed
empty. The next morning. on going to
his bedside again, she found him fast
asleep, and, not wishing to get Jack In
to trouble, she said nothing Of the oc-
currence to his father.
Night after night this same thing oc-
CURED, SO that finally his mother. be-
coming accustomed to it snd having
great confidence In him, paid little at
tention to his sctions till one morning
she found he had not returned.
Then she became greatly worried and
did not know what TO do, for she felt
that his father would blame her for not
telll.s him OF the boys actions In the
beginning.
About this time the country became
involved in a war, which ragged 50
fercely that all the men were pressed
into service, Jacks father among the
rest, and as Jack had not yet returned,
his mother was left alone.
Each day brought tidings Of defeat
and fresh disaster, and soon the invad-
ing army came sweeping over the land,
destroying everything before It The
King became , fugitive and sought
shelter in Ja4k's home, and many
gloomy hours pc spent there, for he
knew that he shSuld soon be discovered
and Jacks mothAr be executed for har.
boring him.
Soon his worst fears were realized,
for the house was surrounded by a sar-
age horde and the King and Jacks
mother dragged out to be burned at the
stake. Faggots were piled up high at
their feet and the torch about to be
applied, wien the invaders were star
tied by a sSpnd Ike heavy artillery
rumbling over be earth.
Then, rapidly Approaching, was seen

The lion quickly drew the gun be-

and Jack swung It into position, cover

the silent gun By this time the In
Vaders had regained their courage, and.
seeing Jack was alone with the gun
and supported only by the Hon, made =
fierce attack upon him with both mus
ksts and spears.
Then the earth trembled, for Jacks
gun began belchIng forth great vol
umes OF a greenlsh gas, which formed
a transparent wall around him and the
prisoners. To their dismay the savage
horde found themselves powerless, for
the wall Of gas destroyed the force OF
their bullets aud spears.
Soon the terrified invaders began to
retreat.
Then Jack quickly released his moth
er and the King. and. springing astrids

and soon drove them from the land.
In the meantime the King had re-
stored order In bis realm. ard when
Jack returned with the silent gun he
was looked upon as the greatest hero
In the land. After the festivities were
over the King invited Jack over to his
palace and asked him to explain the
mystery of the silent guu.
Jack told him Of his discovery while
digging worms; OF what he supposed
10 be hidden chest OF treasure; how
he stole from his bedchamber In the ST.
lent nights to secure it, and how on tho
last night he discovered that, instead
OF a chest Of treasure, it was the ST.
