This is really first class delusion.
You first bring before the spectators a
glass vase full Of ink. You dip ladle
into 1t and pour out some of the Ink
upon a plate in order to convince the
audience that the substance In the vase
Is really ink. You then throw a hand
kerchief over the vase and instantly
withdraw ii, when the vase is found to
be filed with pure water, In which a
couple of goldfish are swimming
This apparent lmpossibility Is per-
formed as follows: To the interior Of
the vessel is fitted black silk lining
which adheres closely to the sides
when pressed and which is drawn in
side the handkerchief during the per
Torrance of the trick. The ladle has
hollow handle with an opening into the
bowl In the handle is a spoonful or SO
OF ink which runs into the bowl when
II is held downward during the act OF
dipping IT into the vase.

Up From Humble Boyhood.

Difficulties and small beginnings
needn't discourage a boy. For instance,
one OF the most respected ministers In
New York city, man whose opinion is
asked on all the questions of the day,
who dimes with President Roosevelt and
who is invited to California and Cana
da and various places to lecture to
great crowds of people, had to leave
school and work for S1.50 week to
help take care OF his mother when he
was only nine years old.
The first trousers he and his little
brother had were made of a figured
skirt of their mothers. The boys were
too big for skirts, and yet she was too
poor to buy cloth. The clergyman, who
is white haired now, says he will never
forget the day he put on those bright
colored trousers. The design was such
a large one that only by standing side
by side so their four legs were in row
could they piece out whole figure

FOR THE CHILDREN
A blind Squirrel.

Here, Bunny, Bunny, Bunny 1t
was the day of the first snowfall Of
this season, and the woman who called
was one Of the many women who find
pleasure In going to Central park daily,
carrying with them bags of nuts with
which to feed the squirrels that find
their homes there.
AS she called there was a fash OF
gray, a whisk of a bushy tail, and there
appeared before her lively little ro-
dent with his tiny hand raised dramat-
ically to his breast. A dull, white eye
ball told the story Of sightlessness in
one eye.
You see," said the woman, turning
to an interested onlooker as the squir-
rel began feeding, you see, when these
little one eyed pets are eating they al
ways sit with the blind side toward
their benefactor while devouring the
dainty given them. Do you know why
that is?
well" she explained, throwing the
squirrel another nut, they are con-
scious that they are near friend and
need not watch her closely, so they
keep a sharp lookout on the other side
for stray dogs or other enemies"
True enough. Even as the woman
spoke one of the many dogs that take
their daily airing up and down the
walk by the West drive escaped from
its young mistress and, with its leader
dangling, made dash for the squirrel.
There was another fash Of gray, a
whisk OF bushy tail and sharp
squeak of fear as the wary little crea-
ture with the one eye darted away to
safe bough to blink and chatter and
finish his peanut in safety.
Are there many of these blind SPUR
rels in Central park" asked the on
locker of the woman, who seemed
versed In squirrel lore
"There are good many, I'm afraid.
You see, ii is the work of mischievous
boys who come here 10 the park with
slingshots, diabolical little instruments
OF wood and rubber, and deliberately
shoot out the eyes of these harmless
creatures. However, the policemen
keep a sharp lookout for such boys,
and their misdemeanors are becoming
fewer. as they have learned that park
policeman swings his stick with much
vigor."-New York Tribune.

ASSASSIN WANTS TO CONFESS.
Curtis lett Said to be Ready to
Confess and Implicate Many
Prominent Men.

Cynthiana, KY, Sept. 17.-In the
trial of Curtis Jett for the assassina-
tion of James Cockrill, at Jackson,
KY, the State began its evidence.
Thomas Cockrill, prosecuting wit
ness, made sensational statement
this afternoon. Cockrill zstated that
Curtis Jett's mother had just appealed
to him because the friends of her SON
in former trials were now deserving
her. Cockril] says Jett's mother says
her son will tell all if he is spared
from the gallows. Cockrill says ne
told her the case was now beyond his
control, and then he learned that Jett
was with difficulty prevented from
making a confession today involving
prominent people, and that he had
said he would confess all tomorrow
before he would stand trial in the
pending case, and that the only chance
now of preventing confession was IN
continuance Of the case.
Mrs. Hagins. the mother of Curtis
Jett, in appealing to Thomas Cockril.
named all the prominent people at
jackson, KY, who helped her son in
the Marcum murder trial, and said
they were now deserting him in the
Coekrill case. She reminded Thomas
CockriH that he and Curtis Jett were
first cousins; that the same blood
coursed through their veins, and her
boy was not the one responsible for
the death of his brother, Jim Cock
rill, and others. Thomas Cockriu says
he was greatly affected by the appeals
of his aunt, and he says she is telling
her boy to confess all rather than
stand trial in this case as scapegoat.
It is believed that Mrs. Hagins has
been advised by Curtis Jett to go to
his cousin, Tom, on this mission.

Mr.. HARRIS WRITES A CARD.
Defends His Position as to the Deceased
Mrs. Boyesen.

Asheville, N. c., Sept. l5.-In
commenting upon the death Of Mrs.
Annie Stewart Boyesen, which oc-
CURED last week at La Porte, Ind,
J. r. Harris, proprietor Of the White
Stone Springs hotel, at which Mrs.
Boyesen was stopping when accused
of the theft of $500 worth Of jewelry
from another guest of the hotel,
states in a communication to the
press:
..If know my own heart, nobody
would be more glad than l to estab-
lish this woman's innocence. What
I have done was entirely for the pro-
lection of my guests, and certIf1-
cate to that effect was prepared by
many prominent persons in the hotel
at the time Of the unfortunate occur
renee, and voluntarily handed to
me. I have not found any pleasure
in this affair, and I never undertook
a more unpleasant duty than that
~.hich was forced on me in the inter
viewing of Mrs. Boyesen after she
had been suspected by the guests at
White Stone Springs. 1 approached
stated to her that if she would give
me the address of any responsible
party anywhere in the United States
/ would telegraph them at my own
expense, and if the reply was favor
able to her character / would all
low her to go on her way and moth
ing would ever be said about it..
This she fatty refused to 90. / dis
tinctly told her that l did not want
any publicity given the matter for l
knew the tendency would be to in
lure her and me both. She request
ed that her trunks oe searched and
was very solicitous that we do exact
ly what was done in the searching OF
them. I have her request and full
and free agreement in writing in my
possession now. None of US would
have ever touched her property eN-
cept at her request. The guests at
the hotel must have had abundant
grounds for the suspicion which they
expressed to me, for Mrs. Boyesen
had acknowledged in the presence vi
five gentlemen that she was in other
guests rooms while they were all at
dinner"
Mr.. Harris, in concluding his
statement, declares the verdict OF
the attending physician was that
Mrs. Boyesen died of Rright's dis
ease. He is firm in declaring that
her innocence had. not been estab-
lished.

APPLES.

The apple is the classic fruit. Men
tion is made of it in the Old Testa-
ment, and it is frequently spoken of
by Homer and other Greek and Roman
writer's. The Arabian Nights gives
us some notion of the esteem in which
this fruit was held through the story
cf ssThe Three Apples,o where the
theft of one piece of fruit was the cause
of an almost endless chain of plot and
counterplot, romance and disaster.
/. The value of apples as food is not
generally appreciated at the present
time. Chemical analysis shows that
apples are rich in phosphoric acid, and
are therefore very nourishing to the
brain and nerves. The malic acid of
an apple promotes digestion, incress-
ing the flow of the gasteric Juice and
stimulating the peristaltic motion of
the stomach.
One reason, perhaps, that apples are
not more commonly served with meals
is that persons frequently get hold Of
hard varieties, not thoroughly ripe,
and suffer indigestion as result of eat
ing them. Apples as rule are more di-
gestible when cooked than when eaten
raw. Stewed apples, not too literally
sweetened, form an ideal sauce for
mutton, pork, or other meats, es-
pecially such as have considerable
proportion of fat. The apples absorb
the surplu grease and at the same
time the acid Of the fruit acts On the
liver, assisting the digestion of the
hydrocarbons in all animal food.
No. other fruit blends so well with
different meats, as do apples, whether
stewed, fried or baked. Fried apples
are excellent food, but are not quite
so digestible as the stewed or baked
variety.
The people of New England have for
many years understood the value Of
the apple as regular article of diet.
Baked apples and cream'-a typical
New England dish-is perhaps the
nearest approach to perfect food of
any combination yet devised. It It
furnishes in a very palatable form all
the elements needed in the upbuilding
and maintaining of the body, and at
the same time affords practically no
resistance to the weakest digestion.
People should eat more apples. They
would be healthier, wealthier and
wiser, because the apple feeds the
body and brain, and is a very econo-
mical food.--Atlanta Journal.

It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old me..,od Of treatment. Quinine,
Iron. ETC.. stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intcsrines and bowels, freeing

TIE VOTE ON SIDE TRACK.
City Council Considers the Haryin Street
Petition Once More.

The City Council met pursuant to
adjournment at s o'clock Thursday
night with Mayor Stuckey, Aldermen
Boyle, Chandler, Dick, W. H. Epper-
son, Finn, Hurst and Schwerin pres
ent. Alderman G. F. Epperson was
absent.
A number of citizens were present.
The minutes of meeting of 18th in
slant were read as information.
DR.. Walter Cheyne asked the priv
ilege of making statement in order
to correct an erroneous impression
which had gotten abroad by reason of
his having offered his residence prop
erty to Mr.. Bowman in case Council
did not grant the privilege of running
a railroad track across Harvin street.
He said he never has nor does he now
desire to sell, but in anticipation of
the possible grant of the petition he
had thoughtlessly approached Mr..
Bowman without having duly consid-
cred the unfayorable position in which
be would place himself. His written
statement was as follows:
g wish to make a statement to cor
rect misconception which has arisen
from my statement to Mr.. Bowman
that | was "open to proposition for
my property
"While l might have received
dozen propositions, it never was and
is not today my intention to sell my
property if the side track is not placed
there and the property is protected
from nuisances.. Mr.. Bowman may
easily have taken different view of
my prop osition. My error was an
error of Judgment in opening the mat
ter with Mr.. Bowman at all. 1t made
me liable to be misconstrued and for
that | am to blame. [ positively say
that the above statement is absolutely
true and correet.'
DR.. A. J. China and Mr.. J. R.
Ligon continued their opposition.
Messrs. W. A. Bowman and W. Il.
Ingram spoke in favor of the petition.
Alderman Chandler proposed the
following additional conditions which
were accepted by Mr.. Bowman:
l. "Track across Harvin street to be
used exclusively for hauling goods to
and from warehouse of Bowman & Co.
or their successors or for business
houses on the same block. -
?. 'No cars or engines to stop on
Haryin street. -
Mr.. Chandler then renewed his mo-
tion to grant the petition which was
seconded by Alderman Dick.
In seconding the motion Alderman
Dick said "that when this proposition
was first made he was opposed to it,
bat after inspecting the surroundings
and considering the situation from
every standpoint he had come to the
honest conclusion that it was for the
best interest of the city that the privi-
lege should be granted He believes
that while that section might be rem
dered less desirable for residences,
that enhancement of values would be
the result and nobody would be dam
aged. In addition to these reasons he
has also learned that the Sumter Tele-
phone Mfg. Co. will lay a track on
the northern side of their property.
very near DR.. Cheyne's premises and
erect saw mill, so that the people
now complaining will be subjected to
whatever annoyances may be caused
by track anyhow.
A vote on the motion resulted as
Yeas: Dick, Chandler, Hurst, and
Stuckey.
Nays: Boyle, Epperson, Finn and
Schwerin.
Council then adjourned.
