And winks at you and knowingly says

But you tako q mighty tumble

You can look men in tho eye,
Step around liko great Lord PicItax
When 1t comes your turn to buy.
Only crook your little finger
And tho waiter flies to you,
But things take a different aspect
When you haven't got q sou.
Though 1t Is the root Of evil,
Cause OF trouble. source OF woes,
Money comes In mighty handy
TO have round your Sunday clothes.
If you have tho bright spondulix
You're tho cheese beyond a doubt,
But you're littlo Willie No-one

What to Eat Stated by a Food Expert.

Not all people know that by the use
of food alone, when scientifically made
and properly selected to produce cer-
tain results, the sick can surely be
made we'll ard the well can be surely
kept well.
The subject is worth anyone's atten-
ton for health is the sure road TO
happiness and it is happiness we are
seeking, so pay attention to the kind
of food you eat and get results.
Many people stagger along if sick
but never think to change their food.
y safe sure way is to adopt the follow
ing diet which is t0othsome, palatable,
highly nutritious, and will produce re-
markable results in curing every old,
chronic case of stomach and bowel trou
bic, frequently kidney complaint, weak
eyes (Which generally come from
stomach trouble) and about nine cases
in ten of sO-called heart disease.
Good comfortable sleep will follow
the use of this diet. Breakfast: Some
cooked fruit, just a trifle of sugar, 4

HegrO's Awful Crime Quickly

The Murder of a Woman and Her

Shreveport, La. April 11.-Mrs. Aline
Matthews, aged fortyfve, wife Of
Frank Matthews, a well-known civil
engineer. was brutally murdered in her
bed early this morning by a negro.
The woman's little daughter, Aline.
aged ten, was fatally wounded. An axe

nished the motive for the crime.
Bloodhounds took up the trail, but
lost it after going a short distance. A
Kansas City Southern engineer notified
the police of the appearance of a negro
covered with blood on the tracks of
the railroad, and a posse was organized
to hunt him down. The posse separ-
ated, and Sergeants Gerald and
Rouquemore soon came upon the negro.
He made a desperate dash for a ravine,
and the officers fired four shots at him,
two of which took effect in his back,
killing him instantly. The negro's
clothing was covered with blood and
his shoes fitted the bloody foot prints
in the kitchen of the house. His name
is Ed. Porter. and he was a we'll
known Shreveport negro.
This morning at 1:3O o'clock the body
of the negro. Porter was taken by a
mob of about 100 men to the head of
Texas street, placed on funeral pyre,
and burned. There was no noise or
demonstration. The police attempted
to bury the negro's body, before the
crowd could get it, but failed. The
city has been in a state OF intense
excitement all night. but it is quiet
now.

THE PRESIDENT
IN LION COUNTRY
Reports Of His Success Are Yet to Be
Received.

Anaconda, Mont, April ia special
to the Standard from Gardiner. Mont,
says: President Roosevelt is hunting
mountain lions today on Slough creek.
In company with Major Pitcher, the
acting superintendent Of the park, and
guard of soldiers, he left Fort Vel
lowstone on Thursday morning for
Yanceys, fifteen miles east of Mann
moth hot springs, from where he went
to Slough creek. There ars more elk
and deer in this vicinity than any
other portion of the park, and wnere
the big game is most numerous there
are also to be found the most mountain
lions. The president will undoubtedly
bag a few lions, although it is not
known here whether he has secured
any as yet. He will also get plenty of
opportunity to shoot few wolves, as
there are many of the big gray fellows
in that section. The president left
Fort Yellowstone in excellent spirits.
No member of the presidents party
accompanied him to Yanceys. The trip
was not an especially difficult one, as
the soldiers broke the trail through the
Yellowstone The snow is not extreme
ly deep and no special difficulty was
experienced in reaching Yanceys.
From Yanceys. the president will prob
ably visit the lower falls. The soldiers
have broken trail there. Lower falls
is five miles up the river from Tan-
ceys. There are a great number % elk
and deer in that section also. 1t is in
the vicinity of Slough creek that Death
gulch is located, and it is understood
that the president contemplates a visit
to that strange canyon. The snow is
deep in that vicinity
