Mrs. NJ. o. Garrett of this place has just
passed through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cerebro-
Spinal affection, and had been treated by
the best physicians, but without the slight
est improvement.
For the last twelve months two doctors
were in constant attendance, but she only
grew worse and worse, till she could not
walk, and did not have any power to move at
all.
She was so low that for the greater part
of the time she was perfectly unconscious
of what was going on about her, and her
heart-broken husband and friends were
hourly expecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope and

fresh roasted berries, and the exhil-

coffee being similar to that from the

those from tobacco using. 1t wrecks

n WOnan's Strength.
BY JESSIE LLEWELLYN.

There comes a time in the life of every girl
when she is exhorted by mother or
guardian to use woman's strength. 1t is the
day of farewell to childish things, when the old
lightsome frivolity of happy, rollicking youth
wistful and tear CLEANS behind the laughter
there. For the first time in her life she begins
to analyze people and events. and her own re-
lation to them. Her girlish, rose-colored
vision narrows to the gray light of calm ma
turity; she begins to get mental focus on life.
Then it is that the full meaning of the

which have been purchased by the
board. The other bidders We're David

only, $295, and for Labor and material,
5000. Mr.. Coulton's bid was for labor
and material. excepting the soil pipe to
be used in connection with the ventilat-
ing shaft. The board has already ex-
pended III the neighborhood of 500 for
fixtures. and it is estimoted that when
the work Will cost approXi-
mately $500. A contract was drawn
up today with Mr.. Mack, with the un-
6erstanding that the work was to be

thing finished as soon after school
opens as is possible.
Thirty-five desks were ordered pur-
chased. with which to seat the sixth
grade room at the Click school. Last
year this room was not used, as there

WILL SOON BE COMPLETED.
St. Thomas Hospital to be Entirel,
Finished in About Two Weeks.

1t is thought that in about two
weeks the new st. Thomas hospital,
which was commenced last fall, will be
entirely completed, with the possible
exception of the heating plant. This
will not hinder the building being oc-
cupied, however, which will be done as
soon as the other workmen are thru.
p. J. McCavick & Robinson, the firm
that has had the contract for the brick
stone and carpenter work, has finished
so far as the building is concerned.
There are yet TO lay several hundred
feet of cement walk on and around the
ground, which will probably take about
two weeks. The grading of the lot is
nearly completed and will be in 4
couple of days. AS soon as this is done
the walks will be commenced. The
painters are putting their last touches
on their work which they expect to en-
tirely finish by the middle of the week.
The plumbers are we'll along with their
portion OF the contract, and 1t Is
thought that in about two weeks they
also will have finished. All that re-
mains then To be done is the installing
of the heating plant. 1t is very prob
able, however. that the building will be
occupied before this is finished.

Daniel j. Landon, and Earl j.
Petit Attempt to End Lives
by Poison Route
TROUBLE AND DRINK THE CAUSE
Daniel J. Landon. Former Member of
Soldiers Home. Takes Laudanum-
Petit Told His Wife He Took Strych-
nine. But Refused Medical Aid-Both
Will Recover.

Daniel ]. Landon, of 200 South
Twelfth street, tired of life on account
of the family troubles and worry it held
for him. complicated with a drunk OF
tents OF an ounce bottle of laudanum
at about noon Sunday. and was saved
from death only by the prompt and en-
ergetic action of the physician who wss
called shortly afterwards. Landon will
recover, altho he is still quite i'll.
Earl j. Petit, n teamster, living at
2101a North Sixth street, told his Wife
Saturday night that he had admlnis-
tered cents worth of strychnine to his
interior. He then refused medical aid,
but a doctor was summoned by Mrs.
Petit. He Will also recover.
Landon, who had been up town dur
ing the morning returned home while
his wife was absent from the house,
and swallowed the poison with the evil
dent intent of ending his career. He
apparently lost heart soon after he
took the dose, for he notified his sister
iulaw, Mrs. A. $. Poole, who lives next
door, OF what he had done, and told her
that his troubles We're over, and he eX-
pected TO be in heaven. The woman,
much frightened, sought her husband,
who ran across the street to the, home
of John Kehoe to summon aid. Mr.. Ke-
hoe returned with him TO the Landon
l,n haa nf 7 h.a
house evidently in great pain, writhing
upon the bed. A doctor was summoned
by telephone, and he arrived none too
soon as the man had already lost con-
sciousness, and his eyes were set In
fixed and stony gaze. After an hour of
heroic treatment he was brought back
to his senses, and although still Ill from
the effects of the drug. will doubtless
recover. Before he became supplied he
told the neighbors what he had done,
and said it was on account of the worry
caused by family troubles and the pro-
longed illness of his daughter, Mrs.
Earl Mcdonald. who lives at 206 Mar
ket street. He also stated TO the doctor
that he would yet accomplish his pur-
pose. The daughter is extremely low,
and it is believed TO a certain extent
that the worrying over her condition
has affected the fathers mind.
When Mrs Landon was seen she said
her husband had been drinking quite
heavily for the past few days, and she
thought this had something to do with
his desire to die. She also told OF her
daughters illness, and knew that her
husband had worried great deal on
that account during the past few days
| Landon is q man 5S years old, and,
up to few years ago, was member
of the Soldiers Home, from which he
took his discharge. Besides the wife
and daughter, Mrs. Mcdonald, he has
another daughter, Mrs. VIII Bennett,
living in the city.

Earl j. Petit, supposed victim OF

Gated Saturday evening went to his
home at 2101a North Sixth street, and
badly frightened his wife by telling her
that he had taken cents worth of
strychnine. The woman, almost frantic
with terror at the thought of his deed,
had sufficient GOODNESS, however, to run
at once to nearby telephone and
summon medical aid. The doctor, who
arrived shortly afterwards. found Petit
on his hands and knees In the house,
evidently in great pain as he was moan
ing piteously, and relieving his stomach
by vomiting. When Petit became
aware of the physicians presence he
became wrathful, and refused to re-
ceive any medical aid whatever. AS he
would not allow the doctor to attempt
to aid him in any way the latter left
the house. 1t is not known whether
the man had been simply telling a
drunken lie, or had really taken the
poison he said he had If he did the
doctor is of the opinion that the amount
was so small that it made him sick
