diamonds I think that is a good name
for it. What do you think?
If | was to offer a diamond, or million
gallons of smoke. you would surely take
the diamond. Wouldn't you?
What is their comparative worth?
don't mean in money, but in what they
could do of real use.
A diamond looks pretty on q lady's
finger. IN a breastpin and d circle Of
diamonds is very beautiful as an orna-
ment woven into a ladys hair, but that
is about all. If l had one 1 would not
wear it and would be obliged to give
It or sell ii to some one. That is all about
there is in diamond. What about the
smoke We think this: That in 5000
years al least man has been living on
earth he has been building fires, the
smoke has been going up IT could not
go above few miles high and it seems
that in so long time the whole air
would be filed with smoke. But look out
any bright morning and you VIII see
that it is not. what has become of 1t?
Scientific men might differ from us. but
we are thinking for ourselves, not them.
and we are just as apt TO be right as
they are What has become of the smoke?
We see il go up. when il gets some
what scattered about, the air says: III
| let this smoke stay here ] will always
be dark the shining sun cannot be seen.
So the oxygen Of the air gets mixed with
the smoke and thus forms carbonic acid
gas. But that is 50 heavy that 1t cannot
stay nigh up and it comes down to earth
Just as soon as II comes down, the trees
and grass and flowers say. why, that
is something we want" SO they open
their millions and millions Of mouths
in the leaves and drink in the carbonio
acid gas Then they say, Now we have
got the carbon cut of this to make The
wood in our bodies We don't want tho
oxygen. so they breathe that out ana
that is what We must have to live so

SAT RIGID PHAETON.
A Faithful Horse Takes Paralyzeo
Driver Safely Home.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 19-Suffering
from stroke of paralysis. which came
upon him while he was driving in a light
phaeton, c. 2. Staub, a retired liVeryman.
living at 1923 Windsor street, had terrible
experience today. The good sense of his
faithful old horse. which seemed to realize
his masters condition, probably saved him
from being crushed in the down town
streets. Partially conscious, yet unable to
call or beckon for help, Staub sat rigid in
his seat, one hand tightly grasping the
reins. He had headed for the heart of the
business section when the stroke fell upon
him.
The horse. unchecked kept on his way
but as If guided by some instinct it lodged
in and out between the trucks, express
wagons and street cars, and made for the
big viaduct over the railroad tracks at
Virginia avenue. At the top of the viaduct
the horse stopped, as if expecting some
word from the driver but Staub was help
less. The horse then turned slowly and
started to retrace it's steps. People who
had seen the rig stop the top of the
viaduct and the horses strange actions
looked closely at Staub, but he was sitting
straight up, holding the reins, they
passed on
After lodging through another mass Of
wagons and cars the horse drew up in
front of Germania hall, where a number
Of men, who had been watching his n.ove-
ments. investigated and soon learned
Staub's condition The reins were taken
from the stricken hands and the rig was
driven to the city dispensary, where Staub
received attention. In a short time he re-
covered sufficiently to be taken home, but
he is in serious condition.

HIS MONEY GOT AWAY.
Under the Pillow at Bed Time, Miss
ing at Daylight.

Salt Lake City, Utah. Aug. 19.-Captain
Thomas Phelps aide-de-camp to the de-
partment G. A. R. commander of Ohio
mad an experience with his roll of 1920 in
greenbacks that he will tell around the
camptres' of the future.
Captain Phelps halls from Salem, Ohio
He is enroute to the San Francisco re-
union and put up I'm local hotel. Before
retiring he placed his roll of bills under
MS pillow and was soon in dreamland.
Early in the morning the Ohioan was
awakened by noise in the room. He felt
under his pillow and his hand touched
what appeared to be his roll and hen he
resumed his slumber. When Capt. Phelps
arose he again ran his hand under the
pillow and found that the roll had mys-
teriously disappeared. He was greatly ex-
ercised and hied himself to the police sta
ton. Two detectives returned with him to
the house and an investiga ton was made.
Absolutely no clew could be found. The
search was on the point of being ADAM
doned when one detective noticed a high
place in the carpet. He at once pulled
out the tacks. and there was the roll,
just 1920 the full amount.
Captain Phelps was mystified and so
were the detectives. Finally the detectives
decided that a gust of wind had blown
the money under the carpet, but who
pulled out the lacks and again drove them
in puzzled them. AS for the girl who
cleaned the rooms she was not arrested.
She said she believed that the captain
put 1t there in his sleep.

THE SUMMER GIRL

People rave over the summer girl. This
is because the summer girl is the healthi-
est and therefore the most magnetic of
all girls. Air, sunshine and exercise
have quickened and clarified her blood
and her whole organism is alive with
energy.
Energy animation makes people
charming. and this may be traced to pure
blood and those factors so essential to
it's production-air, sunshine, exercise.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

John H. Havlin and William Caren are
to be given credit for the strength of the
cast they have engaged for THE Stain of
Guilt which will be seen here for the
first time at the new Crawford Sunday.
The play is new and is staged with detail
in each of its four acts. Rachel Acton
has a unique creation in the heroine who
is at first supposed, to be an Italian street
singer and who is later found to be the
daughter of a rich banker stolen in her
infancy. The detective who figures prom
inenuy from the beginning of the first act,
is outside of the usual stage character and
is given an intelligent conception by Oscar
Dane. Several other characters are
brought into almost equal prominence.
From the rise of the curtain on the
Ridgeville. Ind. depot to the final scene in
the old hotel on Christmas eve. "A Mil
lionaire Tramp is claimed to be sue
cession of surprises Not the slightest
item is overlooked from the roaring of
the train wheels or the tolling of the bells
in the church scene to the faint sound of
the old clock striking the hour of midnight
at the finish of the play With all its CON-
plete detail the author has not forgotten
that the public likes to laugh. 1t will be
seen at the new Crawford Tuesday night.
