Some Amusing Experiences Of News
p@p@f SOrIesp1a4sals FaT-Time.
During the Spanish.America
war the signal corps which was in
charge Of all telegraph service at
the front had some amusing expe-
riences with the newspaper men,
among whom were some of the
~eleyerest, most wide-awake men
in American journalism. The re-
porters tried all possible means
of getting forbidden Information
through the telegraph office. Yet
Gen. A. w. Greedy, who writes Of
the signal-cOrps in Century
magazine, says that the newspa.
per men were not only men of abil-
ity and discretion, but also men of
scrupulOus honor and cOnsiderate
department. The stories he tells
at their expense are humorous and
show that they played the game
with good nature on both sides.
They tried many times to send
secret information to their news.
papers by means of a privately
concerted code, so Incorporated in
the text of a message that the real
message was concealed. Practice
with words had made them mas.
ter OF the art Of saying things that
looked innocent on the surface,
but which contained important
news.
There were many passages at
arms between correspondents and
the censor at Key West. Among
the kinds of information prohibit.
ed was that relating to the initial
stages of naval or military oper.
ations. When SIMPSONS fleet left
Key West every effort was made
to keep the fact hidden. The news
paper men presented to the oper
at0r many messages intended to
convey to their journals this i'm
portant Information, but the oper-
ators simply put the dispatches in
the waste-basket. It was the rule
that rejected messages should NOT
be returned to the sender, and
that the sender should not be in
formed of their failure to be deliv-
cred. This led to one amusing in
cident.
A message was received which
read; Newspaper feet has sailed
to the eastward"
Several hours later the sender
fled another dispatch, sayings:
"Strike out first word in my last
HessdSe.
This trick was too much for the
censor, Col. James Allen, who.
contrary to rule, handed back the
message and said to the reporter:
''The first one did not 60"
When the correspondent asked F.
Col. Allen replied: Because ,
all fleets look alike to me-" !
Another correspondent tried to :
send to his editor the news that
feet had shelled San
Juan. He wrapped it up in a ram

Islands, and that his

KING OF AUSTRIA

his long life. He continues, however,

"This was the that excuse Sam Dupree
gave in police court this morning when
he was arraigned on the charge of be-
ing drunk and disorderly. The specific
offense charged was insult offered to
women In the interurban depot yester-
day." says the Seattle Times.
"Dupree was very drunk, Officer Helms
said. In the depot he accosted several
women and forcibly grabbed their
hands, insisting that he desired to read
their palms. Several of them, in fear
of harm if they refused Dupree, held
out their hands while he ran through
a rigamarole of nothing. Dupree went
out on the streets and continued his
practices. The officer on the beat
wouldn't stand for it and he went to
Jail.
"The prisoner wanted to read City
Attorney De Bruler's hand, but Judge
Simon put stop to that by ordering
the prisoner confined in Jail for two
days.

the palm of one Of the officers stationed

ing he was committed to the asylum.
The asylum officials informed a report
er that he was what is called an. cal
coholic," and that when sober was a
refined and intelligent man who had
evidently been well educated and that
on his own information his residence
was Seattle, where he has a wife and
two daughters, the latter being in
school at present. He claimed to be a
phrenologist, mindreader, psychologist,
hypnotist, and palmist of 81 years ex-
perience. After he was released from
the asylum as cured he went to Port
land, where he proceeded to get drunk
and into the police court again, and
when arraigned before Judge Hogue he
calmly offered to cast his horoscope.
Which kind offer( it is rumored, was
not accepted. During his spells of palm
istry Dupree claims to have read the
hands of every notable in the country
for the last 27 years and although
many of his clients are now dead, few
are yet living.

JOY.
z<rs. De Long Finds that the Indescrib.
able Pains of Rheumatism Can Be
Cured Through the Blood.

Mrs. De Longs recovery from rheu
matism has aroused considerable inter
est because it occurred as the result OF
an Independent course Of treatment
which she pursued in accordance with
a theory Of her own. When interviewed
on the subject of her illness, Mrs. De
Long said;
~ was in bed half Of the time, suf-
fering from pain that cannot be de-
seribed to one who has never had
rheumatism. 1t would concentrate
sometimes in one set of joints.
"Just what do you meant"
"Why, sometimes it would be alto
gether in my feet and then / could not
walk. At another time it would be all
in my elbows and wrists, and then /
eonld not even draw the coverlets over
my body. Whether the pain was in my
ankles, knees and hips, or in my wrists
and elbows, ii caused me extreme suf-
fering. The doctor gave me no relief
and l finally decided to get on without
him"
"Yours was a hard condition to face
without the aid of doctor. What did
you do3"
81 did a great deal of thinking, you
may. be sure. / happened to have a
brotherin-law who had used DIR. Will
liam Is Pink Pills and who was a per-
feet enthusiast on their value as a puri-
fer Of the blood. What he had said
came often TO my mind in connection
with the thought that rheumatism is a
disease of the blood. | concluded that
IL DIR. Williams' Pink Pills are so good
for the condition Of the blood in gem
eral, they must be good for rheumatism
too.
GAS my sufferines continued unre-
lieved IL was necessary for me to do
something so | decided to give DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills trial, and to see
whether they would not drive the mis-
chief out of my blood"
"How did the experiment turn
QUIT"
"It was complete success. Two
weeks after | began TO use DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, they showed what
they were capable Of doing by giving
mo the very first relief had found in
eli my illness. l kept on using them
until was entirely well. "
"How long was thatW
81 was really cured by the time
had taken six boxes, but 10 make per-
fectly sure, continued to use them for
about two weeks longer and then
stopped altogether. The benefit has
lasted and for several years l have had
no occasion TO use them for myself but
/ am constantly recommending them TO
others."

experience with DIR, Williams Pink
