ClRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE,
Remarkable Coincidence Which Would
Have Made a Bad Case for
innocent Man.

Several years ago l took a late train
from Boston to New York" said a NAV in
business in Kansas City, according to the
Star. In the morning | was awakened
earlier than usual by the porter, WAC
said that a robbery had been committed
on the sleeper during the night and that
all the passengers would have to get up.
Some one had taken six $40 bills from
the clothing of a gentleman who occupied
a berth in the middle of the car. Every
section had been taken before he left
Boston, and as the train had been almost
constantly in motion it seemed certain
that the person who had committed the
theft was still on the car. The porter
said no one had been aboard but the pas.
sengers and that none of them had lett.
1t was proposed to search everybody. A
man who had a berth directly opposite
from the one who had been robbed OBJ
jected. He told his name and said any.
one might easily find that he was a man
OF good reputation. In the meantime
some officers boarded the car and after a
little sweating got the money from the
colored porter, who was the guilty one.
Then the passenger who had refused to
be searched asked the officers to examine
his pockets. This seemed strange, but h
insisted, In an inside pocket they found
SIX 800 bills. 1t was merely a coincidence
that he should have the same amount of
money as the other passenger had lost,
and in exactly the same denominations,
but he knew that under the circumstance
he could hardly establish his innocence.
How was that for a case of circumstan!ia
evidence?

MEDICAL MATTERS.

DR.. Louis Robinson asserts that the
aquiline nose 10 not merely imposing
or ornamental, but is requisite to a
full development Of the human voice.
Warts and moles are regarded as
dangerous by q Philadelphia physi-
clan. He cites rs cases in which they
have taken on active malignant form,
and he urges an operation before
malignant disease has begun to dc.
velop.
The students In the London school
Of medicine for women were recent
ly advised by one OF their instructors,
Miss Murdoch. to avoid uncommon
forms of clothing and to do the best
to dissipate the idea that medical
women are careless about their per.
sonal attire. Those who imagine
she said, that slovenly dress is asso-
ciated in the public mind with clever.
ness are certainly under a delusion."
Tho deplorable summer waste OF
child life, especially In crowded cities,
calls for scientific attention. A recent
medical writer claims that the cpl.
demic diarrhoea that proves so fatal
may be avoided by the following pre-
cautions: ~ Clean milk nipples.
(2) Clean towns, with effective sew
age removal, dust collection and dis.
posal and street watering. (3) Clean
homes, with attention to food utensils,
covering food from dust and flies, and
personal habits. and (4) destruction
or exclusion OF flies.

FOR THOROUGHBRED SWINE.
Plea Of a Kentucky Farmer For tho
Substitution of Thoroughbred
For Razor-Back Swine.

Many farmers who raise fine horses.
cattle and sheep, still have their farms
stocked with scrubs or razor-back
hogs, c|herlshing the idea that a razor
back is the best forager and that it is
more economical to raise them than
any other variety. AS to their being
the best foragers, that is true, but the
time when men could make money out
of such stock has passed into history.
Forty years ago this country was not
so densely populated and there were
vast forests Of chestnut, oak and
beech trees. besides enough mast of
some kind or other, to keep hogs in
good condition the year round. But
now things are quite different; there
is nothing for hogs to eat except what
is fed to them by their owners and
many farseeing men in this and other
countries have bred up several breeds
Of hogs to a high standard Of perfec-
tion-hogs that will quickly respond to
the care given them. A razor-back, IL
properly cared for. can be made to

Good News for All.

Bradford, Tenn, Nov. 81 (Special)-
Scientific research shows Kidney Trouble
to be the father of SO many diseases that
news of a discovery of a sure cure for it
cannot fail to be welcomed all over the
country. And according to Mr.. j. A,
Davis of this place just such a cure is
found in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.. Davis
says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is
claimed them. They have done me more
good than anything l have ever taken,
| had Kidney Trouble very had and after
taking a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills | am completely cured. | cannot
praise them too much"
Kidney Complaint develops into
Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Diabetes, Rhpu.
matism, and other painful and fatal dis
eases. The safeguard is to cure your
kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills when
they show the first symptom of disease.

NOTES ABOUT NEEDLEWORK
Various Items of Lingerie That Are
of Interest to Women
Readers.


Taffeta, mohair and sateen continue
to reign supreme among dark under
skirts.
Silk batiste and null In white or
pale, delicate colors are used to make
very dainty, filmy corset covers.
The latest headings for the ribbons

much greater advantage than those OF
former vogue.
Drawers show a tendency toward
greater smoothness over the hip and
increased fullness above the knee,
Lace-trimmed ones are most popular,
Embroidery consisting Of a mono
gram, initials or favorite flower enters
into the decorative scheme of the most
exclusive fashionable lingerie.
The use of Powered ribbons Is no
tlceable upon negligees and lace tuck

ion by a ribbon run through beading),
The new chemises show a tendency
to much greater fullness in the middle

ornamented with real lace and fine
hand embroidery are the most desira.
bic as well as the most expensive UNI
dermuslins now la mode.
White ribbon is considered smarter
for underwear than colors. Pink and
blue come next In favor, and a few
lavender ribb0n-run garments are
seen. Some extreme styles show the
use of large ribbon bows of a much
wider width than is generally used On
corset covers.

FOR HOME

Japanese and Indian cottons, In either
old blue and white or old blue and yell
low, make both unusual and very at
tractiye as well as inexpensive cur
tains.
Pineapple silk is among the effective
autumn window %hangings. One In a
dark tone of terra Gotta, with stripes
of pale oriental yellow, is particularly
desirable.
Dwarf evergreen shrubs may replace
the Towering plants In the window for
the winter with good effect. The decided
addition of plant life may thus be re.
tained all the year round.
An ingram filling is the most practical
covering for the edges Of floors where
the floor itself is too bad to be left ex-
posed. II It is possible to stain the
edges OF the floor It Is both more salts
factory and less expensive in the end.
In buying chairs 1t is well to bear in
mind the rules laid down for the cabinet
makers themselves-simplicity, stabili-
", strength, perfection of execution, in
harmony with its object, and, last but
not least, beauty of outline.
While an entire absence OF frieze,
with just a molding in the angle Of wall
and ceiling, is correct at present, many
people object to this as looking unfin-
ished; so, as a compromise, a plain frieze
a tone lighter than the side walls is
used.
One Of the newest and most popular
ways to cover a front door panel Is with
n plain brussels net-white if the wood
work is white; ecru If the woodwork is
dark. An insertion Of lace is usually
sewed on this. Over the panel a thin
elk curtain is arranged to draw at
night.

The south, for the most part, has
only incumbered some of its chattcls.
On the other hand, from the view
point of the investor, there can be no
doubt about the attractions Of the
south as a.tield for farm mortgage in
vestments. AS Bonds and Mortgages
points out, the security Is safe-rel-
atively safer than in any other part of
the country, for there Is no other sec
ton where values put upon land are so
dispr oportionate to its earning power,
whether it Is employed in agriculture
or allowed to lie idle and grow up in
timber.
1t has often been said by shrewd OBJ
servers that II only a small percent
age of the money employed to give
the west its start-and of course the
making part of the money was placed
through the medium of farm mortgage
had been invested in the south in
stead, it. would now be the most pop
ulous, as it already is the most pros
porous section of the country. But
whatever the ultimate economic value
Of a system Of farm mortgaglng in the
south, as general as that pursued In
the west, would be, there Is no doubt
that such a course at this j%uncture OF
the south's development would prom
Use more for the section than If intro
ducel at an earlier period, before the
strides in industry and transportation
placed the southern farmer in his pres
ent position Of comparative independ-
ence respecting markets and market
prices.
The utility of the mortgage Is OF
course the same in financiering a farm
that It is in any other business under
taking; and the essential, or primary
difference, between the west and the
south has simply been the order in
which resources have been taken up
for development. In the west the farm
lands came first; in the south they
are coming last, their attractions
heightened by all that has gone be-
fore In the developments OF other
