Trivial Accident Caused Death.

The Anderson Mail says the wife OF
David Dooley, the well-knOwn cOlorcd
blacksmith, died Monday morning
under very peculiar circumstances
death resulting from blood poisoning
caused by a fish bone which penctrat-
ed her hand about two weeks ago. No
attention was paid to the trivial ac-
cident at the time the bone became
embedded in the flesh, but within a
few days the hand became very in
fammed, with the discooration OF
the tissues surrounding the wound
which accompanies blood poisoning.

Believes in Divorces.

William Tell Tolson, one of the
"ealGhiest men In Wolfe county. XIV.
mas just filed suit for divorce from his
sixth wife. He alleges incompatabili-
ty, born OF differences over Nos. /. 2.
5 and 4. No. 5 is dead, 3ut it is said
that even she figured in the strenuous
debates between the party of the first
part and No. Il. Tolson is 81 years
ola and was not married until he
reached the age Of thirty. All his
wives were regarded by the neiphbors
as estlmable women, but only one ever
sued him for divorce, and he helped
her' TO get 1t. The Others were sued
10y him and they helped him to unite
the tangle. After the divorces had
been granted, his former wives and
robson were great friends, and when
another wife would be taken the ex.
wives were invited and were present
at the ceremony and the subsequent
least. Tolson gave them what was
regarded as an elegant home as their
turns came as Mrs. Tolson, but 1t did
not take each wife and her husband
long to weary Of the bond, and with
no hard feeling the divorces followed.
No children were ever born to become
entangled in the complication.

ADVICE TO THE IRISH.
Noted cIersymen Advise Young Men
to STAY In Ireland

to Stay In ireland.
Cardinal Gibbons and other Catholic
clergymen have written letters to the
Irish immigration Society of London.
urging the Irish to remain in Ireland.
and not emigrate to the United States.
The Cardinal states: II know under
what circumstances we live in
America. My advice TO the young men
and women of ireland is TO endeavor
to find livelihood In their own land.
Ireland is blessed with a delightful eli
mate. where the great extremes OF
heat and cold are unknown. whereas
In the United States these extremes
are very serious drawbacks. Any man
OF woman who could exc out a liveli'
hood at home should take my advice
and stay there Instead of emigrating
to America TO enter on the keen
struggle for existence under the trying
circumstances that are in progress
here"

fees are occupied. and even a smart
young Irishman coming here has great
difficulty in finding a position. and II

home in Ireland. the land of your
birth. You will find plenty there for
your energies to do"
John Redmond says: 81 have seen

A Case Where the Taking Of Morphine

terrible; It would be impossible to
describe il. During the last three
years | had commissions from which
the only relief was the use of NOR
phine.
II had several physicians. nearly
all OF whom advised me to stop drink
ing tea and coffee. but as could take
only liquid foods l felt | could not
live without coffee. continued drink
ing it until | became almost insane.
my mind was affected, while my whole
nervous system was complete

thirst and as water would only make
me sick | kept on trying different
drinks until friend asked me to try
Postum Food Coffee.

fore ! was benefited by the change.
my system was so filled with coffee
poison. 1t was not long. however, be-
fore / could eat all kinds of foods and

which my system demands. 1t is now
s years have drank nothing but Pos
tum for breakfast and supper and the
result has been that in place OF being

healthy.
Il have very delicate daughter
who has been greatly benefited by
drinking Postum, also strong boy.
who would rather go without food for
his breakfast than his Postum. So
much depends on the proper cooking
of Postum for unless it is boiled the
proper length of time people will be
disappointed in 1t. Those In the habit

trouble from my kidneys FOR the past
ten years. II was caused by strain

as | neglected the trouble it became
worse and worse until any strain or a
slight cold was sure TO be followed
by severe pain across my back. Then
the action of the kidney secretions be-
came deranged and was caused much
annoyance besides loss of sleep.
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to
my notice and after taking them a
short time their good effect was ap-

Il had this acid trouble myself for

other times scant. but the acid was
always my greatest trouble. Medicine
failed to cure me till at last | heard
