A Pathetic Funeral.

There is a rather pathetic story
in the funeral services which
were held at Van Metres funeral
parlors last night over the body
of Miss Josie Pryor. The lady
died last April after a very short
Illness and it was only the other
day that financial arrangements
could be made for the remains to
be taken to her former home at
Fremont, Ohio.
Miss Pryor was an adopted sis
ter of Mrs. Annie r. 1ngles who
was employed here at the time.
When the death occurred there
was not sufficient money to take
the body home and Mrs. Ingles
decided to have the body en-
balmed until she had made
enough to take it home. 1t was
kept at Van Metres until last
night when the funeral services
were held and tomorrow morning
will be taken home.-Oolumb bia

ter of that city, and Diller b.
Croft of this city, all of whom
were convicted of conspiracy
against the government in con-
nection with the supply of the
Croft fasteners to the postotlice
department, today were sentenced
by Judge Pritchard to two years
imprisonment in the Moundsville,
w. Va, penitentiary and a fine
of $4,000 each. The defendants
Immediately gave notice of ap
peal to the court of appeals and
wSre released on $4,000 bond
each. Samuel A. Croft was not
sentenced, his motion for a new
trial, and for arrest of judgment
being allowed further considera
ton.
The sentence imposed on
Machen, Lorenz and Diller Croft
is the maXimum allowed under
the law. Ths appeals to the
upper court will be pressed as
rapidly as possible, according to
the defense, but months may
elapse before the appeals can be
heard.
The prosecution asked the i'm
position of the full penalty on
each count, the adoption of which
proposition, it was pointed out,
would involve a total of "a years
imprisonment, and a fine of$120,
900. The defense characterized
this as an outrageous and absurd
proposition, arguing that as there
had been but one offense alleged
in the whole Indictment the
court had no power to impose the
penalty on more than one of the
counts. Judge Pritchard stated
that he was satisfied that the YER
dict of the Jury was correct but
he did not know whether the i'm
position of penalty in a single
count would be heavy enough.
He decided this question after
recess, holding that he would i'm.
pose a penalty under only one
count. The prisoners then stood
up for sentence. Machen was
first called. When the couIt
sentenced him Machen's eyes
filled, and he trembled slightly
as he resumed his seat. Then he
clasped his hands and sat staring
ahead of him and the two others
were given the same sentence.

Remedy for Anncndicitia.

London Doctor: German medical
journals are recommending a new n
peculiar remedy for appendicitis. thu
employment OF which. 1t is declared
will obviate the necessity for the use
OF the knife in the great majority OF
cases. This remedy consists Inv walking
on all fours 30 minutes four times a.
day. A contemporary states that this
method is not only original. but almost
aboriginal. However his may be, the
method is certainly worthy OF consid-
Grafton. This method of treatment
operates by strengthening the abdom-
inal muscles. When the muscles
have relaxed, the bowels become dis
placed, ~congested and diseased; the
disease extends to the appendix, and
thus an Inflammation Is produced. 1t is
claimed that a well-knowH German
diplomat has been recently cured OF
chronic appendicitis by this method.

than he began to cut teeth and, being
s % weak, he was frequently thrown

mother.
II decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City<for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when l reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although
had never used the food, we got some,
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were 0 o feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts itself. and in
a wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong and well.
That showed me something worth
knowing anu, when later on my girl
came. I raised her on Grape-Nuts, and
she is a strong. healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little

Whom STAMPS Were New.

Galveston Tribune: When postag.
sta-,ps first came into use." said a vet
eran postal clerk, ''the public sidn't know
how to handle them. You remember how,
when tea and coffee first appeared among
us, tho people fried the tea leaves and the
coffee berries and served them with salt
and pepper? Well. tAe people treated their
stamps as absurdly in 1854.
Some folks would put their stamps in
side their letters, out Of sight. Here is
the official notice that we issued TO stop
that practice"
The clerk took from the drawer an aged
bulletin thatfsaid:
THE stamps upon all letters and pack
ages must be affixed on the OUTSIDE
thereof, and above the address thereon"
He put pack his bulletin and drew forth
another one.
People would pin the stamps on their
letters. instead of cumming them" he
said, "and when they did gum them, they
% not do ii right. Hence this second
bulletin" and he read:
Persons posting letters should affx
the requisite number of stamps previous
to depositing them in the letter receivers,
as when posted in a damp state the
stamps are liable to rub off and thereby
cause the letters to be treated as unpaid.
Dc not pin on the stamps
"Still," said the clerk, 'the public didn't
understand. Think of tilt didn't under
stand the simple matter OF sticking a post
age stamp on a letter. So we got out a
third bulletin"
The third bulletin, in big, impatient let
tiers, said:
"The simplest and most effectual meth
cd of causing stamps to adhere firmly is,
first to moisten well the outside of the
stamps and afterwards the ganrmed side
slightly, taking care not to remove the
gum"
The clerk said that a philatelist had Of
fered him s12 apiece for these three queer
bulletins.

A shelf one foot wide was set above
the clapboard wainscot, and a row
OF small potted palms placed upon it.
AS a d1nlng-room this porch was a
great success. 1t gave one the feeling
OF dining al fresco without any of the
d1scomtortS usually attendant, for
when the windows were slid back the
wire netting was in place.
This porch practically gave to the
family more than another room,
as the former dining-room was
turned into the living room, and the
kitchen was furnished up and used as
temporary dining-room during the
cold weather. The old sitting-room
became the new guest chamber, and
the front end of the porch, enclosed
only by its clustering vines, made an
inviting reception room.
The house was reprinted a good
shade of dark green, the trim and the
pillars being of deep cream color. An
art square, in shades of green and tan
color, covered the floor. Comfortable
rocking chairs and a work table. to-
gether with so-called hammock

attractive, hospitable little porch.
Hammock chairs, by the way, are we'll
worth considering. They only cost

can be converted into chairs suitable

down the middle had been removed
