seemed to be drinking and gambling.

nervous, ambitious Americans to keep

when he uttered the word.
His little daughter was scampering

easier target for the interviewers. She
corrected one who asked her if she
was, glad to go to Skibo, saying: 'It's
Skee-bo, not Sky-bo. Don't you know
that? OF course I'm glad to go. Oh
yes, I've got a lot of dollies in the

haxen hair stood out almost straight

to the Carnegie millions danced down
the companionway and across the deck
to the group where her parents stood.

Cases.
LARGEST IN 20 YEARS

State Auditor Graham, who was
here auditing the accounts of the
county officers Thursday, completed
his duties in time to leave on the 6;l5
p. IN. train for the north.
The accounts as presented for coun-
ty court, were about $500. This
amount did not include the amounts
paid to the counsel designated by
court to appear for defendants in the
Rogers murder cases, and Sargood
and others.
The accounts of the municipal court
as audited were about $1,000. In ad-
dition to these, we're the sums paid to
attorneys, including states attorney,
sheriff's account, jailor fees etc, As
he added them, the total cost TO the
state for court and other fees was not
far from $4,000 since the last audit
ing.
1t is the largest amount audited in
the county in over 20 years. The
Rogers murder cases; together with
the Arlington poison cases; with the
necessary expenditures for jury and
witness fees, are mainly responsible
for the increased expense.

"DO Il To-day"

The time-worn injunction, "Never

today" is now generally presented in
this form: 'Do 1t today" That is the
terse advice we want to give you about
that backing cough or demoralizing
cold with which you have been strug-
Cling for several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for it to-
day-and let that remeoy be DR. Bos-
chee's German Syrup, which has been
in use for over thlrty-five years. A
few doses of it will undoubtly relieve
your cough or cold, and its continued
use for a few days will cure you COM
pletely. No matter how deep-sested
your cough, even if dread consumpt-
ion has attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect a cure-as it
has done before in thousands of APP
pareutly hopeless cases of lung
trouble. New trial bottles, 25c; regu-
lar size, T5c. At all druggists.
