Can Man Live on Air

A Chicago scientist holds out the
best, if not the only hope to get the bet
ter of the beef trust. He insists that he
has discovered a method of living on air
alone. All you have to do is to quit
eating and learn to breathe properly.
If we can do these two things we will
be alright. But can we? There's the
rub. AS proof that he has solved the
problem the Chicago genius ''makes
profer' of himself, as the lawyers would
say. He declares that he has eaten
nothing for month, and though he
has fallen off from 245 to 1 Is pounds, is
as strong as before the beginning of his
fast. The dict during this trial month
consisted of hot water with an infusion
of rose and elderberry leaves, but the
main substance for solid food came
through his breathing apparatus. Thus
is possibility unfolded of getting
around the chief problem of life. If it
is no longer necessary to work for food
the rest would seem easy. When the
ove-sick girl protested to her sweet
heart that she was willing to live on
bread and water for his sake, he replied
cautiously that if she would furnish the
bread he would skirmish around and
try to get the water. But under the
new arrangement even water appears
to be a superAuity. Only air is neces-
sary to make one healthy and wealthy,
if not wise. All the nutriment needed
is in the atmosphere, and it is only nee
essary to train the nose and lungs how
to extract it and there you are.-Amer
lean Farmer.

QUESTION WHICH DIED FIRST
Vital in Determining Payment of
Woodmen Claim

Upon the answer TO the question
whether Samuel \. Muir, formerly of
Peoria. and who was killed i'm the Iro-
quois theatre horror al Chicago Dec
80. 1903. or his wife died first, depends
the disposition of $4,000 insurance car
ried by Mr.. Muir.
Both husband and wife met their
death in the horrible disaster which
overlook some GOO persons on that
eventual day. Mr.. Muir carried insur-
ance to the amount of $4,000 in the
Modern Woodmen. and the order has
filed a bill in interpleader in the cir
cult court of Cook county to ask the
court to decide whether the money
shall be paid to the relatives of Mr.
Muir or those of his wife. The couple
left no children and no direct heirs
Administrators were appointed for the
estate of both Muir and his wife and
each has made a demand for the mon
ey. If Muir died first his wifes rela-
tives get the money If his wife died
first his relatives get the money.

forced TO confess that she had gotten
the correct steer. Like a dutifui hus-
band ne once more gave his word that
F, he was done. She believed him. He
really believed himself.
| But one afternoon during the pres
T, ent week he ran into the same old
bunch of his buddieS. Some one sus-
geSted a session. John protested; but
when his friends all agreed that the
playing would cease at given time. so
that all could be home TO have their
feet under the dinner table, John fell
once more.
Along towards o'clock there was a
violent knock at the door of the room
where the separation process was I'M
der way The man who nurses the
kitty answered. and a determined
looking woman who seemed TO have
blood in her eve asked that John be
called to the hallway John grew
nervous. He was told that there was
a woman waiting for him. He whisper
ed an inquiry as to who il was. but the
man who responded could not post
him. John could just barely hold his
legs in place. he was SO shaky when
he reached for the door knob. He
never had chance even TO pay the
customary Salutation, for no sooner
did his face peer through the door than
he received a jolt on the jaw that sent
him Keeling To the carpet. John plead
ed in subdued tones for his wife not
to create 2 scene: that they were not
far from the business streets. and that
there would be a scandal if she persist
ed in her apparent determination to
decorate his physiognomy But John
had not uttered more than a half dozen
words, during the while regaining his
pedals, when he drew another blow
and again he was sent reeling. Dur
ing this operation of his wife said
few things.
The men at the gaming table closed
through the transom. John was not
asked by his wife TO give another
promise TO remain away from the gam
ing table. He knows what to expect
if he weakens another time. John and
his wife had dinner together that night
and every night since. His wife knows
now where she can locate him by tele-
phone at any hour of the day from his
departure for the office in the morning
until his return in evening for dinner.
John now turns his head at the sight
of a deck of cards.

TALE OF THE CITY
STREETS.

John is a Rock Island business man.
One of his weaknesses is the gaming
table. Before his marriage he was q
familiar figure around the ''kitties" OF
the CITY. Whenever there was a quiet
little game of draw en-. John could in
variably be counted in. Nothing short
of death in the family would inter
fere with his acceptance of an invita-
ton TO join.
But when John took wife TO his
bosom one of the promises was that
he would cut out the pasteboards. She
was opposed TO his playing at games of
chance, not alone for the reason that
there was an element of danger of
greater losses that she felt one in his
circumstances in life could afford. but
further that it would keep him away
from her at night, leaving her alone
a prospect that she viewed more alarm
ingly than any other feature. so she
confessed to him.
John loved his wife. and he would
do most anything to please her. but
he did find it a hard job to resist when
the fellows would telephone him Sat
urday evening to drop in at one of
their rooms and pass few hours at
trying his fortunes with the deck.
There never was played very stiff
game AT the start. but John had re-
membered some strenuous nights when
flushed by the effects of an intermina-
BILE procession of highballs. the limit
had been removed, and every one at
the board was in debt when the game
broke up in the cold gray dawn of the
following morning.
John did fudge once or twice. and
returned home late. just as he used to
do in the olden days when there was
no one to greet him at the door. So
wiley conceived the happy idea of ac
companying him down town on those
nights when he said he had business
engagements: that is, she would when
he did not interpose an objection. She
knew his weakness. and if she was
with him he would not go to the haunts
of his old friends.
So John quit playing cards in the
night, and in order that his wife would
not be any the wiser he would assist
in organizing afternoon draw parties.
One evening he failed to be home for
dinner. She took his explanation in
good parts. but she was satisfied that
he had told her an untruth. She turn
ed detective. and without arousing sus-
picion from her proud lord, discovered
where he had spent the afternoon and
evening of the day he failed to arrive
for dinner. Next day she accused him
of having fallen into his old habits,
but he insisted that he was following
the straight and narrow as close as
one possibly could. She finally told
what she had learned, and he was
