The following article and poem was
written by the editor of the Los An
geles Cali Express and appeared in
that paper in it's issue of December
21st. 1t gives minute description of
the Choisser murder and voices the
sentiments of the general public in
that community:
Last Thursday night two strangers in Los An
geles, father and son, were shot to death by po-
lice detectives The older man is said to have
been wanted for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses back in Illinois, The bov was guilty of no
crime. Without announcing their authority
three detectives entered the room late at night
as the father and son were about to retire. AL
though un armed, the former was killed by pis-
to shot fired by ratified officer; all three detect.
ives then fled preclptately from the room. Later
lod ger in an adjoining chamber heard the lad
weeping and moaning, and entering his apart
ment helped the son lay the lifeless body Of his
father on the bed. Begging this Samaritan to
remain for a few minutes, the youth ran out into
the hall, still weeping violently and crying for a
doctor. The next moment he was shot dead.

Dis1Ocated Her Shoulder

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fer
gus Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated
her sholder. She had surgeon get
it back in place as soon as possible,
but it was quite sore and panied her
very much. Her son mentioned he had
seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver-
tised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her bottle of it,
which he did. 1t quickly relieved her
and enabled her to sleep which she
had not done for several days. The
son was so pleased with the relief it
gave his mother that he has since rec
omended it to many others. For sale

With a gaping hole in his hairless breast
And piteous look in his staring eyes "
Here, in this Christmas week, he lies,
Unshriven and unconfessed.
What was his crime? All! listen, you,
Who ligh ~ speak of shot well sped,
And dare to assert he is better dead
Listen, and you shall rue!
Motherless he since tiny lad
And youngest Of ali Of his fathers flock
Only that hand his cradle to rock

Tender the man through all the years
Father and mother combined in one!
Such was the site to the orphaned SON
Sharings his hopes and fears! -s
What if that father the law transgreased?
Ever his love for the lad held true,
Guarding him we'll as he Older grew

Hope was the prick that spurred!
Crack! and bullet has checked his race!
Crack! and another one with it vies!
There, with horrible wound he lies,
Prone on his beardless face!
Fathers, and yon who are mothers, too,
This was no worthless, scoundrelly scamp
Bearing the mark of a vicious stamp
One of a rascally crew! ="
This was lad you all might have known,
Sturdy, and laughter-loving and gay,
Fond Of quip in his boyish way
Not yet man tull-grown.
Sent to his death as he vain,y essayed
Succor to bring to his stricken sire.
Succor that father would never require
he was beyond all aid!
Here, in this Christmas week, he lies,
Side by side with his parent slain,
Living his eighteen years in vain
All! what pitifui price,
Stark and cold in his youthful prime
With a cruel wound in bis tender breast
Not yet by woman's afmscarressed-
Dead, dead before hes time! Il

How should Cirencester be pro
nounced?' I am asked.
Well, this is rather difficult ques-
ton to answer It probably has as
many versions as the town of Rheims.
or the name Of the immortal Samuel
Pepys. Having sojourned so fre-
quently in that pleasantest of Glou-
cestershire towns, I suppose 1 ought
to know something about it. But
when l come to think about it, I con-
fess 1 am somewhat puzzled.
First of all, there is the name as
spelled. That is in general use in Lon
don, and usually adopted by those
who never visit the township.
Then you have Chester. This GER
tainly has antiquity to recommend it.
An earnest Shakesperean reminds me
that BoIingbroke says toward the con
clusion of King Richard IT.: Our
town of Chester in Gloucestershire. -
Furthermore, you have the name
pronounced as rhyming both to bills
ter and to visitor, and there rs also
the latest version wherein-in har-
mony with the time-saving and word
clipping habits of the day-the title OF
the town is shortened to Ciren.-Lon-

"outurowlno Defects"

1t is very common saying that a
child will "outgrow'' physical defects,
and this appears in many cases to be
true. AS children approach the age Of
II or IA a wonderful reconstruction
begins both physically and mentally
and many times small defects disap-
pear and habits change. The girl ap-
proaches womanhood, the boy man
hood, and they are filed with new
ambitions and aspirations, usually to
accomplish some great and wonderful
deed 1t is the time for careful train
ing, for sympathy from the parents,
and for help to "outgrow" any defects
of mind or body.-Exchange

Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They arc Healthy.
Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing Is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an illustration-anyon no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest nice hot cup OF Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two Of
Grape-Nuts poured in. and such COM
bination contains nourishment to car
ry one a number of hours, for almost
every particle of 1t will be digested
and taken up by the system and be
made use of.
A lady writes from the land OF the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: Il was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two well known physicians
for my children, and l feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
Milk does not agree with either
child, so TO the eldest, aged four and
one-half years. give Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her spIendidly. regulating her bowels
perfectly although she is Of q consti-
peted habit.
For the youngest, aged two and
one-half years, use one-haIf Postum
and one-haIf skinned milk. I have
not given any medicine since the
children began using Postum, and
they enjoy every drop of it.

What Coin Loses BY Abrasion.

1t is well known that coin in circu.
lation loses weight by abrasion, but an
additional loss results from the same
cause in shipment to Europe. An in
stance has been cited in Wall street
circles where as much as one thirty
second per cent has been lost through
abrasion alone in shipping gold coin,
which would be at the rate of more
than $500 in shipment of $1,O00.00O.
