caddie Was Deliberate.

Beerbohm Tree has revised an old
saying and gives this reading: "A man
is never hero to his golf caddie.
While out on a Scottish link some
time ago he had particularly silent
and stupid-looking caddie, who fol-
lowed close at his heels without say
ing word. But since silence some
times speaks louder than words the
actor was nervous, and after partic-
ularly bad drive which seemed to de-
mand an apology, exclaimed: Did you
ever see worse player on these
iinks?" The caddie said nothing. A
still worse drive from the next tee
called forth the same query. The
caddie stared silently for a few mo-
ments. IL heard what ye said RIGHT
euougn." he at last slowly replied.
I'm just theenking."

TANGLED COURT CASE.
A Coffey County Young Woman Sc
cures Alleged Damages.

Before Judge Madden in the Coffey
county district court at Burlington
last week an interesting case was
tried It was one in which Miss. Mary
E Whitlock sought to recover her
property from a man she alleges
promised to marry her, Dr. A. G..
Eastman. J. A. Davis. a hotel keeper,
was also a defendant in the case. He
got some of Miss Whitlock's property
on board bill. Miss Whitlock
''scooped the platter" in the suit and
got back all her property.
Tt was shown that Mr. Davis had let
the property run down and had with
held enough of the rents to more than
make up the board bill. It was shown
that Miss Whitlock had become so
confident that Mr.. Eastman intended
to marry her that she had decided
over some of her property to him
without consideration. DR.. Eastman,
who is a man over so years of age,
married another and now has to an
swer for breach of promise suit for
$4,000 brought by Miss Whitlock,
which will be tried in the next term
Of the Coney county court.
Davis was the Burlington hotel
keeper convicted of breaking the
prohibitory law, and his fine and costs
amounted to over $500. To settle this
his hands was attached by the sheriff
and sold to two other parties The
court annulled the sale, ordered the
money returned to the purchaser and
the property put back in Miss Whit

poria, was Miss WhitIock's attorney

Wichita Girl Has Possession of
Small Piece Of Radium.
A Microscope Was Necessary to
Discern the Substance.
SENT FROM WYOMING.
Considered the Host Valuable
Mineral Yet Discovered.
Used in England Recently for
Curing IncuTabIe Diseases.

Wichita. Kan. May 3.-Miss Nellie
Dryden had in her possession up until
yesterday evening a piece of radium
at her home, 53s South Lawrence,
which was sent to her from the Uni
versity of Wyoming. The radium was
set in zinc sulphide, and covered over
with tin-foil. for the purpose of pro
tecting it. 1t is valued at 5000, and is
very precious. Miss Dryden has re-
turned the mineral to the university.
This is the first radium that was
ever brought to Wichita. Radium, as
Is known by everyone, is considered
the most valuable mineral yet discov-
cred There is no other known sub
stance, either artificial or natural, that
has ever had the similar effects. It is
said that the very smallest piece of
radium applied in a certain way will
burn the human flesh so completely
and thoroughly that the body will fall
to pieces as if the flesh were loose and
dead.
The piece of radium that Miss Dry
den has had during the last few days
was so small that it required a micro
scope to see it. BY the aid of the
microscope one could see the tiny
sparks shoot off in beautiful illumina-
lions. The sparks that emanated from
It were more than the human mind
could imagine. The brilliancy of the
light makes a lasting effect and one
that tmpresses the eye as weird and
unearthly.
Radium has recently been put to
splendid use in England for the curing
of several presumably incurable dis
eases. Leprosy has been completely
exterminated from the system through
the application of this wonderful sub
stance. Several cancerous diseases be-
sides this one, which the best medical
skill of the civilized world have spent
their entire lives to kill, have been
remedied by radium- In certain por-
lions of England there are hospitals
that are using radium, but. as yet,
they have been unable to obtain very
much of it, owing to the fact that 1t
is not to be found anywhere in abund-
ance.
The first radium discovered was in
south central Europe, and the discov-
cry was a simple and what one might
term, an ignorant discovery, for the
person who found it knew very little
of it's inherent qualities. 1t is now said
that there is considera BILE radium in all
parts of the world, although the asser-
ton has not been substantiated.
But the fact that radium, a real i've
piece of radium, has been in Wichita
for several days unknown to the c1ti-
zens may now be looked upon with.
some interest. Now that it is on its
way to the University of Wyoming and
that no one was burned to death, ana
unearthly effects, Wiehitans may rest
easy. Even Miss Dryden is sort OF
glad that the radium is no longer in
her possession. Since she come to
think of it thrill of dread and fear
causes her to shudder when speaking
of it. Still, it was an education to her
IN the study of the priceless radium-

GOOD HANDS.
Are What Fighters, Need the Most

San Francisco, May 3AtOf all the
mishaps that occur to a fighter during
MS ring career probably none are so
annoying or destructive as the injury
to his hands, said jim J effries. Every
boxer at some time or other has been
put to a disadvantage by his hands
going back on him at ascriticaI poii.z
1t is the hands that are put to the
strongest test. Once weakened or bro
ken 1t is a handicap, and for that rea-
son boxers are just as careful about
them when training for a battle as they
are about any other detail.
Fortunately developed strong
hands in my early trade of making
boilers. The continuous hammering. L
guess, developed every minute muscle,
so that when I entered the boxing
game I was pretty well fortified against
any great injury.
There are many boxers today who
use solutions in an endeavor to harden
their hands. These muscular tissues
protect the bones better than any hard
ening substance
