POISONED BY TOADSTOOLS.
-Four Who Ate Them By Mistake
Died Near Landisville, N. J.

Toadstools mixed with mushrooms
and eaten at a birthday party has
caused the death OF four OF the six
members OF the family OF Joseph
Franzor, farmer, who resides near
Landisville. n. J. The dead are
Joseph Franzor, aged thirty-eight
years; his wife, aged thirty and two
daughters aged seven and two years.
The remaining members of the fam
lily. two boys, aged five and four
years. owe their lives to the fact :aat
they did not partake OF the poisonous
mixture.
Franzor was a miner at Leadvllle,
Colo. Last March he purchased a
fifty-acre farm near Landisville with
money provided by his wife's brother
things he raised was a small guam
tity OF mushrooms. Last Friday a
week the family decided to have a
birthday party in honor OF the two
yeard-old daughter. Mushrooms was
one of the dishes to be served, and
the seven-year-old daughter said she
knew where mushrooms could DC
found in the woods near by. She
gathered some of the fungi, and the
mother, supposing they were nush-
rooms, added them to the mushrooms
taken from their own soil. Only the
members of the family were present,
and only four of the six ate mush-
rooms.
During the night the father, moth
er, and the two little girls became i'll.
The next morning a doctor was sent
for and he diagnosed the cases as
that of l1iccoughs. All four contin-
ued to grow worse, and on Monday
the two children died. A few days
later the parenrs were brought to the
Medico-C Chirugical hospital in that
city, where it was discovered that they
were suffering from toadstool poison
ing. The greatest interest was taken
in the cases by the hospital physi-
clans, but, despite their efforts the
husband died Sunday night and the
wife Monday. Mrs. Franzor was un-
conscious almost continually from the
time she became ILL., Neighbors at
Landisville have taken charge of the
two orphans, and will communicate
with their uncle at Leadville.

good naturedly, and they both LED the

locked. The door was unlocked, and
the parlor got it's first fresh air in

pended much money on the paTlor.
Everything was new but the stuHed

Of the carpet was wonderful in that it
consisted OF bright red roses. One
felt like stepping into bed CT flames.

principal article of furniture, while

The Extravagant Girl.

Two young men were talking to-

'What are YOU going to do Satur-

her ,akcs good slice out OF ones

The same compliment was heard
from another struggling young man:
Il can't cali on Miss So-and-So
often or accep1 her mothers hospl-
.ali:ies, BECAUSE she is putting me
under an obligation that | cannot
repay without spending just about all

cabs. bouquets, etc.
Girls if you want 10 be popular
don't be extravagant, or expect
man who makes s. week to spend
$50 in amusements for you.
Have some consideration for the
boys!
The kind of girl who expects her
path to be strewn with bouquets,
candy. theater tickets annd traps gen.
erallv, will find her popularity short
lived no matter how charming she
may be.
The average young mans pocket
book cannot stand the strain. long,
and he will turn to some other girl,
less attractive perhaps, but who Will
be content with the attentions ne
can afford to bessow upon her.
1t is a girls place to see that the
expenses a young man incurs for her
pleasure shall not exceed what he can
easily afford.
It is also the girls ~place to show
her men friends that she is satisfied
to enjoy their society at her own
home among her family.
It is natural to want change OF
scene now and then, but this easily
becomes a habit; then the home offers
no attractions to the girl who IS
used to the excitment Of constant
variety.
This is where extravagant propen-
sites begin and popularity ceases.
Every womanly girl is an embryo
hone-maker. She shows this by ma
king her parents home attractive 10
her friends.
Every manly boy is unconsclously
looking fo- this quality in girl, even
though he take her off on excursions
and picnics.
When he eventually sinds that she
cares only for the amusements that
cost him money he will begin to with
draw and to seek some girl who will
be an agreeable companion on less
expensive scale.
There is where the girl who takes
pleasure in all simple amusements
steps in. She has kept, or cultivated
a child-like gayety Of spirit and does
not need much outward provocatlon
to bubble over with mirth and en-
joy1nent.
Her home is bright to her and 10
others because she is in it, and IN ITS
