NNEAN
We have heard much about the
American stomach and the American
nerves, but we are just awakening to
q discovery that there is being rapidly
developed a form of heart disease
which, II not peculiar to America. may
at least be said TO be more prevalent
in this country than in any other part
OF the world. The he~art-weakness re-
sulting from the use of tobacco and
alcohol and from a sedentary life on
the n hand, and extremely violent
exertion on the other hand, is no long
er q rare condition. but has come to
be n OF the most common affections
with which the physician has to deal.
A large proportion of the men reject.
ed in the army examinations are re-
fused on account of heart weakness.
A large proportion Of the public men
who die suddenly die as a result OF
the failure Of the heart. The same
may be said also Of many Of the
cases in which the cause of death Is
reported to be pneumonia, typhoid fe-
yer and other affections In which spe-
cial strain is brought to bear upon the
heart. and in which the failure OF the
organ to meet the emergency is one OF
the most common causes OF death. The
cigar. the cigarette and the pipe are
probably the most common cause of
this growing frequency Of cardiac af-
fections; but the neglect OF physical
exercise. ~overeating. the use Of condi-
ments and excuses of all sorts are
also to a large degree responsible for
the rapid increase of this grave NAL
ady.

DEATH IN TRAILING SKIRT
Danger That Turks In Present Day Obedience
10 Fashions Whim

The following short story from the
Woman's Journal Is very timely 10 the
warning given against trailing skirts
Only a little dust, almost lmpercets
tihle dust, caught IN the rug on the
floor Of the handsome hall.
Il was a Turkish rug. lying on the
perfectly waxed, hardwood floor. In a
fsil where neatness seemed to reign
aiong with ali The appointments OF
wealth.

ceptihle dust. How did Il come thereg

voices Il would tell you. II would
say that II had clutched a fold on the
beautiful lady's gown and come in
from the street.
It was a beautiful gown as well as q
beautiful lady-a tailor-made gown.
and its fashionable bias fiounce trailed
stylishiy on the ground.
Everything was stylish about tee
lady. from her fair face. with
rather deep circles below the eyes, to
her slender and handsome walking
shoes. She walked trailing her gown

ignored the dust OF the street; but will

Let us listen, IL she viii not. for

and other gowns helped TO move the
dust along farther into the house; but
It had q fancy for the beautiful lady.
Her ~fraiEness attracted II and it fol
lowed her to the bed chamber. Her
feet had never trod the ioathsome
precincts whence it came. but 1t came
20 her on her gown.
Soon there ame to the chamber a
little child, q sweet. rosy cherub. In
its romping it stirred the lust about.
Then the dust began to be sepa-
rated. being formed of many particles,
and these talked among themselves.

mamma, the beautiful lady.

time.
When night came again, thousands
of little voices sent up the baby pray

Mary's littae lamb.

Mary had little lamb,
 Worth about six bits,
 That has caused much dissenson
 And many and various splits
 In the friendship among ueighbors
 In the township of Relief,
 And has cost many dollars,
 In addition to much grief
 The circuit court was occupied Monday with the case of John Evans vs. D. Younger, in which a verdict was returned for the defendant by the jury. The property involved was a lamb, valued at seventy-five cents, and the costs and lawyers fees have amounted to something like $50. The case was tried in a justice court in Relief township, and the jury in that court also gave Younger the verdict, but an ap- peal was taken to the circuit court by Evans. It was alleged by Younger that the lamb be- longed to his little daughter, who had raised it by hand. About a dozen witnesses were in attend ance upon the trial, besides many other citizens of Relief township, who were in sympathy with diff ferent sides in the suit. Bates vile Guard.

JOHN ROBINSON SHOWS COMING.
Americas Oldest and Most Widely Known Tented Organization Billed to Appear
 Here Saturday, November 18.

Representatives of the John Robinson's ten big shows com bined have just completed ar- engagements for the coming of the Father of Shows" and the bill boards show an attractive line of pictorial printing.
 The show, under the manage ment of John Robinson, is now enjoying it's eighty-third year of prosperity, and is one of the fore most amusement attractions of America, if not of the world.
 It numbers among it's arenic fayorites some of the most ex- pensive and best acts that money can procure. The Capt. Thom- son troupe of. American cavalry men, in. expert feats of daring and original horsemanship; Dare devil DeBurry, who sets at def- ance all fixed laws of nature when he dashes down a dizzy incline, and with the speed of a hurricane loops the gap on bicycle; the marvelously educated troupe of seals, under the master hand of Capt. Winston; Edna, acknowl- edged princess of the realm of horsewomanship, the worlds only lady somersault rider and twenty equestrian associates; forty joy ous, subjects of King Momus in a gleeful suficiency, and more than a hundred other foreign and American features in three rings and an elevated stage, and intro ducing as an added feature King Solomon, his temple and the Queen of Sheba, requiring a cast of a thousand men, women, chil- dren and horses, 100 ballet girls, reproducing the dances of the day of the king of a thousand wives.
 The Robinson show has always been famed for it's menagerie, and this season finds the zoolog- ical annex the most complete ever carried by a tented show, com prising costly and rare animals from every section of the globe. This splendid array of animal tal- ent will be seen in the big daily street parade, pronounced by all as the most gorgeous and elabor- ate pageant of modern times, comprising more than a mile of gold encased wagons, chariots and 800 of the finest of American horses. This is the only big show that is not in the circus trust, and no advance in the prices will be made.
