SURELY A GOOD EXPLANATION
To All Who Know the Nature Of That
Kind of Animal.


An Irish judge, in consideration of
the defending counsel being English
and unable to get any results from
his cross-examination of the plaintiff,
who was also of Hiberian descent, un-
dertook the examination himself. The
case was that of an employe who had
brought an action of damages against
his employer for being kicked by one
of the animals in the stable, while
performing his duties.
You say you were very careful in
attending to this horse" said the
judge. "and that you did not prod him
on the legs with the fork, or excite
him in any way; now what reason can
you give for him having kicked you?"
Because he was mule, SIR" re-
turned the witness.

NO MORE HEADACHE.
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretchcd for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from pooi
or poisoned blood. In ansemia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
i'll the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood i'll the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
OH the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by an@mia.

A SUDDEN SUMMONS
Or. Wilbur hayman, Of Wilkes Barre,
Dropped Dead at Rohrsburg

With a suddenness that was
startling, DR.. Wilbur Hayman, of
Wilkes Barre, Pa, a graduate of
the veterinary department Of the
University of Pennsylvania. dropped
dead while conversing with some
friends at Rohrsburg Friday after
noon. DR.. Hayman was formerly
resident of the vicinity in which
his untimely death occurred. He
had been i'll for some time, the dis
comfort, it is believed, having been
produced by too close devotion to
duty. He had gone to the home
of Fred Stoddard, at Rohrsburg, to
rest up and regain his health. He
was feeling much better on Friday
and had walked to the home of a
neighbor. 1t was while sitting on
the porch, in conversation, that
the summons care. He fell from
the chair and expired.
DR.. Hayman was twenty eight
years of age, unmarried, and is sur
vived by two sisters, Ila, of Ronrs-
burg and Mrs. Norris Wilson, of
West Liberty, Iowa, and brother,
Bruce, also of West Liberty.

Goal Prices to Advance Monday

In its leading editorial on Monday
the trade Coal Bulletin, the official
organ of the coal operators, deplores
the fact that the consumers of coal
have not profted by their expert
enccs of last year when they were
caught mapping with insufficient
supplies of coal on hand, and
sounds warning that it is probable
that conditions will be worse this
year unless immediate action is
taken.
The editorial says the price of
coal is lower than it is likely to be
again in long time, and that while
the present conditions are good the
opportunity cannot last a great
while. Consumers, as usual, it is
pointed out, are buying only for
present needs. Somebody is going
to suffer before the winter is over,
and it will not be the producers.

STRANGE DROWNING ACCIDENT.

Charles E. Gibbons of Danville,
drowned in very strange manner
in the susquehanna river at point
near the Pennsylvania Railroad
water tank, short distance below
Catawissa, Friday night. The
body was net discovered until Sum
day morning. 1t was standing in
an upright position with the legs
imbedded deep in the mud.
1t seems that Gibbons and Oliver
Wertz, also of Danville, started up
the river in a row boat Friday
morning in quest of some valuable
drift wood. Neither of them was
seen in Danville again until Satur.
day afternoon when Wertz appear
ed there making inquiries concern
ing Gibbons, and was greatly sur
prised to hear that he had not
reached home. He then explained
as follows: They were bringing a
raft down the river. He was in
charge of the boa. .and drift wood.
Gibbons was walking along the
shore. Between 8 and . o'clock a
short distance below Catawissa,
where The tank is located, the raft
parted and while Wertz was trying
to repair the damage the boat cap,
sized. He told his companion to
walk on along the shore and that
he himself would take care Of the
upturned boat and the wood until
shallow water was reached little
farther on when he would right the
boat and connect the parted raft.
When shallow water was reached
Gibbons failed to put in an appear.
ance. After waiting awhile Wertz
went back:".to the spot where the
boat had capsized and there he
found Giddons' dog lying on shore
but no trace of Gibbons. He did
not know what to think of this at
first, but finally concluded that the
man had jumped a passing freight
train and gone to Danville.
His first moment of real appre-
hensiveness seemed to be when he
learned that Gibbons was not in
Danville.
His fear was soon shared by
others and when Saturday night
came on and there was still no It'd
ings from the missing man solici-
tude gave way to settled convic-
ton that some dreadful fate had
overtaken him. Sunday morning
large party of searchers started
up the river.

bury. A short distance from shore
the mans head was seen slightly
protruding above the water. The
body was in standing position.
The man wore heavy rubber boots
and his legs had sunk into the soft
mud. Decomposition had far ad-
vanced. The inference would seem
to be in view of Mr.. Wertz's story
that the deceased instead of follow
ing Wertz's directions and walking
down the shore undertook to wade
out into the stream to render as.
sistance. His heavy boots helped
to bear him down and he got fast
in the mud. His companion had
passed the spot; there was no OF ther
help and death by drowning was
the result.
Coroner Sharpless Of Catawissa
empaneled jury and verdict of
death by accidental drowning was
rendered.
Gibbons was A years old and is
survived by wife.
