the distribution of wealth was un-
equal. He didn't care for money for
himself, he says, but by taking it
from the rich he thought he was
doing society a good thing.
A few years ago, the boy while
playing with several companions,
tried his pistol on a man who was
crossing a lot in Harlem. He shot
the man in the leg just to prove that
he was a good shot and could wing
fellow on the run" He was sent
away to protectory for this exploit,
Recently, New York was startled
by g series of daring hold-ups in the
wealthy Fifth-ave. district. An au-
dicious thief, or a band of thieves"
began operations which kept the po-
lice lying awake nights trying to
solve the mystery in them. The jobs
were evidently not the work of old
time professionals and they were too
daring for any amateur, the police
thought
The method was simple. The thief
would select some fine mansion, OBJ
viously the home of wealthy people.
He would ring the door bell a dinner
time. when all the members of the
family would be in. When the maid
opened the door he would level a
brace of pistols at her face and back
her into the hallway. Then he would
tell her to take him to the head of
the house. Keeping his pistols in
front IF hin, oil
would make his way into the dining
or living rooms and there make his
demands. His victims were always
so frightened that they would not
think of calling for the police. The
robber would back his way out and
always succeeded in covering his
tracks, except once. That was when
he was Dragged

monstrous criminal dragged in poor

THREE ARE DIVORCED
BY JUDGE KEENAN,

Mrs. RASMUSSEN says her husband
rarely used his tongue or his hands
during their married life. He dis
likes work and it is a great effort for
him to speak. He wandered away
and left his wife within four months
after their marriage. He returned
and she forgave him. but he has never
lived at home longer than two weeks
since his first desertion. The couple
moved to Spokane nearly two years
ago. Mrs. RASMUSSEN conducts a
boarding house on Main avenue. Her
husband has not supported her since
they lived here, although she has
begged him to live with her and be
a good man. He ought to be classed
as another silent monster" for he
never makes answer to the wife's en-
treaties.
Judge KEENAN, held that the woman
ough to be free from the dumb and
faithless man and he gave back to
the plaintiff her maiden name.
John V. Harris told the court of a
cruel case of desertion. He married
Bertha l., Harris in Chicago In 1896.
In September, 1902, Mrs. Harris fell
in love with man who lived in the
same boarding house. She preferred
the company of this man to that
of her husband
Mr.. Harris offered to forgive the
woman and establish a new home If
she would promise to be a dutiful
wife and mother. The woman would
not leave her lover so Mr.. Harris
took their little boy and came to
Spokane, where he is now employed
as car inspector. The little boy is in
school here.
Judge KEENAN, severed the marital
relation and gave Mr.. Harris the le-
gal custody of the boy.

was troubled with infammatory
rheumatism in my feet and was COM
PEELED to go about with a cane, and
suffered a great deal during that time.
A gentleman told me of Medical Lake

that disease. I tried the Salts for
six days and found it to be success
full. bathed my feet once every night
in hot water IN which the salts had
been dissolved and then wrapped my
feet in wooden cloths. i did this for
six days and on the sixth day was

The Kidneys are the blood filters
They are operated solely by the in

and dissolve. There is only one way
to reach kidney trouble--that is
through the inside nerves that con-
troll them, which DR.. Shops Restora-
tive alone strengthens and restores.
