Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that m.ny contract colds
and recover from them without taking
anys,precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fac: leads others to
take their chances instead of giving their
colds The needed attention. 1t should
re borne in mind that every cold weak
ems the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes
the system less able to withstand each
succeeding cold and p'ves the way
for more serious diseases. Can you
afford to take such desperate chances
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for its cure of colds, can be had
for a trine? For SAFE by Gibson Il Tim.

FOUR MEN KILLED.

AS q result Ol tne DlOOuy pallt'
at Hampstead, Texas. Monday night,
four men were killed and others were
wounded. Hampstead was last night un-
der the control of the Texas Rangers.
Martial law has not been declared; but
Adiutant General Hulen arrived last
night with a number of Rangers and as
sumed charged Of fairs. No on" is
permitted to bear arms and the excite
ment manifested throughout the day had
quieted down last night.
Rollan Brown. the son of one Of the
men killed at the prohibition mass
meeting Monday night, was yesterday
placed under arrest on a charge OF firing
the shot which killed Representative
John NJ. Pinckney He stated that his
father was under the Influence OF intoxi-
cants when he attended the meeting,
and that he (lhe SOM attempted to dis
suade him from attending. His father
was firm. however, in his intention, and
went to the meeting. The son followed
and took part in the shooting. 1t has
been established that the trouble began
when Captain Brown attempted to
secure recoenitio" to speak at the
meeting. 1t is said that his language
was offensive to several ladies present,
and the fusilade began Immediately
afterward. Congressman Pinckney
was shot four times, and almost
instantly killed. Thomas Pinckney,
a brother of the congressman, was shot
twice in the back and killed, and Cap
tain Brown received a bullet through
the heart. John E. Mills, the re-
naming victim, who took no part in the
affair. was killed by stray bullet.
The killing are the direct result Of
prohibition movement in Waller county,
which began some years ago, a1d the
feeling has been intense. An election
was held in Waller county April 20, and
the prohibisionists, with whom the
Pinckneys were affiliated, we're success
ful. The Prohibition League was called
together Monday night to wind up its
affairs and dsband. A resolution re-
questing the Governor of Texas to send
troops to Waller county for the purpose
of enforcing the law against liquor-sel'-
ers was excitedly debated. 1t was at
this iuncture that Capt II VI. Brown.
who had figured prominently as an anti
prohibitionlst, sought to have the chal-
man recognize him. Ye'terday it was
reported that friends and relatives OF the
participants in the bloody ahrsy had been
asked to come to Hampstead. and 1t was
feared that further trouble would result.
Last night, however, cooler counsel had
prevailed and the little town IS quiet
While no further trouble is anticipated
a number of rangers will remsin at lemI
stead to preserve law and order should
the occasion arise.

Indorsed by State Fedration of Labor

IndOrsed by State Fedratton OF LABOR
In the discussion of the Virginia gu
bernatiorial campaign considerable doubt
has been expressed as to which candi-
date would receive the Endorsement
and support of The railroad employees OF
Old Dominion, who are we'll organized
and WELD no little influence. 1t has
been said that Lieut.. Gov. Joseph +.
Willard would not receive the united
support of the railroad element, on the
ground that he refused to vote, while a
member of the State Legislature, for the
employers liability, or fellow-servant,
bill unless the law were made applicable
to all citizens in hazardous employment.
Friends of Mr.. Willard, in Washington,
declared yesterday that he had already
received the Endorsement of the railroad
men aud that they would give him their
loyal support. 1t is claimed by these
friends of Mr.. Willard that.when he was
elected Lieutenant-Governor and pre-
siding officer of the State Senate and
found that the employers liability bill
could not be passed with the amendment
which he offered, he Withdrew his OBJ
lections and gave the measure, as orlgl-
nally drawn, his hearty support. 1t
WAS pointed out that after the passage
of the bill the Virginia Federation ol
Labor, at its annual meeting at Roa-
noke, in May, 1902, expressed cordial
appreciation OF Mr.. Wilard's services IN
behalf of the bill.

A New Yorker who recently lost
his father from cancer of the throat
seemed suddenly afflicted with the
same Disease. His throat bothered
him necessarily. his speech became al
most unintelligible and he grew bag
gard and thin from anxiety and pain.
Most of all he missed his cigars, for
his physician at once cut of all smok-
ing. One day he met an old college
friend who had developed into a sue
cessful dentist. In the course of their
first conversation the patient men
toned that he had been having sore
trouble with the plate attached to an
upper set of false teeth.
A large and complicated bridge was
finally inserted and the plate discard
ed. To the patients amazement, the
throat trouble disappeared along with
the plate.

IN THE CRADLE OF TEARS.


''~'e " eIG VOflQ.
There is a cradle within the door
of one of the great institutions of New
York before which a constantly re-
curing tragedy is being enacted. It
is plain cradle, quite simply draped
in white. but with such a look of coy
comfort about 1t that one would
scarcely suspect it to be a cradle OF
sorrow
And this cradle is the most usesnl
and. in way, the most Inhabited
cradle in the world. Day after day
and year after year. 1t is the recipient
of more small wayfaring souls than
any other cradle in the history of the
race. In 1t the real children OF sorrow
are placed and over 1t more tears are
shed than II It were an open grave.
1t is the place where annually 200
foundlings are placed-the silent wit
ness of more heartbreaking scenes
than any other cradle since the world
began. For nearly thirty-fve years
1t has stood where it does to-day,
ready-draped, open. while as many
thousand mothers have stolen shame
facedly in and after looking hopeless
ly about, have laid their helpless of
spring within its depths.
For thirty-five years, summer and
winter. in the bitterest cold and the
most sitting heat, 1t has seen them
come-the poor, the rich; the humble.
the proud; the beautiful, the homely-
and one by one they have laid their
children down and brooded over them,
whether it were possible for human
love to make SO great sacrifice and
yet not die.
Still the tragedy repeats itself and.
year after year and day after day, the
unlocked door is opened and de-
throned virtue enters-the victim of
Ignorance and passion and affection,
and a child is robbed of an honorable
home.-Tom Watson's Magazine.

II Germany is right-and several
times in the last thousands OF years 1t
has been right--we shall all eventually
be living in whst Boston calls crystal
edifices. and consequently must care
fully refrain from the projection OF
promiscuous geological fragments.
Glass has been found to be cheaper
and lighter building material than
brick. Why not? II is made OF sand,
which is rather more universal and
abundant than brick clay. Suitable
sand is found all over the United
States, and the American sand Is said
TO be better for the purpose than that
found In Europe. As a structural ma
terIai, glass has the advantage over
brick, that 1t can be made in any de-
gree of transparency. 1t will admit
light TO see by. and yet can be SO
treated that 1t will not reveal the pro
ceedings of those who are behind IT,.
II all the fat houses and tenement
houses of this city were made of glass
1t would at least be possible for land
lords and agents to advertise truth
fully "all light rooms" And yet such
privacy as is possible in any fiat would
not be interfered with, for the struc-
itural material could be sufficiently
iciouded to obstruct the direct vision.
Moreover, the adage about throwing
stones would not apply, for structural
glass Is as tough as a brick. II not
tougher. Streets at Grenoble, France.

JUDGE BROWN WOULD SETTLE.
Invited Guest Had No Use for the Bill
of Fare.


Judge Brown, whose boyhood home
was in small New England village,
had the reputation of being a very
kind-hearted man. He was always
glad to see his old friends. no matter
how rustic they might seem.
ca one occasion the judge had some
legal business in the capital OF his
native state, and there met an old
farmer from his birthplace. who was
taking an unwonted holiday and
looked rather bewildered The judge
invited the old man to dine with him
at the hotel.
When the farmer took his heat at
the table one of the walters laid a
bill of fare before him. The old man
looked at it, and then facing round
to look the waiter squarely in the
face, he said, in tone than rang
through the dining room: NO need
to gimme that, young Teller. Judge
Brown cal'lates to settle my bill. He
came from our town, an know his

MY wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could
not live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to 100 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's

broom out to the van and | saw the

Out of Place.
My father was a member for sever

Vermont Methodist Episcopal confer
ences. says a writer in the Boston
Herald. In common with all country
pastors, he had some laughable ex-
periences. and he never failed to see
the point in each ore.
At one time he was called to attend
the funeral of a man who had been
well known and highly respected by
his townspeople. Twas a delightful
summer day. and the attendance OF
friends was large and crowded the
small farmhouse. so it was decided to
place the casket in the front yard.
The undertaken was man of good
intentions. but not gifted in speech,
and when the time came for the
friends to view the remains he electri-
fed the officiating clergyman and
some others by extending the invita-
ton in this manner:
The house being small. our dead
friend will be exhibited outdoors"

of self-glorificatlon to escape him. One

Ever since boyhood l have been
especially fond of meats, and l am

to masticate my food properly.
The result was that l found my
self. few years ago. afflicted with
ailments of the stomach and kidneys.
which interfered seriously with my
business.
"At last took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead
of the heavy meats, etc, that had con-
stituted my former diet.
II found that was at once benefited
by the change, that was soon reliev-
ed from the heartburn and the indi-
gestion that used to follow my meals,
that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased, showing
that those organs had been healed. and
that my nerves, which used to be I'M
steady. and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from heavy diet of
meats and greasy foods. had. not in
moment. but gradually and none the
less surely, been restored to normal
efficiency. Now every nerve is steady
and my brain and thinking faculties
are quicker and more acute than for
years past.
