THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

1t hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
When 1 was a young girl l was a
lover of coffee, but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and did, but
after my marriage my husband begged
me to drink it again as he did not think
it was the coffee caused the troubles.
$50 | commenced it again and con-
tinued about 6 months until my stom-
ach commenced acting bad and choking
as if l had swallowed something the
size of an egg. One doctor said it was
neuralgia and indigestion.
Zone day l took a drive with my bus
band three miles in the country n
drank a cup of coffee for dinner. /
thought sure 1 would die before got
back TO town to a doctor. l was drawn
double in the buggy and when my hus-
band hitched the horse to get me out
into the doctors office, misery came up
in my throat and seemed to shut my
breath off entirely, then left all in a
flash and went to my heart. b doc
tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble
and when l got home l was so weak
1 could not sit up.
"My husband brought my supper to
nv bedside with a nice cup Of hot
coffee, but l said: Take that back,
dear, | will never drink another cup of
coffee il you gave me everything you
are worth, for it is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me and said:

"'Well,' | said, it is nothing else but
coffee that is doing it.
I'm the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy a box of Postum
which he brought home and made it
for dinner and we both thought how
good it was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we laughed and told
them. Well, we kept on with Postum
and it was not long before the color
came back to my cheeks and l got
| stout and felt as good as ever did in

Keeping Clocks Correct.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany receives about $1,00O,000 a year
for keeping 10000 clocks correct, charg-
ing for so doing SIS per year for each
clock. These are set at noon each day
by an automatic arrangement in each
electric equipment, which responds to
the beat of the sidereal clock in the
naval observatory when its hands point
to u and lets the time current go. A
few minutes before this hour business
over the Western Union wires is sus-
pended, and operators throughout the
country put their instruments in shape
to form an unbroken circnit from the
observatory to every place where ticks
a clock to be electrically Influenced.

A RecolnDense.

Young Edward, aged six, was quite
tired of staying in the house. His
mother was i'll and-had tried to keep
him in the room with her because her
room was warmer than his playroom,
but his toys were all in the playroom
and he became restless to go to them.
"Good-by, mamma" he said, Il will
come back in a thousand years."
II will be dead and buried by that
time, son."
The little fellow stopped for a mo
ment with his hand upon the door, and
thinking of the Greed he replied:
"Never mind, mamma, you will rose
again."-M. e. c., in Lippincotts.

The IN Lot.

In a recent talk to the students of
Iowa State College, Robert Quayle
made the statement that if one of the
best football players in first-class train
ing were placed on a large locomotive
to fire it for a long trip, it would tax
his physical powers a great deal more
than would the playing of an end posi-
ton on a football team. He went on:
81 might say that if he had, on a good
hard winters night, to shovel, in the
course of five or six hours, about
fifteen tons of coal through an eighteen
inch hole, and were it possible to see
that fifteen tons of coal piled up be-
fore him and he was told that he would
have to put in that coal in five or six
hours, l think he would quit his job
before he tackled it."-Literary Digest.

Mystery of the Death Of the Hunch-
back Clara Mcconnell Solved.

AJ "a thC OS0Nh VI thO AAuhSA
back Clara Mcconnell Solved.
Philadelphia, Pa.-Two men have con-
fessed to Superintendent of Police
Taylor that they were responsible for
tie death of Clara Mcconnell, the
hunchback, whose body was found in
a anu pile on the outskirts of the
Tenderloin here on February Is last.
One of them is Harry Norris, who
has already served two terms in pri-
son for larceny and who was recently
arrested ~. having stolen thirty or
more overcoats from various places in
this city. Norris is a degenerate, al
though a member of a well-to-do and
respectable family Of Wilmington, Del.
The name of Norris accomplice the
police are withholding. The motive
for the murder was robbery. Norris
and the other man lured Miss Neon
nell, who had a millinery store, to a
stable On Clarion street below Cherry,
struck her down with their fists, stole
about $11 which she had tied in her
handkerchief and then threw her in
the refuse pit attached to the stable.
She was not dead when thrown in,
but was suffocated.

DYING BY THE HUNDRED
Horrible Scenes Encountered Along
Russian Line of Retreat.
Roads From Mukden Crowded With
Two Wheeled Carts Carrying
Wounded Soldiers.

Headquarters of General Rennen-
kampff, near Oubenepusa, via Mukden.
The road northward was crowded as
far as the eye could reach by a con-
tinuous file of two-wheeled Chinese
carts full of Russian wounded, the
best testimony of the valor with which
the Army of the East, fighting contin-
uously for a fortnight, has defended
every inch of the ground over which
it has been compelled by superior
numbers to retire.
Each cart bore from three to five
wounded men, whose exhaustion was
almost too utter for them to feel pain.
Scarcely a groan or cry was heard
not ever the o of4the dying. Only
the dismal creak of the rude wheels
and the thud of the ponies hoofs were
audible.
Most of the wounded had their
heads covered with Chinese blankets
or dirty coats, stiff with coagulated
blood, hiding wan and dirty faces dis
torted with pain, sunken eyes and ex-
banded nostrils. Here and there was
seen a cart with two wounded men
between whom a a corpse, which
with every jolt pounded against the
helpless living comrades of the mar on
whose face death had sealed the dis
tortion of unbearable agony.
The valley in front of the Russian
position has become a valley of death.
Corpses strew the debatable ground,
from which neither side could remove
its dead.
Again and again the Japanese
charged Gown the slope and up the
hill. Again and again the Russians
counter-attacked, trying to gain pos
session of 1.-The Hill with the Tower"
No quarter was asked for or given by
either side. The enmity ceased only
in death-the wounded with breasts
torn open by shrapnel or bayonet es-
saying another shot with their last
breath.
Here sat a japanese upon a stone, a
moments pause for rest having
stretched him out into eternity.
There clay two foes with bayonets
Sheathed i'll each others breasts.
Everywhere corpSes corpses -
corpSeS.
For two days the Russians had been
concentrating a heavy artillery fire on
THE Hill with the Tower" stopping
the Japanese sap work. At 2 o'clock
in the morning the Russian skirmish-
ers heard a noise at The Hill with the
Tower" Creeping forward they dis
covered that the japanese were heap
ing up corpses as defenses. The Rus
sian field batteries Immediately opened
fire and forced a cessation of the work.
At dawn the Japanese attacked the
Russian positions near Oubenepusa.
The attackers were scarcely recogniz-
able as valiant Japanese, so mechani-
cally did they move forward and with
al with undying persistence attack and
get thrown back. They repeated this
at 10 in the morning after a prepare
tory artillery bombardment and
reached the Russian trenches, where a
bayonet fight ensued.
AT the crucial moment General
Alieff, commanding the vanguard, ar
rived on the scene with two companies
and turned the scale against the Jap
anese. Among the wounded was Lieu
tenant-Colonel Hrostitsky. of the Gen
eral Staff, who nevertheless remained
at the front.

LIVE STOCK.
GOLD IN THE GREAT BANKS.
What Has the Change Been, Since
1897. the World Over?

New York City.-The past week has
witnessed gold holdings at the Bank of
France at the highest figure of the in
stitution's history, 1862, 100000; the
Bank of Germany's cash holdings
within half a million dollars of the
high record, $27S,0 900, 1000, in February,
1885, and the Imperial Bank of Russia
holding the largest sum of gold re-
ported since September, 1898, though
still $6O,OOO,ON below the high mark of
January, 1898, Immediately after es.
adjustment of the gold standard in
Russia. The Bank of England's gold
holdings, on the other hand, despite a
considerable increase this year, are still
some $1O,O00,O0O below last Septem-
ber's maximum, before Germany be-
gan drawing gold from London, and
are sol, 100000 below the high record
of 1896. AS for the New York banks,
they hold in coin, mainly gold, a sum
$5S,O0O,O00 less than the total reported
last August, which was the maximum
in our history; but it is an interesting
fact that, Eel so, the Associated
Banks of this city hold this month more
specie than they held a year ago.
