divine his intention, he had slipped on
a cap with steel spikes, on one of
which he caught an apple that he pro-
jected into the air Three more apples
and potato followed, whereat the
court laughed. The performer beamed
with satisfaction. "Hop!" he cried, and
the next moment a large apple was
thrown by an assistant from the back
of the court straight at the head of M.
Sere de Rivieres, the presiding judge,
who only escaped a severe blow by the
dexterity of the Greek, who sprang for
ward and received the apple on his
spiked cap. "Hop!" he cried again,
and the performance was repeated.
Then, turning to his interpreter, ASK

DINNER, $4,000 A DAY

The sultan of Turkeys dinner costs
him $4,000 day.
The table is of silver and 1t is said
to be the most exquisite specimen of
the silversmith's art that the world
contains.
The dishes are brought in upon the
heads of jublakiars, or cooks assist
ants, and each dish is covered and
sealed with the royal seal. There are
always fifty or more dishes, and all
are set before the sultan at the same
time. He eats usually from about six.
Though the sultan Is himself total
abstainer wines of the finest vintage
are always offered to such guests as
dine at the palace.
Every dish the ruler partakes of is
first tasted in the kitchen by the grand
vizier, lest it be poisoned, and it is
Immediately thereafter that it's sealing
takes place. Always before he can fall
to on dish the sultan must break its
seal.
1t is not because he eats $4,000 worth
of food himself that the sultan's din
ner bill is so expensive. He eats as n
matter of fact no more than a half
dollars worth but the guests and re-
tainers who dine at his expense number
daily several thousand.

Feminine FrIIIs

Circular skirts, and plated, are
among the new ones shown in the
shops. The plated are the most popu-
lar, as the circular skirt Is less likely
to hang we'll after little wear. Wide
single and double box plaits are seen
among these, and the panels they form
are frequently trimmed with decorative
effects in fancy silk braids.
Velvet buttons are worn on the new
suits, also those of silk crochet, and
where the revers of jacket are faced
with poplin silk the buttons are COW
cred with material to match.
Plain tight fitting three-quarter coats
are worn with the plated skirts In
street suits. Some are double-breasted
to the waist and others have fly fronts
Plum, heliotrope and reseda are
among the new shades, and a suit OF
terra Gotta in a broadcloth makes
rich and handsome suit. 1t is trimmed
with fancy effects in half-inch SILK
braid in color to match.
An Elton jacket suit has the lower
part of the boxplaited skirt stitched in
tiny tucks an inch apart and having
more the effect of cords than tucks.
These same narrow tucks, set close to-
gether, are carried lengthwise down
sleeves and Jacket fronts.
Covert cloth jackets are among those
which show the box front, and they
have fitted backs. They are hip length.
White felts are smart outing hats
for fall, and there are many beautiful
ones shown. A pretty hat in small
soft shape is draped with long white
chiffon veil with ends, having several
two-inch tucks, falling at the back.
Peacock shades are among those
which are handsome on the new hats
All sorts and kinds of fiowered ef-
fects are seen in the new showings of

color on some of the new hats.

VETERAN DIES ON DESERT
Believed at sawteIIe That Marion c.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAWTELLE. Oct. Alt is believed
at the soldiers home that Marion c..
Tanner, a veteran who has been on
furlough from the home since last July,
has perished on the Mojave desert,
On the morning of october 6 two Mex
leans who were crossing the desert
from Buckeye to Salome found the
badly decomposed body of a man.
They were then twenty-five miles be-
yond Winters wells on the desert.
They found near the body postal
card with the notice that the furlough
of M. C. Tanner has been extended,
and some letters addressed to Mr..
Fanner.
The men went to the nearestz town,
Phoenix, and notified the authorities,
who wrote to the soldiers home, stat
ing the meager facts. In reply the
home instructed them to procure the
body.
Coroner Burnett of Phoenix stated
in a letter to Adjutant Clark that as
the Journey was ITS to 200 miles, it
would be some time before he could
notify him of the arrival of the body
at Phoenix.
Mr. Fanner who was a member of
Company F, Sixty-second Illinois In
fantry, had many friends in Sawtelle.
He was a native of Arkansas, ad-
mitted to the soldiers home from
Phoenix, Ariz., in 1902.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most eniclent
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system has the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved con-
dition of the general health, better
complexion sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: 1T ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use OF
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense patent preparation, yet
1 believe / get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozengea
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

Webster was scientific farmer; he
believed thoroughly in the value of
