bruises. The train was going at high

that he closed the lock of the switch
and his conductor states that he per-

work The agent at the station affirms
that Is minutes after the freight train
had departed he placed the light of the
switch in its proper position and saw
that it was properly locked for the
main line.
"A resident who was walking along
the track and observed the approach
of the express states that the light OF
the switch was clear. Immediately
after the accident occurred an exam

switch lamp had been removed from
the socket and turned down and fas-

main line position while the switch was
set for the siding. The switch lock
was found upon the ground a short
distance from the switch. The resident

someone running from the scene as the
train approached."

the grounds that the respondent had been
unfaithful 10 him and had acted In a dual
capacity and, after hearing the parties and
their evidence and counsel, the auditor made
his report TO the court, the substance OF
which relative 20 the matters OF said defense
is as follows: Evidence OF both sides
shows that Mr.. Fits sued Mr.. Bartlett and
trusted Mr.. Prescott with others but IL also
shows that Mr.. Prescott became informed of
that fact and was told by Mr.. Fits that he

spondent, that no motion was ever made by
Prescott or his counsel 10 set aside or re-
commit said report or have re'hearing and
that no objection was made or exception TAX
en- to said judgment
Wherefore this respondent AYERS that he
has given said Prescott every opportunity
by due process Of law TO make prove and

Well, Brady's at last got beyond
me. He's hit the trail wherein my
halting feet refuse to tread. For
twenty-five years We followed him
without a murmur. He's gone ahead
and cleared away the underbrush,
and wherever his nose has led him
I've traipsed meekly along in the
rear. All the roads we've travelled
haven't been smooth, and all of them
haven't been rocky, either. The fact
is they have been about as good as
the average geezer encounters through
out his journey in this vale Of tribu-
lation. | can remember many thrill
ing experiences which are woven in
the web and woof Of our lifelong
companionship The most exciting, |
think, was the time Brady made a
ninety-yard run in the high school
foot ball team. Brady was 10 then,
and Just as big as he is now He
made the run. | was spectator but
as | had then, as now, remarkable
gift for butting in, | was on the
ground right next to the screaming,
yelling mass of hair, sweaters and
spikes, and was the first one to grab
the boss when he went under the goal
post. The next most eXcruciating
episode | will pass over hurriedly, as
it involves a tender memory Of one Of
our social successes in the calf age
and when Il man is about to commit
matrimony, the dead past should not
be raked up against him.
As previously stated, in all the
former principal events Of our allur-
ing career, Eve generally been hang

Brady, Sometimes | did the leading

Of lamb to his Mary. We got along

him to the bitter end,
But he's been and gone and done
it now. He's speeding down the ave

HOW TO SEE YOUR MOONS.
Experiment Can Be Tried With a Mir
ror on a Cloudless Night.

A pretty experiment can be made
with Il hand mirror any night when
there is a full moon. Hold the mirror
so that the moon's s image will be seen
in il and you will be surprised to
see four moons instead Of one. One
moon will be very bright, but the 9th
er three will be in a straight line and
quite dull, one dull image ON one side
of the bright moon and the other two
on the other side. Turn the mirror
around slowly, still holding its face
to the moon, and the reflections will be
seen to revolve around Il common CEN
ter
You can make the same experiment
with any one Of the bright stars, such
as Sirius, Venus or Jupiter, but with
these there will BE- three images IN
stead Of FOUR as the number seen de-
ponds on the breadth of the object
The explanation is simple. There are
two surfaces in Il mirror one in front
and the other where the quicksilver
is. The brightest reflection comes
from the object itself, the others are
what are known as secondary im-
ages, y reflected from the front to the
back Of the mirror and thence to the
eyes. The magic mirror never fails
to excite a good deal of wonder and
is an interesting experiment rs well.

HARMFUL STOMACH DOSING
No Need of it When Hyomei is Used
TO Cure Catarrh.

Physicians and scientist, agree that
the less medicine one swallows, the
better 1t is in keeping with this
idc that Hyomei is recommended by
leading physicians throughout this
and other catarrhal sections.
When this treatment is used in ca
larrhal troubles, there is no stomach
dosing for the medicine is taken in
with the air YOU breathe, and goes
right to the spot where the catarrhal
germs are present, hcling the mhamcd
and irirtated mucous membrane, kill
ing the disease germs and entering the
blood with the oxygen, driving all ca
tarrhal germs from the system.
DO not try TO cure catarrh of the
head by putting medicine into your
stomach--this is neither a scientific
nor common-sense treatment. You
breathe the healing balsame of Hyo.
mel and in a few days you will notice
relief, and its continued use will re-
suit in n complete and lasting cure.
Shackle Drug Company have seen
seen so many cures made by Hyomei
amongst their customers, several of
them cases where all hope of relief
had been given up, that they give
an absolute guarantee of cure, or
money refunded, with every outfit
they sell.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, while extra bottles of llyomei
if neended re only so cents.
