small change. The evidence is purely
circumstantial, and to send them up
would be only to start them on the.
downward path. I'll give them another
chance"
"Sta-art thin down be sindin' thin

self, as he left the courtroom. "Oho!

That night, as usual, he told his
troubles to his wife, but he got little
sympathy from her.
IF ye're an injane-yus ma-an," she
said, "ye'll land thin fellies with tn

an ye're long enough on tn foorce f'r
to know it. Don't talk to me iv tn

t is f'r you to give 1t to him"
Policeman Flynn shook his head
with the doleful air of man who
thought the whole world was against
him; but he always shows best in ad-
versity. In his own language, he "wint
out afther thin la-ads," and he got
them. He marched them into the sta
ton house one night about two weeks
later, and two more detected specimens
OF humanity never appeared there.
One OF them was carrying mantel
clock heavy enough seriously to tax
his strength, and the other was loaded
down with brass andirons. One Of the
officers in the station made motion
to take the booty away from them,
but Policeman Flynn instantly inter-
fered.

Aunt Mary,s "ouletp Funeral.

A dear old New England spinster,
the embodiment of the timid and
shrinking, passed away at Carlsbad,
where she had gone for her health,
Her nearest kinsman, nephew, or
dered the body sent back to be buried
as was her last wish-in the quiet
little country churchyard. His sur
prise can be imagined, when, on open
ing the casket. he beheld, instead Of
the placid features of his Aunt Mary,
the majestic port of an English gen.
eral in full regimentals, whom he re-
membered had chanced to die at the
same time and place as his aunt. At
once he cabled to the generals heirs
explaining the situation and requesting
instructions. They came back as
follows: Give the general quiet fu-
neral. Aunt Mary inferred to-day with

WHO PAID FOR THE pRINKs2
Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty
Men on the Mexican Border.

Now, here is the best yarn Of the
lot and good puzzle for the Sunday
papers to print" said the man with
the alkali in his whiskers, when he
had settled down in the hotel lobby
after a long day on the rubberneck
wagon.
Several years ago American silver
coin in Mexico was on the same basis
as Mexican silver was at that time and
still is in the states; 1t passed at half
its face value. Drinks in Ell Paso and
in Juarez, the Mexican town across
the line, were a bit apiece or 121s
cents, as you fasteners would say.
'1n those palmy days citizen OF
Ell Paso could go into drinking EN-.
porium and buy drink, paying for it
with an American quarter. The bar
tender would hand him back a Mexi'
can quarter, which was, of course,
worth 121s cents in Texas.
"Then with this Mexican quarter in
his hand the citizen could cross the
bridge to Juarez and there buy an.
other drink, laying his Mexican quar-
ter on the bar.
"If the Greaser barkeep should give
him in change an American quarter
worth 1914 cents in Mexico the joyous
citizen could return to Uncle Sans
back yard and repeat the process.
Nov, the question is: Who paid
for those drinks?"-N. Y. Sun.

Hindu Neon Lore.

The full eclipse of the moon was OBJ.
served in Singapore on the night of
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse is the contact between
the neen and another planet called
Rahee, but the masses believe that
ewing to tho will Of God, Rahoo, or the
serpentlike planet, catches hold Of the
mosn by its hideous mouth and re-
leases 1t after short time.
At the first contact the Findus
bathe principally in the sea and anxi'
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink cup Of water, as their
belief is that all things in the world
get polluted during the contact.-Sing

RIGHT HOME.
Doctor Recommends Postum from
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize the
injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, ;han the doc
tor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
II wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. I have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over 10
years, and part of the time was unable
to attend to my business.
II was moderate user of coffee and
did not think drinking 1t hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
l ascribe 1t to the change from coffee
to Postum.
II am prescribing 1t now in cases Of
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.

better flavor than coffee, and is vital

HOTEL HORROR
IN MINNEAPOLIS
Eight Lives Lost by SuffO-
cation or Jumping From
the Windows.
Heroic Work Of Firemen, one Of
Whom Lost His Life in Saving an
Aged Woman From Death In
the Fiery Furnace.

Minneapolis.-Eight persons are
dead from suffocation or from leaping
from windows. and score OF people
were more or less injured, as the re-
suit Of fire in the West hotel early
Wednesday morning.
The fire, which is supposed to have
been caused by crossed electric wires,
was in itself insignificant, being con-
fined to the elevator shaft and top
floor In the corner of the building, but
the wild excitement which followed
the frst alarm hurried people into
the halls and out upon window lodges
in a frantic attempt to save them
selves.
Captain John Berwin. who lost his
life in saving the life of Mrs. B. D..
Barlow of Los Angeles, was one OF the
first of the firemen to climb into the
burning building. Ascending to the
seventh floor on scaling ladder he
stumbled upon the unconscious form
Of Mrs. Barlow. The aged woman
had CROPPED her way to the stairway
only to succumb to the smoke.
Swapping the limp body to his
back. Berwin pushed out onto the win
dow ledge to carry his burden down
the ladder. Between the seventh and
sixth floors the strap broke. Bending
over to balance the body OF the wo.
man moment the fireman leaned
forward at the risk of his life and,
gathering himself for a supreme ef-
fort, hurled the woman toward a pro
jecting ledge on the floor below.
Mrs. Barlow had been revived by
the cold air, and she grasped the pro-
lection and held on. In making the
throw Captain Berwin lost his balance
and was dashed to his death on the
pavement below. Mrs. Barlow was
rescued by another fireman.

see that 1t was enforced. Within a
few minutes they had visited the open
gambling houses, and the proprietors
of the latter had obeyed the order.
