GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE.
Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful
Possibilities.

There was travelling man." said
the night operator, whose wife Pre-
sented him with son while he was
out drumming up trade. The doctor
got the mans address, and, since his
wife was doing none too we'll, wrote
out . message giving him the news
and telling him to return.
THE doctor gave the message to
the cook, who couldn't read. She
forgot to send 1t, and the next day the
drummer came home Of his own &C.
cord.
HE stayed day or two, found his
wife doing all right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing, as 1t hap
pened, was said about the forgotten
telegram.
And at the end Of the week tho
telegram was remembered BY the
cook. With an exclamation OF horror
you know she couldn't read-she
hurried to the office and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got 1t that night he was terrified.
What he read was this: .2
"'Another additional son: your
wife very i'll; return at once
HE took the midnight train for
home He was like man In q trance.
Another he kept muttering In .
dazed voice. Impossible!'
"On getting home he was 50 reliev.
ed when everything was explained to
him that he decided not to fire the
cook, after all"

my son. who is now twenty-five
years Of age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on

he was nearly covered. We had all

terrible, and the doctors said 1t was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered. all but his feet. I had to

Lynchburg,va., Nov. s0.-Samuel
Spencer, president of the Southern
Railway company, and recognized as
one of the foremost men In the devel.
opment Of the southern states, and
six other persons were killed and
eleven hurt at 6:10 o'clock last even.
Ing In rear end collision between
two fast passenger trains ten miles
south Of Lynchburg and mile north
OF Lawyers depot. Philip Schuyler,
retired capitalist of New York, was
among the killed, together with other
guests Of Mr.. Spencer. Only Mr..
Spencer's private secretary, =. A..

the three porters survived the acct

in hospital here.
An unknown person whose head
and limbs were burned off short, who
is believed to be the third porter on
the private car, is missing. His
name cannot be learned.
Z. A. Merrill, New York City, pri.
vate secretary to President Spencer,
lad his head and arms badly burned,
but will recover.
The collision was between the Jack.
sonville express and the Washington
and southwestern vestibuled limited,
both south bound.
President Spencer and his entire
party, as far as is known, were sleep.
ing when the collision occurred, and
the probability is that all Of them,
excepting Dispatcher Davis, were
killed instantly. 1t Is certain that
life was extinct before the flames
touched them. President Spencer's
body was burned almost beyond rec
ogaition, as was that of Mr.. Fisher.
The body Of Mr.. Schuyler was taken
from under the train before 1t was
burned very much. having been singed
only slightly. President Spencer's
car was attached to the rear of the
Jacksonville train, which was stand
Iong still when 1t was struck.
President Spencer was lying direct.
ly under the big locomotive Of the
rear train. So great was the force
of the impact that the forward train
was sent at least $50 feet ahead, the
locomotive going over and upon the
body of Mr.. Spencer. Until after the
debris burned itself ont and the en-
CINE cooled off the bodies could not
be removed.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood.
It is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood if permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is in the blood
the pain will return, perhaps III new
place, but it will surely return. Dr.. Will
