Tells About the Whipping.

Mrs. Brown. who is a slight woman
with a whole lot of aggressive grit,
explained her connection with the af
fair: I just couldn't stand it any long
er. I felt that I had to do something
and 1 did it; I would do it again and
don't regret what 1 did. not for one
minute. You see this man Braden
would come by the store and look in
just in a way as if he were gIorying
over his victory. He would come past
here when he had no occasion to, three
and four times q day and look in.
Then I understood that he made some
remarks about me from the pulpit. He
never addressed any insulting remarks
to me direct I have been trying to
run this business in quiet. decent way.
It's no joint. And I just felt that
couldn't stand to be prosecuted any
longer so I just got ready for him.
When he came by ran out and hit
him four or five times. I told him that
he ought to keep his own skirts clean
and his family's skirts and leave other
peoples alone. I told him that 1 in
tended to run my own business and
that he should tend to his. He didn't
say much. His son was with him; he
just spluttered. Nobody tried to take
a hand I have heard some stories
about the man but I don't know any
thing about them. "

MUMMY AND THE HUMMING BIRD."

$
 "The Mummy and the Running Bird" to be presented at Polls Satur- day afternoon and evening, with Will liam A. Whi.ecar, and also Henry Carl Lewis. who made such decided hit last season as Giuseppe, the organ grinder, tells the story of an episode in the life of married couple which imperilied the very existence of their domestic relations. The husband is so thoroughly Involved in his own pur- suits that he neglects his wife com pletely, not by intention, but by reason of the absorbing nature of the scien- tific researches to which he is devoted. The wife coneeives the suspicion that his neglect proceeds from lack of love for her. and this suspicion becomes a firm belief when she finds her attempts to win him away from his invest:ga- tions repulsed and fruitless. Then en- ters upon the scene a bright, entertain ing, society-loving young man, the very antithesis of the grave and studiOus husband. She has underestimated the profound love and reverence with which her husband cherishes her. He. by ready wit and cleyerness, saves her from the consequences of her thought less imprudence. Prices are %, 35, 90 and 75 cents; matinee % cents. Tele phone 116-l.

NERVES AND

Nothing But feod Will Build sircnssNeres-- Net the Food That's Eaten But That Which

A man is as strong as his stomach.
 Is 1t not strange then that persons with starved, irritable nerves should dose themselves with so-called nerve tonics," instead of going straight at the stomach for the cure?
 Well nourished nerves are stronS, calm, trustworthy.
 Nervousness is generally ner.a starvation. This is what causes irrita. bility, nervous fear and trembling. nervous indecision and disinclination to attempt anything extraordinary; nery- ors headaches tneuralgia), loss of mem cry, etc.
 The rich blood made from your food when Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tablets are taken. feeds the nerves and round about each nerve is built up. day by day, a delicate cushion or wrapper of fatty tissue that keeps 1t safe from the constant shock and irritation that thin and nervous persons experience.
 Remember. Dr Richards's Dyspep- sia Tablets do not contain any nerve food" The nerve food Is in eggs beefsteak and bread and vegetables. What Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tao lets do is to help the stomach to get this nerve food out of your ordinary everyday breakfast. dinner and sup per. Then your nerves take care of themselves and you should grow as good nstured and contented as q plump baby.

ones. The temperature Is often too dry in the American dwelling house, and many kinds of insects attack plantssin dry atmosphere. Frequent spraying helps to overcome this trouble, but when the green fly makes its appearance on the house plants it must be fought either with strong to- bacco smoke or by dipping the foliage in weak tobacco water Young shoots should be dusted with tobacco powder.
 The red spider which attacks plants if kept too dry can be got rid of by washing with a strong solution of fiI tree oil.
 Diseases arise from injudicious watering, draughts, previous attacks of insects or bad drainage.
 Mildew on the house plant is caused by sudden chills. It attacks young shoots particularly.
 When the leaves of plant turn sickly yellow. something is generally the matter with the root, and the plant should be turned out and examined. If the cause is not apparent a re- moval of the old soil. repotting in fresh and suitable soil, will effect cure.
 Roots of house plants are often found to be rotting if the plant Is al- lowed to stand in water.
 Plants most suitable for indoor blooming during the winter are. be- sides, the fern varieties, carnations. Persian violets. primulas. begonias. and many kinds of bulbous plants, such as hyacinths, narcissi. lillies, lily of the valley. etc.-N. Y. World.

 He allowed one hand to slip down over the schoolmaster's shoulder until it reached the other hand, which had drawn a small package from his pocket. This was carefully united and opened, and then held before the ,scnoolmaster's face

WHEN THE PLANTS FAIL.
Atmosphere in Our Homes Too Dry Insects Attack Plants in .
 Dry Atmosphere.

F
 The amount of pleasure derived from growing plants depends entirely on their condition. A hardy plant in tin can Is more hopeful and i'm spring sight than mighty palm with yellowing and dejected edges.
 Here are some of the reasons why plants refuse to thrive indoors:
 Plants in bloom that have been bought of florists have been forced into flower by means of artificial heat and moisture. To keep such plants they must be moistened frequently. letting the pot rest in q basin half full of water until the plant has absorbed enough water and the top layer of earth is damp. The leaves should be sprayed with a flower spray or gently washed of. according to their size.
 When the plant has not been forced watering must be adapted to its indi- vidual needs A cactus or other sue culent plant requires less water than robust foliage plants. for instance. Many of the slow-growing cactacea need hardly any water during the winter months unless they are in very warm room. Ferns. however, need to be watered and sprayed frequent ly, and the slightest neglect in this respect will do the plant great injury. The water should, if possible, be soft. Rain water, collected for the purpose. is best for ordinary use. Palms and foliage plants require spraying every other day in winter. if kept in rooms where the temperature Is high. The proper temperature of the room in which plants are to thrive should be between 65 and 70 degrees This will sufice for all plants. even tropical

PROBING AWAY BACK
Morgan Insinuates That Crom-

RAKES UP OLD ISTHMIAN TALES.
Concession to Colombia, Said the Senator, Cost 100000 LabOrers Their Lives and Money Loss
 Was S6;OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, March Civilian :, Nelson Cromwell on the stand at the investigation of canal affairs before i the senate committee on interoceanic canals was told by Senator Morgan that his testimony was not believed. A warm exchange of repartee resulted. Senator Morgan inquired concerning the financial difficulties of the old Pan anna Canal company and the exten- sions granted by Colombia to the re- ceiver and later to the new Panama Canal company. The questions partic- ularly had reference to the 100000 francs in stock set aside for Colombia in the new company in consideration of the formation of the new company.
 Mir. Cromwell said he had no part in getting that concession and after reply ing to several questions that he had no knowledge on the subject said finally:
 T can claim no credit for that"
 If there was any discredit I pre- sume you do not wish to claim it," said Mir. Morgan.
 q cannot see that there was any dis credit in the company getting an ex- tension and paying it's money for It." rejoined Mr. Cromwell. ''-"e--' alr'You don'tr asked MT. Morgan. That very extension cost 100000 lives and $6,0O0,000 in debts."
 q have seen no trace of the horrors you mention," said Mir. CroV'well.
 Returning to the history of the Pan- anna Canal company, MT. Morgan read a letter written by former president of the board of trustees of the old Panama company and took the wit ness to task for his alleged failure to remember 1t.
 "I have memory for what I can re- member. and what have not you can not make me remember" said Mir. Cromwell.
 Mir. Morgan referred to letters and telegrams sent by Mir. Cromwell to the late secretary of state, Mir. Hay, prior to the last extension by Colon Jia. The senator held these in his hand, but did not read them.
 Mir. Cromwell admitted writing the letters. but declined to say whether the communications were true. and would not say he remembered their contents. The correspondence contain ed the statement that war was about to break out in Colombia and gave evil dence that Mir. Cromwell was cogni- zant of the conditions in that republic.

LAUNDERING FLANNELS.
Full Directions How to Solve the
Difficult Problem Of Cleaning
Blankets Satisfactorily.

To launder flannels in the winter is
science. Choose sunny day, when
there is little moisture In the air, and
shake the flannels we'll to get out all
the dust possible. Then make lather
out of soft, warm water by shaving
white CASTLE or other pure soap into
the water and letting 1t melt. To this
add two tablespoonfuls of ammonia, or
one of boraX, to small tubful of suds.
1t should be quite warm, not hot. Draw
the fabric up and down and squeeze 1t
gently, never rubbing 1t either upon the
board or with the hands. Neither
should the garment be soaked in water
or rubbed with soap. Soiled spots may
be lightly rubbed with small brush.
A second tub Of water the same tenn
perature of the first must be at hand, in
which the flannel is to be plunged after
1t is squeezed from the first. Proceed In
the same manner as before. The gar
ment Is now half dry. If 1t Is freezing
cold 1t will ruin the flannel to dry 1t out
OF doors. In this case or even II 1t is not
good drying day, suspend 1t near the
heat in as dry room as possible. The
more quickly 1t dries the better.
Slow drying means fulling and stiff
ing the fabric. Old yellow fiannels may
be partially bleached by using borax
and by washing in thin -four starch wa
ter. One tablespoonful of white -four,
boiled in each quart of water, in place
of soap and rinsing in the same thin
starch will go far toward cleaning the
sallow color of the garment.
To iron flannel is a serious mistake.
It intertwines and mats the individual
hairs so that it is fulled up and there
is no way of unfulling It. In place of
ironing 1t, if flannels are hung evenly
on the line, then pulled out smoothly
and placed under such pressure as the
clothes basket, with its burden for the
next days ironing, it will be found
next morning that they are smooth
enough to please the most fastidious
and with this treatment flannel gar
ments will last almost twice as long
as if carelessly handled.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

think shall not go further than Pater-
son. There is beautiful place, a white
house in green hill that looks down
over the town, which l have always
coveted. And now have made up my
mind will buy that very house. No
house in the world, not even the great
mansion in Belfast which the letter
tells me now own, could mean the same
to me as that white house on the hill
overlooking Paterson. And now will
tell you why.
I'm the mill where used to work
could see that house all day long every
time looked up from my loom and al
lowed my eyes to wander across the
floor toward the window. Paterson, or
that region of the town where the mills
are located, is, as you know, black and
ugly place, and this white house on the
green hill always looked so beautiful
and serene and peace giving.
Il always rested my eyes upon the
green of that hill when they got tired
following the pattern of the silk web.
There is nothing like green to rest the
eyes upon when they are tired, you
know. used to look at the hillside and
at the white house, and built castles in
the air about what would do and say
and how should feel if that white house
and that green hillside were mine.
Dream Finally Realized.
"And now, all of a sudden something
has happened which makes 1t possible
for me to live in house much grander
by far. and with green gardens much
more beautiful, perhaps, than the hill
side at Paterson. Or could buy much
