SCIATICA CURED AFTER TWENTY
 YEARS OF TOR rURE.

For more than twenty years J. B. Massey, of 1922 Clinton St., Minneapo- lis, Minn., was tortured by sciatica. The pain and suffering which he en- dured during this time is beyond con- prehension. Nothing gave him any permanent relief until he used Cham berlain's Pain Balm. One application of that liniment relieved the pain and made sleep and rest possible, and less than one bottle has effected perman- ent cure. If troubled with sciatica or rheumatism why not try 25-cent bot. tie of Pain Balm and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain. For sale by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; w. N. Hurd, Long Hill; A. B. Blakeman, Botsford;. s. J. Parks, Trumbull.

NOT IF AS RICH AS ROCKEFELLER

If you had all the wealth of Rocke- feller, the Standard Oil magnate, you could not buy a better medicine for bowel complaints than Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The most eminent physician cannot prescribe better preparation for collie and 'diarrhoea, both for children and adults. The uniform success of this remedy has shown it to be superior to all others. It never fails, and when reduced with water and sweetened, is pleasant to take. Every family should be supplied with it. Sold by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; w. N.

When case is appealed to the

be removed from the court chambers.
AS many cases nave been appealed to
the supreme court in which weapons
have been presented as evidence. the
court chambers are crowded with
such relics, as there Is no suitable
place in which to keep them.
A vault, unused for other purposes,
is filled with guns, revolvers, clothing,
miniature freight cars and locomo-
tives to represent the trains which
caused the death of men, women and
children, razors, bridges in miniature.
This vault is now filed and the hooks
and corners of the courtroom proper
are being used.
To preserve these CHASTITY memen-
toes as required by law, the court Is
planning to ask for special appropri.
alton for the construction of a cham.

RUNS SEVEN MILES ON TIES.
Train Jumps the Track Without At
tracing Attention Of Crew.

Bakersfield, Cal.--The Southern Pa:
cific has made a new record for rapid
transit. A light engine coming down
the Tehachapi mountain ran seven
miles on the ties before the engineer
and fireman awoke to the fact that
they were not travelling according to
schedule.
Trainmen are loyal to each other.
They tell no tales and one mans mis-
take never forms food for gossip, but
enough has leaked out to warrant the
statement that this engine travelled
seven miles on the ties before the
crew awoke to the fact.
A wrecking crew was called out
and it took good many hours to
drive the spikes and replace the ties
which the flying wheels had torn
loose.
The accident happened between
Rowan and Bealville about daylight,
and fortunately but one train was de-
layed. The owl had already passed,
but No. 7 was caught and held up
nearly IL hours. 1t was due to arrive
at Kern at 7:45 o'clock in the morn
ing, but did not pull in until $50
o'clock in the evening. Santa Fe
train 107 was also delayed by the ac-
cident.

Will Become Modern Apart

Lynn, Mass.--A famous old house

For 60 years the one-time home of
Jeanne Margaret Davenport, the fam

stone Park, Lynn. was where literary
and dramatic folk gathered; now it is
being torn to pieces to be remodeled
into the modern, though distinctly
plebeian, apartment house.
When Jeanne Margaret Davenport
lived there, way back in 1861, it was
a stately pile of gray stone, fashioned
after the French style Of architecture.
There was a French balcony and
quaint French windows, and there was
The long line of sea outside, and the
acres of rolling land and shrubs and

And there were seven fireplaces-

lonS library, Will HIS uOSIeSS just
across and friends all about him, he
quietly repeated an allegorical little
poem about the House Of the Seven
Fires"-a poem which has been lost
track of, even by the friends who
heard it.
Jeanne Davenport married Gen
Lander, Of Lynn, and there were gath.
srings of note in the graystone house,
which looked out at Kings Beach and
the sea.
Mrs. Lander entertained Edwin
Booth James Russell Lowell. Wendell

many other notable literary and dra'

was fond of Washington social life
but she was still more fond of the lit.

many years abroad she came back to

GIANT TURTLES FOR NEW YORK.
Aquarium Obtains Five Large Alisa.
tor Snappers.

New York.-The aquarium has late.
ly received from New Orleans five big
swapping turtles OF the species com.
monty known as giant snappers, or
alligator snappers tMacroclemmys
temminckD, biggest Of all fresh water
turtles. The giant snapper is peculiar
to the region of the lower Mississippi
river.
These FIVE big snappers average
about 20 pounds IN weight. The
largest of them weighs 81 pounds and
measures four feet two inches in
length from tip to tip.
The giant snapper has a long tail
and disproportionately big head 1t
is an ugly looking creature. and as
dangerous, in fact, as it Is ugly in ap.
pearance, for 1t has extremely power
full jaws. A big snapper of this kind
could break mans leg or bite a
broom handle in two: such snapper
has been known to bite piece out
OF an inch plank
The giant snapper subsists largely
on fish and young ducks. 1t is itself
edible.
There is in the aquarium a mounted
specimen of this species that weighed
LOG pounds and measures four feet
seven inches in length. In the Ma
tional museum at Washington there is
mounted specimen of the giant snap.
per which weighed 155 pounds, its
length being five feet four inches.
Recently added to the aquarium S
exhibits are ID sea horses, taken off
Atlantic City. the two largest of them
being each nearly six inches in length,
which is pretty large for the sea
horse OF these waters.
Small as 1t is, and often as 1t may
be seen, the sea horse is still likely to
appear as one of the most remark
able of living things. There are al.
ways people looking in at the aquari.
