ed of killing her husband as the climax
Of drunken quarrel by stabbing him
to death with a knife at their home in
Buxton He was cut in seventeen
places. Mr.. Woodson stated to the

own knife which he had purposely
sharpened for the fight, but that after
a desperate struggle she wrested it
from him and in self defense fought
him off until he sank exhausted to the

GAMBLING WITH DEATH.
What Many Of Us Arc Doing Three
Times a Day.

Times a 0dys
For everything we get something IS
taken away. Every act pulls two
ways. Some men in power dole out
their souls for 1t. They can't have soul
and power at the same time.
And so, in this quickliving age,
most of us can't have energy and
health at the same time. One or the
Other must be lost. and it is usually
health.
We know we are doing wrong and
would like to reform, but we have
morbid fear of being laughed at If we
aim to live and eat according to con-
science and good sense.
Some Of us break away for awhile
and enslave ourselves to diet. We
read about the hardy Scotsman being
fed on porridge and oatcake, making
soldiers of muscle and dash, and how
Caesars army was fed on corn. But
the diet don't last long. We quickly
swing back into the great line, eating
and drinking to fulness like the rest.
eating anything and everything, at
any time. and any way we find 1t. We
say what Is a stomach for if 1t isn't
to obey the palate"
But there is really no one rule ap-
r,licable to everybody's stomach. What
enc man may eat another may not.
But the dyspeptic should remember
that the death list has a dark shadow
lowering over it with a long bony
finger pointing to "died Of heart dis
ease" Physicians will tell US that
there are few cases Of heart disease
that do not come from a stomach de-
langement.
At every meal we may be brewing
for ourselves after a terrible case Of
dyspepsia. 1t may come upon US after
breakfast tomorrow morning, or after
that oyster supper tomorrow night.
Acute Indigestion means that you
have even chances for death or life.
That's the gamble you are taking. That
precious gastric juice decides as a
rule, whether you continue to live or
not.
Therefore, if you feel your food lies
like a dump Of lead" on your stomach,
beware! Your gastric juice is weak.
1t can't dispose of the food in time to
prevent fermentation. Take some
thing that will do it effectively, and
at once. Take Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the most powerful tablets in
the world for the relief of all kinds OF
stomach trouble, nausea, indigestion,
the worst cases Of dyspepsia. fermen-
tation, bloaty feeling, sourness, heart
burn and brash.
One grain of an ingredient of these
tablets will digest 5000 grains Of food.
Your stomach needs rest at once.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will relieve
your stomach of more than two thirds
of the work it has to do, digesting
perfectly whatever food there is in
your stomach.
You can't do your work well, or be
cheerful, or have energy or vim or am
bition, when your stomach is bad.
Make yourself feel good after hearty
meal, feel good all over, clear your
mind and make you enjoy life. by TAX
ing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Give your stomach a rest, so 1t can
right itself, then you need fear moth
ing. You can get these tablets any
where for so cents a package.

SPOT LIGHT ON ALDRICH.
rKansas City Star.l

Senator Bailey Of Texas turned a
"spot light" on Senator Aldrich Of
Rhode Island yesterday. There are
moments in the development of every
drama when even the hero and the
heroine must yield the center Of the
stage to the heavy" and uncomfort-
able moments he finds them. With
the spot light turned full upon him he
is seen at his worst, just as the hero
or heroine, under similar circum-
stances, is seen at his or her best.
Mr.. Aldrich has never liked the
limelight. He has been in the senate
what Mr.. Rockefeller has been in BUSH
ness-a comparatively stealthy man.
He has sought the background rather
than the foreground. He has prefer
ence for privacy rather than publicity.
With fine sarcasm Mr.. Bailey described
him as extremely conservative" But
even a man in the background or un-
derground can be suddenly, If unwil-
lingly, brought into the glare of ex-
posure by an unexpected shifting Of
the scenes.
Aldrich, who has been regarded as a
man Of caution and cunning, made a
slip yesterday. The matter of rate
legislation was before the senate,
brought there by a democrat. Aldrich
was off guard. The usually silent
man made disparaging reference to
the democratic rate regulators. Then
the man from the biggest state in the
union reached out for the man from
the smallest state and dragged him be-
fore the senate and and before the
country. He turned the "spot light"
on him, showing him up in his true
colors. He toyed with him as
cat plays with mouse.
He tortured him with sar-
castle compliments. 1t was a sad Or
deal for the close family connection of
Rockefeller, the first reliance of the
railroads and the trusts in the senate.
And when the smiling Bailey was
through with his interesting exhibi-
ton, he mercifully permitted his vic
tim to wriggle away.
But for once Senator Aldrich Of
Rhode Island was properly "placed."

PRISONER CUTSARTERY
Christensen orte Tries to Commit
Suicide in His Cell in the Clinton
County Jail, Using Handle of Tin
Cup to Sever Artery in the Wrist.

Clinton. Feb. 16.-Beeding copiously
from deep wounds which he had in
cell of the Clinton city jail, Christians
sen Orte, aged n, an employe at the
Clinton bed spring factory, was found
by the Clinton officers, suffering from
prostration from blood loss, and APP
parently approaching a critical condi-
ton rapidly. Physicians were called at
once, a severed artery in the left wrist
of the Clinton man was repaired, and
such restoratives as were thought
liable to be beneficial were applied,
with the result that the life of the pa
tient will probably be saved.
When the officers entered the wom-
ems cell, the floor, walls and cot were
drenched with blood. The physicians
who attended Orte state that fully two
quarts of blood escaped from the
ragged wounds in his right and left
wrists which he had inflicted with a
handle wrenched from a tin cup, and a
part of an old-fashioned brassy pen
holder. Orte was still at work with
the tin cup handle when the police en-
tered his cell. Blood was pouring free
ly from the wound already inflicted and
the man was scarcely able to stand.
The wounds were haggled and irregu-
lar. extending across both wrists,
which were terribly mangled. But one
artery was pierced. The surgeons at
once probed for the artery and pre-
vented the further loss of blood thru
the orifice in the wrist. Had they not
appeared on the scene when they did.
Orte would undoubtedly have bled to
death within few minutes, as his sys-
tenn could not have withstood a further
loss of the life fluid.
