TEN CENTS A DAY
He Tried 10 Live On, But the
Plan Failed and He
Soon DIED.

Little Rock, Ark, May % The last
chapter in a remarkable struggle against
poverty was concluded to-day when A.
S. Roberts, a jeweler, was buried at
Argenia as a city charge.
Roberts, short of funds, had tried to
live on Toe a day. He used all this
money in buying ice cream. The man
had theory that ice cream contained
more nourishment and was better for
him than any other kind of food and
clinging like a maniac to the belief, he
wasted himself to a mere shadow.
Every morning at < o'clock he would
purchase an ice cream cone for j cents.
This served as breakfast and luncheon.
At o'clock in the evening he would
purchase another cone. This was his
dinner
For several weeks Roberts subsisted
on this one diet. Too weak to do any
work, and with only few dollars AS all
his worldly possessions, he apportioned
the sum so that he could live two
months by spending not more than 10
cents any day for his food While he
was pursuing this plan be met DR.. W.
H, Arlington on the street one day.
-.." Y;ou look very thiF1, remarked" the
physician.
Yes, replied Roberts, Il am dieting
myself, am living on 10 cents a day, and
| eat only ice cream"
DIR. Arlington told him that his plan
was very foolish one, but Roberts de-
clared he knew how to take care of him
self. Roberts came to this State from
Lexington. Ky.

Father Had Had Experience.

New York, May 27.-Standing beside
the mangled body of his five-year-old
boy, who had been crushed to death by
a Brooklyn trolley car, which the mob
had overturned in its frantic efforts at
rescue, Thomas Mccormick last night
controlled his grief while he begged the
maddened crowd not to harm the mo-
torman.
Dramatically the father told the
crowd that he, too, had been through
the same tragic experience only little
time before; that he, while driving an
ice wagon, had run over and killed a
little boy, and had been beset by mob
crying for vengeance.
Il was not to blame, cried the dis
tracted father, "and it may be this poor
fellow is equally blameless.
Stilled by the fathers words, the
crowd turned over the motorman I'M
harmed to a policeman.

ing best prices; there is little or no
excuse for one not to join the army
Of money-makers.
The first and safest investment to
make is to become a reader of the
CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, the greatest
and most reliable newspaper in the
United States. With the facts, truth
and information cleaned from its col.
umns, one may become well qualified
to reach out and secure his share Of
profit that always accrues from invest
ments intelligently made.
The WEEKLY ENQUIRER costs but
one dollar for one years term. The
SUNDAY ENQUIRER costs you two dol.
lars for year. The DAILY ENQUIRER
Il issues a week. you get for fourteen
dollars a year.
Without the aid of a first.class
newspaper, success in any enterprise
becomes problematical. For ten cents
