Mr.. and Mrs. Tahlmeier were found
dead in their home by their daughter,
Mrs Joseph Kaul who lives in the
country east of Saginaw, and who
came for a visit The post-mortem

ton from carbonic acid gas, presum-
ably from a coal stove, the magazine
of which was clogged.

Friday night, the 9TH, when they were
last seen alive.
Mrs. Raul found her father lying on
his back in bed, undressed and appar-
emily sleeping Mrs. Tahlmeier, partly
dressed and with a blanket thrown
over her shoulder, was kneeling by the

meier was awakened when nearly
overcome by the deadly fumes. and

side sought to escape, but got no far
Their than to the door, sinking down
from weakness and the eXertion.

Periodic
Pains.

DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
are a most remarkable remedy
for the relief Of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
ache, or any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.

leaves the system in an ex-
hausted condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, choral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
"Tor a long time I have suffered
greatly with Spells or backdche, that
seem almost more than / can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. / have

NOT HIS LINZ

Not all men are fitted for all things.
The fact that an individual shines III
one profession is no proof that he may
adopt any career with equal success.
Rob, whose adventures are recorded
in Mr.. Whitmarsh's "The Worlds
Rough Hand" was good fellow, and
doubtless played his part in the world
with credit to himself, but he was
not born to be diver, as his eXpe-
riences show. One of the greatest dan
gers in diving is that of panic.
The quality of diver more than
any other is presence Of mind. A
Scotchman, six feet tall, by the name
of Rob, applied to me for position as
diver. He had sweetheart at home,
and, tempted by the high wages, was
anxious TO learn the business. One
time, when work was slack, let him
go down.

screwed on his face glass and sent him
under I felt him land on the bottom
and signal that all was right. Then
he walked away from the boat, paying
out most of his line. After little
he stopped, l imagined him resting, and
thought he was doing remarkably well.
All at once I noticed dark, bladder
like object floating mt some distance
from the boat At first I thought it
was turtle. Something made me
look at it more carefully, and then
| began to haul the line. The turtle"
was Rob. AS he drew nearer we could
hear him screaming his loudcst inside

unscrewed the escape-valve and hauled
him on deck All the time he was cry
ing, "Lct me OUT
When Rob came to his senses, we
learned that he had become frightened
lest his dress should burst. and had
screwed the escape-valve the wrong
way, keeping in the air instead of let
ting it escape. He lost his presence of
mind altogether, and fell down. The
confined air accumulated in the bulk
lest part of the dress and flOatcd him.
The second attempt Rob made as
diver nearly cost him his life. He
made the very same mistake with the
valve. Then. craZed by fear, he began
to unscrew his face glass. Fortunately
for his sweetheart, he lost conscious.
ness before he got it off. He was de-
'riouS for some hours after we had
hauled him up. We decided he was
not fit for Il diver, and that his road
to fortune lay in some other direction.

Author of Leather Stocking Tales.

He had little systematic education.
His character was developed and
affirmed before his mind was either
trained or stored. His taste natu-
rally suffered. Taste is the product
of tradition, and of tradition he was
quite independent, quite ignorant.
Fortunately, he was also ignorant
of its value, and when at thirty he
began to produce literature his
energy was unhampered by diff
dence. But it was inevitable that
the literature he produced should be
extremely unliterary, and noticeabTy
so in proportion to its power. His
talent was not distinctly literary
talent. He had not even tincture
of bookishness. Of the art of litera-
ture he had perhaps never heard. 1t
was quite possible in his day-singu-
lar as it may seem in ours-not to
hear of it, He left school early and
was a sailor, a man of business, a
gentleman of more or less leisure
enough, at all events, to encourage
a temperament that was aristocratic
and critical, and not in the least
speculative, adventurous, and aes-
thetic. From Cooper" by w. c..
