CHICAGO, Nov. 24-Claims of a man,
now resident of Chicago, who makes
the amazing assertion that he is the
disinherited son of Emperor William /,
of the German empire, grandfather of
the present kaiser, were laid before
Herr Won Viewer, the imperial German
consul today in the form of an affi-
davit.
Consul Won Viewer will forward today
to his imperial master the report of the
Chicagoan's representation though he
makes light OF them officially
The 'pretender" is Carl Coler, who
lives at Ana North Clark street. lie
declared. that Emperor Wilhelm must
recognize him and provide for him as
BELTS royalty,
Coler is ffty-eight years old, OF dis
tinguished appearance and polished
manners. In setting forth his claims
he points to his remarkable resem-
blanee in features and mannersms to
the Hohenzollern family
He says that he has been cast off by
his three brothers, all men of the high
est note IN his native country, after he
had consented to exile himself that the
scandal which, he alleged, Is linked
with his parentaBe, might be shrOuded
and the name OF king be shielded.

LAQUIN, Pa, Nov. 24.-The black

in the neighborhood of Wellsgrove
Junction, two cubs got to nosing around
a hand truck on a lumber road and
started the thing down grade, one of
the bears on top of it. That bear had
a sad fall and a roll among the rocks

Between Wheelerville and Grover,
one midday last week, a bear frightened

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In Pre-.
serving Health and Beauty
Costs Nothing to Try

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestlnes and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegeta bles.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth snd further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptic IN tablet form or rather
In the form of large. pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible
harm can result from th continued
use, but, on the contrary, great bene-

Served in the Army
I went to Cuba in the United States

aside for a time for the more strenu-
Gus duty of serving my country against
the Spaniards Upon my return from
Cuba L performed a hanging test to
satisfy some of the medical profession
that man could really be hung under
hypnotic control. The controversy in
regard to this arose as result of the
hanging of a man named Painter.
Painter had been a hypnotic subject
and some people claimed that he had
been hypnotized by hypnotist named
Barnes, who saw him just before the
moose was pulled To satisfy them
selves as to the truth or fallacy of this
theory the physicians sent for me and
asked If l would agree to submit to q
hanging test. l agreed and as l knew

my preparations.
/ had an arrangement made of piano
steel wire fitting around my legs, waist
and chest, and reaching to the back of
my neck, where it was fastened with
a snap. About two feet from the end
of the rope we placed a hook where it
could not be seen, and after the COM
mittee had tied the rope around my
neck the hypnotist came up to me, ap-
parently for the purpose of hypnotizing
me, but in reality to insert the hook
in the snap. The barrel on which | was
standing was kicked from under me
and L hung there for about ten min
utes, during which time my pulsa-
ton and respiration We're constantly
taken by the physicians. The rope
was cut and | was lowered to the
ground.
Removes Apparatus
The professor released the hook and
placed the rope in his pocket, saying
that he would keep it as souvenir OF
the occasion. ] went to a dressing
room and got rid of the apparatus. II
was fortunate that l did so, for nc
sooner had l returned to the room in
which the supposed hanging had taker

was handed to him was not the one he
received. for the professor had pro

another rope. While the committee was

The hardest catalepsy test hav,

Main street where a freight train was
switching in the yard. The colt did
not seem to mind the train at all
When facing ii. but when he turned

about the toss of the colts head that

emergency was not long in coming.
the colt reared straight up in the air

kicking himself free and In about
three minutes he had rid himself of
everything in the world but his
bridle and his masters company.
