Attorney Cobb then made his first at
tempt to block the proceedings by de-
claring that a full board was necessary
TO carry on the case. and that the alb
sence of DR.. Oliver Atwood. who is i'll.
made proceeding with the trial impossible.
This plea was overruled by the board.
Mr. Cobb then signihed his intention
Of Withdrawing his client from the room
and allowing the board to proceed with
out Cardoz0 For a moment the board
was cOnfounded but DR.. Everman re-
minded Mr. Cobb that Cardozo was an
employee of the schools and his presence
was required by the board of education.
At this juncture Mrs. Massey suggested
that the arrival of Stuart Mcnamara. at
torney for the board, be awaited. When
ne arrived his first word was the sug-
gestion that they wait for Mr.. Davis.
This vas agreed 10, and an hour was
wasted.
In the meanwhile Mr.. Cobb had been
talking to Attorney Davis on the tele-
phone, and he returned 10 the room with
the intelligence that MI Davis could not

How to Cure
 Your Piles

If sufferers from piles and rectal dis eases would first try reliable laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin instead of using external salves and supposi- tories, or having an operation performed, they would save themselves world of trouble, expense and pain. The reason
 is that in nine cases out of ten piles are the result of habitual constipation, and when once the constipation is thoroughly cured the piles disappear
 Piles are to constipation what pim-
 pies are to bad blood, simply an out
 ward symptom. And just as face lotions
 aren't half as good for pimples as good
 blood medicine. so salves and suppositories
 aren't half as good for piles as reliable iaxa. tive like Dr. Caldwell's SyrupPepsln.
 A 50 cent or Sl bottle will prove these claims. and every druggist Is authorized to guarantee results. Hundreds of people have written us that Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsn Is the best pile cure they know of, and It is surely worth trial from you. Not only will 1t cure the piles but 1t will permanently correct bowel trouble so that you will have regular movements. It will tone the stomach and make digestion easy for you. Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin Is the best rem edy for constipation. dyspepsia. biliousness. f1atulency, and all resultant troubles, such as piles, arising from disordered stomach, liver or bowels. It's gentle action and pleasant taste make 1t especially suited to children and all who and gripping powders and tablets. A physic is not what pile sufferers need. but steady. easy bowel movements. and these can be obtained by the use of this wonderful remedy. It brings
 about permanent home cure at minimum of expense.

A MUSICAL THIEF.
Plays the Piano Like Master and His
 Pal Loots the House.

From the New York Times.
 Brooklyn ambled out Into the lime light recently with another novelty in the burglary line. This time it is a virtuoso of the jimmy and skeleton key-a housebreaking Paderewski.
 The musical burglar began to get around on Saturday night not long since, but the fact of his existence did not become public until some time later. The home of John F. Harris, a school principal, at 454 Seventh street, was the first to be honored by visit from him. Mir Harris, his family and their maid were away when he called. lie was accompanied by pal. who, so far as is known was just a common, everyday sort of burglar, with no musi- cal talent.
 Now, in the parlor of the Harris home is fine piano. Soon after the burglars entered the house the neigh bors began to hear the piano. The burglar had raised front window that the music might be heard better out side. It soon appeared to the listening neighbors that a master at the keys was calling upon the Harris family.
 He began with Mendelssohn's Wed ng March," playing it with a tech nique and expression which were a revelation to Seventnh street. Then he swung smoothly in Thomas Mig non," bringing out, to the delight of his hearers, all the grace and delicacy of the music Then, after dashing off W9gner's Kaiser March," the Josef Hcfman of the dark lantern swung unfalteringly into the popular smusic

of "Il Trovatore." Several girls who were sitting on a stoop across the way were so delighted with the music that tAey clapped their hands in applause.
 While the burglar Paderewski was giving his classical programme at the piano, to the great entertainment of the neighborhood his pal was busy ransacking every drawer and closet in the house. When he appeared in the parlor with his loot of jewellery and money in his pockets, the musical member ofst combination wound up his performance with Good Night, Beloved, Good Night" and the two walked out
 As the burgalrs were departing they encountered the maid employed by the family coming in. She screamed, and they dashed down the street, disap- bearing around the corner. When MT. Harris and his wife returned they found that the two had stolen jewelry and money amounting to $250.

 So saying the director produced 1t from his desk and read:
 CT was proceeding steadily down the grade at thirty-seven miles an hour. It was a pitch dark night as l ran through the Saranda jungles.
 ..Immedately after I had crossed the Karo bridge I felt a violent opstructlVe shock. I tried to reverse and put on my brakes. My engine kept the rails at first, but a few seconds later she was blowing her way through the loose granite, and proyidentially stopped short on the very lip of a bank forty-five feet high.
 .It was most fortunate that heavy rains had been falling and the way was very soft. So my engine had no sooner left the track than she was plunged up to her ankle in soft earth and loose stones.

The Early Morning Hour.
n inc Ohio State Journal.

From the Ohio State Journal.
 It Is said New York city proposes to eliminate the luncheon and move the breakfast down to the 12 m. period, and thus have two meals day. Good enough idea, except there is no sense in the lie abed breakfast al noon. What person wants is to put the morning into his life the hour of beauty, and hope and high thinking.
 Let him get up ane eat his toast, his bacon, his eggs, his lamb chops, his fried potatoes and drink his coffee. and then go out and, facing the sun as he peeps over the horizon, exclaim. Good morning. sir" Then one takes hold of the zest of life and catches step with the music of the spheres That hour makes the day, 1t makes the life and puts lots of eternity into active capital.

the spot where our enemy had rolled over the bank after the tremendous impact.
 These heavy jungles are full of wild elephants and the big tusker who att tackled us was evidently an outcast rogue, a fellow of bad temper, such as those that terrorize the villages, lying up in dense jungle by day and coming out only at night to feed and destroy houses and human life
 Tt did not take much search to find him. He lay, a monstrous inert mass, among the tangled wet undergrowth, and his mighty weight-perhaps six tons-fall- ing nearly fifty feet, had driven @ vast hole in the soft earth. One hind leg had been cut off and there were three severe injuries to the head and shoulders.
 .'I judged that the big tusker, angered by our approaching lights and the general uproar of the train, had stood full In the track and indeed had charged down upon us, only to secure terrific stroke, which struck him dead. He punished us pretty severely, however, for he had done dam age to the extent of 14,000 rupees at least.
 q sent word back to Goilkera, six mileD away. and we soon had gang of recruits at work the damaged train. We chopped out the fallen monsters tusks and made over the carcass to the semi- savage Khols."

ELEPHANT AND TRAIN IN DUEL.
Fight to the Death On Railway In
 India.

London Correspondence Philadelphia
 North American.
 A visitor in the London offices of the Chota-Nagpur Railroad of India the other day noticed big framed picture in an obscure corner. It seemed different from others on the walls, which were mere de- signs of bridges and locomotives, with plans and gradients on blue linen.
 He walked over and beheld six photo- graphs seeming to tell an interesting story They were mounted together in one large frame. The visitor could see an elephant and a train off the track.
 Here" he thought, ''is something worth Investigating I'll ask one of the directors about it."
 He did so, and this Is the story the di- rector told;
 We are humdrum people" he said, and care little for matters outside our freight of sugar and cotton, silk and tim Der and pilgrims. But those photographs record an unusual event.
 "One September night the up mail left Chakardharpore for Nagpur at S20 There is a big railroad community here, and the train was well found in every respect.
 'There were three or four passenger coaches, and some freight cars full of grain, olseeds, stone. lime, lac, hides, silk. cocoons and sabhoi grass. There were also a few pilgrims on their way to Pur1. the city of Juggernaut-chiefiy fighting Khols.
 All went we'll until Goilkera station was passed at 9:15. This is one of our principal timber exporting stations, es- pecially for railroad sleepers.
 Between Goilkera and Manharpur sla- tions our line enters a district known as Saranda of the Seven Hundred Hills. These hills form the watershed between the rivers Brahminee and Subanrika.
 ''They are heavily timbered ana the whole country is as wild as it can be. It is, in fact. one vast mass of jungle, which extends almost continuously from the southern portion of the state of koon- ghur on the south to the edge or the Ranchi plateau on the north.
 -Four miles from Koilkera the line, as you can see on that map over there, passes through the Saranda tunnel, and beyond this is a paradise of big game elephant, tiger, bear, bison, spotted deer and sombhur. From the tunnel the grade is 1 in 100 downward to the karo river,
