The stumbling, logged walk, into
which he fell, led him he knew not
where.
Some time later in the evening,
hearty voice awoke him to a sense of
his surroundings. 1t was that of Bill
hngs, newspaper friend. What was
he doing way over here on Cherry
street at this hour on such a night,
when he might be snug at home with
the prettiest little woman in town?
AS for himself, o, he had just writ

Well, he must say good night and

Cherry street. Suicide. No. AZ? A
sob burst from his throat, his chin
dropped to his breast. The drug had
done it's work! The secret was no
longer his! The discriminating phial

Now that he had heard what he

ness he discerned group of police,
with g. wagon at the curb before No.
Al. The door was slammed and lock-
ed by man who ran quickly down
the steps, and all entered the vehicle,
which disappeared into the darkness.
Mechanically Bagley entered the
gate, and, passing to one side, reached
the rear, and stumbled over what
seemed to be a small pile of rubbish
recently deposited by the police who
had just left.
His abrupt movement, in recover
ing his balance, dislodged his hat, and
the light of the match he used to re-
cover it fell on the rubbish pile. Sew
eral bottles, such as contain drugs,
lay in sight, many of them labeled
Morphine or Laudanum. The coroner
had spoken Of these two! One bottle
at his feet caught his eye, and he
took it into his hand as the match
fell to the ground.
His whole figure became rigid as
he read the label, but not with the

burned and blistered his finger-tips,

IN AN ICEBERG PRISON.
Marvellous Play of CoIors on Sides of
the Ice Mountains.

We had scarcely taken dozen
strokes when we discovered ourselves
to be in the midst of plunging fleet
of icebergs. Observing an opening be-
tween two bergs that we concluded
must lead to open water, we pulled
through it.
A sea rolled UP, the opposing sides
of the bergs came together with
crash that shook tons of ice into the
sea- The next moment found us COM
pletely surrounded by some dozen
enormous icebergs, held together by
their cohesive force.
The white and abrupt walls that
hemmed us in were at first but dimly
perceived; but gradually the interior
Of our ice prison became clear of all
vapor, and we saw that the bases OF
the bergs were marked by sharp,
shelving projections that slashed into
the water with the whirling move
ment of mammoth reapers; and by
long, deep gorges into which the sea
launched itself with a sullen lunge.
Along their SUBMITS stood thous-

WHAT TO EAT.
Why Fried Foods Arc Considered In,
dioestible.


Why are fried foods considered indi.
gestiblc? Because the fat in which
the frying is done, no matter of how
good quality that fat may be, forms
thin coating over each particle of food
so fried. Now, neither the digestive
fluids of the mouth nor those of the
stomach can act upon fat and so the
fat incrusted food cannot be diecstc,i.
Fats are digestcd only by certain
agent known rs steapsin which meets

SALES ARE ENORMOUS.
Cooper Preparations Leading Topic in Cincinnati
Callers at Young Mans Headquarters
Interviewed.

Cincinnati, o., April 30. The most
interesting feature of the enormous
sale of the Cooper preparations, now
going on in this city, is what the med
icines are actually accomplishing
among the people of Cincinnati.
At the commencement of his visit
here Mr.. Cooper prophesied that dur
ing the latter part of his stay he would
receive hundreds of callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what the
preparations had done. He also stated
that stomach trouble is the foundation
for a great many diseases and that his
New Discovery, as it Is called, would
prove very effective in all cases of rheu-
matism simply by getting the stomach
in working order.
That this prophecy has been fulfilled
cannot be doubted after a half hour
spent at the young mans headquarters
listening to what his callers have to
say.
A reporter, who watched to ascer
tain, if possible, some light on the rea
sons for the immensity of Cooper
success interviewed about twenty oI
his callers yesterday afternoon. The
statements made by those seen indi
cate that physicians who claim that
Cooper is merely passing fad, have
not looked into the facts.
Some of these statements were al
follows: Miss Sallie Middietown living
at 1857 Central Av., upon being ques
toned said:

been for a long time. [ have come
here to thank Mr. Cooper for what he

The statement of Mrs. NJ. E. Emer-
son living at $50 W. Court St., was as
follows:

said; 81 have been a sufferer with
