With the theory that himan health

a medicine which he says proves this
theory, l.. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during tae past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands.

The sale Of this medicine has now

TELL OF MANY THEFTS
Witness In cantonwine Case Tells Of
Methods Employed to Detect Thefts
Of Cash Made From Bosch Bros

S4tos
Most of the Thursday afternoon ses-
sion of the Cantonwine case was de-
voted to the establishing Of the fact
that daily thefts Of cash were made
from the Bosch Bros store at Van
cleve during the days just preceding
April 8, when Bosch Bros. demanded
of DR.. Cantonwine that he pay the firm
a large sum Of money, which they al
lege he stole.
B. 7. Millhouse, a member OF the
firm of Millhouse Bros, who owned
the business and sold it to Bosch
Bros. was the principal witness. His
testimony was relative to the meth
cd employed in detecting the thefts.
He said that the firm kept O daily
record Of all money that was put IN
the safe each morning for a week prior
to April 8, and that on five OF these
six DAYS the numbers of all bills put
in the safe were kept, and that none
OF the members of the firm or the
clerks went to the safe or took money
from it unless accompanied by one of
the owners of the store or one OF the
clerks. They all took turns watching
the safe during business hours, but in
spite of their precautions, during the
six days $s5.75 was stolen from the
safe. He said all Of the employees of
the store knew Of this arrangement
except DR.. Cantonwine. Two days be-
fore April he said holes were bored
in the ceiling, thru which members
OF the firm watched the safe during
those two days.
Mr.. Millhouse said that all the store
employees but DR.. Cantonwine knew
Of this plan to spy on the safe. Dur
ing the time that the safe was being
watched so closely DR.. Cantonwine was
suspected. Millhouse said that he had
never seen DR.. Cantonwine take money
from the safe during the time that he
was set to watch 1t.
His cross examination ELECTED little
additional information, and his redirect
examination was taken up this morn
ing.
Vessel Bosch, one of the members
Of the firm, was put on the stand this
morning. He told of boring the holes
in the ceiling over the safe and of
watching thru them. With him was
one of the Tigges brothers, and while
watching thru the holes they saw DR..
Cantonwine go to the safe and take a
bill from the pocketbook in which the
money was kept.
Peter Bosch, another member of the
firm, followed his brother. His ex-
animation during the morning was in
regard to the conducting Of the BUSH
ness 1t was not concluded when ad-
journment was taken for lunch.

' MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. It keeps the feminine organs
in strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom it is most eff
cient. It carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette,
Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
IT suffered severely with pain every
month and also pain in my left side. Ny

about 60 per cent of the silver circu-

German silver thalers worth 60

until the mint was established. In
the fall of 1856 the banks refused to
take any foreign coins except at a
heavy discount. The result was that
in few months all foreign coin disap-
peared. /; 1t proved a bonanza for the
saloon people. They would give a
drink for franc, while the banks
gave only 1212 cents. The saloon peo.
pie gathered them and the rupees in
at old prices and sold to the banks for
bullion and made a good thing.
But for a few years we suffered
badly for silver change. Even until
1856 gold dust circulated to consid-
cradle extent in mining districts. But

MickeyFiinn's
Big Fire
Cracker
The explosion that wound up the
Fourth of July Celebration
on Cooney Island.

Two mammoth firecrackers stood in
the window of Casey's grocery. They
were IL inches long and proportion
ately thick.
For month before the Fourth of
July these gigantic indicators of en-
thusiasm had stood in the window like
British soldiers on dress parade, while
predatory spider hung filmy ham
mock between them and~calmly killed
his buzzing victims over two powder
mines.
The firecrackers were the admira-
tion and the envy of all the boys in
Cooney Island. 1t was seldom that a
youthful nose was not f1attened against
the window pane in ardent covetous-
ness.
But the price demanded by Casey
for the thunderers was prohibitive, so
far as the boys were concerned, and
there was not one Of them patriotic or
courageous enough to invest Is cents
in single ecstatic explosion
Said Mickey Finn timidly one even
ing when he had been sent by his
mother to get a quarter of pound Of
tea and half pound of pork:
"Mr. Casey, I suppose now, that
whin wan O. thin big fellows wint off
it would blow the stars out of the
sky?" his mind filled with blissful
thoughts of mighty explosions.
Casey stopped measuring out a half
pint of New Orleans molasses, raised
a monitor finger, and replied:
"Micky, my boy, I'd be afeerd to tell
you what would happen if I stood wan
o thin big fellows out on the side
walk and touched the stem wild the

A minute passed and another, until
Mickey could stand the strain no long
er. He reached down and lifted the
firecracker from beneath the chair.
AS he held it up in the moonlight
to examine it, mosquito lit upon his
fathers nose and the old gentleman
awoke. Grabbing the firecracker from
his sons hand he arose and holding it
aloft, he said:
Boys, there will be no explosion
tonight. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
l was Altered that Mickey might do
some harrum wild that big cracker, so
whin he wasn't lookin' this afternoon
took the powder out of it and filled
it wild clay. So, you see that the show
is over, and ye may as we'll go home
and go to bed. There'll be no more
explosions only what I give Mickey
wild shingle afore I turn in. Good
night to We all. Come around some
other night whin there is somethin'

FIRST MONEY IN CALIFORNIA
Queer Early coinage-D. o. Mills Is
sued First Paper Money.

Coins in California till the fall of
1856 were queer kettle of fish. More
than 60 per cent. of the silver and at
least rs per cent. of the gold was for
eign.
Most of the other gold coins we're
private coins. Moffit & Co. got a per-
nit from the government to coin gold.
Their coinage was confined to ten and
20 cents and were stamped "Mofit &
Co."
We had all kinds of doubloons and
similar South and Central Ameri-
can coins. OF the smaller gold coins
the French 20-franc piece led all the
others.
The English guinea was fairly rep.
resented. But it passed for only it's
face value, while the other gold passed
for more. The 20-franc piece, value
1915, went at four dollars.
There was still greater discrep-
ancy in the silver coins. A one-franc
piece went for Is cents, and the East
India rupee, value. As cents: went for

SYMPATHY FOR THE FISH.
Upton SincIair's Amazing Parable on
Charity of the Rich.

Upton Sinclair, in an address before
body of Chicago Socialists, said Of
charity:
"The average charity, the charity Of
the rich, seems rather futile to me.
The rich oppress the poor enormously,
then they help them slightly. 1t is
like the young lady angler.
"'Why,' said a man to this young
lady, do you always carry a bottle of
liniment with you on your fishing ex-
cursions?'
She sighed.
"I am sorry she said plaintively,
for the poor little fish. And so, when
take one off the hook, I always rub
its cut mouth with some liniment.' 8"
