to get this marvellous book is to fill
out an enclosed special mailing card,
stamp and mail it. No friend of
ours ever sent our name in to mail

tertain the suspicion that Sears, Roe

Of course the book would be worth
one cent to us just for newspaper
wrappers. but that is about all the
use we would have for it. This firm
has flooded the county during the

unless some Of our local merchants
get busy advertising in the local

probably lose some desirable patron

in the state died at his residence in
that city last night or at early hour
this morning. after brief illness of
a few days, the result of apoplexy and

excepting the late Senator German.
whose personal and political friend he
had been for years. He is the last,
ii might be said, of the great reorgan-

of his associates and eonferees in

doubt had a depressing effect upon
him, and helped 10 hasten his death.
Mr.. Rasin was a wonderfully success

charming personality, won a warm

A mere trivIality had separated
them. Just at first wounded pride
silenced her. But when days merged
themselves into years without word
or sign, her anguish increased pro

wealth Of love cemented itself in her
bonnie little five-year-old son his
father had never seen, though cog
infant of his existence.
There were times when she felt an
indescribable longing for his presence
--theK she would summon all her
dignity to her aid and strive to over
come it-but our wills are not al
ways under control, and feminine ma

Thus, she decided that concessions,
If any, must certainly emanate from
her If their embittered lives were
ever to be welded into one harmoni-
Gus whole.
So, like a thorough tactician, she
formulated her plans and resolved To
storm the citadel. Her anticipation
of victory was heightened by the en-
couraging reports of mutual friends
who assured her that his misery ex-

American Mail Bag Stolen on Boar

American Mail Bag Stolen on Board
La Provence-One Arrest.
Paris, France.-An American mail
bag, the contents of which are valued
at approximately 100000, has been
stolen. The theft occurred on board
the French Line steamer La Prov
ence, which left New York on Febru-
airy % and arrived at Havre on
March 6.
The postal authorities have placed
the affair in the hands of detectives.
A man giving the name of Butloss
was arrested here recently with
American securities to the value of
$4,000 in his possession for which
he could not account satisfactorily.
Butloss is believed to be an accom-
plice of the thieves, and to have been
attempting to negotiate the proceeds
of the robbery.

banks cash and leaving a further
shortage of $4,000.

Jones was prominent in social and
church circles, being a Sunday-school
teacher and otherwise religiously al
lied. He left wife in a hospital un-

The shortage will not inconven-
fence the bank, as it has $1,100,000
assets.

cannot be put in any legal form at
this time If 1t could it would shock

II know and so does every man
who has followed this case and who

Harry Thaw is insane at this moment,

courtroom-Jerome, Delmas, Gleason

court, Justice Fitzgerald striving to
calm the agitated advocates. In all
parts of the room excited men were
on their feet, despite the loud cries
of the attendants for order.
Surely no more dramatic picture

justice.

Attorney, raising his voice to pitch
that found the remotest corners of
the courtroom, proceeded to make
savage attack on the lawyers for the
defense.
He asserted that if certain state

which had been made to him were
true, he would ask the Appellate Di-

judicial notice of the conduct of the
lawyers for the defendant.
