new LAWS TO
TAKE EFFECT
June 12 the Work of the Last Legis.
sature is Effective-Gunn
Law Stands.

256 laws were passed by the last
legislature.
These become effective June IL.
A synopsis of the more interesting
follow here:
A law abolishing all special funds
and merging all state moneys into
the general fund. This was aimed at
the revolving fund of the peniten-
tiary.
The delinquent parent law imposes
the penalties of $1,000 fine and a
years Jail Imprisonment on parents
or guardians responsible for the de-
linquency of children.
The Rhodes law limits the hours
of possible consecutive railway em-
ployment to sixteen.
The Kayser law permits the depos.
1t of municipal funds, in cities of less
than $4,000 inhabitants. in local
banks, which shall pay per cent on
average daily balances.
Criminal Insane Law.
The Graves law relating to the
criminal insane requires the incarcer-
alton of all such criminally insane
persons in the state penitentiary. A
ward is to be built there for their
use. The law also designates the
manner in which the plea of insan-
ity as an excuse for crime may be
interposed, providing for judgment
on the sanity or insanity of the ac-
cused before the trial is begun and
outlines the methods necessary to
the establishment of sanity and the
consequent release from prison. This
law has aroused the widest comment
and the bitterest hostility, it being
contended that under it, insane per-
sons are compelled to wear stripes,
and that, in any event, the peniten-
tiary is not place for mind diseased.
Since the passage of the law the
board of control has announced that
1t will abolish the use of stripes at
the penitentiary for all save the most
hardened convicts and will promul-
gate set Of rules for the especial
care and treatment OF thei insane
care and treatment Of the insane
now confined at state insane asylums
are to be sent to Walia WAlla after
the law becomes effective. Chester

I wonder if "Gossiping Charlie Is
in the land of the living? When he
moved out to Texas many years ago,
his community agreed that he would
be apt to be heard of living when the
-troof fell in,'' for he seemed to have
a cats stock of lives, and was man
hard to kill.
'Gossiping Charlie" (there is no use
of giving his every day name) had
a record to which any man might point
with pride. He was blown up in a
boiler explosion of a steamer on the
Cape Fear river, but out of the smoke
and fragments he was seen calmly
wading through shallow water TO the
bank. He was shot twice during the
Civil War. He was once kicked in
the stomach by a long gangling yellow
mule, as ugly and devilish as 81 Slo-
Gums Maud" He was cut almost to
the hollow by a drunken rowdy at
zone of the old-time barbecues. An
'old-fashioned single-barrel, nIuzzle-
loading shot gun burst in his hands

Oar birds. But, except that his wounds

failfng to eat three meals a day and
triII his five-fngers-but that is an

'bssiping Charlie" was a black
smith, and a good workman. He had
a wife but no children, and he lived
plainly but. comfortably in a small
house on the outskirts of town with
a patch of ground around it, on which
his fRife grew hollyhocks, snow balls,
bachelors buttons and arbor vitae in
front Of the house, and he made a veg

The Lunch Counter
Is the Cause of Dyspepsia and Indi-
gestiOn, Catarrh of the Stomach
and Heart Disease.
Nine-Tenths of Those Who Eat There
Bolt Down Their Food.

The next time you eat at lunch
counter just you watch the people
opposite. Look down the whole line
and notice how they bolt down their
food, washing it down with hot cof-
fee or cold water. First they take
large bite then drink, a bite and
drink, hurrying through their
meal in five or ten minutes.
Many of them don't know the cor
rect way to eat, while others are so
intent on money-making that they
will not take the time to eat prop
erly.
The lunch counters create a great
demand for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, for every one now knows that
they assist the stomach in digesting

| forced down into it.
