Thaw's Mother Testifies

The mother of Harry Thaw took the
witness stand Wednesday to contribute
what she might toward saving her way
ward boy from the death-danger which
menaceS him.
Mrs. Thaw's story before the jury
was brief. When Dolphin Delmas had

ditiOn following his return from Paris
in 1903, after Evelyn Nesbit had told
him her story, and when District Attor-
ney Jerome had with the greatest re-
spect and consideration, conducted a

ton. the mother-love welled strong in
Justice Fitzgerald here sustained the
objection interpOSed by the defense.
When late in the afternoon Jerome
called James c. Smith, a brother-in-
law of Stanford White, to the stand. an
other long argument ensued. Smith
was on the Madison Square roof garden
the night of the tragedy. He knew
Thaw and spoke with him that evening.
He said Thaw stood in the aisle min
ute or more after reaching his seat.
and looked over the audience intently.
Mr.. Delmas objected to this and ii
was stricken ont Of the record. The at
tOrney for the defense also objected to
Smiths testifying at all, saying he
should have been produced during the
presentation of the case in chief. Je-
rome said Smith was in Europe when
the states case first was presented. He
threw himself upon the discretion Of the
court and the matter was pending when
adjournment until today was ordered.

done her all. She was loath to leave

Mans Queer tumble OF Words War
ranted the Inference.

Prof William Lyon Phelps OF Yale
recently told this story at New Ha-

A hard drinker was told by his doctor
that he could be cured IL every time
he felt that he must have a drink he
would Immediately take something TO
eat instead.
The man followed the advice and
was cured, but the habit of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as
lunatic. He was stopping at hotel
and. hearing great commotion in the
room next to his, he peeped over the

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
less to Use.

This is known as Blood Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur.
ing this month to clean the blood OF
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something TO
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
II is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimEles or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

A $4,000 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury In
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of $4,000 theft about
so years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation OF how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, it was assumed
that 1t was the work OF some one I'M
connected with the Office in which the
robbery occurred. II was not long,
however, before clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle of bills was &C
quainted with a professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be-
trayed. whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package OF notes, all OF
large denominations. into a position
where they could be "snaked up"
with a cane provided with hook.

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Significance In
Glorifcation of Robbers.

The idea of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people. and never had
their cordial approval as an institu-
ton, says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads of our nation in all ages, il
may be noted, have been those which
described alphabetically attacks on
private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle TO the broadsheets in which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroes
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people. the litera-
ture that the educated classes seldom
so much as see exposed for sale, the
literature that is sold in the small
general" shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shilliDgs. still very largely
deals with the romantic exploits OF
the robber. He is never a villain; he
is noble and generous TO a fault; but
he is convinced of the improperly OF
persons having too much money.

ROMANTIC DEvoNsHiRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiTpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels. THE River" Children of the
MIST" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford. North Devon, states:
For 80 years drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
When i realized this, made up my
mind TO quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, concluded to
try 1t. had II carefully made, accord
ing 70 directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise az the end OF a
week. that j no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, OF brain
flag. and that could drink il at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind OF
coffee, growing fonder and fonder OF
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
to Postum Food Coffee, am satisfied.
