DRAMA IN LONELY INN.
Would.Be Murderer Made to Eat His
Own Poison.

A story that reads like q chapter
from a sensational novel co mes from
the Fangeas. in Lozere. southern
France.
In this out-of-the-way spot dwells an.
i%nnkeeper named Avignon, with his
sister and little nephew, a boy OF
eight.
One evening an old man, who.
seemed to be unwell, made his appear
ance at the inn and asked for accom-
mediation. Avignon invited him In,
and left the stranger alone with his
little nephew while he went on with
his work.
When he reentered the room, the
boy, childlike. observed that there
would be no need to salt the potatoes,
as the old man had put salt into the
saucepan In which they were boiling
during Avignon's absence.
II Avignon had any suspicious he
concealed them, but when they sat
down to supper, and the old man re-
fused to take any of the potatoes, the
%innkeeper acted In a way that must
have astonished the guest. Avignon
o down his gun, and, covering the
stranger with It, commanded him to
partake of the vegetables; and de.
spite the protests and excuses of the
old man he was obliged to eat. No
sooner had he done SO than he fell
to the ground in great gony, and soon
after expired.
Avignon searched him. and found
In his pockets. besides a revolver and a.
knife, a whistle. The latter suggest
ed an idea to the innkeeper. With the
gun still ready for emergencies. he
blew the whistle, and on two men run
ming towards the inn, he fred. Neither
appeared to be hit, but the unexpected
nature of their reception caused them
to turn tail, needless of the fate of
their ~accomplice.
The plot, thus frustrated by the OBJ.
~servation OF the little boy, seems To
have been aimed at the savings which
Avignon is generally credited with
having. Having poisoned Avignon. his
sister and his nephews, they could
have possessed themselves of what.
ever there was worth taking in the
Inn and have got quietly away.

Surely a No.Account Dou.

A man in Missouri recently sued a
railway company for damages for
the death of a hound killed on the
track, says the Youths Companion.
The company defended itself upon
the following points:
Said dog was chasing a rabbit up
defendants tracks in violation, Of the
game laws,
| Said rabbit lived on defendants
right Of way, and. was therefore the
property of the defendant.
Plaintiffs dog was a trespasser,
and was hunting defendants property
without permission.
Said deceased was not much Of a
dog. anyhow, or 1t could easily have
kept out Of the way of defendants
trains.
And having fully answered, defend
ant prays to be discharged.

The Source of Life.

In Paleozoic times, then. 1t was the
earth itself, not the sun. to which
plant and animal primarily stood be.
holden for existence. This gives us
a most instructive glimpse into one
planetologic process. To the planets
own internal heat is due the chief
fostering of the beginnings of life upon
its surface. Thus a planet is capable
of at least beginning to develop or
ganisms without more than a inodlcum
Of help from the central sun. We talk
of the sun as the source of life; and
so 1t is to-day in the sense of being
its s%ustainer; but the real source was
the earth itself, which also raised IL
through its babyhood.-From Prof.
Lowell's The Evolution of Life" in

Million Labels a Day.

Messrs. Bass & Co., the brewers,

the largest contract that the world

triangle label which is supplied by
Messrs. Bass to the bottlers who
handle their pale ale. The order works
out at rather more than 1000, 900
labels "a day for each of the working

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which II May BE identified
Before Using.

After O building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, II is
easy to tell IL the paint used was made
OF pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt Is stolen.
What n wants Is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before 1t
and the labor of putting 1t on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend q
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead Is made from me.
tallic lead, and. under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe.
pure White Lead will r%esolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, It Is
not genuine White Lead, or IL It con.
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the ~"blow-pipe" test Is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test Of paint before using
1t. and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow
pipe" or any other test. To make 1t
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything nee.
essary for you to make the test, to-
gether with a valuable booklet on
paint. Address. National Lead Com

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician
Is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may SO upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible.
II practise from seven to eight hours
q day and study Harmony two hours"
writes a Mich. music student. Last
September l was so nervous l could
only practise a few minutes at a time,
and mother said l would have to drop
my music for a year.
"This was terribly discouraging as
! couldn't bear the thought of losing
a whole year Of study. Becoming con.
WINGED that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee. and seeing
Postum so highly spoken of, l de.
cided | would test 1t for a while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and ] thought I had never
tasted such a delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
OF coffee. and by November l felt more
like myself than for years, and was
ready to resume my music.
Il now practise as usual, do my
studying and when my days work Ia
finished l am not any more nervous
than when ! began.
Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practise half
a day. My father is a physician and
recommends Postum to his patients.
Words cannot express my appreciation
for this most valuable health bever-
age. and experience has proven its
superiority over all others" There's
q Reason"
