KIN FOR LOSSES
Mrs. Churchman Says Nephews
Who Are Suing Her Specu-
lated with Her Money.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12.-Mrs.
Katherine M. Churchman, a prominent
society woman of this city, whose stock
market speculations are said to have
amounted to nearly $4,000, 900 within
twenty-one months, yesterday denied
some of the allegations made in an ac-
tion brought against her on behalf of
Mills Brothers & Co., New York
brokers. The Mills Brothers are her
nephews, and they allege that she owes
them a balance of $S5,376. Mrs. Church
man denies hat she is responsible for
the wiping away of her fortune, and
lays her losses to what she calls the
ill-advised speculations of the plain
tiffs themselves.
"While I was on a trip In the West
Indies they took it upon themselves to
operate in my name, as their own in
formation dictated" she said, 'and
when 1 returned home / found they had
run through all the money / had made,
besides the money / had invested.
Instead of being sued for his bal
| ance of $50, 900, l should think there
ought to be some manne in which ]
could recover what l made and what
was lost through no fault of mine.
never authorized the transactions
which caused the heavy losses in my
account just before the failure of the
Millses."

CHILDREN ENTER
PENMANSHIP TEST
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Thousands Have Already Writ
ten 1.-THE EVENING STAR Is
Read in Our Home"
EACH CHILD CAN SEND
IN MANY EXAMPLES
Marked Improvement Already Is
Noticeable in Handwriting
of Entrants.

The most frequently written sentence
in Newark today Is the text of THE
EVENING STARS penmanship CON
test, the line now familiar to thousands
of school children in Essex county and
West Hudson, reading as follows:
1.-The Evening Star is read in our
home.'
Every mail brings scores of letters
containing the ~well-known sentence.
Thousands of children are today prac-
Using to improve their ~penmanship,
and many have written the line hun
dreds of times. rounding out the let
tcrs, dotting their us" and crossing
the 81 preparatory to submitting their
best effort to the Penmanship Editor of
THE EVENING STAR.
There Is no limit to the number of
times a boy or girl may send in the
sentence. The only necessary things
to do are to attach the coupon to the
letter and have the teacher certify
each time that you are a member of
her class. If this were not done there
would be no way to tell whether the
sentence were written by a boy or girl
or a grown-up.
Thus 1t is possible for a very poor
writer, by constant practise, to so i'm
prove that the last trial for h prize
will excel the effort of a fair writer
who sends in but one slip. A boy or
girl whose penmanship is poor can be-
come a good penman quickly by con-
stantly practising for a prize in the
contest. Great improvement Is already
noticed in the handwriting of many
persistent boys and girls. some of whom
will certainly win prizes.
IT is not yet too late to enter the
contest. OF course, those who have
practised long hours with their pens
have an advantage over those just
entering, but with ambition to win a
prize the boy or girl who enters now
has a fair chance to win.

A tickling cough, from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. And it is so thoroughly harmless and safe, that pr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesita. tion even to very young babes. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung-healing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sen. sitive bronchial membranes. No opi- um, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply a res inous plant extract. that helps to heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call this shrub which the Doctor uses, "Thc Sa- cred Herb''. Always demand Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.

CONCERNING TRAINED SNAKES.

"Phoenix, Ariz., January l0.-A farmer living near this city has tanned rattlesnake that has long been about his place. The snake sleeps every night on the front gate of its owners garden coiling itself about the gate post, so that a lock and chain to keep out in. truders are not needed. The snake is of very friendly disposition, and mum. erous citizens vouch for the truth of the story concerning it. ."-Current news item. To which tho Washington Herald editorially adds:
 This is very interesting, and should appeal to all animal writers, reptile specialists, and nature fakers without regard to difference of opinion concern ing the intelligence, prowess, or habits of the brute creation. We have made note of so many authentic accounts of the wonderful and surprising doings of rabbits, oysters, crows, roosters, and other varmints of superhuman under standing that we do not, personally, doubt this snake story in the slightest degree. We feel sure it was promul- gated by an entirely responsible party, and should be classed important and true
 Nnpy fhat rrnhih,f,n, koo Io tion of this country in it's grasp, how ever, and a great and consuming dry ness is abroad in the land, the possibili- ties suggested by the little item above noted should not go unheeded. Tame and trained snakes in the south would, we imagine, be an innovation sure to become popular, if indulged in along correct lines. Think what conven- fence such a thing would be about the place when an imense thirst seized upon one in Burning Birmingham, for in stance. Such snake would, in crisis, benignly and most accommodatingly bite it's owner, and then crawl to the front door and guard the house against intrusions upon the part of policemen or sheriffs charged with the enforce ment of certain drastic features of the prohibition laws recently enacted. Such an arrangement would be little short of ideal, as those things go; indeed, not since the first snake in all history in troduced himself to Mother Eve in the Garden of Eden do we remember to have heard of one possessing so timely a combination of virtues as this Ari. zona product. Not only would be fur.
