The amateur sportsman learns to play fair he learns

They would all resolve accept pay Office for what

State Senator Colby of New Jersey, Owen Wiser of
Philadelphia and few others in different parts of the
country. They play at the game hard the profess

There was a great cracking of
arms, a smashing of glass, and
splintering of wood. Occasionally a
ball came kissing through the aper-
lures and crashed either into the
roof or against the big wheels; for
there were rair of them, and
they took up all the center Of the
house. Now and again a bullet
that had forced it's way through
the thick shutter fell with an
ominous thud onto the grating
which covered the floor; but

the shutters and shattered the
panels of the doors, none of us was
touched.
BY the number of shots fred, the
attacking party must have found
shooting at the wheelhouse a high
ly exhilarating occupation. It at
least had the advantage of being
a safe one; hut as no return to
their fire was attempted, they
must necessarily have wondered
how it farej with the besieged; and

then of a sudden an angry volley
was poured into us. Yet 1t proved
but an impotent outbrust, merely
scattering few more splinters.
Hayling chuckled, and knew by
the click of the spring as the
empty shell was elected that he
was calmly preparing for further

Mrs. Christina Murray Jones, which
occurred Tuesday night at 1920. In
the evening Mrs. Jones seemed appa.

years past and IL seems that she took
a spell about H. Her ten year. old
boy ran for an uncle a half block dis.

Jones was dead. She was alone at
the time with her two children, one a
boy of ten years, the other girl six
years OF age. She leaves four chill.
dren, two boys and two girls, and six
brothers to mourn his departure.
The holidays passed, every body
seeming to enjoy themselves, there

as natural flow of blood is
health, and disease is the effect Of
local or general disturbance Of
blood. With this as working
hypothesis, he made a series of
experiments, the results Of which
convinced him that the various
organs of the body were controll-
ed by nerve centers located chief
ly along the spine, and that these
could be operated upon and con-
trolled by pressure or stimulation
of the fingers. He holds also that
if the bones, muscles, arteries,
veins, lymphatics, glands, organs,
and tissues of the body are in the
ir correct anatomical positions, dis
ease cannot exist. Displacement
may arise from a variety of caus-
es, such as a fall, a blow, a strain,
or atmospheric change. Pressure
upon the blood vessels or nerves
in the immediate vicinity of the
part so affected will follow, and a
