CONFESSED
 IN HIS SLEEP.
Man Who Owned Up to Murder
 Must Stay In Prison.

Des Moines, Ia.. June 10. Seven years delay and three appeals to the highest court of Iowa have failed to save Charles Rocker from the confes- sion of murder he made in d night mare. The superior court decided the case, celebrated throughout the middle west, against Rocker, and unless he is pardoned he will spend his life in prison.
 Rocker worked for August Schroeder, a wealthy farmer near Rock Rapids. Greedy for his employers wealth and infatuated with Mrs. Schroeder, Rock CT strangled Schroeder and hung his body in the barn. Later he married Mrs. Schroeder, but one night in his sleep he clutched her by the throat and re-enacted the scene of the murder. The next morning he threatened to kill her if she ever told. After several weeks the wife told of Rockers con- fession and caused his conviction.

VICARIOUS LABOR.
No Greater Pleasure Than Watching
 Other Men Working.

1 Other Men WOrk1ng.
 "A while back l came upon in the Sun little account of the crowds of men who stand about watching the digging of excavations for new buildings and rubbering at big building operations generally" said the business man with a couple of chins. q reckon that little account meant me as much as 1t did any body else.
 ''If there's any man In New York who extracts keener enjoyment from watching other men work than I do, then I'd like to have him pointed out to me. I enjoy seeing 'em do any old kind of work, sos they're working. suppose spent in the aggregate at least two or three days divided into hours watch ing 'em dig the hole for the Singer building and putting it up. sim ply can't walk by any big hole be- ing dug or any building going up without stopping to look on. When ever I'm absent from my place or DuSiHesS anu lucy want hlc thCA c they usually send one of the boys to look for me in the neighborhood of some big building operation or where some holes being dug. They generally find me.
 Fact is, I often drop down to the docks to see the longshoremen work. If there's anything that particularly pleases me it's seeing a large gang of longshoremen engaged in loading or unloading a steamer. They're so blamed hard at 1t, and they've got to look sharp to keep out of each others way. and the music of their wheelbarrows, when they use 'em, is such pleasant music, and the rat tling and clanking of the dock winches and other machinery is so we'll worth listening to. and the fellows bend to their jobs with such termination-while all the time I'm just leaning against a stack of bags. or a barrel of fish. or some thing, watching 'em-why. I don't know any more fun than that any where.
 And say. on a farm-gosh all hemIock, but how I do love to stand around-or sit down, preferably. when there's anything to sit on-and watch farm folks. hired men, or even the boss farmers. work.
 T don't care SO much to see 'em plough. because that's a solitary kind of a job, and. my idea of fun is to see number of men working together. Threshing Is the thing.

 I've stopped actually for hours to watch gangs of men iay asphalt in New York. I like the smell of tar and of burning asphalt for one thing. but it's the air of industry permeat- ing the scene that particularly plezses me. Every man in the gangs doing something. He's got to do something or lose his job.

PARADISE FOR BIRDS.

Beverly Woman Advocates National
 Movement to Save Songsters.
 In little house in the hilly part of Beverly, Mass, lives a woman whose love for the feathered inhabitants of the forests and fields has led her to plant a bird paradise on a more grandiose scale than any hitherto at tempted and which is to form the nu- cleus of movement that is intended to envelop the whole of the United States.
 She is Miss Annie J. Chase, an artist and author. who has devoted all her life to the study of birds and plants and whose works on the subjects have become standard in public schools.
 The plans of Miss Chase call for a government appropriation and if adopt ed, says the Boston Post will make Uncle Sam the guardian of the feath- cred songsters, which, nature lovers claim, are threatened with annihila- tion unless steps are taken for their protection.
 Prospect hill, located on the out skirts of Beverly, has been selected as the spot where the first experiments of having birds paradise, place where the denizens of the air can find a safe haven from the malicious boy bent on destroying their nests and stealing the eggs, from the hunter who sees in them profitable venture and from the thoughtlessly cruel, Is to be established if Miss Chase's efforts prove success ful.
 While nothing tangible has as yet been achieved says Miss Chase, "and the whole thing is, so to say. in the air. an impetus, I believe, has been given to the idea of the need of pro- tective measures as far as birds are concerned.
 "I am a great lover of birds, and it has been my desire for many years to save our native birds from total dis appearance. Private aviaries do a great deal toward this end, but the public seems to have remained entirely indif- ferent to the problem, and, while laws protecting song birds have been passed, nothing practical has been offered that would not only deter the growing gen eration from injuring birds, but would influence them in desire to cultivate their love for birds.
 T then thought of establishing a birds paradise which should be a state or even national institution. Right near my home Is what think an ideal location for one. With a very small expense the foundation could be laid for a reservation where birds would be fully protected. and the place that appeared suited best for a beginning was Prospect hill"

 Has Fighting Chance to Carry coun-

 ard Bearer.
 Chicago, June 10. - Colonel Henry Watterson has lost hope in the boom that he incubated for Governor John son and left here for a conference with Mr. Bryan in Lincoln.
 Governor Johnson is victim of procrastination," said he in an inter- view here When Bryan said in a speech year and half ago that he would step aside if shown candidate who could offer more chances of mak- ing race promising greater success, took him at his word and named Gov ernor Johnson. But the introduction of the Minnesota governor into the presi- dential arena fell as flat as stale buckwheat cake. There was nothing doing. Hardly a soul jumped up and murmured 'Hurrahv
 ''That lethargy lasted throughout ali of 1907, and it was not until along in March of this year that the east took up Johnson. The east is not the part of the country from which the advo- cacy of Johnson should have come, and three months ago was not the time to espouse the candidacy of Johnson.
 Bryan will win on the first ballot by exclamation. do not believe that Johnson can have more than 200 or 250 votes at the utmost in the Denver convention.
 Fighting Chance With Bryan.
 Tt is hard to look forward from June to November, but I feel that with Bryan we have fighting chance this year. I have not before seen the Democrats so thoroughly in accord with Bryan's candidacy. There ap- pears to be little real opposition to him among the Democrats. Taft will cer- tainly be tile Republican candidate, and believe that Bryan could beat Taft with certainty if the election were to be held tomorrow without a na- tional campaign or the expenditure of Republican campaign fund.
 q say a Republican campaign fun because with two of Taft's brothers multimillionaires, with the predatory trusts as President Roosevelt has dubbed them, lined up behind the Re- publican ticket and with no law for the publicity of campaign contributions upon the statute books it seems hardly an exaggeration to predict that 'preda- tory trusts will be the issue, and the talons of Morgan.

Pains in
the Stomach
Caused By Gas and Foul 0dors Speed
lily Removed by Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package by Mail Free.

Pyrosis Gastric pain, gastritis and
many other stomach and bowel troubles
caused by formation of gas. are almost
instantly removed by a generous use of
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges.
These little lozenges kill bad, breath and
stop gas making by Oxidizing the odOrs
and gases. Charcoal absorbs one hundred
times itself in gas, They turn foul fumes
and gases into oxygen, which sweetens
the system. They are made from pure
willow and sweet honey and are a de-
lightful aid to the mouth, stomach and
bowels. The Japanese use charcoal for
toothwash and an old Chinese proVerb
runs thus: Sweet is the breath of a
Niponese'' (Japanese).
The mouth fluids are alkaline, thus
waste food held by tooth cavities is at
tackled and decays rapidly, causing foul
odors to arise. Charcoal renders the sa-
Iva sweet by oXidizing it and does away
with foul lamentations and decay
Every druggist carries Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges and many thousands of suf-
ferers from gas. foul breath, ETC., use
these little lozenges, thus proving their
popularity and their merit. Charcoal is
one of the best all-around dleansers tire
system may partake of and too much of
it cannot be taken An entire box of
Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges may be eaten
With freedom and only good will result
Go to your druggist Immediately, buy a
box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and
prove these facts yourself; it will cost
you but . cents, or send US your name
and address and we will send you a trial
package free. Is this not fair? Address
