CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
eurIoiner Of Cake Of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine a conscience that would
span 20 years and drive man to re-
member a theft of cake of soap.
That there is such conscience. how
ever. is proved by the receipt few
weeks ago Of two cakes of soap by a
storekeeper in little town in Minne-
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had a small store
In st. Paul. In front Of his establish
ment he had showcase In which he
displayed several large cakes Of soap
of special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
OF the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was SO small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for
gotten 1t, till he received a letter from
the thief. which read:
Dear Sir: l send you two cakes
Of soap in payment for one took from
your showcase in ST. Paul many years
ago. l recently saw your advertise
ment in country paper and learned
OF the change of your place of bust
ness. l regret deeply having taken the
soap. and trust that this which send
will satisfactorily take its place.

NEURALGIA
of hair.

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain. and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago. 1t is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which afilict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection Of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, 1mpoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not SO obscure
as many would be led to suppose The
first thing is to relieve the pain
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.

such times. and satisfy some Of them.
and then tx when II is most OF all i'm
possible to live on anything a year
But after all the money has been spent
= few times over and has begun to be
scarce. and borrowing has come to be
n serious matter, and folks have much
less to spend and no expectations;
then everybody groans and begins to
save. not only trying desperately to
squeeze back inside of the bounds of
income. but to pay back what was
spent in expectation of a time when
saving would have become convenient
To most of us that time never comes

that after the money has been spent
and we are pinched for the lack of 1T.
We would still rather have what it

APHTHoUS FEVER SPREADS
Two Cows Suffering with Disease
Found in Dairy i'm PhiIa-
delphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-The first
cattle in this city found to be suffering
from aphthous fever, or hoof and mouth
disease, were located today through the
department of health and charities. In-
spectors learned that four cattle had been
shipped from an infected district near
Norristown, Montgomery county, to Jacob
Haesler, a dairyman. 1t was found that
two cows were suffering from the fever.
They were in a pen with fifteen others,
and as a matter of precaution, the depart
ment killed the entire herd, confiscated a
large quantity Of milk, disinfected the
barns and d~uarantined the place.
A report that reached DR.. Leonard Pear
son, the state veterinarian, that eight cattle
had been shipped from an infected district
to a slaughter house in the lower section
Of the city, caused the inspector to quaran-
tine that place also and order the destruc-
ton of the cows and 125 sheep in the yards
with them.
DR.. Herbert Fox, chief of the laboratory
of the state department Of health, who was
sent to Danville last week to examine seven
children supposed to have contracted the
cattle disease, said today that there need
be little fear of the fever becoming cpl
demic among humans. He said he does not
believe the disease Is inter-communicable
between cattle and men h" butter and milk.

Miner.

SALT LAKE CITY. Nov. 2S.-Four men
persisted yesterday in the working of the
Utah Copper company's mine at Bingham.
When the day shift withdrew 1t was
known that one Italian miner, Dlminick
shatta, lay unconscious and probably life
less in one of the mine levels where he had
gone in the performance of his duty. An
other miner was thought TO be missing.
Foreman F. Kent Smith started down an
incline tunnel, followed by Hugh Burns and
George Wilson, two shovel men. They did
not return. Other mine employees waited a
reasonable time and then ventured into
the tunnel, after taking the precaution to
tie ropes to their waists.
Smith and his companions were found
where they had fallen in their struggle to
regain the outer air. Shatta was found
later. He had been dead for hours. The
second missing Italian was not in the mine.
