Common Difficulties.

You look quite clever, friend;
know you're an average man,
Did you ever open tin of meat
With the key that is on the CAM
know you're bright and sharp,
like your cut and style.
Can you get dressed in sleeper berth
And not get out in the aisleY
| know you've been about,
You look like a man alive;
Did you ever get ten-cent smoke
As advertised, for FIVE?
You've had experience
In some of the paths you've strayed,
Can you put tight car window mp
And not have to call for aidY
/ know you've been about,
You've put your time to use:
DO you ever find it hard to strike
The joints of a roasted goose?
Thanks, friend; IN treasured,
You've been around |, see;

The fault lay all with me.

TOWN BURIES IT'S DEAD
Nearly Every Inlabitant Turned Out
TO Pay Respect to Victims OF Opera
House Fire.

Boyertown, Pa, January II The
uncommon sight Of ganS OF Italian
laborers digging graves by the light OF
the moon for the burial Of the dead
of the Rhoades Opera house dtsasLer
was witnessed in Union and FairVieW
cemeteries here last night So many
of the funerals were to be held today.
tomorrow and Sunday the borough
authorities found it necessary TO keep
the men at work all night. Today
found this part of the work in con-
nection with Monday nights horror al
most completed. A large number of
funerals were held today and many
sad scenes were enacted as one or two
members of the family were laid to
rest in the hurriedly prepar ed graves
The largest number of funerals VII
take place tomorrow. The coroner
today placed the number Of dead at
173.
Nearly everybodys living here ;arn-
ed out today 10 pay respect - the VIC
tins OF the fire. Many Of the graves
in the cemeteries were not ready 70

corting the bodies were compelled to
wait for hours to bury their dead.
The authorities have thus far been
unable TO solve the mystery surround
ing the unidentified body OF a woman
which was found dressed in male az
tire.
The unidentified dead will be bvrie,l
in a trench sixty feet long. forty feet
wide and six feet deep. Each Of the
thirty unidentified bodies will be plac-
ed in separate coffin and each cofin
will be separated from the others by

Few people realize how frequently
Group is caused by catarrhal cor pgestion
of the throat. Probably nine cases out Of
ten of Group is of the catarrhal variety.
The medical profession recognizes
three forms of Group. The spasmodic va
r1ety, membranous Group and catarrhal
Group.
Nearly every case is of the catarrhal va
riety, and few doses of Peruna taken at
the first appearance Of the catarrhal
symptoms is generally sufficient to avert
the attack Of Group altogether.

tirely the many little touches of human
interest which were a part of the mar
ration last year, when no objections
were offered. Mr.. Jerome said his OBJ
jections were intended to cut out all
stories about pet CATS" aid lot Of
other stuff which had no place in the
trial.
The elder Mrs. Thaw, pale and weak
from her recent illness, was assisted to
the witness chair and repeated large
part of the testimony she gave a year
ago. Her appeaTa ance and the sincerity
of her evidence as she told of her sons
strange conduct after meeting Evelyn
Nesbit and hearing her story. had a
marked effect upon all who listened.
On account Of her weak condition her
examination was interrupted by con-
sent to be resumed some time next
week when she will tell of Thaw's in
fancy. District Attorney Jerome's
manner while the mother was on the
stand, was all Difference and it was
his suggestion which led to the res
pite. But when the young wife took
the stand the change was marked.
Jerome glared at her from the very
first. and his objections were fairly
shouted in her ears. Well accustomed
to court usage from her former exper-
ience the young woman waited patient
ly for a ruling as to each objection.
When they were sustained she was
silent, when overruled she was ever
ready with her response.
Effective testimony was given at the
morning session by Miss Alice c.
Fletcher of Washington, D. c., long
time friend of the Thaw's and a fire.
quent visitor at their home. She said
she had known Harry Thaw for twenty
six years and he had always impressed
her as irrational Miss Catherine o.
Neill who nursed Thaw as boy from
his third to his tenth year, added her
evidence TO that already adduced as TO
irrational conduct aud tendencies on
the part of the defendant
Two door men at the police station
where Thaw was confined the night of
the tragedy repeated their stories OF
last year of Thaw's irrational appear
ance and his complaining of noises
that did not exist.
The trial may be concluded in two
more weeks.
Mr.. Lfttleton caused a ripple of ex-
element when he called Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw to the stand. Young Mrs.
Thaw, in her blue school dress, appear
ed promptly and walked briskly to the
witness chair where Clerk Penny ad- |
ministered the usual oath.
While Mrs. Thaw was sitting with !
anxious face ready for her examina-
ion Mr.. Litleton asked her to with j
draw for the time being TO make way |
