GHOST 0F SUICIDE REENACTS TRAGEDY APPEARS BEFORE NEW TENANT OF BUNGALOW IN INDIA AND
 SHOOTS SELF. STRANGE SEQUEL OF STORY Woman Sees and Hears Specter While Husband Is Awakened by Re-
 port of Revolver, But Mo-
 body Is Found.
STRANGE SEQUEL OF STORY

Bombay-An amazing spook story told by a contributor to the Indian Daily Telegraph has aroused much in terest here. It is the tale of a ghost who shot himself The woman who re- lates it had accompanied her husband to Tirzapur He had been sent there to undertake the duties of an agent who had been sent home on sick leave The only accommodation they could find when they arrived July 29 was an inspection bungalow.
 They retired about ten o'clock, but Mrs. S- remained awake for some time reading novel by the light of a lamp She was just thinking of turning it out when suddenly a man holding a revolver appeared in the room She continues:
 Before I could move or speak, he said: Don't stop me, l am going to shoot myself AS he put the revolver to his head I shut my eyes and was nearly deafened by the report that followed My husband jumped up, wide awake at once, with a cry of Who fired?' and I opened my eyes ex- pecting to see a ghastly heap on the floor.
 "To my, amazement the room was empty-there was no stain on the matting-and no sign of the tragedy that had just taken place in front of me. My husband said that he had been wakened out of sound sleep by the noise of the shot, and when l told him what had seen we searched the house together Neither the pun kah coolie, who was sleeping on the veranda, nor the servants, whose houses were close by in the com pound, had heard anything. Even the dogs chained in the veranda had not been disturbed. It all happened so suddenly that I had no feeling of fright or terror The man seemed to come from the direction of my bus.

Ultra Chic Note
 Just Now in Paris

The ultra chic note in Paris just now is the contrast of tones between the coat and the skirt. For the most part the coats are coquettishly shaped, with open fronts, disclosing more or less of the pretty bodice. This fash ion, now thoroughly accepted, is also an economical one, for what is easier than to change slightly last sea- sons skirt to suit the prevailing modes, and, with a velvet coat of some nice, contrasting color, an up-to- date costume is achieved? The latest fancy is to have these silk or velvet coats made sleeveless. A last years princess gown of fine gray broadcloth is made this year to look quite new by the addition of half long coat of bright green velvet. The the gown serve for the coat, for their shape is quite correct. Wide lace frills fall from them now, and lace frills fill the open front. With this costume is worn a wide brimmed hat of green velvet. The velvet is gath cred full over the brim above lin- ing of pale pink tulle. There is a big mob crown, and between crown and brim curls a long green feather, held on one side by clasp of green and gold enamel.
 Often these velvet coats have sleeves composed entirely of lace. One such is of purple velvet, worn with skirt of gray crepe-a gray so pale as to be nearly white. The lace of the sleeves, overlapping flounces, is of the same grayish white tint
 One of the original ideas of the mo- ment is the "Fatma" sash. It Is worn with a plain long skirt. Imag- inc long, wide length of black satin, carried loosely about the hips and knotted carelessly in the back, leav- ing long fringed ends. Its upper edge touches the belt line, but it is en- tirely about the body. There is noth- ing newer and at the same time more charming. It must be worn with a gown of decided color, like cerise, rose, pale blue, or tender green, and it Is always black.

State Guards In Annual Session.

The Arkansas State Guard Associa- ton met Thursday in annual session in the Senate chamber of the state house. The association remained in session the entire day, adjourning about o'clock. The principal action taken during the meeting was the cleo ton of new officers for the ensuing year and the adoption of a recom- mendation made by the retiring presi- dent to the effect that the $2,000 given the two colonels of the Arkansas regi- ments in camp Hot Springs last summer, be divided among the cap tains of the two regiments, to be used as company money. The latter action was taken as solution of the contro- versy as to what would be done with the $2,000, which was given by the business men of Hot Springs to Col onels Stroup. and Surridge for bring ing the state encampment to Hot SrpingS

Will rot Make Appointment.

Acting Governor X. o. Pindall Thursday gave out the statement that he might not appoint a successor to the late Senator Amis, who represent ed Lincoln, Dallas and Cleveland counties in the Arkansas Senate. Gov ernor Pindall stated that he under stood there were two candidates, Arthur Johnson and Cal Newton, both of Lincoln county, for the office of senator, and that, as Senator Amis' term will expire soon, he likely would not appoint a successor, but would leave the office vacant until after the primary, when one of the two candi- dates will be elected to the office. Governor Pindall made the statement with the proviso that no special ses- sion of the legislature be called. In case a special session is called before the primary it will be necessary for him to appoint a successor to Senator Amis to fill the unexpired term.

Women Decorate Hatpins.

Fashionable women are at present giving their spare moments to form. ing and decorating hatpins. One must have so many, and the pins play such an important part in the effect of a hat that every woman must have a dozen or two special ones for each chapeau. The disks are immense and are almost fattened. Women buy the plain disks, burrow holes with tools, and after battering in strong gum in the holes, sink and paste sap- phires, or pearls, or rubies or emer- aids. Against the enameled surface the effect is fine.
 Those of copper are lovely, but we see pretty enameled ones of all colors. The more jeweled the more chic, for the plain hatpin is seen no more.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condi- tion that he was compelled to give up good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and hardly think there was an organ in his body that was not affected.
 q told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some dis cussion he decided to give it up.
 Tt was a struggle because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it, and then it was easy to leave off coffee.
 His fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and talk ing up Postum. Then l began to drink it, too.
 Although I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before I began to use Postum. Now I weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work as anyone my size, I think.
 Many do not use Postum because they have not taken the trouble to make it right. I have successfully fooled a great many persons who have drunk it at my table. They would remark, You must buy high grade of coffee.' One young man who clerked in grocery store was very enthusias- tic about my coffee When I told him what it was, he said, why I've sold Postum for four years but I had no idea it was like this. Think I'll drink Postum hereafter

Breathing Exercise
 for Graceful Necks

For years a certain exercise has been practiced by family of Virginia beauties, known the country over for their beautiful, graceful necks, says the Delineator. It is so simple that every woman should know it. Here it is:
 Every morning before the sun is high, the girls arise and stand before the window of their bedroom. They draw in deep, full breaths of the fresh, deW-laden atmosphere. Then, rising on the toes, another deep breath is drawn Tn. This time it is held, and while the mouth is kept tightly closed the breath IS forced against the throat and neck muscles while 15 is counted. As the heels slowly come down to the ground the breath is forcibly expelled, always through the open mouth.
 To the beginner in beauty culture, this exercise is likely to bring on an attack of dizziness But do not be alarmed. It is simply because so much oxygen is forced into the lungs that the scores of little air cells, hereto fore empty, are quite filled to over flowing. This starts the blood rushing at such mad pace that one is, for the time being, quite drunk with the unusual collaboration.
 If, for two weeks, night and morn- ing, this exercise is practiced ten times in succession, you will note decided improvement. Distressing hollows will begin to take on natural curves and angles to assume lines of grace.

Neither my husband nor l were at all nervous people, and when we could find nothing to ex. plain what had occurred we decided that it must have been imagination, and that our being in strong sympathy with each other had caused us to share the same hallucination We re- freshed ourselves with iced drinks and biscuits and then went to bed and slept soundly after having decided to keep our own counsel about the af- fair"
 Now for the sequel to it. Shortly afterward the writer accompanied her husband on tour of the district. Among the hills they met Madame de Bevery, who had been a widow for several years. In the course of a con- versation with her Mrs. S- dis covered tbat at one time she had lived in the bungalow at Tirzapur where the spectral suicide had mani. fested himself
 "On hearing that she knew our bun. galow, and had actually lived in it." the writer adds, T was impelled to relate our strange experience there, which hitherto my husband and I had kept to ourselves. She listened with out comment, but when I ended my narrative by saying that we had come to the conclusion it must have been either indigestion or imagination, she turned very pale and said: You have related something that really hap pened; my husband shot himself there before my eyes exactly as you have described
 "She then told me that her husband had gone into the bedroom, through door which we kept closed, and had used the very words I quoted, and the whole affair coincided exactly with what had seen, down to the smallest detail.'
 The bungalow, it seems, had stood empty for some years after the trage- dy and had then been occupied only at odd intervals during cold weather,

CATARRH MADE LIFE
 A BURDEN TO ME.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main AVA St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
 "As 1 have found Peruna a blessing for severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which l suffered from for number of years, am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement.
 ''Catarrh, such as 1 suffered from, made life burden to me, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that was usually troubled with a headache, and although l tried many so-called remedies, noth- ing gave me permanent relief. l was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to me.
 However, did buy bottle, and be- fore that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was con- piefeIy cured in a months time, and find that my general health is also ex- cellent."

Fish as Brain Food.

A naughty, disdainful sort of physi- cal wreck waltzed up to Capt. Ehlers the other day and exclaimed:
 "Sir! I was advised three years ago by my physician, the celebrated Dr. -, that you sold brain food in the images of fishes. I have diligently pursued that diet, and do not find that my mentality has improved a parti- cle! What have you to say about it ?"
 The jolly, dear old fat captain, shaking the panes out of his glass cub byhole, replied: My friend, fish is certainly good for the brains if taken in time; but some folks are too late" Chicago Record-Herald.
