Mrs. F. A. Beckley. 1741 East Main
street, Ottumwa, Iowa, says: my
brother is an ardent advocate OF
Doan's Kidney Pills, as he used them
with the most beneficial results. For
several months he had intense pains in
his back and loins. often making him
so lame and sore that 1t was an effort
for him to stoop or lift. After using
several remedies without success. he
procured a box Of Doan's Kidney Pills
at Sargent's drug store and started
taking them according to directions.
They relieved him promptly and after
he had used the contents of two boxes
he was entirely cured"

SQUEAL Will
ENTER VAUDEVILLE
No Longer Will Vocal Efforts
Be Wasted on the Foul
Stock Yards Air.

Chicago, Special:-An inventive genius
has discovered that there is money in a
pigs squeal.
That which the late P. D. Armour said
was the only thing hat went to waste
at the stockyards now has a commercial
value.
Millions OF dollars worth of squeals
have gone to waste because it was not
known what use to make of them. But
now that their real value has been dis
covered the public will have to pay for
squeal just the same as 1t pays for the
hams, the loins and other parts Of the
animal porker.
A man carrying a Gamer, and a ma
chine for making monograph records
presented himself at the office Of Swift
& Co. at the stock yards and asked per-
mission to take some pictures. He ex-
planned hat he wanted the pictures for
use in a scent theater to illustrate a
pictorial slide that is to be entitled "a
Day at the. Stockyards."
You t0nk I'm craxy don't you? Well,
1t does sound like a crazy proposition"
The caller appeared to be perfectly
harmless, and he was told to go as far
as he liked. He first took the pictures of
scenes at the yards, which included
everything from the arrival of the cattle,
sheep and hogs to the dressed animal.
The sound Of hoofs On the
the believing of the cattle, the bleating
of the lambs n sheep and the squealing
Of the pigs were all faithfully reproduced
for the monograph.

TEN YEAR old BOY
With SAvANT'S BRAIN
This Story, Coming from Bos-
ton, May Not Be Consid-
cred So Remarkable.

Boston, Special: Although William

has ~astounded the learned folk here by
passing the difficult examination for
entrance to the Massachusetts Insti-
tue Of Technology, and is entitled to
marticulate when the institute opens
tomorrow his parents have decided
that he is to remain at home this year
studying as he pleases. The boy SO
marvellous in his precocity and in at
tainments along a high plane of Learns
ing is the son of DR.. Boris Sidis, a
Russian. He Is practically self edu-
Gated. At 2 years Of age he could read
and write, and at 4 was master Of
four languages, which he spoke fluent
ly and read at sight.
The wonderful youngster rapidly out-
stripped children many years his senior
in the studies pursued in the public
schools, and when. 8 years old entered
the Brookline high school. He re-
NAMED there only five months as he
was far in advance of the other pupils,
and since that time he has diligently
added to his store of knowledge, until
today he is quite capable Of discussing
the nebular hypothesis or an abstruse
problem in t~rigonometry.
A few weeks ago the boy undertook
to pass the examinations for the insti-

he did not think they were very hard"
When 1t is remembered that the aver
age 6 of the tech" man is 81 years,
and that the school is at least equal
to any technical school on the con-
tinent, the magnitude of the boys ac-
complisEiment will be appreciated. But
his parents. both of whom are physi-
clans, have decided that he should not
be pushed, and that he had best post
pone his course at the institute for a
time.
There Is nothing uncommon in Will
! liam's appearance. He has excellent
health. His mother said that he de-
rives much enjoyment from the study
of mathematics and physics n he
reads omnivorously. He does not often
play with children. but prefers the
company of adults, with whom he dis
cusses such subjects as are regarded
as academical and upon which he has
decided views.

MAN MUST BE
HOME MAKER, TOO

Chicago-"The home is the place for
woman" was the declaration of a bold
man, Lynden Evans, a lawyer, to mem
bers of tie Chicago Woman's club. But
he soon added: The man who spends
his time and thought on his counting
room and makes home a boarding
place is as much a social pest as the
women who nave SO far forgotten their
natural functions that they rush to
anything, from bridge whist to bust
ness occupations of men, to get away
from the home. The home maker
or woman-has more gray mat
ter In his or her brains than the man
who has killed his thousands on the
battlefield"

This monster shark became entan
gied in the net Of two Italian fishermen
which resulted in it's capture fiaal!
At first the shark tore the immense nes
some 1900 feet long, fairly into strips.
But it at length became hopelessly en-
meshed by it's frantic n enraged eff
forts to escape. h strings and strong
netting became wound round and round
the giils of the shark and it was finally
held a prisoner.
Then followed a long and furious
battle between the angry monster
and its two captors, in which the fish
ernlan had many narrow escapes from
the swapping jaws. 1t was repeatedly
h~arpooned, and after more than an
hours savage combat, the monster was
stranded and killed. When cut open it's
huge stomach was found full of fish.

CHAPTER VII.

The police officer did not follow the
autopsical operations closely. He was
eager to know; he was impatient for
the moment when, having taken the
picture, he might develop the negatives
and study them to see If he could dis
cover anything, could decipher any
image. He had used photography in
the service of anthropometry: he had
taken the pictures at the morgue with
his kodak, and now. at home in his
little room. which he was able to
darken completely, he was developing
his plates.
Nine. Bernardet and the children
were much struck with the expression
of his face. 1t was not troubled, but
p~reoccupied n as If he We're com.

eating very little, and seemed thought

And his little girls said to each other
In low tones, Papa is on a TRAIL"
He was in ruth. The hunting dog
smelled the scent. The pictures which
he had taken of the retina and had de-
veloped showed q result sufficiently
clear for Bernardet to feel confident
enough to tell his chief that he dis
tinctly saw a visage, the face of a
man. confused, no doubt, but clear
enough to recognize 10 only a type,

depths of a cloud, in a sort
of white halo. a human face APP
peared whose featureS could be distinct
ly seen with a magnifying glass-the
TAGS of a man with a pointed black
beard. the forehead a little bald, and
blackish spots which Indicated the eyes.
1t was only a phantom evidently, and
the photographer at the prefecture
seemed more moved than Bernardet by
the proofs obtained. Clearer than in
spirit photographs. which so many cred
ulous people believe in, the image
showed plainly. and in studying it one
could distinctly follow the contours. A
specter, perhaps, but the specter of a,
mar who was still young and resem-
bled, with his pointed beard, some
trooper of the 10Th century, a phantom
of some Seigneur Clouet.
For example," said the official pho
tographer. IF one could discover a muir
5derer by photographing a. dead mans
eyes. this would be miraculous. 1t is
incredible!!"
Not more Incredible Bernardet
replied. than VIA the papers publish.
Edison is experimenting on making the
blind see by using the Roentgen rays.
There is q miracle"
Then Bernardet look the proofs to M.
Ginory. The police officer felt that the
magistrate, h sovereign power in
criminal researches. ought, above every
thing, to c~ollaborate with him, to con-
sent to these experiments which so
many others had declared useless and
absurd. The taste for researches. which
was with M. Ginory a matter OF tenn
permanent as we'll as a duty to his pro-
fession, was fortunately keen on this
scent. Criminals call in their argot the
Judges the priers." Curiosity in this
mar was combined with a knowledge Of
profound researches.
