feminine person who loads on tor
of her head from two to sever
pounds of excelsior and other hair
likewise "the hook" for the woman
who wears such a long and tight cor
set that she can not walk or benC

The national dressmakers who are
flocking in from every direction fol
their convention, sound the death
knell of these extreme fads. They
also vouchfare that the new styles
will locate woman's waist about
where nature intended it.
For two seasons woman's waiSt

from her shoulder blades to her knees
but the new styles will get it back in

some degree Of certainty, whether OF
not she has her dress on upside

"WHO STRUCK
BILL PATTERSON"
Business Man of Higginsville
Tells of a Famous Incident.

who struck Billy Patterson"
You are quite familiar with this
question. You have heard it hun
dreds of times before and you proba-
bly, have never heard il answered.
You have heard il asked by persons
who had no idea who Billy Patterson
was or whether or not such a person
ever really existed, for it has become
a stock expression signifying an UNI
answerable question.
But now comes T. M. Lake, for
merly of Fauquier county, Virginia,
and now a business man in this city
who says he knows al labout the strik-
ing of Billy Patterson. Mr.. Lake was
a younger friend of the man who
struck Billy.
Billy Patterson, according to Mr..
Lake, was the Bill Adler, of Rich
mond, almost rs years ago. He was
big beefy man who loved fighting
almost as much as he loved whisky,
and preferred the two together.
On the day which made Billy's
name immortal he had secured the
whisky, but was finding il difficult to
find trouble, in such respect were his
powers held, although he had taken
up his position in the middle of a
much travelled sidewalks and was
making all passers take to the street.
He was particularly insulting to a
crowd of medical students who had
just been dismissed and were on their
way to a students hotel nearby.
Among the students was Albin
Payne, young man from Fauquier
county, a relative of Admiral Raphael
Semmes and man of fighting blood,
and when the group of students he
was in met and submitted to the in.
dignities offered them by Billy Pat
terson his fighting blood was reused.
LET me at the bovine he said"
He walked straight up to the bully
Perhaps Billy was too surprised tC
defend himself for only one blow was
struck and Billy went down with {
dull thud.
II was believed at first that Patter
son was killed and the students flee
to the hotel where they held hasty
meeting and vowed never to tell whit

Young Payne was spirited away tt

of the fleeing students and had no in
formation except the man who strucl
the blow was one of them. Every
student in the hotel was questioned
but each denied that he had strucl
Patterson. Although it soon becam,
known that Patterson was not seri
ously injured the students kept thei
secret, though the whole town wa
asking who struck Patterson.

one of the most noted physicians il

HE CANNOT FIGHT
 RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
A Nome Millionaire Gives Up His Contest for Gold.

Seattle. Wash, June 9-Jafet Linde- berg. a Nome millionaire, who also owns rich California mines announced today that he had given up his con test with the Russian government over the seizure of his claims and gold in the Andadir country in Siberia and would make no further effort to mine in Siberia.
 Lindeberg, who incorporated the Pioneer Mining company, had pros pectors out for months until they struck rich diggings on Nadeau creek, where they took out S10,O00 in eigh teen days.
 The Russian governor of the pro vince, getting knowledge of the Americans success, sent a gunboatt to Lindeberg's camp. where the officer seized $10,000 of dust and a large quantity of whalebone. Seizure was made for an alleged violation of the terms of the concession under which the sale of gold was to be made only to the Russian government which was to receive half of the net profits also. Lindeberg protested that he had not had a chance to offer his gold for sale and demanded some recompense. but the governor refused.

MAKING SUNSHINE It Is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives many healthy person into the depths of despairing illness. Indeed. most sickness comes from wrong food and just so surely as that is the case right food will make the sun shine once more.
 An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass. says: Tn October, I was talk en sick and went to bed, losing 47 pounds in about 60 days. I had doc tor after doctor, food hurt me and had to live almost entirely on mag nesia and soda. All solid food dis tressed me so that water would run out of my mouth in little streams.
 I had terrible night sweats and my doctor finally said I had consumption and must die. My good wife gave up all hope. We were at Old Or chard, Me, at that time and my wife saw Grape Nuts in a grocery store there. She bought some and per suaded me to try it.
 T had no faith in it but took it to please her. To my surprise it did not distress me as all other food had done and befoOre had taken the fifth package I was well on the mend. The pains left my head. my mind became clearer and I gained weight rapidly
 T went back to my work again and now after six weeks use of the food am better and stronger than ever before in my life. Grape Nuts surely saved my life and made me a strong hearty man, 15 pounds heavier than before I was taken sick.
 Both my good wife and I are will ing to make affidavit to the truth of' this.''
