MIR. oliver J. Gosington Gives Faint
Outline of the Troubles That
Pursue Him.

i don't know why it is" said Mr.
Goslington, 'but when l travel | al
ways seem to get the worst of it in
some way; if there's anything going
that isn't pleasant it comes to me.
Yesterday l made little trip to a
place about fifty mifes from the city
l went to the station early to get a
seat by window. | managed that all
right; | got a window seat and just
where L wanted, not at the end of the
car, but about two-thirds back from
the front, where | would ride easy and
at the same time have something to
look at ahead, and of course that all
pleased me very much.
At the first station out there got
aboard the car at the forward end
seven men, a very assorted lot of men.
some tall, some short, some thick,
some thin, and among them one man
OF phenomenal proportions, a giant Of

terror that the big man would want
to sit with me. Really he ought not
to, for | sat two-thirds of the way
down the car and there We're plenty of
vacant seats ahead but you never can
tell about a thing till it's settled.
L watched that procession coming
with great and fearful interest. the
big man bringing up the rear, anl
then with Increasing hopefulness 1
saw 1t dwindle as one member after
another of it dropped out to take the

seated except the giant who was left
alone still four rows in front of me
and with three vacant seats in those
TOUR rows to choose from, and then
my nope ran high, but he kept aeon.
Ing and passed them all until he came
to mine, where he halted.
Is this seat taken?' he said to
me, and what could l say but:
No, sir, and then he sat down,
sitting partly on that vacant place in

Redeemed Life BY Death.

An honorable burial, the reward for
an honorable DEATH was accorded S.
]. Frooman, a convict, who died in the
San Quentin prison, California, re-
Gently, from injuries received while
bravely fighting the fire in the peniten-
tiary Frooman displayed a reckless
gallantry during that exciting period
When the call came for volunteers, he
was among the first to step out. 1t
was his one opportunity to retrieve
his dishonored name, to clear himself
Of the faint of a criminal being, to
take his place as man among men
He lived in dishonor, but died a man,
and for his manner of death was bur-
led as a man in San Rafael cemetery,
not as a criminal in a convict grave
This will be the only satisfaction to his
wife and daughter, who are in Europe
and unaware of his crimes and his
death He was convicted for forgery
and would have been released in 1911.
The expenses of his funeral were paid
by the guards of the prison.

Beri-Beri and Hari-kari

The busy man. who only has time to
read the headlines of a newspaper,

other day with the remark: Remark

hear of a Chinaman committing sui
eide Il should say it is said one of
the friends, Did Chinaman commit
suicide9" Yes, indeed: fellow commit
ted beri-beri down at Point Breeze He
was sailor" Indeed? | was always
under the Impression that beri-beri was
a disease, and not a method of self-de-
struction." Not on your life said the
busy one; ''beri-beri is one of the most
horrible forms of suicide known At
this juncture another in the group re-
marked: Don't get beri-beri confused
with hari-kari Hari-kari is way to
commit suicide, but beri-ber is a trop-
ical disease" Now, there's just where
you're wrong said the wise one
"Hari-kari is the Japanese word for
suicide, but beriberi is the Chinese
name" 1t was several hours before
they finally convinced him of his mis-
take.

Retains Health bv Eastino

TO prove that complete abstinence
from food for indefinite periods is not
only conducive to good health but also
to perennial youth, Miss Claire de
Serval, niece of the famous Fasting
DR.. Tanner, is submitting herself to a
remarkable series of experiments at
the Royal Charlie hospital in Berlin
Miss Serval ended at noon the other
day in perfect health a fast of ten
days, without norrishment of any
kind, either liquid or solid. During
that time she lived in glass cage
into which fresh air was pumped BY
motor. She was then removed from
the cage and placed in the ordinary
ward, but she intends to abstain from
food for another 20 days, living in the
meantime on mineral water. Hell
weight has decreased from ia pounds
to l01 pounds, but her condition other
wise is perfectly normal She stated
at the end of the tenth day, that she
never once felt i'll from lack of food
and drink, and was entirely free from
fever or headache. The young lady
says that she was induced to become
a faster" in order to cure herself OF
chronic headaches and lack of appe
tite, and also because she finds she

Mr. Chamberlain as the Butter.

The foreign office staff of the kings
house service messengers has just lost
one of its members, to whose nick
name, Sir Joseph. a story belongs. 1t
occurred when Mr.. Chamberlain was
at the colonial office
One night, or rather very early in
the morning, the messenger was sent
to Princes Gardens with an important
cabinet circulation" Mr. Chamberlain
was working late and had sent all his
servants to bed, and the messenger had
to wait a long time before getting an
answer to his knock
AT last he gave a laundering rat-tat
and presently had the satisfaction of
seeing some one whom he supposed to
be the butler appear in answer TO his
call, wearing a plain smoking jacket
and smoking a clay pipe. oh" said
the messenger, you have come at last,
have you? There's no hurry It's only
a message from the prime minister"
The 'butler' smiled serenelv. and the
messenger, then recognizing his man,
stammered out: Il beg your pardon,
Sir Joseph, | have dispatch box for
you"

JoLLYlNG A JOKER
YOUNG WOMAN GOT EVEN WITH
4 MERRY JESTER.
Had to Sit UP Late to Do IL, but tsse
Trick Was Accomplished
Victims Rather Lame
Excuse for Call.

To start wth-Robert l.. Beck is
the most diligent practical joker in
Cleveland and environs, with the one
possible exception of Johnny Bren-
nan
Among the regular victims of
Beck's jokes and jests are a crowd of
young women, friends of his wife.
A pair of these young women lowed
one evening that they would get
square with Beck. The joke they
planned required them to sit up far
beyond their bedtime, but they didn't
let that prey on their minds.
AT about 1920 a. m. Beck was
aroused from a sound sleep by the
ringing of the telephone. He crawled
out of bed, yawnfully, took down tho
receiver, and learned that a woman
relative-cousin or something of that
sort-was lying critically ill at her
nome in the other end of town.
Beck, then fully awake, inserted
himself quickly into his trousers and
other things, and hustled out to wait
for an owl car.
He had some difficulty getting in at
the home OF his relative Everybody
seemed to be sleeping just as soundly
as he haG been up to the time that his
telephone lang. 1t began to dawn
on him that perhaps he didn't have
monopoly on the practical joke game
IN this community. At last servant
came to the door. I'll was then Just
$50 O'Clock
Beck inquired how everybody was.
The servant, wonderingly, replied that
everybody had retired in the best of
health. But why? Was any one there
supposed to be ill?
Beck was on, when he heard that
He was indeed the victim of a Joke
But man does not like to admit that
he is joker's victim And in this in
stance he didn't think it was wise to
have his relative shocked by the news
that her state of health was matter
of telephone discussion in the middle
OF the night
20, no, | didn't think anybody was
sick. Beck told the servant Just tell
the FAMILY that ] was walking by, and
thought I'd drop in and inquire how
they We're. No, no, didn't want any
thing special. Just took notion to
drop in, don't you know. Well, must
be off. Beautiful night, isn't it?"-

COULDN'T Place Horace.

They say that Horace wrote his
poems in praise of wine,' the school
teacher said to the Billville citizen.
Who? Horace Greedy? Never
knowed he writ poetry"
mo, no-the other Horace, who
comes from antiquity"
Never hearn tell of him, ner the
place he come from; but it's my opin-
ion, whoever he wuz, that he had
mighty little to do to be wastin' words
on wine, when the country has more

The Longest Word.

What is believed to be the longest
word to be found in any dictionary
one that leaves even German and
Dutch hopelessly out of it-may be
turned up in Liddell and Scott's lexi-
con by those who can read Greek
characters. Those who cannot may
be content to know that this word
which begins lepadotemachoselach
CALICO" proceeds in like manner
through rs syllables, and counts ITO
letters in all. OF course, no ancient
Greek ever used such word as this
in ordinary conversation. 1t is a COM
ic word invented by Aristophanes for
rhythmical delivery in one of his
plays and means a dish compounded
of all sorts of fish, flesh, fowl and
sauces which are enumerated in the
word. The most ingenious English
translation of it yet suggested is
hash"

OK KILLING CONTEST TOO
BLOODY FOR SPECTATORS

Chicago.-Fully 1900 people watch
ed-or started to watch-the beef
dressing contest staged yesterday af-
ternoon at the Lawnrale baseball
park. "Butch" Welsh re-established
his claim to the title of worlds cham
pion by killing and dressing an OK in
1-2 minutes
The crowd in the grand stand di-
minished rapidly as the events pro-
ceeded in the arena constructed in
the baseball diamond. Women fled
for the gates at the sight of blood.
The first OK was led into the arena,
paving and looking wildly at the
crowd. He was dragged upon plat
form where the "matador'' stood
armed with hammer
The first blow of the hammer fall
ed and it took two more before the
OK fell. He was hoisted on a derrick
and the slaughtering process was
quickly completed, whereupon the
champion waved a bloody knife and
moved aside. Another OK was led out
and put through the same process. A
resident of Polish descent tried to
equal the record of the champion but
failed. After the contest, the car
casses were auctloned off to the as
sembled butchers who came from all
all over the city and whose enterprise
had provided the entertainment.

Sensible Methods Will Cure It-Tall-

Cure Catarrh.
Catarrh can never be cured by taxi
ing medicines into the stomach nor
by sprays, atomizers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long
ago discarded such ideas and not one
of them would be worth consideration
were it not for the fact that un-
scrupuious persons prey UP on the
ignorance of the people in regard to
new discoveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive in the
folds, crevices, hooks and corners Of
the mucous membrane that line the
nose, throat and chest, just so long
will you have catarrh.
There Is only one way to cure ca
tarrh, and that is to kill the germs.
There Is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when. 1t gets where
the germs are, and that Is Hyomei.
Hyomei is made chiefly from Aus
tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol
combined with other germ killing an
tlseptics. Just breathe it in through
the hard rubber inhaler that comes
with each outfit and relief is imme-
