MURDER IN BALTIMORE.
Story That May Or May
Not Be True.

Baltimore, Md, March 8.-Jeunie
Reed, aged q years, of this city,
was murdered Monday night by a
highwayman at Mt. Washington, a
residence suburb. She and Joseph
Mueller, to whom she was engaged
to be married, we're on the way to
visit friends at Mt. Washington and,
according to Mueller's statement,
left the car at South Avenue. When
they had walked half a block and
were in a lonely place they were
stopped by man, who, leveling q
pistol, called for their valuables.
Mueller, he says, gave up what mo-
ney he had, and then the highway
man demanded a necklace worn by
Miss Reed. Her reply was slap in
the face, upon receiving which the
man fire, the bullet striking the girl
behind the left ear Death was al
most instantaneous. The highway
man disappeared.

EASY TO MIX THIS.
Simple Recipe for Kidney or
Bladder Trouble or
Rheumatism.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, which
is said to be a positive remedy for
backache or kidney or bladder de-
rangement, if taken before the stage
Of Bright's disease.
Fluid extract of Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Cargon, one
ounce;Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Shake we'll in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingredi-
ents are all harmless, and can be OBJ
tanned at a small cost from any good
prescription pharmacy, or the mix
ture would be put up if asked to do
so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed
in rheumatic Affections with splen-
did results, he could not see why it
would not be splendid remedy for
kidney and urinary troubles and
backache as it has a peculiar action
upon the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter from
the blood the foul acids and waste
matter which causes sickness and
suffering. Those Of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in Civ
ing ii trial.

The following is told of the famous
Prince Of Condo He left his son
aged nine years, 80 louis dor to spend
while he himself was absent in Paris
On his return the boy came to him
triumphantly, saying
Papa, here is all the money safe.
l have never touched it once"
The prince, without making any re
ply, took his son to the window and
quietly emptied all the money out of
the purse into the street. Then he
said
eff you have neither virtue enough
to give away your money nor spirit
enough to spend it, always do this for
the future, that the poor may have a
chance of it."

The East Indian teacher who founded
the cult known as "Babism' was the
Bab"-Mirza Ali Mohammed. He was
born in Shiraz, Persia, in the year
1920. He was trained at first to COM
mercial life, but a pilgrimage to Mecca
awakened in his heart the religious
zeal which made him devote his life
henceforth to developing the faith
which he held. Upon his return to his
native city in 1914 he assumed the
title of Bah, or "Gate" leading to the
truth. In the eyes of the orthodox
Mohammedans the tenets Of the Bah
were rank heresy, and he was taken
to Tabriz and shot.-New York Amer

A More or Less Helpful Lesson For
Beginners.
Proceeding in a southerly direction
from the torso, we have the hips, use
full for padding, and the legs. The
legs hold UP the body and are some
times used in walking, but when rid
ing in automobiles they take up valu-
able space which otherwise might be
employed to better advantage.
Attached to the legs are the feet.
Some varieties Of feet are cold. Some
people are born with cold feet others
acquire cold feet, and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them.
The surface Of the body is covered
with cuticle which either hangs in
graceful loops or is stretched tightly
from hone to bone.
On the face it is known as complex
ion and is used extensively for COM
mercial purposes by dermatologists,
painters and decorators.
Between the cuticle and the bones
are the muscles. which hold the bones
together and prevent them from fall
ing out aud littering up the sidewalk
as we walk along.
Packed neatly and yet compactly in
side the body are the heart, the liver
and the lungs; also the gall, which in
Americans is abnormally large
These organs are used occasionally
by the people who own them, but
their real purpose is to furnish sur
geons a living.-Thomas L. Mason in

The Paris hairdresser cannot be per-

Frenchmen pay these charges with

Do 1t Quickly.

If the fiscal court OF Christian is
determined to test the new school
law, do it quickly 1t would be mat
ter for regret if the court of appeals
should declare the act to be uncon-
stitutional, for time is of value in
educational matters and setting
back the clock in Kentucky would
be attended with results approach

County Attorney Duffy, of Chris
tian county, regards the law as un-

spects and as unconstitutional. Only
the last reason needs consideration.
If the law is unconstitutional, the
sooner it is made known the better
and the sooner the case gets through
