The girl with the nervous prostra-
ton and the hiccOughs promptly add
ed Mysteries to her other complaints
The doctor said he would not treat
the case if that woman We're allowed
to see his patient again.
An unbelievable case of tactlessness
you say. Yes. but it actually happen
ed and there are in this world a great
many such people who somehow al
ways manage to say the most discour-
aging thing, and they do an incalcul-
able amount of harm.
And the queerest thing about it is
that they are almost always WELL
meaning and would be heartbroken if
they knew the trouble they made
The habit seems to be like certain
diseases whose victims never realize
they are afflicted with them.
Are you ever guilty? Not of such
blatantly tactless things as those l
have quoted, but any lesser mistakes
along that line?
Do you ever say. How tired YOU
look?" or Whats the matter. Aren't
you feeling Well?' or Haven't you
grown thin or any of those thought
less little things that may be far from
little to those who hear them?
There is no need to lie. but if you
cannot say You are look ing well,''
why comment on personal appearance
at all?

The new chancellor has been a friend

He was first government assessor.

oi.appe.r.nee Of John Crowley.

John Crowley. son OF State Sena-
tor Crowley Of Rocky Ford. is miss
ing from his room at the Southern
hotel. a letter TO his pretty twenty
year-old wife. saying that he intend
ed to drown himself in Lake Mime
qua, is in the hands of the police.
lnfatuation for a dashing young
waitress at the Southern hotel and
financial difficulties, resulting from
his stay in Pueblo, are thought to
furnish cause for his disappearance.
The police of Pueblo have been
investigating the affair all week, but
no trace of the young fellow was
found about the lake, and the Off
GERS are inclined to the belief that
he has disappeared with the wish
that his wife and parents consider
him dead.
Crowley had been married but four
months and Is but l9 years old He
came to Pueblo during the state fair
and accepted employment with a
patent coat-rack concern He stopped
at rooming house on Victoria
avenue, but later moved to the South
ern hotel, where he is said to have
met the waitress, who now claims that
he was taking her TO shows at the
same time his young wife was for
warding money upon which to live
in Pueblo.
There is no question in the minds
of the officers but what the young

city, instead of drowning himself as

THE Oemonstrator."

Young ladies' have recently been
calling at the homes OF our neigh

II is a little trick.
Different baking powders are mixed
with a little water and boiled by the
"iemonstrator." The kind OF powder
that the "demonstrator" is paid to
sell or recommend appears to be all
right, but the other kinds OF powder
appear to leave sediment or hard
cake In the dish. II is quite mislead'

done to conceal one condemning fact.

this matter will do well to say to
the "demonstrstor" next time she
calls please give me a statement
In sritinG that your baking powder
does not contain alum"-snd see what
happens. Whatever else happens. II
Is a safe prophecy that the written
statement requested will not BE- given

A Pointed Letter.

A West Plains, Mimi, physician
last week received personal circu-
lar letter-the same as thousands Of
other Minnesota citizens are receiv-
ing-from Sears. Roebuck & Co, the
well known mail order house of Chi
cago. This letter which Is rather
cleyerly worded. concludes: IF there
is any reason why you do not buy
of us, please give us your reasons
in the enclosed stamped envelope
and We will strive to remove the
cause"
Your letter OF recent date asking
why | had not traded with you for a
long time is received. and as you ask
me to tell you frankly why. viii
give you few reasons. First | am
in business in this community and

It's varied industries for my support

town for their support II l do not
give them mine. Second. In looking
over my book fail to find either
Mr.. Sears or Mr.. Roebuck's or other
OF your company's names. which re-
minds me that neither OF these gen
uemen have ever given me a penny's
patronage. Why Is this? Am l too
far away. or have neither OF them
needed . physician. or are they
afraid Of the mail order plan when
II comes to the practice Of medicine? !?
I can certainly give ~ good satisfac'
ton by mail as your house can. and
will appreciate = call from either Of
them when In need Of medical ser
vice. Third. In looking over the
subscription lists for improving our
streets and public highways. l have
failed to find the name Of either
member Of your firm down for one
penny to assist In the work. Also.
I have been unable To find your
name on any OF the charity lists
where help has been rendered to our
poor. In other words. you are not

ing Hand society. In fact, In all the
movement for the betterment Of
our condition. where our commun.
ity has needed the united efforts Of

1RIED TO BOSS UMPIRE

Yesterdays game between Pueblo
and Topeka came TO an abrupt ter
mination before it had been started,
Manager Hogriever taking his charges
from the field, when he was ordered
from the field for an argument with
Umpire Glenalvin. The Indians re-
fused to play, and Umpire Glenalvin
awarded the game to Topeka.
The action of Manager Hogriever
occasioned no surprise among the
fans who happened to overhear lit
tie conversation between Hogriever
and Glenalvin before the game start
ed. The Pueblo was sore from the
results of Sundays game in which he
was given his extradition papers. This
always carries with it a fine of ten
dollars. Just before the game started
Glenalvin asked the scrappy manager
for his remittance. Whereupon the
bellicose individual engaged in some
fiery oratorical flights telling His UNI
pirical Majesty a few things which
the laws of society bar from publica-
ton.

Ing the Witches as pennarlt winners.
Why they should not be selected az
having an even chance with Omaha
Sioux City and Des Moines for the
championship is not apparent from this
angle Hollands men it is true did not
show any too much class in the four
game series here. but the fact that 1t
has completed a trip around the entire
circuit and still maintains its command
ing position is Indication that 1t must
be counted upon as q serious contender
for the rag. Holland has collected a
team very similar to that OF the Sioux
City squad a year ago. 1t is composed
of only fair hitters. base runners who
use good judgment on the sacks and a
splendid pitching staff. With Weaver
the club has one of the lleadiest back
stops in the league, and to top ali Hol-
vantage of every mistake of his OPP
ponent. In Brennan. Smaner and Atchi-
son the Jobbers have a trio of twirlers
hard to beat, and their effective work
has made 1t possible for many games
to be won. If the pitching staff con-
tinues to deliver the goods the Izzies
