NO sTUCKY RECONCILIATION.
Action of Wife Will Depend Largely
on Action of Court.

Ottawa, Kan, Sept. 21.-The much
talked of reconciliation between Mrs.
W. NJ. Stuckey and her erring preach
er husband has not materialized to
any noticeable extent. The wife is in
this city and has sent her husband a
change of clothing and with her child
rem visited him in his cell at the
county jail.
The party of three spent twenty
minutes with the husband and father,
who, two months ago, abandoned
them.
The emotion which the ex-minister
showed Saturday evening when hui
inflated and tired and conscience
nouncement that his wife would see
him, was not in evidence until his
wife'S tears finally oVercame him and
he, too sobbed bitterly. The bars sep
direct meeting. No opportunity for
kisses or forgiveness was sought by
either side. With her first words Mrs.
Stuckey gave way to her grietf.
Whatever made you do this?" she
asked, and for time could not pro-
coed for her sobs: The children, af-
fected by their mothers grief, wept
also. Stuckey stood c1asping the bars
and mumbled a reply which was
scarcely audible, but which plainly
was not meant to apply directly to the
question.
The conversation between Stuckey
and his wife was a sobbing repetition
of the first question. What made you
do this?" put in various forms and a
repetition of the mumbled replies by
which the ex-minister gave evidence
to his shame and sought to convey the
fact that he could no. account for his
treatment of his family.
It is said in Williamsburg that Mrs.
Stuckey has not been recOnciled to
her husband, and that she will not
give him support during his trial. Her
actions will, it is declared, be guided
altogether by the outcome of the trial
on the charges supported by the Suth-
erlands. If Stuckey should be acquit-
ted his wife would then determine
what her attitude toward him would
be.

Pinchot and His Unique Den.

Washington. Sept. 21.-Gifford
Pinchot, forester of the United States,
who is now so conspicuously in the
public eye a result of his con-
troversy with Secretary of the Interior
Rallinger, has one of the most mag
nificent homes at the national capi-
tai and one that is thoroughly uniqu..
Strictly speaking, the house is that
of Mrs. Pinchot, mother of the for
ester, for the energetic millionaire,
who is in public life for the fun of the
game, is a bachelor.
However, there is a wing or annex
of the main mansion that is Clifford
Pinchot's own domain and here he en-.
tertains from time to time many of
the most prominent men of the nation.
The annex is in iteslf larger than any
ordinary house.
Practically the entire first floor is
given over to a combination "den,"
study, library and lecture hall. In
deed, the size of the apartment is best
indicated by the fact that it is large
enough to constitute an auditorium
for the beautifully illustrated private
lectures which Forester Pinchot gives
occasionally for the benefit of friends
and co-workerS.
The walls are hung with wonderful
paintings of western scenery, with

IF 1T DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection
Is an Inherited Blood Disease
Not

Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether skin affection is sign of q
blood disorder or simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
the Rosser Drug Co., 523 Kansas ave-
nue., or any good druggist who han
dies pure drugs and obtain so cents
worth of poslam. Apply this, and If
the itching stops at once and the
trouble is cured in a few days it may
be set down as having been eczema, as
this is the way poslam acts in the
worst cases of eczema, and in curing
acne, herpes, blotches, letter, piles,
salt rheum, rash, BARRIERS and other
forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all sur
face skin affections.
Any one who will write to the Elmer
gency Laboratories, No. 80 West
Twenty-fifth street, New York can Sc
cure, by mail free of charge, a supply
sufficient to cure a small eczema sur
face or clear a complexion overnight
and remove pimples in twenty-four
hours.
