CONSCIENCE STRICKEN.
A Thief Returns $1,000 Which He
Stole From Employers.

New York. Sept. IA conscience
stricken thief wrapped $1,000 in bills in
a newspaper with note saying that he
dared not face his priest and left the
package on a mail box at the Man
haitian end of the Brooklyn bridge,
where many thousands Of persons
passed it unnoticed.
1t was addressed to the Aiken-Lan-
bert company, manufacturers of foun-
tain pens. in Maiden Lane. and when
delivered there. it partly solved the
mystery of a theft three weeks ago. At
that time some one stole 81, 200 from the

Detectives were unable to find the
money or the thief and last Saturday a
member of the firm notified all en-

that he could avoid publicity by re-
turning the money. 1t is believed that
word of this nature reached the thief

GIRL IS A HEROINE.
Gun in Hand She Prevented Wholesale
Jail Delivery.

Lawrenceburg Ind. Sept Miss
Alice White, the Is year old sister of
Sheriff White, prevented a jail delivery
here by arming herself with revolver
and holding three desperate men at
bay until help reached her, and the es-
Gaping prisoners were safely locked in
separate cells.
Sheriff White was temporarily alb
sent from the Jail and his sister heard
a noise that attracted her attention.
She tiptoed into the corridor and saw
three prisoners using a file on the bars
of the window overlooking the jail
yard. Two of the bars had been sawed
III half and they were at work on the
third which barred their way to lib
erty.
Miss White secured a revolver and
hurrying out into the yard confronted
the prisoners just as one of them was
getting out of the window.

INJURED BY GIANT FISH.
When Hooked 1t Leaped Into Boat
and Fought Captors.

New York, Sept. IA giant fish
known as a stingaree was landed by
a party of fishermen in a boat in
Jamaica Bay and as a result of his
battle with the fierce monster, Ar
mand Muller, of Brooklyn, is in a
precarious condition in st. Mary's
hospital
Muller was fishing for sea bass
when he felt a strong tug at his line
Others helped him drag the fighting
fish to the surface, and then, when
they tried to let go of it, the
stingaree leaped into the vessel.
1t is a large fish with fiat wing like
sides and long rat tail. near the
base of which is bony spike six
inches long. This fish weighed a lit
tie more than 100 pounds. Its mode
of attack is to wrap its fiat wing-like
sides about its prey and suffocate it.
The stingaree wrapped itself about
MuIler's legs and plunged it's spike
into his ankle, severing an artery. AS
soon as the other fishermen had
killed the fish Muller was taken into
shore as quickly as possible and to
the hospital. He had lost much
blood, however. and his recovery is
considered doubtful.

Fat Folks StiHe
in Hot Weather

Is it any wonder that the fat people
stifle in the hot weather? They are jam
med full of fat the inside. The lungs
demand great quantities of air each
breath or beat of the heart so that the
oxygen in the air can purify the blood
and send it back to the body to maintain
strength and vitality. Most people do not
use one-half the capacity of the lungs,
which are nothing more or less than some
500 100000 little cells like toy balloons,
which, when they are not inflated with
air, lie flat If the fat that crowds the
lungs reduces the capacity of the lungs
to take in air you will see what an aw-
full time the blood and body has of get
ting its oxygen or vitality The reason
of this fat is that the digestive machinery
of man is not working right Marmola
Tablets. that have created such favorable
comment among physicians and fat peo-
pie by their wonderful reductions in so
short a time, stop the body from making
fat They are harmless and reduce fat
at the rate of from u to ID ounces per
day. You do not need diet or exercise and
you may eat when and what you Will
The beauty of Marmola Tablets is not
alone their ability to reduce fat. but they
leave wrinkles or flabby rolls of skin
after the fat goes away. They are sold
