A Rich Flint.

Rome, Aug. 2O.-A railway emPloyt
at Benevento found today in a railroad
carriage be was cleaning a box filled
with bank notes to the value OF 81, 700,'
600 lire, or $780, 900. He handed the
box to the station-msster. SO fer Moth
ing has been found to indicate the owner
OF the notes. The carriage In which
the box was found bad come from Gala
bris, the center of the quake zone, and
one theory is that the notes may have
been the spoil Of thieves, which, through
fright or otherwise, was lost.

FRIDAY EVENING AUG. 20. 1909.

EVEN If a husband promises to love
and honor his wife, he reserves the
right to give her q good cussiDg when
he thinks she needs it aud to do every
thing but beat her. This new philoso
ply of welded bliss is the law laid down
by Municipal Judge Gremmill OF CHI
cspo. He carries with 1t the authority
for the husband to sail home before sun
up with what is technically known IS o
Hbeauiiful bun" aboard. 1t invests
him with the privilege Of threatening to
do various sorts OF unlawful things

So in the future wives who object to be-
ing "doggoned" and "dodblasted" must
prsy for fair weather in the family Gar
den of Eden. The arm of the Law
wont interfere. So says Judge Gem
mill. "The law says that wife cannot
testify against her husband" said the
Judge, Except In cases OF desertion oil
of personal violence. And | wont 49,
sue warrants for arrests unless on such
charges. Why, some wives even want

swearing st them" This "divine right
of husbands TO do everything but spank
their wives was elacidsted when 20
yesr-old bride wanted her spouse pat In
isil because she "believed he was going
to desert her," Judge Gemmiil opined
that the belief would have to become 6

the trail of the husband who WAS about

This recalls to the mind Of the writer o.
this paragraph an occurrence in th'
mayors court In this city several year
ago when be was reporting the trials IN
that court The late Mayor Beckhsn
had before him q case Of a man who hsd
struck his wife. After hearing the evil
dence of the injured wife the mayor
quickly turned to the reporter and said,
"What do you think should be done with
this man ?" The reporter WIS taken COM
pletely by surprise but gathering his
wits replied: "Men who strike women
should be given the limit" and the
mayor acted accordingly. AS the re-
porter left the court room an old man
approached him and said, "Mr. -

of them oughtn't to be struck" auC

How to Prepare a Mixture to Cure
Rheumatism
SAYS THIS IS VERY 5000
Dread Disease. Which is Said to
Yield to Simple Recipe

To relive the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take a teaspOOnful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggist, and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and tortuous disease, but dan.
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
1t is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, q dose
or two daily, or W a few times a
week, would never have serious Kid.

RECEIVERS IN COURT.

A WatertOwn man last week recOv-
cred twenty-five dollars he lost in a
poker game. He didn't "get revenge
in the usual manner, but went into
court and sued and got judgment. The
law of this state is peculiar, and it
behooves those who enjoy the excite
ment of drawing to a bob-tailed flush
to understand it: Everyone who sits
in a game of chance, including the
owner Of the building, the leasee of
the property, the banker in the
game, and even the man who washes
out the cuspidors and the dog who
eats out of the barrel in the back
yard, becomes responsible for the los
ings of any person who wishes to
pike" and "pipe off" the game. The
fellow who cashes in the big pile
of blue chips is likely to have all
taken from him by the green one who
couldn't beat two of a kind. The law
is very discouraging to those who

before the proprietor could catch the
eye of even the bell boy. The most
oInately furnished rooms in our cities
are no mor the homes of the specu-

rated. 1t is now carried on i'm box
cars and in back rooms, and beer
forms the fluid of conviality instead
OF wine which nice flowed so freely.
The trend Of public opinion now seems
to be that good gambling and good
business are not apt to go together,
and the man who has a reputation of
being good at poker is pretty carefully
watched by the credit men who attend
o his orders. He may, once in a while,
get back his losings, in cash; he may
even keep ahead of the game as far
cash goes; but he cannot hold q
solid place In the business world of
today, and IL he gets into trouble he
will find that his ability to get help
will be in inverse proportion to his
ability to hold a good hand over the
poker table.-Ex.
