MurqittrOyd Successful,

After a great deal of effort and
correspondence Murgittroyds, the
popular druggists, have succeeded
in getting the DR.. Howard company
to make special half-price intro
ductory offer on the regular so cent
size of their celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dys-
pepsia.
This medicine is recent discov-
cry for the cure of all diseases Of
the stomach and bowels. 1t not
only gives quick relief, but it makes
permanent cures.
DR.. Towards specific has been
so remarkably successful in curing
constipation, dyspepsia and all liver
troubles. that Murgittroyd's are
willing to return the price paid in
every case where it does not give
relief.
So great is the demand for this
specific that Murgittroyd's have
been able to secure only a limited
supply, and every one who is trou-
bled with dyspepsia, constipation
or liver trouble should call upon
them at once, or send % cents, and
get so doses of the best medicine
ever made, on this special half
price offer with their personal guar
antee to refund the money IL 1t
does not cure.

MAN WHO KILLED HIS WIFE
ON HER PLEADlNGS TO END
HER SUFFERING Is GIVEN
EXONERATtON.

PARIS, Oct. ia man whose
wife Is dying of an agonizing dis
ease is justified in killing her to
put an end to her suffering, if she
implores him to do so.
So jury decided in the court of
assizes here today and acquitted
Edmond Baudin, who at her pray
err, shot and killed his wife on JAN
uary 81 last.
Nine. Baudin had been afflicted
with asthma for years. 1t gripped
her throat. 1t was a weight on her
lungs, it stopped her breath. She
begged her husband to aid her by
killing her quickly.
Baudin, a mechanic, 80 years old
and a rought and plain-spoken man,
sought to justify his act with words
as straightforward as they were
dramatic
The tears streamed from his
eyes while he testified. The ju-
rors also wept and the women in
the courtroom were semi-hysterical.
The presiding Judge, who disap-
proved of the jury's verdict, re-
marked:
For moment the bandage on
the eyes of Justice was handker.

not sleep. If she laid her head on

on. 1.-THE medicine she was taking

medicine. You know we are poor.
I am gone. Medicine will do me no

FASHIONS

IAis year the USE vi .lc uu,.u4l
has become a fine art. For coats
the buttons are almost always large
and comparatively few of them are
used.
A silk shirtwaist to match the
skirt with which 1t is worn always
looks well, and If frightened up by
linen turnovers is especially at
tractive.
The semi-princess dresses are so
popular that many women are Sc
lecting separate waists and skirts
and joining them effectively in
semi-princess style, thus giving in
dividual effects.
Favorite materials for school
coats for the little ones are the
heavy tweeds, plain or with double
face, and wool serges.
Buttons and loops made from
either like or different material
may be employed for trimming pur-
poses on young girls dresses.

able velvet softness is heralded in
an Alpine shape. trimmed with one
huge cabochon of wide ribbon vel

MRS. SPARROW eossIPs.

'I've just been visiting with
Mrs. Robin. She has been such
q pleasant neighbor l don't like to
see her move south next month.
She is more aristocratic than we
sparrows are, and she is rich, for
she goes south every winter. But
she Is Always pleasant. She has
such p,etty home, well shaded
by green leaves on swinging
branch of an apple tree which is
right next to our house. If / do
say 1t myself, our nest is in the
best place. Some kind man left a
hole In the board under the caves
of his house. and we built in there.
It makes such warm house in
cold weather. We have to be par
ucular about that, as we live here
all the year round, while Mrs.
Robin only camps here in the sum-
mer time.
One of her children fell out of
the nest one day when she was
feeding them. He was SO greedy
that he leaned far over the edg
Of the nest to get the worm ahead
of his brothers, and he fell right
down on the ground in front OF a
dog. The dog grabbed him in his
mouth quick as wink, but his
mistress made him put the bird
down on the ground unhurt. Mrs.
Robin and | were SO frightened
that we flew down on the ground
chipping loudly, and tried to peck
the dog, but he only wagged his
tail and didn't seem to care a bit.
l don't mind dogs so very much,
but l am so afraid of cats! That
Is one nice thing about our house
The cats can't reach it, and the
door is so tiny | have to squeeze
through it and my children aren't
at all likely to fall out. When

The Plain Truth.

Digesting food alone does not
cure indigestion or other stomach
troubles any more than cathartic
cures constipation-is temporary
relief only. But digesting the food,
healing and cleansing the stomach
and intestines does restore them
to the normal condition, and in that
way a permanent cure can be
made. PowelTs Stomach Remedy
does this. 1t is the only product
that will do this; it relieves the
first dose, and is very pleasant to
take. Powell's Stomach Remedy
can be depended upon; it does
make permanent cures. Do not ac-
cept of any substitutes. All up to
date druggists sell it.

day to the charge of killing her
stepfather with an AK while he was

An Evening Reflection.

/ was sitting in a prison cell,
One lonely Sunday eve.
Thinking of one whom love we'll.
And was trying not to grieve.
was thinking of when I left her.
Little dreaming should fall.
When a merry peal of laughter
Came from outside the prison wall.
Twas the laughter of little child.
That came ringing in my ears;
From one whom sin had not beguiled.
Nor sorrow yet caused tears.
And as the child cried out with glee-
So happy, freeand gay.
A memory dear came back to me,
Of happy. bygone day.
could see my dear old mother,
With her smile and features mild.
When she used to think no other
Was as sweet as her dear child.
But now her golden locks are gray
Or nearly SO. fear.
And it makes me sore at heart to say.
They've changed since came here.
oh, if that child could only glance
Within these high stone walls;
oh, for the power to enhance
That child before it falls.
oh, if that child could only look.
And see and understand.
And realize the sorrow
Represented by each mani
oh, the innocence of childhood
Is there anything so fair?
Only song-birds of the wildwood
With such innocence compare.
oh, if that child could thus remain
So pure and full of love;
And go through life without stain.
And fit for its home above.
