The eighth wonder of the world
had Just taken place. Mrs. Newpop
had burst into floods of tears.
"Well, well, well!" exclaimed her
husband, petulantly. whats the

ooh, d-d-dear!" sobbed Mrs. New
pop, unanimously. "Th-there's an
article in this paper th-that says a
Ge-German chemist has discovered
an extract from c-c-coal that is five
hundred times sweeter than
sh-sh-shugar!"

burst into fresh Mysteries, 81 don't

On Various Alleged Cures
For Human Ills.
WHISKY MADE FROM POTATOES
And Other Pitfalls for suck.
erS, Got Uncle Sam
After a Yankee.
SIMPLE SOFT WATER RECIPE

Washington, d. c., Sept. 1.-THE
gullibility of the public was probably
never more extensively assailed than
by DR.. II. F. Merrill, of Gardner,
Maine. With proverbial Yankee in
genuity, he did not attempt to make
wooden nutmegs, but he did widely
advertise to extract from sawdust
cures for all stomach troubles, and
from the root of a common garden
flower a cure for epilepsy. In such
a prohibition State as Maine his
method of making whisky from po-
tatoes must have appealed to those
with an appetite, and he knew the
frailties of his fellow man when he
held out the allurement of converting
sweet cider, permissible in all locali-
ties, into the seductive, sparkling
champagne.
In his category he did not Overlook
the unfortunate who, because of adj
vanced age or for other reasons, had
bald places upon their top pieces. To
those he offered for sale an infallible
hair tonic which would in three
weeks restore luxuriant growth.
1t seemed to the postal officials
that he was offering too much for the
money, and an investigation followed,
which resulted in DR.. Merrill being
forced to disclose that his hair re-
storer was a 80 per cent. solution of
Tactic acid; that he made whiskey by
chopping potatoes fine, placing them
in a jar and pouring in molasses, the
mixture to stand three months.
To make champagne, he advised
his clients to place Is pounds of
brown sugar in a ten-gallon cask and
then fill with sweet cider, permitting
it to stand IS days. His cure for all
stomach troubles was horn bean or
iron wood, and he asserted that cpl
lepsy and other fits could be cured
by the root of the peony. He also
advertised a method of making hard
water soft, and to his dupes advised
that a two-ounce vial be suspended
in the water, promising that after
boiling, all impurities would adhere
to the vial.
Unable to prove to the postal Off
Gals that any of his formulas pos
sessed virtue, a fraud order was is
sued to-day shutting off to him the
use of the mails. He has been ar
rested and will be brought to trial.

He slept as weary toilers do,
She gazed up at the moon.
He stirred and said: Wife, come
to bed"
She answered, Soon, full soon"
ooh, that strange mystery of the
dead face.)
Her check was wan, her wistful
mouth
Was lifted like a cup.
The moon-full night dripped liquid
light,
She seemed to quaff it up.
(Oh, that unburied corpse that lies
in space.)
Her life had held but drudgery.
She spelled her Bible through;
OF books and lore she knew no more
Than little children do.
(Oh, the weird wonder of that pallid
sphere.)
Her youth had been a loveless waste,
Starred By no holiday,
And she had wed for food and bread,
She gave her work in pay.
ooh, the moon memories, vague and
strange and dear.)
She drank the nights insidious wine
And saw another scene
A stately room, rare flowers in
bloom,
Herself in silken sheen.
ooh, vast the chambers of the moon
and wide.)
A step drew near, curtain stirred,
She shook with sweet alarms,
Oh, splendid face, oh, manly grace,
Oh, strong, impassioned arms.
(Oh, silent moon, what secrets do
you hide?)
The warm red lips of thirsting love
On cheek and brow were pressed;
AS the bees know where honeys grow
They sought her mouth, her breast.
(Oh, the dead moon holds many a
dead delight)
The sleeper stirred and gruffiy spake,
Come, wife, where have you
been?"
She whispered low, Dear God, |
But tits the seventh sin"
ooh, the sad secrets of that orb of

Mrs. Wilcox said she had a full
picture in her mind of her previous
existence, but that it was nothing to
the experiences of an illiterate man
friend out in Colorado who had told
her in letters to her of spirit eXcur-
sions he had made (while asleep
with a girl spirit, on which they had
actually picked flowers. He knew he
had, because he awoke one morning
in the winter time with the yellow
rose in his hand. Mrs. Wilcox sees
no reason to doubt this story.

HOLLAND AN EXCEPTION.

A fact not generally known is that
the Netherlands has no patent law, be-
ing the only one of the commercial
nations so situated. Consul General
Listee writes to the bureau of manu-
features that any person can copy any
body else's machine or invention with
out restraint. and can manufacture and
sell it in opposition to the inventor
The fact is also made known that there
is no copyright law in the Netherlands
Consequently the literary efforts of ma
tives and foreigners alike can be COPIED
and published without fear Of suit for
damages. Trade marks, however. can
be registered and protected The same as
in other countries. Fortunately for the
neighboring nations. Holland is a small
country, and the Dutch do not, as a
rule, engage in manufacturing. More
over. when foreigner patents an arti-
Gle in other countries, he generally sees
to it that the Dutch markets are flood
ed with his goods at the earliest posi-
bic moment, with prices cut to the

event of Vardaman being successful,
Percy promises to resign forthwith, al
though his present term does not expire

FRAUD EASILY PRAcTIcED.

A Boston woman of great wealth.
who went in for art, has caused the ar
rest of a French count and countess
for selling her a collection of 'old mas
ters,' when the paintings were mostly
copies of the originals. The American
with money to spend who goes abroad
to buy pictures, porcelain, tapestry,
etc, finds the gentle and sOft-voiced
foreigner lying in wait for him with
the very articles most desired. The
history of each and every enc is given,
and the explanation made that owing
to financial embarrassment the duke.
or count or prince who owns them must
sell at a sacrifice. The bait is usually
swallowed and the American pays the
price demanded and returns to his ma
tive land with his art treasures. He
displays them to his friends and gIories
nightly in their possession. Sooner
or later along comes an expert who
touches off a bomb. Upon close inspec-
ton it is found that the cherished paint
ings and other supposed masterpieces
of the artists of centuries ago, are the
work Of men of modern times, mere
limitations, in fact, Then the cup Of
bitterness Of the purchaser is filled to
overlooking.
The Americans are not the only peo-
pie who get cheated in the purchase
of paintings. Every country in Europe
is loaded with copies of famous pictures,
some of them hanging upon the walls of
magnificent palaces. Every now and
then some lordling disposes of his col
lection TO a millionaire brewer or
banker and palms off the pictures as
originals. The art critics soon expose
the fraud and scandal results. Taking
the work of famous painters is a regu-
lar business abroad.
