A HAPPY SURPRISE
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurle'
A long time ago, wnen my grandma
was a little girl, she lived in MiChi-
gan. Her home was little log cabin
and her parents We're very poor. The
nearest town was about twelve miles
away.
Mr.. and Mrs Rutherford worked
very hard to send the children to
school. Grandma, who was the Oldest
of five children, was only 10.
1t was nearing st. Valentines day,
but it was hardly noticed by these
people, as they had but few friends.
They got their mail only when they
went to town after it.
The morning of February IA was
cold and crisp. Mr.. Rutherford took
the children to school and then went on
to town. On his way a man stopped
him and gave him letter addressed
to his oldest daughter, Mary. 1t
wasn't in an envelope as our letters
come in, but was wrapped in a Piece of
paper and sealed with wax.
When grandma came home she
opened it and found it to be little
valentine poem, made up by one of her
schoolmates. That was her first Valen-
tine, and she kept it among her little
keepsakes of the early days.

A SELFISH GIRL

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Anna was a little girl seven years
old. She had beautiful dark brown
eyes and a black curly head. Anna,
who was a spoiled child, did not like
her oldest sister to make good remarks
about her playmates.
One day when Anna had a playmate
over. her sister came in and made
her playmate a very pretty dress for
her doll Anna was very jealous and
said, Ruth, make me a dress for my
doll"
"You have plenty of dresses. my
dear. Charlotte hasn't any. 1t won't
be nice for you to have a great-deal
and her not any. Would it?' said
her sister?
1T wouldn't, but l need some
dresses" said Anna.
Anna forgot all her anger and went

FOR ANIMALS AND BIRDS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
one day in August we were all play

sudden we heard a scream.
We ran over where we thought the
noise came from.

bird that had evidently fallen from its
nest. Taking it up tenderly we took it

SWOLLEN ANKLES
Shooting Pains in the Cords
and Joints.
Symptoms of Inflammatory Rheu-
matism Which QuickIy DiSap-
peared When the Patient
Tried the Right
Remedy.

Almost any pain or ache which cannot
readily be accounted for is usually CLASH
fed as rheumatism. Some of these are
transient and cure themselves.
An actual attack of rheumatism is
very difficult to cure so that it will stay
cured. Ordinary treatment aims only
to relieve the pain until the attack wears
itself out. Then it is liable to occur
again and usually does, year after year.
The only lasting cure is secured by
driving the rheumatic poison from the
system and building up the blood so that
the disease is prevented from obtaining
q new foothold
farmer, of r. F. d. No. 3, Indianola,
Iowa, says:
81 was a sufferer from inf1ammatory
rheumatism for eighteen years. The
disease followed a cold when was
about twelve years old and grew worse
each year until it finally crippled my
ankles. The pains started in the cords
of Tly neck, went TO my hips and knee
joints and at last settled III my ankles.
Both of my ankles were so swollen that
/ could not walk for some time. The
pains, which were constant, would shoot
from my ankles to my toes and 1t often
seemed that could not stand them
could not get good nights sleep and
was often confined TO bed for weeks.

HEAVY DAMAGES ASKED
Suit Brought Against Thomas F.
Walsh for Alleged Conspiracy
by New York Lawyer.

Washington, March A.-One quarter of
a million dollars as damages for alleged
conspiracy and libel, are demanded of
Thomas f. Walsh. the mine owner of
Colorado and Washington, in a suit filed
today in the supreme court Of the District
of Columbia by Dethlef c. Hansen, a
New York lawyer.
Joined as defendants with Mr.. Walsh
are his Washington representatives, Tur-
ner A. Wickersham and Delaney Nicoll,
COurtlandt V. Anabel, John d. Lindsay
and George Gordon Battle, members of
the New York bar.
. Hanson alleges that Mr.. Walsh caused
the publication in a Denver newspaper
July II, 1865, statement in which 1t is
alleged he referred to Hansen as black
mailer and perjurer"
The plaintiff says he was retained by
Violette Watson, a minor, to prosecute
a suit against Walsh, which he filed Sep
TENDER 6, 1904 in the New York courts.
He retained as associate counsel former
Secretary of the Treasury John G. Car
Isle. Before the case came to hearing
Hansen says, Walsh's attorneys effected
a settlement for 5000 and refused to set
tie his claim for attorneys fees. He de-
clares that the defendant then entered
into a conspiracy to ruin his standing as
a member of the bar and caused charges
to be preferred against him with the
grievance committee of the bar associa-
ton. Only a portion of these charges
were sustained, he says, and he was dis
barred for a term of one year.

DYNAMITE BOMB THROWN
Gymnasium in Rear of Chicago Sa'
loon Wreck and People in vi
cinity Thrown Into Panic.

Chicago. March 2.-Bomb throwers
again became active in Chicago tonight.
They threw a she'll loaded with dynamite
into a gymnasium under construction in
the rear of a saloon owned by Robert ID.
Lincoln. on the west side.
The explosion wrecked the gymnasium,
shattered the windows in adjoining build
ings and threw passengers in an elevated
train into a panic. The shock shook the
elevated structure so severely passengers
feared the trains would be toppled over,
and only the presence of mind of the
guards prevented serious consequences.
Scores of families were frightened from
their homes by the explosion. No one
was injured.
The police assert the bomb throwing
was due to labor troubles, and has no
place in the long series of explosions in
the so-ealled gamblers war.

York and Landed in Jail.

New York, March PA man who says
he is Alfred Mcdonald, % years old, was
arrested today at the house of Miss Addy
Mckenzie and locked up at police head
quarters, charged with extortion. He said
he was the agent of others, of whose
business he was ignorant.
Miss Mckenzie, who lives with her two
sisters, was called up at her house last
Monday by a man who said he was
Arthur Santrock. a reporter for the As
ISOLATED Press and who demanded $50
as the price for suppressing story which
he declared reflected on family affairs.
The Associated Press employs no such
person.
After frequent consultations with police
Headquarters, Miss Mckenzie finally
made an appointment for today with a
man who said he was Howard 7. Will
liams. acting for SantrOck, at which she
agreed to pay him the $50. A man called
up the house shortly before noon today,
and on confirmation of the appointment
appeared at the house. Miss Helen
Dougherty, friend of the family, handed
him a roll of paper around which had
been wrapped a marked ten dollar Dill
At the same time the chauffeur and but
Ter of the family rushed out from a front
basement entrance and hustled him INTO
the house, where he was held until the
arrival of detectives.

Will Become More Serious.

The authorities have issued orders that
no one shall be permitted to go beyond
Belpasso, and soldiers have been stationed
at various points to see that these orders
are Obeyed. The village of BOrrello is
surrounded by the lava, and the inhab-
itants have fled to Belpasso.
Professor RiccO, director of Mount
Aetna observatory, said tonight: The
eruption is very grave and / think it will
become much more serious. The lava has
covered five miles in sixteen hours, and
if my calculations are right the eruption
Of the volcano will not be short"
DR. Walter Craven, an Englishman,
after his return today from Nicolosi,
where he made photographs of the lava,
said: Horrible detonations made the
ground tremble under my feet, and it was
impossible to keep the camera steady
more than for a moment.
Many tourists. among whom Americans
are conspicuous, are pouring into Catanla
to view the spectacle. Later reports from
NicOlosi said that the lava is moving at
the rate of about 100 feet an hour ana
that 1t has passed over Mount San Leo.
Cardinal Francisco Nava, archbishop or
Catania, visited Nicolosi this afternoon.
