TOLD HIS WOES TO
AN AMERICUS MAN.
Oliver, of Climax Fame. En-
Route to Convict Work.

Mr.. Frank Mclaughlin had the,
shall it be called pleasure" yester-
day Of riding with South Georgia's
wizard of finance, the man who pro-
posed to convert the village of Gil
max into a metropolis and succeeded
In burning the people of that section
in such way that his name will for
half century to come be synony-
nous IN that district with all-round
sickness and rascality.
Mr.. Mclaughlin went into the smo-
ker of the G. S. & F. en- route to Cor
dele and found a gentlemanly look
ing man with a van dyke beard sit
ting in a corner seat by himself. On
the opposite seat was another man
who seemed to be always keeping
an intent look on the van dyke beard
ed man, in fact somewhat offensive
in his stare.
Every passenger in the smoking
compartment seemed to be interested
in the man alongside of whom the
Americas man dropped and began a
conversation without knowing who
he was.
Just as he had passed a few re-
marks about the weather, condition
of the crops, and the death of King
Edward, a couple OF boys came along
the aisle, stopped, took a long look
at the man with the van dyke beard
and then moved off with alaugh.
The man was visibly annoyed

going up to serve four years impris'
onment for a crime 1 never commit

Mr.. Mclaughlin expressed some in
terest, and the former banker and
present convict said:
ut is unjust to make me serve time
for bigamy, as they are doing. The
woman who protested to be my first
wife was never married to me. She
was married to my twin brother. My

generally who had been ruined, OF
almost ruined, by the schemes O
Oliver and gave no sympathy.
Oliver, strange to say, persists il
telling every one who comes his way
his absurd story about the mysterious
twin brother who has been an evi
spirit to him during all his career.

Lulu was two and half years old
when the first huckleberries she had

in a covered dish. When the cover

Oh JOY! Kissing Is Not Dangerous

No, sir. There Is no possible reason

NHICAGO.-Prince Tokugawa Iyesato,

Court, military and municipal off-
Gals. working at high pressure. com
pleted the details of the arrangements
for the kings funeral ceremonies this
week The preliminary obsequies be-
gan Saturday, when, the kings body,
after his brother, the Duke OF Con-
naught. took his farewell look, was
removed from the simple death-room
to the splendid throne-room of the
palace, which was converted into a
chapelle ardente. where ii remained
privately in state Sunday and Monday.
with professional pomp to Westmin-
ster hail. where it will lie publicly in
state until Friday.
Not even at the time of the death
of Queen Victoria was the rush for
mourning so immediate and universal
as since the death of the king. AL
ready every woman in London is wear
ing black costume. Many of these
are quite out of style and have evil
IDENTITY been laid away for years.
Indeed. the sudden mourning has
completely revolutioniZed the spring
modes. The mummy skirt and the
cart wheel hat have disappeared, the
desire of every woman apparently be-
ing to appear inconspicuous. The
large firms have ordered their en-
ployes to buy mourning clothes. Wo-
men of all classes are making every
effort to show respect for the dead
monarch. Many ladies are discarding
spring costumes which they recently
bought, and are wearing rusty black.
The craze for mourning has, indeed,
gone to such an extent that 1t means
pecuniary loss to many people.
George Bernard Shaw, the dramatist,
in a letter to the Times, protests
against this. He says:
Take the case of a man with
profession or business from which he
has a few hundred pounds a year,
with three daughters at the nearest
high school. The school is compelled
to so in mourning. The dresses pro
vided for the season have to be dis
carded and new black dress bought.
To court official it may be incon-
ceivable that so trifing an expense
should be hardship to any one. The
remedy is to drop the vague express
sion decent mourning and to define
the wearing of violet ribbon as ap-
propriate mourning for royalty. This
would be correct, inexpensive and
pretty. Why our schools should be
deliberately made hideous with black
because an honorable public career
has come to its natural close in all
peace and fulfillment and with a
cheerful memory is not apparent to
any healthy minded person"
Mr.. Shaw's suggestion has been fol-
lowed by many men, so that instead
OF wearing a black band purple in
set in the sleeve is regarded as the
proper thing.
Mr.. Roosevelts arrival in London
Monday was without ostentation.

LIGHT TO STERILIZE WATER
Mercury vapor Lamp Of Quartz viii
Furnish II in Any Quantity
Easy and Cheap.

A new, easy and cheap way to ster-
ilize water is reported from Paris. In
these days of war against microbes
many investigators are working upon
many methods; this particular one
makes use of the mercury vapor lamp.
Everyone knows these queer lamps
they are used at the postoffice. for In
stance-and knows the cadaverous,
sickly green light they give. They are
made of long glass tubes, within
which, almost in a complete vacuum.
mercury vapor is made luminous by
electricity.
The disagreeable color OF the light
they give has prevented their common
use. But scientists cannot let them
alone, because the light is very rich
in those ultraviolet" rays-rays that
the eye cannot see, but which have
great power. One power they have is
completely to sterilize water. MI
crobes cannot live in the ultra violet"
rays and it is to their presence that or
binary sunlight owes what sterilizing
power 1t has.
But the glass of the vapor lamp
shuts off these rays almost complete
ly. This difficulty two French inven-
tors-one of them a woman-have
overcome by making the tube of fu-
sible quartz, which permits the rays to
pass. With a little lamp only four
inches long, using current costing less
than a cent an hour. they have con-
structed an apparatus that completely
sterilizes 600 quarts of water in that
time.
This removes sterilized water from
the list of scientific curiosities and
makes 1t possible for anyone WHO Is
near an electric light wire to mae 1t
for himself.

G AN FRANCISCO.-As horrible ex-

Court plaster a Preventive Of Colds.

Court Plaster Preventive OF Colds.

tell you why His preventive has
been court plaster applied externally.
Every night upon retiring he has past

Il Is improper breathing that causes
