MRS. VAN SAINT
TO BRING SUIT

w. K. Reath, of the firm of Reath
& Benson, lawyers. today confirmed
the report that they had been retained
to conduct the case of Mrs Elsie Van
Zandt, the Spokane widow, who will
ask for $4,000 damages from a we'll
known harness dealer for an alleged
insult to which she was recently sub
pected: Papers are to be filed in the SUI
perior court next Monday in case the
preliminaries can be arranged, though
the hearing will be too late for the
coming term of court. Mr.. Reath de-
clined today to mention any names,
saying the interview given out by the
plaintiff in the Falls City few days
ago is plain enough fer the aver
age person to form his own ideas as to
who the defendant will be.
When she went to Spokane two
weeks ago she went direct to the Wo-
mans Hotel at Madison street and

MYSTERY OF SIDE WHISPERS
Medical Lore Searched in Vain
for Specific for the
Growth.

Side-whlskers happen in the best fami-
lies For many years in the Vanderbilt
family side-whiskers were hereditary.
Research has yet found no certain rem
edy for side whskers. Nor has medical
lore or jurisprudence discovered their exact
cause. While youth may pass through
adolescence safely and progress toward
middle life without any indication Of side
whiskers. there is no knowing what day
the objects may squirt from his cheeks.
The whisker is a bilateral manifesto
ton. So far as medical and surgical his
tory reveals, there never has been an in
stance of single slde-whisker. Rheuma-
tism may affect one arm or one leg, ear
ache may attack the right or the left ear.
corns may show themselves upon only one
foot, but side-whiskers invariably demon
strate themselves simultaneously upon the
right and left sides Of the face.

brush style of the trouble. In this the

OLD STORIES OF THE PLAINS
Typical Tale Drawn from an Adj
venture of Brave 'POny Elk
press Bill"

Historians of the frontier tell many
stories of adventure, OF the
pony express riders who blazed the west
ward way for settlement. Among these
there Is no story more thoroughly typical
though there may be other stories more
remarkable, than than that of a young
rider who was assigned TO the important
task of carrying over his division a large
sum of money. In that mysterious manner
known only 10 the frontier life, the news
OF this valuable message spread abroad.
The rider, realizing the danger of his trust
fastened this money to the under side of
his saddle blanket, and consigned in its
stead heavily padded envelopes in the
saddle bags, Carrying his revolver ready
for instant use, this rider raced in the face
Of certain danger. In a lonesome spot in a
valley, I'm spite of his nerve and expecta-
tons, he was startled by being confronted
by two men who sprang from out of
shrubs salutihg him with the words: Hold!
Hands up, Pony Express Bill, for we know
ger. my boy, and what we're carrin'."
II carry the express, and it's hanging

SCANDAL SHOCKS THE zoo
Elephant Husband Takes His Trunk
and ElOpc" nth n Young
ncr.

Not since the afternoon that Bluebeard
the gigantic elk of the Bronx zoo, tried to
kill his fourth wife, that he might bask
unhindered in the light of another's glances,
have the social circles of the park been so
scandahzed as yesterday. Even the sloth
was stirred. And of course 1t was all the
woman's fault"
The principals in the latest disgraceful
situation are Khartoum, the little Indian
elephant, and Alice, formerly of Luna park.
Sultana, Khartoum's spouse, was a witness
to his shameful abandonment of his home
and her, but she was too proud to utter
word OF reproach. Only a select few sus-
pected Khartoum's attachment for Alice.
Though the elephants have occupied ad-

fatherly interest in her at first but she,
II seems, had more than a platonic affec-
ton for old Khartoum.
Alice just couldn't make her eyes be-
have" when she glanced at him. He seemed
to ignore her at first, but by and by it
was seen he was making ''goo-goo'' eyes,
too. Sultana reproved the old sinner once
or twice, but she saw that he was infatu-
ated and so took refuge in silence, Khar-
toum made no effort to disguise his feel
ings to his wife. Alice, the vampire
gloated over her victory and kept tantaliz-
ing her admirer with her caressing glances
The crash came yesterday afternoon
Khartoum sneaked away from his wife's
side and while no one was looking but
Sultana, he sklllfully unlocked the catch
of the gate in the fence between his cage
and Alces. She met him halfway and

but she ignored him for the first time in

to persuade the wife deserter to return TO

LAUDS LIFE IN SMALL CITY
Strenuous Pace of Metropolis Con-
trasted with the simple
Life.

Just about this time of the year begin
to wish that / never had gone to city to
live." remarked Arthur J. Phelps, OF New
York, quoted by the Washington Post.
Income isn't what counts. It's what you
get out of life.
Not long ago l visited my old home, a
little town in eastern Illinois, as l was
passing through on a business trip. l ex'
pect to go there later in the summer for
stay of two weeks so to see my folks
kept my eyes open during the two days
l was there. / was impressed by the air
of comfort and satisfaction that pervaded
the place. 1 was thoroughly convinced
when l left that the people of that town
were having a much better time than most
people have in New York. l began to regret
that 1 had ever tackled the city PROPOSE
ton. Now, here is an example:
zone Of the boys who was graduated from
the high school in my class still lives in the
home town. He has a small business, COM
pared to what we call a business in large
city. He is making, probably, not more
than 81 900 a year. Yet on that income in
this town of about 10000 inhabitants, he
has an assured position. He has managed
to buy home in a good street really what
you might call fashionable street. If
YOU were speaking of Washington. The
location would compare with one in Con-
necticut avenue. The customs of the place
do not prevent him from moving his own
lawn and managing the sprinkler. In fact,
IL seems to be the proper thing for the
head of the family to sit on the lawn in
the summer evenings and manipulate the
hose The only servant is a girl who does
the cooking and helps the mother to take
care of the children.
MY old chum is regarded as one of the
substantial citizens of the community. He
has a good credit at the banks. he and
his wife are invited everywhere. About
once a year they take trip to Chicago
and see some OF the new shows and buy
for the wife some finery they could not get
at home. The rest Of the time they stay
at home and enjoy themselves
Imagine what 1 could do on four times
as much money in New York. family
there is practically isolated. A man would
| never be known to more than fifty per-
sons, except those he might meet in bust
ness. His income would be regarded as In
! considerable. A New Yorker pays out
| thousands of dollars in rent for his flat
| and never owns a home. He has no lawn
no trees. His children are compelled tc
spend their time within four walls. If they
! go into the parks, they must have nurse
with them. It's an expensive arrangement

ker manifesting themselves forward Of the
ears.
Side-whisker pendule is the form wherein
they depend from the cheek at the lobe
of the ear, swinging downward toward the
collar much as Spanish moss hangs from
the oaks of Louisiana. In this form the
side-whiskers give the victim the appear
ance of a spaniel, but in a gentle breeze
the whiskers are family fluttered in a way
that is said to be pleasing to the wearer.
Side-whisker horizontalis is an acute
form Of the trouble. In this the side
whiskers project at a right angle from an
imaginary line drawn vertically down the
bridge of the nose. At a distance the vic
tins appear to have attempted to carry a
whisk- broom in their teeth and 10 have
choked upon 1t.
In its mild form side whiskeritis may b,
cured by removing the growth. When 1
becomes chronic, however, there is no rem
edy the victim resisting the appeals and
efforts Of friends and loved ones to sep
arate him from the side-whiskers.
1t is claimed that side whiskers are use
full in that they afford an occupation foI
the hands Of nervous men; but this argu.
ment is not thoroughly sound unless we
believe that nervous women are more nerv-
Gus than nervous men because they have
no side-whiskers to stroke.
The surest plan TO avoid them is to be
on the safe side and to have them re-
moved either by amputation or by the cleo

OLD SORES
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inflamma-
ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is a morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
of all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is
OBLIGED to remain. S. S. S. heals
Old Sores in a perfectly natural way.
1t goes into the blood, removes the
impurities and morbid matters, adds
nourishing qualities to this vital
fluid, and brings about the very con-
