One snowy winters day Jack was COM
ing home from town. He heard crowd
of boys in the next street laughing and
shouting in great glee. They called to
him to join them and see the fun. And
what do you suppose their fun was?
They were throwing snowballs at a
poor old man, who was trying to earn
little money ishoveling snow from the
sidewalks. Jack had always been taught
to be thoughtful and kind to old people;
and he was very angry with the boys.
He stopped them. telling them they
ought TO be ashamed of themselves Then
he ran over to the old man, who was
blowing on his hands to keep them warm
and took his shovel and began working
for him.
The boys were shamed when they saw
this, and went away TO hunt Tor run
elsewhere. The poor man was so pleased
and thanked Jack again and again. VINO
do you think had the most fun, Jack or
the other boys?

upon this finding the heirs OF the dead
millionaire will demand an Investigation
by the state to ascertain the cause OF the
death last fall Of these two men. This
definite statement was made today by a
representative OF the Swope estate follow
ing the receipt OF a partial report Of the
chemists in Chicago.
The poison, It is stated, was found in the
livers and not in the stomachs Of the dead
men. whether or not II was in sufficient
quantity to have cause death and was ad-
ministered for that purpose must be de-
termined by a ~coroner's Inquest. This in
quest probably viii be begun next Tuesday.
Upon the verdict returned by this body
will depend on the action OF the county
prosecutor.
The exact conclusions reached 80 far by
the Chicago chemists are being guarded
closely. II is believed they are still pur-
suing their investigation.
John G. Paxton, executor OF the Swope
estate, who received a message yesterday
from DR.. Hektoen requesting him to go to
Chicago for a conference announced today
that he would leave for that city tonight.

Man ara VIE Deportsd.

MITCHELL, s. D., Jan. 29.-(Special.)-A
few weeks ago Arthur Bruhm, a German,
40 years old, was taken into custody on
the charge Of insanity. 1t developed, how
ever, that he was Just mentally unbalanced
and not very violent, but It was evident
that he woul become a county charge. II
learned through the examination that
he was not a naturallzed citizen of the
United States and 1t was thus impossible
for the county to W. any Jurisdiction
over i'm. State Attorney Herbert took up
correspondence with the Department of
Commerce and Labor at Washington and
explained the situation. The department
ordered Richard Davis of Minneapolis, an
inspection immigration agent, to come 10
this city n examine Bruhm. He finished
the examination today and announced that
Bruhm and his wife would have to bo
deported to Germany. The wife came over
here in June and the husband followed in
the early fall, but both were practically
without funds and they were incapacltated
for earning money. 1t was on this account
that the action was taken to send them
back to Germany. The children, who live
near here, were anxious to take care of
their parents, but they were not in a posi-
ton to assume the burden.

Representative Sims Of Tennessee today
declared that this privilege cost $500. 900

as the Thanking privileges cost in 12O years"
The deficit in the registry division of the

WlFE'S> STRATACEN WINS
Railroader Barred from Work by
Rheumatism Regains Health.
IN OMAHA YARDS 81 YEARS
Clever Spouse Finds Remedy 20 Cure
Husband After He Has Been
Disabled for whole
Year.

II took a clever wife's stratagem to win
new health for her husband and enable
him to return to his work after a years
idleness. The lucky man Is Mr.. Frank
e. Alvord OF 2tO6 Poppleton avenue. who
has been ~railroading In the Omaha yards
for % years N Is widely known all over
the middle west. The story was told by
Mrs. Alvord In the presence Of a group
Of persons at the Brandeis stores who
were waiting to see the Cooper stomach
man." Although her own part in the af-
fair restored her husband to health after
many doctors had failed, she, In turn,
ascribed entire credit to the eastern health
expert, who has made all Omaha talk
about him by his remarkable methods and
success In this city. Mrs. Alvord said:
My husband was injured in a railroad
wreck some time ago. After his broken
bones had knit together and he began to
think he would soon recover. rheumatism
set In, completely incapacitating him for
work. Many doctors sought to help him
by various kinds OF treatment but moth
ing seemed to do him any good. We feared
he would never be able to work again and
Mr.. Alvord became very much discouraged.
He had been working in the railroad yards
SO long he felt he belonged there. His
sufferings were fearful and he used to say
life hardly seemed worth living.
One day In talking with Mr.. James Nc
Candless. the Union Pacific yArdmaster in
Omaha, he told me Of how he had been
cured Of rheumatism In a remarkable man
ner by this Cooper stomach man. 1
knew that my husband was prejudiced
against anything short of a doctors por-
sonal treatment. and so 1 decided to pro-
cure some of the remedy for him. I gave
him the medicine that 1 secured from
the stomach man. pretending that 1t
was something else.
His recovery was nothing short of mar
velous. Within a week he felt better. The
pains and aches were not 40 bad and he
began to have a better appetite and sleep
easier. In a short while he was up and
about and now is back at work again,
completely restored TO health. 1 want to
say to anybody that asks me, or that I
can get to listen, hat this Cooper treat
ment is positively the most wonderful thing
/ ever knew of. No mere words, however,
can ever express the deep gratitude both
Mr.. Alvord and myself feel for these
Cooper remedies"
