CHRISTY SPANKED HER,
In Effort to Make His Wife Stop
Swearing.

GAINESVILLE, o., Jan. 20.-Howard
Chandler Christy spanked his wife
one time when she swore at him, ac-
cording to testimony in the hearing
of Mrs. Christy's suit to gain possess
sion of Natalie, the couples 12-year-
old daughter. That interesting event
was portrayed by Miss Rose Christy,
sister of the artist, in her testimony.
Miss Christy said that one night she
overheard Mrs. Christy in her room at
the Christy home at Duncan Falls,
rummaging through a trunk and
umbling and swearing, when Mr..
Christy said if she did not stop her
talking and go to bed he would spank
her.
st guess he did spank her, Miss
Christy said, Judging from the sounds
which came from their room. The
next morning Mrs. Christy laughed
and said she guessed she deserved
it,
Anna Washington, colored maid,
formerly at the Christy home in New
York, said she often saw Mrs. Christy
intoxicated and that she often called
Purdy, the chauffeur, for her mistress
and that she served drinks to both in
Mrs. Christy's boudoir. On one occa-
sion the maid testified, Mrs. Christy
said to her, regarding Purdy:
'I'm crazy about that man, isn't he
handsome?" And that if it were not
for Natalie she would be with him al
ways. She always quoted Purdy as
saying:
"God only knows how much I love
this woman" referring to Mrs.
Christy.
When the maid was excused each
side announced that it had completed
its case Then Judge White prepared
to go to the home of Attorney Durbin,
representing Mr.. Christy, where Ma
ta1ie Christy has been visiting during
the trial. for the purpose of question
ing the little girl.

Attempted SUICIDE?
Wealthy Visitor in Topeka Starts a
Commotion at State House.

A well dressed gentleman, a visitor
at the state capitol building today,
mounted the stairs to the outlook at
the top of the dome, grew excited
while looking through his field glasses
and made motion as if to leap from
the platform to the pavement below,
seemed to reconsider his action and
hurried, half stumbled and fell down
the stairs, oast officials, reporters and
guards, out the east entrance and
made a bee line for Kansas avenue.
When asked for an explanation for his
actions he said he wanted to get some
of that fresh coffe just unloaded at
Charles McCIntock's store, the blend
No. 8, 35c n pound, pounds for
dollar. Blend No. 10 per pound 40
cents.
He was a stranger and did not know
that McClintock's stock is always best
and fresh.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Heart"

The injurious action of coffee on
the heart of many persons is we'll
known by physicians to be caused by
caffeine. This is the drug found by
chemists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that was the principal cause of
the trouble. She writes:
My heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
would never breathe again.
THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said l must stop It, but It seemed I
could not give it up until 1 was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks / lay there and
suffered Finally husband brought
home some Postum and 1 quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly I
got well. Now 1 do not have any
headaches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know it is Postum that
helped me. The DIR. said the other day,
I never thought you would be what
you are I used to weigh 80 pounds
and now 1 weigh 15S.
Postum has done much for me and
I would not go back to coffee again for
any money, for I believe it would kill
me if I kept at it. Postum must be

PIRATE OF THE AIR.
English Sparrow Charged With High
Grimes and NIisdemeanors.

Washington, Jan. 20-The English
sparrow is the pirate of the air, just
as the rat is the freebooter of the
earth, and ought to be extermlnated.
So rules the department of agriculture
in a bulletin just published, which also
tells how to get rid of him.
He studiously hunts and eats Insects
which are beneficial to plant life, while
he passes over more or less those which
are harmful. The only good thing he
does is to eat the seed of weeds and
prevent their spreading. Aside from
that there is nothing to be said in his
favor. More than that. he is murder
Gus. He hunts the nesting places and
destroys eggs and young blue birds,
house Wrens. tree swallows and barn
swallows. The robin. the catbird and
the mockingbird. he attacks and drives
out of parks and shade trees. He has
no song but he drives out the song
birds and brings only noise in return.
After having learned all this about
the sparrow, after an extensive in
vestigation, the department of agricul-
trre shows a way to destroy him. First,
whenever sparrows roost around your
house, destroy their nests If they
rcost at night on your caves trough.
drive them away with a long pole. BY
destroying nests wherever they are
seen, the increase can be prevented.
The sparrow likes to nest in cavities
and he can be trapped through this
preference He will rooSt in boxes that
may be put up to make his capture
easy. He may be 1ured to spread grain
and killed in other ways, or may be
poisoned. Wheat soaked in strychnine
IS said to be preferable. This method
has been adopted in California where
1t was necessary to protect ripening
fruit A sparrow's stomach will hold
about 80 kernels of wheat, but six or
seven properly treated with strychnine
will kill him.

Willapa Harbor Pilot; Editor
H. R. Clayton of the Seattle Re-
publican has announced his can
didacy for the nomination for the
legislature from King county.
just why Mr.. Clayton wants to
sacrifice his good name is past our
understanding.
Lest they sacrifice their good
name as suggested above has pre-
vented a great many good men
from taking any part in politics,
not even to accept positions of
trust and honor that the general
public seemed inclined to thrust
upon them. Prior to the late pri-
mary election to nominate a mu-
nicipal ticket for Seattle men of
means and affairs were impor-
tuned to allow their names to be
used in connection with the Re-
publican nomination for mayor,
but they unqualifiedly said no, and
all because they did not desire to
see or hear their good names drag
ged through the slums of politics.
All over the country when some,
one, who has never been in politics
announces his candidacy for an
office he is at once suspected of
having an ak to grind either for
himself directly or for some cor
poration and for himself Indirect
ly. The editor of the Pilot is alb
solutely justified in advancing the
thought expressed in the above ex-
cerpt, not so much because the
editor of The Seattle Republican
has such a good name to be be-
smirched but because, up to the
present time, he has at least en-
joyed the confidence and respect
of those among whom he has re-
sided for the past twenty years,
but if he gets what all other men,
who have run for office in the past
gets he will not enjoy the same de-
gree of confidence among his fell
low citizens that he did before he
"also RAM for an office. 1t is
most remarkable that a man never
develops into a real genuine damn
scoundrel until he runs for Office
or happens to be elected to a pub
lie office and the question is, does
he merit such treatment at the
hands of his fellow citizens? To
be in politics is either honorable
or dishonorable and it is the one
or the other of those who go into
politics wills it.
