Doctor Courtney arrived first. Up

light electric runabout, and darting
through the door which the house
keeper held wide for him, was by the
patients side in a few seconds. To
gether we made a thorough examina-
ton of the reviving man. The physt-
clan tested HIS temperature, his heart
and r9fexes, afterward addressing me
concisey.
1T is ncthing serious. There is no
permanent injury ana he will be all
right as soon as he RECEIVERS from the
shock. He seams to have been Sc
verely choked, hus there was no chloro-
form or other drag administered" He

speaking with more or less difficulty,

very dark and I knew of nothing IN

He was choking me and pressing my
arms to helplessness beneath his
knees. I attempted to struggle, but
could do little more than squirm be-
meath his strength. He used a good
deal of force, and in few moments
my senses left me. I knew nothing
more until I awoke and found myself
in some dark hole. I rolled about

walls to each other knew it was

useless. for there was nobody else on

would be necessary to make either res

Fervfd oratory, in which Russia's
treatment of American Jews was fully
recounted, preceded the passage of the
resolution. On the floor but one voice
was raised against the Sulzer propos-
al, and this was that of Representa-

urged that the Russian passport ques-

WHY the Stamps Don't Stick

Postmaster-GeneraI Hitchcock is re
ceiving complaints from all sections
of the country that the glue on stamps
is worthless and that they will not
stick.
According to officials of the depart
ment, the glue is damaged by wate'
bugs that nibble it off the stamps. The
Washington rostoffice is infested witt
these insects. and, as many stamps
are kept. ready for sale on desks and
in drawers, the bugs have easy access:
to them. The department has nc
scheme for combating the bugs. In
secticides, if placed in the glue, must
poison people who moisten stamps
with their tongues.

M. Brewer, formerly chaplain
in the United States army, now
pastor of Baptist church in Olustee
Okla, was arrested as a result of a
confession by Private Michael Quirk
duplicating him in a series of explo-
sions which have baf1ed military au-
thorities at Fort Riley for six months.
Army officers at the fort declare
that the federal authorities had under
observation several other persons i'm
plicated in the recent dynamite ex-
plosions and that additional arrests
might be expected at any moment.

Hoyle, commandant at Fort Riley, said
that he blew up the bridge across the
Kaw river, June "a, blew up the cav
airy stable June 90 when q cavalry
horses were killed or burned to death,

physician pushed him back upon the
pillow.
"Burglarized the safei Got all the

rolling upward so that the whites
were to be seen. The expression upon
his face was a CHASTITY reflection Of
the shock to his soul, and despite his
miserliness I felt sorry for him as l
