STUDY IN CONTRASTS
WHAT HAPPENED TO TWO
MANNED BRAKEMEN.
One Takes Cash and Squanders II
Through Dissipation-Other Takes
Job and Becomes Prosperous
and Model Citizen.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Twenty years ago
John Anneson, brakeman on a Wis
constn railroad, met with an accident
near Waukesha, in which his right
arm was severed just above the elbow.
Having been a trusted employee for
several years, the officers in authority
took immediate action and proposed
paying Anneson $4,000 in cash, or
giving him an easy job for life
Being married man, Anneson nat
urally thought of wife and three little
ones, not overlooking a desire to start
in the saloon business. Two thousand
dollars he estimated would start him
off in fine shape, leaving $1,000 to
speculate with on the side.''
Today, Anneson, owing to dissipa-
ton, does not own enough property to
be considered worth classifying by the
assessor
in marked contrast with Anneson is
James Malone, an old-time brakeman
on a Connecticut road. Nineteen years
ago, while his train was awaiting or

watching a gang of laborers unload

Dor, Malone was finally invited to
come over and show US" as they ex-
pressed it. TWO of these steels rails
were used for skids ON which to slide

In making a practical demonstration
of his method, Malone, with the assist
ance of five laborers, three at each
end, carrying the first rail from the
car missed his footing and STUN bled,
permitting the rail to fall, pinioning
his right arm on the iron skid be-
meath.
After two months 1ayoff, with his
arm severed at the elbow joint, the
railroad company offered Malone
$4,000 in cash or a life job at some
light employment, neither of which
propositions were obligatory on the

OPEN, BRAZEN CONFESSION
One Man Finds the Game of Chess
Too Much for Him and
Admits 1t.

The chessboards which are occasion
ally given to us by our benevolent
friends and relations are invariably of
the very useful type. They are studded
with spikes so that no piece can be re-
moved fortuitiously from its own sep
arate square. When people give us a
chessboard they seem to think that we
than not on the deck of ship in
hurricane. They picture us tossed
this way and that by waves which run
mountains high. They feel that
though we may be physically incom-
moded by the fury of the tempest, the
gagged will be undisturbed. They are
right Nothing short of volcanic
eruption Immediately beneath our feet
would cause the dislocation of the ar
rangements of pieces on these presen-
tation boards.
Personally, however, we have not
played chess at all for sometime. Our
knowledge of the game stopped short
ly after we mastered the various
moves of the various pieces. Every
now and then we get wild longing
to rival those experts who win twenty
seven games blindfold simultaneously
while playing "The Lost Chord" on
the banjo. But our ambition general
lv fades away when we get out one

fered a violent encouragement We
were playing with an opponent who

it was the others move. We sat wait
ing for each other to move for three

some casual bystander mentioned that
there was a time limit in such cases.
That incident has soured us perma-

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety Of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time I was a coffee
drinker l was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting or days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this afffction was added, some
years ago, trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by q smothering sensation and fafht
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make lifo
harder to bear. i took all sorts OF pat
ent medicines but noneso1ihem helped
me for any length Of time.
"The doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee felt as II I had no
breakfast / finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of cof-
fee entirely, and as had read great
deal about Postum I concluded to try
that for breakfast beverage.
IT liked the taste Of Ut and was par
ticularly pleased to notice that it d&d
not come up as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and have not had an at
tack of sick headache for more than
year. My digestion is good, too, and
I am thankful that 1 am once more. a

Coffee has direct action on the uYer

congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secret1ons.

CHIEF BROWN
WAS DISMISSED

Stanley, N. D., Feb. 6. The
court house was packed to the
limit during the trial Of Chief of
Police James Brown w no was
charged with violating the pro-
hibition law.
The case, which came before
Justice Flatt, as one Of interest
and much speculation was rife
before the trial as to what would
become Of Brown.
1t was alleged that Brown was
associated with Joe Scribner some
time during October in the sale
Of Intoxicating liquors to which
Scribner testified. Other wit
nesses were called by the state,
one of them swearing he had
seen Brown and Scribner dividing
the proceeds Of the sales.
Attorney P. D. Jones acted in
behalf Of Mr.. Brown and also a
number Of witnesses. In a
lengthy plea to the court Attor-
ney Jones criticized the integrity
of some of the states witnesses
in all unmerciful manner.
The states evidence was strong
and Mr.. Jones had to depend al
most entirely upon his eloquent
plea to the court.
Justice Flatt maintained that
that evidence in the case was not
sufficient to bind the defendant
over to the district court and
Brown was dismissed.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. GA
young man about 30 years Of age,
registered at the Grand Pacific
hotel at Bismarck Saturday after
noon; he was assigned a room
under the name Of F. Barrett,
Billings, Mont; yesterday he paid
his bill, stating that he was going
east on the early morning train
and left a call at the office; about
3 o'clock this morning, Barrett's

trio alarm system from the office;
getting no response, the clerk
sent a bell boy to the room to
rouse the occupant; the bell boy
discovered smoke issuing from
the room and gave the alarm; the
door was forced and it was found
that holes had been cut in the
walls between the partitions and

material was used to start the
fire in thee places; the room as
signed to Barrett was in the new
annex to the hotel, which is fire.
proof, and this is all that saved
the hotel; had the fire been start
ed in the main building. the
chances are good that the build
ing would have been destroyed.
AS it was, the hotel employees
managed to put the fire out with
out any great damage.
All that was found in the room
was an empty new suitcase; it
is thought that Barrett went to
the hotel with the intention Of
firing it, and that he carried the
msterials for this purpose in the
suit case; all trace of Barrett is
lost; Sheriff Barnes was called in
and he is making every effort to
get trace of the missing man; the
authorities throughout the state
are being communicated with in
the hope of apprehending the cul-
prit.
1t is evident that Barrett COM
menced his work Saturday; it
took him some time to cut the
holes in the walls, and he had
moved the furniture in the room
so as to cover the holes. There
is every evidence that Barrett
whoever he was and whatever
his motive, intended to make a
good job Of destroying the hotel.
