TRIP TO CAPITAL
OBJECT OF WITNESS
Dentist Gives Reason for Sug-
qestion That Lorimer Com
mittee Call Him.

CHICAGO. October 2S.-Former State
Representative Sidney p. Espy of Ben
ton before the Lorimer investigating
committee of the United States Senate
today faced one OF the men who several
days ago he swore had conspired to in
jure him by involving him in the Lorimer
case.
D. T. Woodward, a Benton dentist, was
the man accused by Espy. Woodward
admitted that he had asked Seba Hud
son of Benton to write a letter to the
committee suggesting that Woodward be
called before the committee as a witness.
Woodward also admitted that his chief
object was TO get a trip to Washington
d. c.. at the expense of the government.
He denied that he wanted to injure
Espy.
Woodward said he had been told that
Or. Smith of Benton had received
two-thousand-dollar draft from Senator
Lorimer's La Sale street bank of Chi
cago. DR.. Smith was close friend OF
former Representative Crawford.
W. Il. Blake. cashier OF the Benton
State Bank Woodward said told me
about the two-thouSand-dOl1ar draft.
Is Closely Questioned.
Judge Hanecy subjected Woodward to
sharp questioning. during which the
witness was forced TO admit that he knew
nothing bearing upon the inquiry into
Lorimer's election.
Woodward was kept on the stand until
the committee adjourned for tho day. BY
that time he had contradicted himself so
many times as to invalidate his tcSti-
mony.
Under interrogation by Senator Fletch-
err, Woodward admitted finally that he
knew absolutely nothing bearing upon
the Lorimer case, aside from gossip.

she is too tired for anything but the
lightest fiction. Fiction is good bracer
(the right kind of fiction) upon occa-
sions, but II is not the kind Of reading
10 which the 'Mother-of-Five' gives this
one particular hour. She reads, for this
one hour, that which has been written by
thinkers, something that contains earnest
thought, either upon a pertinent current
topic or otherwise. And when she reads
she concentrates upon the thought gained.
This has helped much and is giving
her concentrative power, and has devel-
oped versatility Of thought. And, after
she has thought about what she has read,
she discusses the subject with herself,
clearly and intelligently. 1t doesn't make
any difference whether the subject is
poetry, politics. or Of household conse-
quence, she discusses it pro and con,
never allowing either half of her mental
the other half. The result has been the
highest possible form Of individual de-
velopment.
That" suggested John, accounts for
her wit, her imagination and her clear
reasoning power. She can concentrate
upon a single subject, and upon that
alone. You know there are women who
fiutter like a butterfly from one topic to
another without expressing a valuable
thought on any single subject.
And who Is interested in what they
have to say?" questioned

Marion Hariand, beautiful and charm
ing at eighty-odd, declared the other day
that lovemaking was a lost art among
the men OF the present age. and that
there were no more romantic and poetic
lovers such as there used to be when
she was girl.
Very likely that is true. but If men
have forgotten the beautiful wiles OF
Romeo they have learned the virtues Of
Benedict. and in all the history Of the
world there has never been any such
paragon Of a husband as the modern
American husband He is the best ever!
The man Of to-day may not know
how to make love as his grandfather
did, but he knows how to treat
q woman when he gets her. And
that isn't in the way her grandfather
treated her grandmother. Not by a
million miles, and then some.
Nor should we wonder at this. 1t Is
the logic of the situation. Glib takers
are notoriously poor performers always,

a girl won't have him is most likely TO

WHAT TODO WHEN PUPPIES
HAVE CONCLUSIONS OR FITS
By EDWARD s. sCHMID.

Commissions or fits in puppies are
generally the result of worms or teething;
and If from teething. are most likely to
occur between the ages Of three and eight
months, when the milk teeth are giving
place to the permanent ones.
Puppies very often, as the result Of
teething Or from worms suffer from
screaming fits; there are no commissions
or falling down, but the pup becomes
very excited and rushes about uttering
shrin barks which may continue for
hours. The patient in these cases does
not lose consciousness, but seems ex-
tremely nervous and frightened. and will
~bite any one touching him.
Treatment for Fits.
A warm bath is very beneficial and
then hydrated chloral as recommended in
epilepsy should be administered; the dose
is from two to eight grains. according
TO the size and age of the puppy; and
the treatment should be repeated every
four hours until relief is obtained II the
fits are caused by worms. which may be
destroyed by studying the symptoms given
under the heading Of Intestinal worms

II the puppy's teeth are the ause of the
