HOW RE MAS CURED
OF RHEUMATISM.


For more than . year gentleman
Of this place, had been suffering with
rheumatism that affected his right
shoulder and arm. He consulted
physicians, had the Prescriptions filed,
took the medicine, but it continued to
grow In severity, until he could scar
cely put on his vest and coat, without
the assistance OF some member OF his
family. He dieted himself. and de-
MED himself beef and other articles OF
food which were said to be productive
of rheumatism.
A friend prescribed hard cider and
the prescription was followed faith
fully for months. Every day and
every night pitcher OF cider and a
glass we're placed in certain window
One morning, he noticed that the
pitcher had been removed but bot
tie and tumbler were ii the window
He poured out u tumbler full. 1t had
beautiful orange color, and it was
thought that some rsisins had b. en-
pat in the cider to improve its flavor.
He held it to the light acd admired its
color. he took heavy draft, and
found out that it was not cider. He
at first thought that he was poisoned;
for his lips, his tongue, his throat
and his stomach seemed to have sud
denly caught fire. He gave his wife,
who was standing near, a terrible
frown, as mnch as to say, "Have you
poisoned me?" She stood there aid
laughed, yes actually laughed, while
her husband was under going such
torture.
Members of the family hearing the
FASTENED to learn the
cause, and one of them understand
ing it atonce procured pint of cream
which the suffering husband hastily
drank. 1t afforded some relief, but
for forty-eight hours, he could not
free himself of the taste Of that miser-
able decoction of camphor, coal oil,
and ayenne pepper, which his wife
had prepared as q Imminent for ex=
ternai application.
1t was indeed severe, but he assures
us that it cured him of rheumatism.
This happened some m onths ago, and
there has been no return of the dis
ease.

PRESIDENT DIAZ GRANTS
REBEL DEMANDS
Mexico's President Promises to Re.
sign at Once-An Armistice
is Declared.

Mexico City.-President Diaz and
Vice-President Corral will resign be-
fore the end of May.
Minister of Foreign Relations Fran
cisco de la Barra will act as President
ad interim. He will name new Sec
retary of Foreign Relations and new
Secretary of War.
All the other members OF the Cabi'
net will be named by Francisco l.
Madero.
Instructions along these lines were
sent to Judge Carbajal, the Govern
ment peace envoy, after Cabinet
meeting He was advised to sign an
armistice Immediately for the whole
republic.
Judge Carbajal Immediately signed
five days armistice agreement
which had been signed by Madero
earlier. The Federal peace envoy
had awaited permission from Mexico.
Madero wired direct to President
Diaz congratulating him on his stand
in the interest of peace, referring to
the Presidents resignation and ex-
pressing the hope that the country
would soon be at peace.
The Mexican Federal Government
grants the Mexican insurrectos four
teen Governors out of twenty-seven
and three Cabinet officers out of
eight. 1t will pay all debts contract
ed by the insurrectos, including SER
vice pay for the men in arms in the
insurrecto army. 1t grants amnesty
to all rebels and permits them to
take their rifles home with them.
1t grants pensions for the killed and
wounded the same as in the Federal
army and restores all Federal army
officers who have gone to the insur-
rectos TO their former position in the
army. 1t also fills certain army va
cancies with officials of the insurrecto
army.
Famine, which is certain 10 come
because of the tremendous shortage
of crops this fall, will keep Mexico in
a state of turbulence all this year,
and even the combined forces of the
Government and Madero will be pow
erless to bring peace to the entire re-
public.
There are those who predict a new
revolution will follow the consumma.
ton Of the Madero-Diaz peace pact
and the country will continue upset
and in a state Of partial anarchy for
a long time.

MAKES IL YEAR Old
SON AID HIS SUICIDE
Squints Into Gun Barrels and Orders
Boy to Pull Triggers-Had Sent
His Wife Away.

Greenwich, Conn.-Fred Hustled. a
prosperous farmer of North Green
wich, ended his life by inducing his
twelve-year-old son TO fire off shot
gun that blew out Husted's brains.
Edgar Allan Poe, in all the vagaries
OF his strange imagination, did not
coGceive an act SO shocking TO human
sensibility as that Of Hustled. The
many people who knew him in this
vicinity as hard working farmer
who had made his way to wealth de.
spite adversely, people who range
from millionaire arstocrats TO hum
BILE farm hands, have scarcely any
other topic for conversation than the
tragedy.
Hustled owned a farm of eighty
acres at North Greenwich, for which
it is said he recently refused an offer
of $4,000. He had a family of five
children, the youngest a baby, the old
est a boy of twelve Last winter he
had an attack of grip and his act has
been attributed to that He awoke
from nap about o'clock in the
afternoon and told his wife that he
felt queer, having had a bad dream.
He had her go to the home of a neigh.
bor, Charles Young, TO see il he would
take some eggs to Greenwich. She
refused at first, telling Husted that
he was all right an she departed.
Lester was in the garden. Soon after
Mrs. Hustled left Hustled called Les
ter and asked him if he had seen a
hawk over the chicken yard. The
boy said that he had not. The father
led him to the kitchen, took up a dou-
bic barrel shotgun, place it on the
kitchen table and told the boy to pull
the triggers. He wanted to see how
it would sound, he said The man
knelt on the floor on the opposite side
of the table, cooked one eye and look.
ed directly into the muZZle of the
gun, which was only four inches
away. The boy hesitated and his faith
er said, at isn't loaded" So the boy
snapped the triggers, but let the ham
mers down easy, holding them with
his thumb. The charges did not ex-
plode The father then arose, took
the gun, cooked il again. put it back
in the same position and got on his
knees and again looked into the bar
rel 1T is not loaded; pull the trig-
ger and see how it sounds" he told
the boy. The boy did so and the
father dropped dead, the whole left
side Of his head torn off. The boy ran
to the nearest neighbor, Daniel Ryan,
and told him he had killed his father.
The verdict of the coroner was sui
| eide. The boy said tsat his father
had never acted strangely ard that il
he had not assured him twice that the
gun was not loaded lie would NOT
have pulled the triggers.

ness Accident.

Paris.-Henry Maurice Berteaux,
and Antoine Ernest MOnis, Premier
and Minister of the Interior, was fa-
tally injured through a lamentable
mishap at the start of the Paris to
Madrid aviation race of the Petit
Parisien. The start was made from
the drill ground at Issy-les- -Moulineaux
at dawn.
In the cold Of the early May morn
ing 10000 French men and women
full OF the holiday spirit and in their
gayest attire gathered 10 witness the
start of the great flight across the
Pyrenees, the first of the many great
international air events of 1911. The
scene was one of Joyous expectation.
The accident occurred on the avia-
tion field at Issy-les- Moulineux, and
100000 persons Witnessed It. M.
Train was plotting the monoplane
which struck the Ministers. With
him in the car was M. Bounier, a pas
senger. Neither of these men was in
jured, but the machine was wrecked.
Minister Of War Berteaux was bad
ly mangled The swiftly revolving
propeller cut off his left arm, which
was found ton feet away from the
spot where he was struck, the back
of his head was crushed in, his throat
gashed, and the whole OF his left side
cut and lacerated.
Premier Monis was buried be-
meath the wreckage of the monoplane.
He was taken out as quickly as pos
sible, and examined by military sur
geons, who found that he had suffer
ed compound fractures OF two bones
in the right leg; that his nose was
broken, his face badly confused, and
that there were bruises on the breast
and abdomen.
M. Deutsch and the Premier's son
were not seriously hurt. Among those
who had narrow escapes from injury
was NJ. Lepine the Prefect of Police.

INTELLIGENT DOGS.

! II one may Judge by the size OF the
claims presented in the various coun
ties for sheep killed by dogs, we are
rapidly losing the best Of our sheer
in Kentucky. and the dogs are show
ling an almost human discrimination
in mutton, says the Louisville Cour
der-Jouranl. Sheep killed by dogs are
valued at anywhere from sc to $1i
apiece. From this it appears that the
dogs must be given to killing Cots
wolds and Southdowns in full fleece
In one western Kentucky county II
9has been discovered that sheep are
very generally listed for taxation at
as4 a head. In the same county the
claims allowed for bucks. ewes and
lambs killed by dogs range from IS tc
1912. II the assessors report is to be
ibelieved, there must be a tremendous
lot OF scrub sheep in that county tc
pull down the average to 81 head
land the dogs must exercise mighty
wags" when they go forth on slaugh.
tering expedition. The dogs are show
ing a marked preference for high
class mutton that presently. 1t is to
be apprehended, there will be nc
blooded sheep left in that particular
county. Dead sheep seem to be more
valuable than live ones, and 1t is diff
ficult to account for such a situation
unless 1t be that Kentucky dogs are
progressing extraordinarily in acumen
and in fastidiousness. Under such
circumstances it might be we'll to
raise the dog tax or to import
considerable number of CANNES that
are not so alfred smart.

about sauerkraut which he maintains
will enable any man or woman to live
a century or more. 1t will conduce
not only to longevity, but to happi
mess. 1t is both nutritious and appe-
tizing. 1t feeds the body and stimu
lates the mind. 1t is cheap. At least
that is what its sponsor claims as the
result of his personal daily experience
with sauerkraut for about so years
He does not say how often one ought
to eat sauerkraut in order to become
a centenarian, but since he advocates
two meals a day for the average per
sons, he would probably not recon
mend eating sauerkraut between
meals.
