Attempt at Robbery.

About $50 o'clock last night while
James b. Dyehe, of the firm oe Stot-
Ter & Dyche, was counting up his
days sales at his desk in the back
part of the store, he heard fau,,U
walk past the window .nro trv the
pachdoor =, fnos. r. Kline's butcher
shop. But it was locked, and he was
prevented from forcing an entrance
to the shop, if such was his intention,
by Mr.. Dyche calling to him and de.
manding as to what he was dcine
there. The fellow beat hasty retreat
over the back fence and by the time
Mr.. Dyche reached the yard the PROV
Ter was nowhere to be seen
1t may be that this was thu same
fellow that entered W. r. Kline's
place nearly two hours later. Then,
again, it might have been the same
thief that robbed T. r. Kline's place
last week and he came back to make
another haul

Death For Kidnapping.

Kidnapping will be punished by
death if bill, which Delegate J. c..
Liller, of Mineral county, expects to
introduce, should become a law.
The drastic measure, which Dele

cipally at the "Black Hand societies
and also to prevent the repetition of
the Sharon kidnapping case.

the county of Pocohontas, styl $ him
self as a "Prune Peddler' Finding
this ont, his colleagues are constantly
heseeching him for samples. Knowing
so much of prunes it is presumed that

that, he is in a splendid position to

of the government. Guess that Poca-

prunes as Charley Light knows about

! ing after II. take your warm bath follow
ing II with a cold shower, or at least a
spray. One woman known 10 the Budget
declares that she will never be entirely
happy until she has two baths, side by
side, in her bathroom. one to be filled with
warm water and the other with cold sea
water. so that she can spring from one to
the other.
A few minor details may follow these gem
eral suggestions If the cold shower or
spray cannot be endured. try rubbing the
whole body after drying, with bay rum.
This has an excellent effect upon the skin
and hardens it pleasantly. Gossp-a dame
who knows most things-declares that
Queen Wilhelmina has whole flask used
upon her with massage after her morning
tub. The same 'weel-acquaintit dame
, also declares that her majesty insists upon
breaking the seal OF the bottle herself, that
no imposture may be practsed as 10 the
quality Of the bay rum.
But il all precautions have been in vain

fected once quite accidentally by a Young
woman. who. finding that her cold would
not permit her to go out of doors. devoted
the first day Of her Incarceration to making
sweet pickles. and woke the next morning
10 find the cold gone. She was always at a
loss whether to attribute the cure 10 the
warmth Of the kitchen or to the spices used
I'm making the pickles. Possibly the calm
state of mind engcndered by knowing that
she was not wasting her valuable time in
spite of her cold, was not without its effect.
Some persons have shortened the stay
and mitieated the severity of a cold by
drinking a glass OF hot water every two
hours. This treatment which is sm,l
and inexpensive. has broken up several
cases Of bronchitis, aided by cathartic
and supplemented by generous though sim

In conclusion, remember that comfort IS
not a sin. Go very comfortably to bed.

Now that the season of colds and coughs
Is upon us. II may not be amiss to sug-
cest a few simple WAYS of warding of
those small yet dreaded evils In fact
perhaps they should not even be termed
".mall." for it IS certain that no one
realizes the fact that he or she is In for
bad cold with it's consequent dishguration'

wretchedness and inconveniences without
sense Of deadly evaporation. And II
has been said that very few indeed hear
Of tie sufferings of physician under
cold without some degree Of malicious sat
isfaction for why don't doctors do more
about colds than they do?
OF course. no hard and fast rules can be
laid down for every case. IL is a fact that
some people find their safety lies in being
always warmly wrapped up. but these are
few. Many others have spent Goddess
winter after discarding furs and reducing
the amount of clothing worn. The great
danger Of too much in the way OF garments
is the sensitlveness or laziness encouraged
IN the skin, while a lighter weight set Of
Garments and the bold exposure Of the
throat hardeUs it-in many cases that is
and forces il 10 do its own share OF work.
At the same time these hardening"
processes must be resortcd 20 with good
deal Of caution. Only a vigorous cOnstitu-
ton can endure Spartan methods Those
whose vitality is in any way from any
cause lowered may need the heavier
wraps, and She shclter!ng. not the expos

Where tho vitality is equal to il. there
can be no doubt that the absence Of furs,
or Of heavy coverings. does harden and
tone up the system 10 a degree that is
