Convict No. 6273S, as he is known

Charley" Becker, big An" of the
police department, has spent his first
full day in the death house behind
the grim walls of that noted peni-
tentiary. His brother. John, and his
wife are his only visitors.
Noon today witnessed the closing
of the Hotel Metropole, from which
Herman Rosenthal stepped to be shot
to death last July. George Considine,
who has been running the house in
the interest of his creditors, says the
closing is directly due to the murder.
Too much notoriety, he declares, has
driven away patronage.

the sovereigns of Europe. Born a
prince of Denmark, he was proclaim
ed king of the Hellenes by the ma
tional assembly of Greece on March
80, 1862. He was then II years old.
On Oct. 80 of the same year he ar
rived in Athens, and on the following
day he took the oath and mounted
the throne.
When the future king arrived in
Athens, forty-nine years ago, he was
welcomed by little nation OF mil
lion people. He has more than two
million subjects now, and Greece has
progressed very creditably under his
rulership. Though Greece has been
overtaken by severe political storms
during the past half century the
throne of King George has never once
been seriously threatened. No one
doubts that the king has genuine
love for his adopted country and, at
the present moment, shares to the
utmost degree the dream of every
Greek in making the Oegoan sea a
Grecian lake, as it was in the palnny
days of ancient Athens, and of seeing
her flag float from the minarets Of
Constantinople on that day, which may
not be far distant, when the Otto
man shall be expelled from Europe.

he guided the bride up the platform,

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper thar
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev-
cry woman is regularity Of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air OF lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
lions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin Is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for a sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Month

bottle without any expense to you

Nathaniel Letton did not look ap-
pealingly at his two friends, but in the
brief pause they felt that appeal pass
out from him. Dowsett, of sterner
mold than the others, began to divine
that the Klondiker was playing. But
