THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
Samose Ideal Flesh Builder, Says
Druggist Jas. 0'Donnell. 1900.

Trim people are simply suffering from

Samose builds up the system. puts
flesh on the bones, brings back the
glow of health to the pallid check and
removes the tired and languid feeling
which is the result of exhaustion and
low vitality.

much of plot, to be sure, but sufficient
to make a very .laughable farce, full of

Tn the role of the injured football quar-
terback Mr.. Robins gives the most de-
lightful character portrayal In which
Columbia Theater patrons have seen
since his engagement as leading man OF
the Columbia Players.
AS young college chap, he fufi,s all
the requirements of that character, and
is especially delicious in the comedy
passages. His lisping Interpretation OF

love speech to her, In which he leaves

New York, Nov. 20.-The four so
called gunner, accused Of the murder
Of Gambler Herman Rosenthal last
July, were all found guilty of murder
in the first degree after the jury had

that If he had been lying it was more
than likely that he would have COM

saw the defendants shoot their victim
down. ...E.-... ~
He also cautioned the jury that the
stories told by the defendants bore a
striking similarity one to the other
and limited that there had been collu.

London, Nov. 20.-With no two
rumors from Constantinople agreeing
on a single point one thing alone
seemed certain-the Bulgarians are
meeting with resistance at Tchatalja
20 much more serious than they
counted on that expert predictions of
the Turkish capitals speedy fall were
beginning to be generally revised.
There were reports that the Bulga-
rian left wing gained slight advantage
IN the neighborhood of Derkos in Mon
days fighting, but as against these re-
ports Nazim Pasha notified the Turk
lsh government officially of continued
Ottoman successes all along the Tcha-
talja line.
The total suppression at Sofia of all
news from the front was widely inter
pfeted here as suggesting a serious
Bulgarian reverse.
Some military men were even in
elined to think the Bulgarian force
had progressed as far as it ever will
get. Car Ferdinand. they pointed
out, has already used every resource
to the limit.
The Turks. on the other hand, they
argued, can secure reinforcements in
definitely from Asia, so there is no
reason, say these authorities why the
sultan's troops might not hold out
for years. if necessary.
OF course the sultan has lost every
0ing he possessed in Europe outside
Constantinople and the twenty-five
miles square patch of territory be-
tween it and the Tchatalja lines, but
With his capital still holding out, as
diplomats viewed the situation, he will
b able to insist on comparatively
favorable terms.
IN fact, It was regarded that peace
negotiations were progressing at the
same time as fighting was going on.
DO long as the result of the battle
hangs in the balance it was doubtful
Y an agreement could be reached.
