An Interesting
Bible Talk
(By Miss Viva Griner.)

(C0ntlnued from last Week.l
We not only desire the perfect
attention of your children, but
we want you.- Do you not think
that you could lay aside a few of
the worldly cares on Sunday
morning las do the leaders and
workers in the Bible SCHOOL, and
help us make a success of this
good work?
1t is extremely discouraging
to teacher, to try to teach a
class in which the attendance Of
the pupils, is very irregular. The
lessons must be studied in con-
nection, to derive much benefit
from them. Indifferent attend
ance is as hard on the pupils as
on the teacher. You cannot ex-
pect pupils attending the gram
mar schools, to gain much bene-
fit from the lessons, if they ar
absent half or three-fourths of
the time. Neither need we ex-
Il
pect much good to be derived
from our Bible School lessons,
unless we make it a point to at
tend regularly and to study the
lessons. Parents, do you expect
the teachers and officers of the
Bible School to take more inter-
est in the spiritual welfare of
your children than do yourselyesg
Unbelievable as it would appear,
we are sometimes led to think SO.
Don't compel us to urge and
urge continually, to get people to
do their duty.
We who are teachers in the
Bible School, love our pupils
dearly, and have an undivided in
terest iugysry pupil under oar
care. We strive to gain the con.
fidence of our pupils and it is our
desire that the pupils may feel
and know that in their teacher,
they have an interesting friend,
who is always ready to offer SYM
pathy and helping hand in time
of need.
To accomplish any good work
in q community, takes courage
and determination. The secret
of accomplishment lies in the an
swer of the urchin, who was ask
ed if he though he would get the
wood chuck for which he was EN-
ergetically digging: Get him:
, Why, man, I've got to get him
the minister's coming to dinner
and there amt no meat in the
house."
, Are you not willing to helT
do those things which are wortl
while, those things which conn
for something in the progress o

LOSES HIS HAND.
Henry BOhr of Ossian Loses His Left
Hand i'm Corn Shredder.

Last Friday morning at the farm
home of Edward Powers, about one
mile east of Ossian, Henry Bohr had
the misfortune to lose his left hand
in the deadly corn shredder. Mr..
Bohr was feeding the machine, and
in attempting to clear the rollers he
reached too far, with the result that
the rollers cut his hand and a por-
ton of his forearm into ribbons. He
was brought to town Immediately
and taken to DR.. Juen's Office. DR..
Lynch was called also, and the sur
geons were compelled to amputate
the arm to within five inches of the
elbow. This is a sad affair indeed,
and the entire community sympa-
thizes with Mr.. and Mrs Bohr and
family in their great trouble.
At this writing Mr.. Bohr is resting
as easily as could be expected under
the circumstances. He will be I'M
able TO work for a long time, and
then only under difficult circum-
stances.-Bee.

Peevish Children
Suffer With Worms

Don't be angry with your child be-
cause he or she is continually irritable.
In ninety. nine out of one hundred
cases you will find that the trouble
is worms.
Among the common symptoms Of the
presence of round worms are nervous
ness,-wtich often leads to epilept1-
form attacks; -diZziness, vertigo, cap
vicious appetite, restless sleep, itching
OF the eyes and nose, nausea and often
hysteria. Round worms are several
inches N length and infest the
stomach. Occasionally several hun
Ired are found in single person.
Thread worms are smaller, often not
l3nger than quarter of an inch.
The symptoms denoting their presence
ire about the same, but in this case
the child has no appetite.
Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is unsur-
passed in removing worms. Not only
will it destroy them, but its tonic
effects will restore the stomach to
healthy activity. AS Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge seldom purges, the indi-
cations of its beneficial effects, will
be the improved conditions of the
person usiEg it.
Millions of parents have praised
this medicine for more. than eighty
years. Insist upon Jayne's Tonic Yer
mifuge, and accept no other. Sold

BOY SLAIN BY TOWN MARSHAL.
Raid on Halloween Party Ends i'm
Death for Youth.

Milo, Ia, Nov. This town was
thrown into feverish excitement early
this morning when Halloween activi-
ties by crowd of boys and young
men resulted in the killing of Chas.
Tidball, 81 years old, by Cal Mower,
city marshal. The young man was
shot over the right eye with a 80
caliber revolver shortly after mid
night, and died at 5 O'Clock in the
doctors Office.
Mower gave himself up to Mayor
w. e. Miles, who turned him over
to the constable. The latter took him
to Indianola and placed him in the
county jail.
Tidball was in a crowd of fifteen
or twenty boys, skirmishing about
town, and indulging in the usual
Halloween pranks, such as running
wagons out of barn yards, upsetting
sidewalks, etc.
The marshal had been trailing
them, but about II o'clock gave it up
and went to bed. A little later he
was called by Grover Pollard, clerk
in one of the stores, who complained
that the boys were creating a dis
turbance in his neighborhood.
Mower hurried to the scene of
action and attempted to place the
youngsters under arrest. In a state
ment afterwards he said the boys
ran away and that he started in pur-
suit, firing three shots as he ran, for
the purpose, as he explained, of
frightening the fleeing youngsters.
He said he aimed the shots in the
air, but stumbled in hole as the
third and fatal shot was discharged,
thus lowering his weapon and put
ting young Tidball in the line of fire.
The marshals statement, however,
is at variance with the location of
the wound over the eye, which would
seem to indicate that Tidball was
facing the marshal at the time.
There was no evidence this morn
ing that the boys had committed any
serious depreciation, and while there
is some division of sentiment, the
general feeling is that the marshal
was too free with the use of his
weapon.
The tragedy has stirred the town
to its depths, and on every side there
is the profoundest regret that Hal
loween merrymaking should have
resulted in the death of promising
young man.
Tidball was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. B. Tidball, and lived with
his parents on their farm adjoining
the town. The family is well-to-do
and highly respected, having lived
here many years.
The marshal is a day laborer and
has never been involved in serious
trouble.

An Unknown Cues.

The United States chronological
bureau which has hitherto ignored
the cimeX lectularius, more COM
monty known as the bedbug, is now
engaged in circulating some informa-
ton concerning this interesting in
sect. A circular says that the bed
bug has accompanied man wherever
he has gone. Vessels are almost
sure to be infested with it and it
probably landed at jamestown with
the first settlers of Virginia and at
Plymouth Rock with the pilgrim
fathers. 1t is not limited by cold,
nor is its presence in house an in
dication of lack of true housewifely
spirit. 1t is not exclusively a blood
drinker. 1t gets nourishment and
delight out of pieces of moistened
wood or out of rags and dust. AS
an omniverous feeder it is the goat
of the insect world. The biting
organs of the cimex consist of a
heavy underlip within which lie four
hard, thread-like filaments. These
glide over each other-a sort of
roller process-with an alternating
motion and pierce the flesh. The
blood is drawn up through the beak,
which is closely applied TO the point
of puncture, and the roller process
causes the blood to flow more freely
than it otherwise would do. The
cimex is known to be able to survive
for long periods wiehout food, but
whenever there is cal to duty it is
up and doing. 1t is now receiving
official recognition as spreader of
the bubonic plague and other dis
easeS.-Harper's

In the personal laboratory OF Sir
William Ramsay, at University col
lege, London, is a new pair OF scales
SO delicately adjusted that they viii
weigh a seven-millionth part Of an
ounce. The room is in semi-darkness.
So delicate are these wonderful scales
that their balance is disturbed by the
alteration Of temperature caused by
the turning on of an electric light at
the other end OF the room. The oper-
ator has TO leave them for an hour
in darkness-after he has tip-toed
from the room so that his football
should not set up any vibration-and
then read them swiftly before any
change in the temperature has had
time TO affect them. The scales, only
a few inches long, appears a mere cob
web OF glass with its frail supports.

plains Sir William, but Of silica, which
expands and contracts under the eff
