COFFEE "DoPED;" ALMOST DIE
Owner Of Shelter Cabin In Colorado
Had Prepared Connection
for Thieves.

Denver, Colo.-When It comes to
parrow escapes on the part Of the In
pocent bystander. George w. Smith
thinks he about has the record.
Before the deer season opened
Smith left Denver for visit to Gun
pison and tour of the surrounding
deer country.
While in the hills Smith and a
friend became lost. and found them
selves, chilled by q storm at the high
altitude. wandering around with lit
de to eat and no place to go. Finally
they came to q cowbody's cabin. fur
pished for occupancy, and entered.
They found some coffee in a can,
and made q plentiful supply. 1t was
10 warm and refreshing and tasted so
rood that Smith drank five cups. Then
be had q pain and was seized with
violent cramps. The friend was
aeathly sick. too. but found five small
bottles of oil. which the two used as
an emetic. After the oil Smiths
friend made him take a pint of warm
lard. To this herotic treatment the
Denver man owes his life.
Smiths friend, after administering
the emetic, went to secure aid and
found the racAman who owned the
cabin. The cattlsman explained that
he had dozed tho coffee with strych-
pine to stop blanket thieves who had

LAW scAREs MALE TEACHERS
Men Shun Service In the New York
Schools and List Of Applicants for
Places 10 Exhausted.

New York.-The public schools Of
New York City are today face to face
with one Of the results Of the equal
pay law, which secured like salaries
for men and women teachers.
This week the board Of education
will appoint az teachers in the ele-
mentary schools 1888 women and
twenty-five men. and with these ap-
pointments the eligible list of male ap-
plicants is exhausted.
1t is improbable that any more
men teachers will be appointed for
many years, for the waiting list shows
6SS women and no men. and the re-
duction in mems salaries has made it
extremely difficult to get men to ap-
ply for the places.
Two years ago mems salaries were
a third greater than they are today.
Before the equal pay law went into ef-
feet a man teacher started at $500
and went to $3.50 In twelve years:
now he starts at $3.50 and may hope to
reach $500 after fifteen years.

ARE WOMEN UNDERSTOOD
L. MatIn Of Paris Gathers Answers
from All Quarters-Woman Hits
at Coquettes.

Paris.-Le Matin Is at present en-.
gagged in gathering together one OF its
periodical symposiums on burning
questions of the day. The question
that everybody 10 Just now trying to
answer Is Are Women Understood?
Every day two or more columns Of the
papers are filled with the answers.
from which the following selections
have been made:
According to you-a man who. see.
Ing women as they are, let's them be-
lieve he sees them as they would like
to be. According to us-simply a.
man who loves them.
"A man who understands a woman,
Is he who considers her not as an in.
ferior. but as his equal, at the same
time recognizing In her certain super
iorities of tact. dslicacy, devotion and
courage. without proudly showing his
consciousness Of his own personal SUI
periority in physical and intellectual
power"
"The man who understands women
Is one who thinks 1t charming that
we should be coQuettish. fond Of dain-
ties. money and flirting, and who
thinks and tells 10 that all our cap,
rices are adorable"
young men have gifts to fascinate
women, but they do not understand
them. The man who does is he who
no longer tells them untruths, having
nothing more to hope or expect from
them"
Such a phenomenon as man who
understands women does not exist 1t
would be preferable to be set to
square the circle than to understand
a woman"
A woman signing herself Zone Who
Is Not Proud q Being Woman"
writes:
"The man who fancies he under
stands women 10 he who fiatters their
foolish whims. For a woman who
wishes to be q serious and faithful
friend the position Is not so compli-
Gated. and she does not need to re-
fleet whether she 10 understood or not.
The only true women are those who
are good mothers and good wives
all the rest are superfluous. They are
odious talking figures. everything
with them false-physique and morals
alike-they interfere with life. All,
II were a man I would not spare the
coauettes. They should see whether
! understood them!"
A woman signing herself ''1ncom-
PRISE" relates how only once she met
q man on board Mediterranean
steamer who was able to please each
and all OF the ladies. HE Joined in
our conversations without leading
them. With him one felt perfect
safety, charm infinitely rare. which
allows a woman openly to express the
sentiments Of her heart without the
perpetual fear that man will take
advantage of their innocent sincerity
to attack them. Believe me, every
woman appreciates this pleasure of
confidence. We are sometimes weary
Of attacking and defending. The man
who is not watching US always gives
rs feeling Of rest"

FRAIL, SICKlY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol-
Letter to Mothers.

Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity We publish the following
letter.
]. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn.,, says: "My little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source Of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. i'm
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her can truly
say it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
clements extracted from Gods livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strength-creating properties Of
tonic iron. which are contained in
Vinol.
vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case whera
1t fails.
