IN HOUSE AT NIGHT
She Tells Thrilling Tale of Be.
ing Sent to Rob Home by
Paris Apaches.

PARIS, June 15.-M. Favelle, a
wealthy merchant of this city, has re-
ceived practically gratis an insight into
feminine duplicity which he is likely
never to forget.
The education began by his seeing, al
a very late hour at night, a light in his
wife's bedroom. AS Nine. Favelle was
out of town. NJ. Favelle got his auto.
matte pistol and attempted to enter the
room.
Immediately he crossed the threshold
out went the electric light. Convinced
that the person in the room was there
for no good purpose, M. Favelle fired
into the air. simultaneously with the
second sharp crack of the PISTOL. came
a females scream, followed by the
sound of body falling.
Cautiously advancing. the householder
made toward the electric light button
rays displayed charming young wom-
an clad in Nine. Favelle's latest even
ing gown, lying unconscious upon the
carpet
NJ. Favelle applied restoratives with
such good effect that fifteen minutes
later the woman was sitting upon O
settee and unfolding a hair-raisins
tale.

the worst Apaches in all the four
quarters of the City Of Light. The gang.

mAJoN AhOmAo -. O1OAOS.
The military aide as White House
adjunct will be thing of the past, ex-
cept at such times as formal receptions
are held, if present plans are carried
through. -
Major Thomas L. Rhoads, who has
been military aide at the White House
for more than a year, has asked the
President to be relieved, as he desires
to return to his medical work in the
army. -..---. --..
The President previously has ex-
pressed his dislike at gold lace and
military trappings at the White House,
and has made it plain that he does not
want a uniformed military aide &C.
companying him on his trips.
It is believed that Major Rhoads
will have his wish granted shortly
after he comes back from his vacation.
The White House probably will ask
that military aides be furnished only
at such times as request is made.

CAN THROW WHOLE
BODY OUT OF JOINT
Young Mans Ligaments Are So
Loose He Can Put His Heart
Down to His Waist Line.

ATLANTA, Ga. June 15.-One of the
most curious of the many freaks OF ma
ture is shown in the person of Ellis
Whitman, an ordinary looking young
man who has reached Atlanta on a tour
around the world. So loose are the liga-
ments which bind his anatomy togeth-
er. that he can dislocate practically
every organ in his body.
The man can throw his heart down
into the lower portion of his body, APP
pareutly below his diaphram, until its
beating is felt at his waist line. His
hisp and shoulders fall out of joint and
flip back into position with the utmost
ease
Performs Remarkable "Stunts."
Whitman says he has been giving
demonstrations before various medical
societies, and will endeavor to demon
strate his ability before TIE Fulton
County Medical Society. -
BY his remarkable control of the
muscles and ligaments, Whitman can
perform several stunts that would
outclass the professional vaudeville en-
tertainer. By simply placing a pen on
his hip and throwing the joint out of
place, he can flip the pen across the
room as an arrow is shot from a DOW.

an object he can throw his right should
