prise at my visit; yet felt he must be

Now, did you hear that, too, Mr..

Yes, sir. Yellow Chinee boy. SIR

MEMPHIS, Mo-, Aug. 6.-Thomas
Naggs, Memphis baker and confec

dicament yesterday afternoon while
taking his usual bath in the jailer's
private bath-tub, in the county jail
here where The Scotland county sher-
iff has his home, as matter of
choice. AS is his custom, Mr.. Naggs
steps from his bakery, in the rear OF
his candy store, just across the alley,
and when the bath is not being oc-
cupied. takes an afternoon plunge
when through with the days baking.
He had just emerged from the bath
tub and had dressed himself, only
partly, having on his pantaloons and
shirt and pair Of light slippers
when he walked into the jail corridor
little expecting that he would be mel

Surprising Cure Of Stomach Trouble.
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, don
imagine TINT your case is beyond help
Just because your doctor fails to give
you relief. Mrs. G. Stengle, Plainfeld,
N. j., writes, For over a month past
/ have been troubled with my stomach.

him severely about the face and other
wise bruising his physiognomy, and
mixing things In general rough house
methods. Mr.. Naggs made an effort
to sidestep his antagonist until he
might persuade him to desist, but 1t
seemed to be the determination of
the drunk to give his corridor
companion a genteel threshing, while
no one was by to hinder. But when
the baker found himself cornered, and
that persuasion did not make for
peace, in his own words, "got busy"
and by few dextrous swings from
his we'll developed right arm, which
he had used for twenty years as the
principal power for his dough-brake,
in supplying Memphis and vicinity
with "Naggs' bread and delicious
pies and candies, he soon had his adj
visary hors de combat, with tongue
protruding and struggling to make
himself heard in crying for help. Mr..
Naggs made no effort to injure the
intoxicated man, but used only such
strengtn, as was necessary 10 pro-
tect himself from the wild blows
which might have landed with suf-
ficient force to hurt him unguarded.
The incident Is more amusing than
serious, and while Mr. Naggs admits
he was taken completely by surprise,
he is inclined to treat the matter as
a joke.
