The thirteenth body was found

One Of the bodies is believed to
be that Of Nellie Connor, the
forewoman, who sacrificed her

and djamond car rings worn by
Miss Conner were found.
The body of Mrs. Mary Pryor,

ed up precarious livelihood by doing
odd jobs" including such prosaic oc-

casual porter on the Quai Marseiles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle
man to carry to the railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station,
there was an instant mutual recogni-

Jean.

Come and see," replied Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwellinga miserable room In
an attic in the poorest quarter of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps of manuscripts-Jean's incur
sions in the realms of poetry when
the more prosaic duties of the day
were over. Looking through them, his
friend was astounded at their quality.
"Why do you carry trunks and blacken
boots when you can do work like
this?" he asked Richepin had never
given the matter thought, He had
never deemed these products Of idle
hours worthy Of publication. Pub

ON HER KITCHEN STOVE.

1t is interesting to note that the most
successful remedy for woman's ills was
originally prepared nearly forty years
ago by Mrs Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn,
Mass, by sleeping roots and herbs on
her kitchen stove and supplied to friends
and neighbors without cost. Its fame
spread; the demand grew; until now
many tons of roots and herbs are used
each year in order to supply this famous
remedy which has proved such a mar
velous success in controlling diseases of
women. Merit alone could have stood
this test of time.
