TRlCKED A FRENCH WIDOW
elegant Stranger, Said to Be a Priest,
Got Her Rare Books and
Disappeared.

Paris.-A man named PoipOn, said
to have been a priest at one time, has
been arrested on a charge Of being
concerned in matrimonial swindles.
A month ago a wealthy widow met
with an automobile accident and an
elegantly dressed man, who said he
had been an officer, took her to a cafe
for r~efreshment. She fell in love with
him and consented TO marry him. He
introduced her to Poipon as his oou-
sin.
A week later the ex-oficer told his
faucee he had been appointed to a
high position in Morocco and he asked
that the marriage might be celebrated
soon. He proposed selling the lady's
furniture and sending 10 Morocco in
advance her fine collection Of rare
books. She accepted and the books
were packed up and taken away by
the bridegroom" That is the last
that was heard Of him for some time.
but It was afterward found that he
sold the rare books.
The ~eX-priest was arrested, but he
processes his innocence, saying that
he himself was the victim of the other
man.

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

It is a common thing in this country
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains a drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea.)
There are five children IN my fam
n.y." writes an Iowa mother, "a1l OF
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
my husband and I had heart trouble
ard wore advised e quit coffee. We
did SO and began TO use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
caffeine causes heart trouble when
continually used as in coffee drink
ing.)
Our eleven-year-old boy had a weak
digestion from birth. and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked it and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes It."
Name given by Postum Co. Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for the little
book, The Road to W~ellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postur-must be boiled,
instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A t~easpoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup OF hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage
Instantly. Grocers sell both kinds
There's a reason" for Postum.

, There was a ford but it was rocky

by a Tree use OF ropes and iariats that
the entire command finally succeeded

ering with the cold. the troopers again
found their ssadles and pressed grtmly
forward on the trail. Hamlin. with
ave others, led the way along q beat

the passing herd of Indian ponies and
plainly marked by the trailing poles
Of numerous wicky-ups.

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier, Cal, which netted
its owner a profit Of $3,2O5 in one
year. This tree was planted in 1905
and began bearing in its fourth year
In 1912 it bore 5000 pears, which sold
for 81 800, while the sale of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to 81
7O5, making the total given above.
The tree is a seeding, the seed hay
irg been planted with a quantity Of
other seed which had heen imported
presumably from Mexico, Another
tree which was planted at the same
time, and which stands close to this
phenomenal bearer, has never borne
more than SO pears in a season This
valuable tree is now protected by a
high fence built on an octagonal plan
The pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.

THE sat.,. with the Indians

Corbin had gone with h detach-
ment circling to the left, and "Califor-
mia Joe" was with h other In the
valley, but Hamlin remained with the
chief. About them was profound 81
lence, the men standing beside their
horses. There was nothing to do but
walt, every nerve at high tension.
The wintry air grew colder, but the
troopers were not allowed to make the
slightest noise, not even to swing
their arms or stamp their feet. After
the last detachment swept silently out
into the night, there still remained
four hours of daylight. No one knew
what hsd occurred; the various
troops had melted away into the dark

Grated somewhat, and the upper crust
became soft. Before them stretched
the dreary level Of the plains, broken
by occasional rayines and little $50
lated patches of trees. No sign OF
Indians was seen other than the de-
serted trail, and confident that the
band had had fully twenty-rour hours
start their purEuers advanced as rapid

very ~Clcnrness Of the trail WAS v
Gence that the Indians had no CON

Confident OF safety in their winter re-
treat, they were making no effort to
protect their ear, dreaming
there were soldiers within hundreds
of miles. Whatever report Dupont had
made. it had awakened no alarm. Why
should #? So far as he knew there
were but two men pursuing him into
the Wilderness. and both Of these he
believed lying deaf In the snow.
Steadily, mile after mile, they rode,
and It was after dark when the little
column was finally halted beside a
stream. where they could safely hide
themselves IN a patch Of timber Tiny
fires were built under protection OF
the steep banks OF the creek. and the
men made coffee, and fed their hun
cry horses. The silence was profound.
1t was a dark night, although the sur
rounding snow plains yielded a spec

fee and m%unching bareback with the
troop captain, sent for Sergeant Ham

glow of the fire, and saluted.

SUICIDE SWAPS THIS FAMILY
Numerous Succession OF Domestic
Tragedies In England Puzzles
Officials Of London.

London.-A remarkable sequence OF
domestic tragedies has been brought
TO light by the Identification OF the
victims of poisoning in a hotel at
Kings Cross, London, as Mrs. Emily
Cove, thirty-six, and her son, Alex
ander, twelve.
The boy was dead when discovered
in the bedroom at the hotel, and his
mother was unconscious, but she was
stated to be progressing f~avorably.
Her husband, a York silk merchant,
committed suicide by drowning HIM
self in a bath.
Rer eldest son William was found
dead in bed from gas poisoning, the
coroner's Jury returning a verdict of
suicide.
Mrs. Cove, who at the hotel gave
the name of Johnson, was identified
at the Royal Free hospital by Miss
Clara Hicks from York, as her sister,
who for some time had been a GER
tificated nurse in Lancashire. Mrs.
COVE left York with her son on Sep
TENDER is.
When the elder brother ended his
life Alexander, who occupied the
same bed. had a narrow escape. His
brother had attached a tube to the
gas bracket and placed the other end
among the ~bedciothes. Alexander,
when he awoke, felt Ill, but was able
TO get up and TURF of the gas. He
was unable to awaken his brother,
who was found TO be dead.

One of the three great measures up

action was taken by the House will
be annulled.

that a home for the blind will be
built in High Point, that a site of
three acres has already been donated
aud that the Association would put
up the buildings. The institution
will be self-supporting, due to the
fact that the blind are industrious
and can readily find a market for
the work of their hands.
