enough food to appease her hunger.
Miss Alice Reed, one of the laChdry
workers who went out on strike sew
eraI days ago, applied for a job as
driver of a wagon with a prominent

proprietor thought that she was 1ok-

she was in earnest and needed work
that badly, he gave her the job.
Aren't you afraid to handle horse
and wagon in the busy downtown dis

SAUNDERS C0NFESSES
ADMITS SHOOTING BRoTHER-IN.
LAW FOR PERSONAL REA-
SONS.
Slayer of Stephen Wood Breaks
Down on Way to Scene of Crime
and Makes Confession.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Montrose, Colo-Frank Saunders,
thirty, has confessed to Sheriff NJ. A.
Galloway and Coroner ]. @. Allen that
he killed his brother-in-law. Stephen
Wood, when the latter was shot in the
back at the ranch home of his parents,
five miles from Naturita. The con-
fession was made after Saunders had
been put through grilling examina-
ton before the coroner's jury at
Nucla by Deputy District Attorney d.
II. Hughes.
Saunders said Wood was respon-
sible for the theft of several of his
horses last year and also intimated
that family quarrels. resulting from
the marriage of Saunders to Woods
sister. was partly responsible.
Sheriff Galloway started with the
prisoner for Montrose. but when with
in five miles of Placerville, the
nearest railroad station. the car
broke down and they were compelled
to walk to Placervi,le and stay there
all night.
Saunders said another person was
with him on the night of the shooting,
but refused to give any name. Tracks
of two men and two horses were dis
covered, and seven shots were fired
as evidenced by empty cartridges.
One was from rifle and this corre-
sponded to the bullet taken from
Woods body. The others were from
q revolver.
1t is believed that Saunders wife.
who was at her parents home. knew
of the shooting. When told of her
husbands arrest and confession, she
became hysterical.

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard of ghosts. but none
Of us have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola ''fiends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands of
drug-habit cases, including opium. NOR
phine. cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that
they have never seen a case where the
use of Coca Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute
habit in the true sense of the word: AL
though millions of glasses Of Coca Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola
fiends have ever made themselves vis-
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see it advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get it and contentedly
do without it when they can't get it.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
Of a real drug fiend when deprived of
his drug. il you had ever observed the
agony he suffers. you would never
again be so unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit-forming" drugs.-Adv.

FIND VALUABLE OLD VOLUMES
British Museum Gets Two Copies Of
the "Lyf Of our Lady"-copies
Are Rare.

London.-The British Museum has
Just secured two copies OF the only
two leaves known of the so-called sec
ond edition OF the "Lyf of our Lady"
by John Lydgate. printed by CaxtoD
about 1884 in folio.
Some time ago the librarian of the
ST. Bride Typographical Library. Mr..
r. A. Peddie, discovered among a col
lection of pamphlets and other papers
originally the property of William
Blades a bundle of early printed
leaves and fragments of leaves wrap
ped in a leather binding from which
the boards had been removed. On in.
vestigation it was discovered that the
whole of the printed matter was from
Cations press and the binding itself
was from his workshop. There were
thirty-eight leaves of the Boethius,
printed about 147S, and there appear
ed to be little doubt that the binding
originally belonged to the Boethius
and that the careful disintegration of
the boards had resulted in the remain
ing fragments.
Among these fragments these six
copies OF the two leaves before re-
ferred to we're discovered. One leaf
was still pasted on the binding. The
"Lyf of our Lady" contains ninety-six
leaves and there are eight copies now
known to be in existence.

light, with which it was confused by
mariners many years ago.
A year ago the scheme of a local
land company to acquire the light
house was defeated by the hue and cry
that was raised by citizens of Scituate
and patriotic societies all over the
country. In the town meeting last
March the town raised $1,000 for the
purchase of the lighthouse.
The story of the heroic Bates girls
may be found in many Of the histories
OF the Bay state. The two young
daughters of Aaron Bates. the light
keeper, lived with their father on the
then lonely strip of beach half mile
from the village of Scituate.
One day when their father was In
his fields mile from the lighthouse
a British man-o'war came in and an
chored half mile off the shore. The
boatloads of sailors started ashore.
The invasion of Scituate was undoubt
edly prevented by the two girls. who,
taking from the wall fife and drum
which had been carried by their grand
father in the revolution and on which
they had frequently practiced. they got
behind sand hill and struck up

that the sailors returned to the ship
which sailed away. The girls have
