SKlLLFUL WITH the ARROW
Amazon Indians, Using Poisoned
Weapons, Are by No Means Foe
to Be Despieed.

The uncanny skill of the Amazon IN
dams with poisoned arrows won the
awed admiration of Mr.. Algot LANCE,
who was cured Of jungle-fever by Man
geromas after his comrades had sue
cumbed to beriberi and poisonous
swamp snakes. In his book, In the
Amazon Jungle" Mr.. Lange describes
hunting trip that he made with two
members Of the tribe:
I'VE had scarcely gone mile, when
we discovered on the opposite bank Of
the creek, about one hundred and Atty
yards away. wild hog roofing for

brush, but the hog was In full view. Al

fitted arrows to their bowstrings. In
stead Of shooting pointbiank and
manipulating the bows with their
hands and arms, they placed their
great toes on the lower end Of the bow.

the proper tension and inclination to
the bows, which were eight feet long.
With whir the poisoned arrows shot
forth, sailed gracefully through the

Here's to Old Ace.

According to statistics just pub
ished Berlin appears to be an extra
ordinarily healthful place for the aged,
who live there in remarkably large
numbers. A feature Of the figures is
the much greater number of old wom-

Berlin the number of men between
seventy and eighty is 1855, while the
number of women is 25,204 For
Greater Berlin the figures are 30,049

Open-Air SLEEPING.

There is fad just now among Eng
fish society persons for sleeping In the
open air. A devotee of this new cure"
Is Lady Byron, who sleeps In corner
of her picturesque garden, which slopes
up to Hampstead Heath.
The pioneer of the movement, which
has spread all over the British Isles,
from shooting boxes In Scotland to
fishing huts in ireland, is well known
Scottish hostess, who one day, as an
experiment, had twelve beds placed for
guests to occupy, if they liked. in DIFF
ferent parts OF her spacious garden.
Endless amusement was caused by one
elderly guest, who insisted on making
an extensive tour in the vicinity of her
bed to see that no spiders-of which
she had great dread--were lurking
In the neighborhood.
Nine. Cecil Mari describes to the
Daily Mirror this latest craze. Really
fashionable people do not dream Of
sleeping under a roof at this time Of
the year." she says. "They have their
beds taken out of doors into the gar
den. Ladies who have almost begun
to despair Of their compilations take
heart again after a few weeks trial
Of this all weather treatmen,. Sleep>
ing In the open has a remarkably
stealing effect on the nerves, and La
a sovereign remedy for insomnia"

GET ANOTHER BAD CHECK.
D. @. Herbst Managed to increase His

~. Y. AerDSI Managed TO lnucreaSe HIS
Fund at Second Hand Store.
Another victim of D. G Herbst, the
working man." who managed to get
rid of some worthless checks in Keno
sha, was discovered by the police this
morning when D. Stacker, the proprietor
Of a second hand furniture store at the
end of Main street, brought five dol
lar check to Chief O'Hare. This check
was passed on Stacker last Saturday
and Herbst got the money. 1t was
sent to the bank for payment and by
the bank to the Evanston bank and
returned marked "no account" The
police are of the opinion that the OPP
erations Of Herbst were pretty wide
ly spread about the city and they are
expecting other checks to show up. No
trace Of the man has been found and
it is probable that with the money he
secured he managed to get some dis

Oats Under Her Bed.

Until today it was thought that the
prize package for divorce complaint
in turbulent matrimonial seas went
hands down to the Indiana woman
who was forced to make a trial for
single bliss on the complaint that her
husband insisted that their baby sleep
in soap box. while the house dog
be allowed to sleep in their bed.
However, an application for divorce
filed in the circuit court here, says
a Fort Wayne dispatch, runs at least
neck-and-neck race with the soap
box proposition. Mrs. Lenus Lenhart
brought suit against her farmer hus-
band, alleging in her complaint that
he insisted on placing the pillow in the
parlor. the corn planter and other
farm implements in the kitchen and
stored the oats and corn under their
bed.
Mrs. Lenhart declared that her hus-
band feared that the farm machinery
would rust if kept In the barn.

Watertown man charged Cowell with
repeated Misrepresentation of property
which he had traded to him and he
held that fictitious values had been
given to the property. Cowel on the
other hand charged that the Water
town man had valued property which
he had traded to him at ten times its
real value. Attorney Henry ]. Hast
ings, who represented Cowell in the
suit, declared at the time of the filing
of it that it was case of Greek

which had been followed by the
Watertown man left him wide open.
The bonds furnished by Cowel had
been in the hands of the court since
May, 1911.
In discussing the case on Monday
evening, Mr.. Cowell said: ct regard

this suit without a sign of prosecu-

connection with the land deals on
which the suit was based and I was
convinced, as were my attorneys, that
these would have shown to any fair

was unwilling to have the facts in the
case submitted to. a jury and some

Ii was declared by the defendant
that there had been no settlement of
the case out of the courts and that
the withdraway of the action had been
voluntary on the part of the Water

Mr.. Cowell refused to say whether
or not there would be further actions
in regard to the land deal, but the
matter has been left in the hands of

DEFENDS QUICK LUNCH

Medical Journal Also Advises the Do
Ing Away With Breakfast, Which
1t Claims Is Not Neces-
sary Meal.

Were the entire food supply Of the
world eQuitably distributed the labors
Of surgeons and physicians alike would
be sensibly reduced, but In the mean
time those who eat too much are as
frequently the care of medical men
as are those who eat too little. y. .
The victims of excess or of depriva-
ton can be relieved by treatment, but
the advice must be carefully followed,
and neither patient necessarily does
this. In the case of the man
who eats too much, and equally in
the case Of the man who cannot obtain
more than two meals day, it is sug-
gested. we have read recently, that the
meal to be sacrificed should be break
fast. The reason offered for this be-
lief Is that after the nights sleep the
bodily strength, nervous and muscu-
Jar, is at its highest, and work can be
carried on without food The machine
lis running strongly and no fuel is re-
CURED for the time being. There
would appear to be good foundation
for such belief, says the London Ian.
Get, and yet, In this country at any
rate, we believe very few people act
upon 1t.
How many men are In the habit OF
doing any work before they have
breakfast? Very few, we imagine.
Yet, as the evidence of some literary
{c -
day more fitted for the production Of
intellectual or imaginative work than
the early morning hours, which, quiet
and refreshing, are friendly to brain
work, breakfast or no breakfast. For
manual labor the no breakfast plan
is not so suitable. A little fresh air
exercise to start the day, following
the habit of some athletes In training,
is thing that many professional or
business man might cultivate with adj,
vantage. -.
There is a great deal to be said In
favor of the coffee and rolls" plan,
and for men whose day Ia spent in
work which taxes the brain and nerv.
GUS system generally more than the
muscles the wise course is to relegate
anything approaching a hearty meal
to the period of relaxation, the eve
ming, But that part of the continental
system which involves the eating of
a heavy lunch is as Objectionable as
our own heavy breakfast plan, It can
be excused only If adequate time Is
given after the meal for the digestion
thereof, and most professional and
business men cannot spare the hours
ease which should follow a hearty mid
day meal. In most continental cities,
where the midday meal is heavy one,
an hour or so is commonly spent in
smoking and chatting afterward. This
leisurely proceeding, however, ia not
possible with the more strenuous
business habits of England and Amer
lea, az the quick lunch" institution
testifies. Nor need the quick lunch
be severely deprecated IL the quaint
ty Of food ingested is reduced In &C.
cordance with the time taken for its
consumption.

suit brought by Edward Gnatzig
against Walter M. Cowell and what
promised to be one of the most sensa-

that it was his intention to drop the
case. 1t is possible that new action

action reversed.
The suit was instituted by Gnatzig
