Man Transfixed by a Shot From
Teuton Aviator.
Steel Arrow Goes From Head to Foot,
Killing Man Instantly - Dogs
Scurry for Shelter When
They Hear Cannon.
BY A. r. DECKER.

Correspondent of the Chicago News
Pont-a-Mousson, France.-Beautiful-
ly clear and crisp winter weather
brought out the French and German
aviators today The first to appear
was German air craft from Metz. 1t
was brand new biplane with broad
spreading wings and shining armor.
The big yellow bird flew nearly
overhead and dropped something
which cleaned white for an instant
and then disappeared from view. |
waited tensely for the explosion, which
failed to come. The aviator departed
in the direction of Ste. Genevieve.
Afterward l learned that he had
dropped a card with a message that
the kaiser sent salutations to Pont-a-
Mousson on his birthday and that later
he would endeavor to send more SUBJ
stantial greetings in the form of
shells.
word. This afternoon the German bat
terry in the quarry at Norroy lombard
ed the town and shells fell near the
railroad station, on the boulevard and
at the gas works.
When the first shell raced in, leav-
ing trail of high pitched noise, was
standing at the corner of the main
cross street where some dogs were
prowling about. The first dull boom
of the cannon sent them running like
mad into a neighboring hallway. Most
of the people also sought shelter until
the storm of flying steel had passed.
Heavy cannonading was heard in
the east, along the Seille river all the
afternoon, and, to follow it more close
ly, / walked up and down the bank of
the Moselle from the sentinel at one
end of the town to the sentinel at the
other end, who mark the limits of my
liberty. Suddenly | heard purring
noise coming from a northerly direc-
ton and. looking up, | saw coming
swiftly toward me a German aero
plane, which might have been the
same that came earlier in the day
watched it with my glasses, and as he
had done in the morning the aviator
now dropped something which cleaned
for an instant in the sunshine before
it was lost to view.
Later | learned the object the flyer
had dropped was steel arrow which
transfixed a man from head to foot.
killing him instantly. The victim was
a civilian. He was the twenty-first
killed in Pont-a-Mousson by German
and French aeroplanes, shells and
stray bullets.

SNAKE STORY SEASON is ON
Here Is One of Rattline Tales From
Wyoming That Makes Most
Promising Beginning.

Newcastle, Wyo.-Lloyd and Dwight
Nichols had an exceptional experience
the other night. They had gone out
to Lloyd's ranch to spend the night,
and when they reached there Lloyd
jumped cut of the wagon and a rattle
snake began rafting. He lit match
and killed the snake.
Just as he got to the door he found
another snake lying on the door sill,
and killed it before going in. When
he opened the door he found another
one just inside of the door, and when
he went to get the lantern that was on
the shelf he found another RATHER on
the shelf.
BY this time he thought it would be
a good idea to take look and see if it
was safe to stay there that night. He
went over to his bed and pulled back
the covers and found a snake much
larger than the rest he had killed, so
he told Dwight that he believed it a
good move to adjourn from that snake
den.
They left the snakes in possession
Of Lloyd's bungalow and went over to
their fathers ranch, where they spent
the rest of the night in peace.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an carly age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 53I Charles ST.,
Iuzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say Of them;
"some time ago we began using DIR.
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor OF any medi-
cine is very important no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard il is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Niles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape Of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate favor and
absence Of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your

European Situation Forces American
Managers Into New

London.-American theatrical man
ayers are beginning to feel the failure
of France and Germany as fields for
finding new plays. Miss Cecil Dorian,
who looks after the European in
terests of Morosco and scouts for new
plays, leaves London shortly for Spain,
where she will go over the theatrical
situation and get in touch with the
leading Spanish dramatists. She said
to a newspaper correspondent: THE
theaters are open in Berlin and Vienna
and few in Paris, but they are, as
in London, chiefly staging reyivals.
When one remembers how many for
eign plays are at least considered
every year by American producers, it
is clear that other channels must be
opened
