Science has shown that nasal catarrh

The conner at the B. A. c. is 'Rube" Heinie of Avondale. This sterling young lightweight has proved a sem sation in his two bouts at the Ath- letic club. In his first match he fought the club favorite Biscoe Seals, and held his own, although Seals was pounds heavier. His second bout ended in a quick knockout for his opponent and Manager Bill Streit contemplates a good flstio future for the youngster.

 Manager Carleton Molesworth opines that he will have as good a team as any other manager in the league. Moley ought to know.

Seek Missing Heir in Vain
From the New York Sun.

AOai 'iie ANV'N T oA A ouii
 Kane, Pa.-After searching for mora than seven years for Keith DaIrymple of Port Allegany, who recently fell heir to fortune amounting to s365. .000 without finding any trace of him rela- tfves and close friends of Dalrymple now believe that he has met with foul play.
 At the age of IS years young Dalrym- pie was taken to Long Beach, Cal, tc reside with his grandmother Mrs. F. Il. Arnold. A few months later the boy left the Arnold home to visit friend of the family who lived in the vicinity of the Arnold home. Since that time no trace of him has been found, although detectives have made thorough search for him throughout the country. That Dalrymple met with foul play shortly after leaving the Arnold home seems certain, as relatives believe he would have been heard from if alive. Up to the day he departed for visit at the home Of friend his mother, who was at her home in Port Allegany, had heard from her son almost daily. The missing herr would have been 21 years old on the 18th day of last February.
 A sad incident in connection with the mysterious case was the death of the missing boys mother. which occurred on the same day that her son reached his twenty-first birthday. Her death was directly duo to worry over her son's strange disappearance. The final account of the estate of E P. Dalrymple and Keith E. Dalrymple has been filed by w. A. Dusenbury. who was guardian of Keith Dalrymple and executor of the D. P. Dalrymple estate. The guardians account shows balance of 4365, 900 be- longing to Keith Dalrymple.

REFUGEES ATTEMPT
 ID COMMIT SUICIDE. BARES TRAGIC STORY
Belgian Young Lady Loses Her Dowry During War. Deserted by Her
 Fiance

London. January ss.-tsLecialo In the sordid surroundings of Godal- ming police court there was unIolded a romance of the Belgian refugees which has touched the hearts of all who heard it. The principal character is young Belgian woman accused Of attempting to commit suicide
 Maria Pisneur, the prisoner and two Belgian officers called at a hotel in Godalming and had luncheon there Afterward Maria went into another room alone and there drank a large quantity of liniment. Aid was quickly brought to her and she recovered
 As the evidence in the police court prough out, Lieutenant Colard one or the two Belgian officers. had been in love with the girl but in Bc..ium no officer is allowed to marry. unless it is shown that his intended wife has dowry of at least 10000 francs (sS000)
 Lieutenant Collard was wounded early in the campaign and brought to hospital in Antwerp. Here Miss Pig neur came to see him every day.
 She was in Antwerp throughout the bombardment. For four days and night g she stayed in a cellar without food. -''' hSi t'otntS were ioSi m tnc con fusion and she had to make herself some garments by the light of candle before she could leave the city and come to England.
 Lieutenant Collard had preceded her here. They met by accident at d rail- road station, where the lieutenant had gone to sec a comrade off to the front.
 Apparently the lieutenant's devotion had cooled. It seems that by reason of the bombardment and the chaos in Bel gium whatever dowry Miss Plgneur had had was now gone.
 Three or four days after this Col lard received a letter from Miss Pig neur in which she said that as he seemed to have lost his affection for her they had better part. He wrote back saving this was agreeable to him and seemed the best in the circumstances
 But a little later she sent him a tell egram saying she was coming to God aiming for a last interview and ex- planation
 The womans story excited general sympathy in the courtroom. The police superintendent, who had charge of the case, said that he would provide a home for the girl if she were set free. The magistrate seemed deeply moved.
 The prisoner has undoubtedly un- dergone in the last five months all the suffering she deserves he said "She is discharged"

If he marries his wife will take boarders or take in washing to support him. He will be the poor re- lation of the family. There is always member of family who never gets along" we hear. That is very often true and 1t is true because that mem- Der of the family is permitted to be lazy and leaning.
 The world has a great many lazy leaners. That is one of the faults of the world and the unpleasant features of living in it.
 That mother is wise who never al- lows child to receive pennies from stDngers unless he earns them and who places him in solitary confine- ment and slight or no diet if she catches him asking for them. Pennies. given or taken. may be the corner stone on which the future is built.

 of Religious Societies

Miss Florence Tate, known as the small est woman In Illinois, and one of the smallest women in the world, died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Tate, Granite City at the age, of 45 years, says St. Louis special to the New York Sun
 Miss Tate had had innumerable oppor- tunties to travel with various crcuses, and at one time rejected contract which called for a salary of upward of sl0o a week. Her deep religious sentiments pre- vented her from travelling with circus.
 She was born to MT. and Mrs. Samuel Tate at Flora, H., and was the eldest of three girls. Her father and mother were unusually large, and all her brothers and sisters were large. Miss Tate was but "A inches tall and weighed 57 pounds
 Many of her paintings have been ex- hibited at art displays and her needle work has been sold in all parts of the world. Art critics declared her paintings in oil excellent.
 She wore 8 No. baby size shoe and baby gloves. In spite of her handicap Miss Tate was devout religious worker, and was affiliated with the Womens S Christian Temperance union. Foreign Mis- sionary society and other organizations.
 u Was Stiu Siit never 1nlSSeQ a meeting of any of her societies She had held of- fices in the national organization of the Foreign Missionary society and district offices in the Epworth league. One of Miss Tate's hobbies was to distribute post cards and it is estimated that she sent out more than 25o0o0 to all parts of the world.
 AS d means of livelihood Miss Tate made art work. She was a charter mem- Der of the Shut-in society, which she helped organize years ago among af- hicted persons who could not leave their homes. She was possessed of remarK- able memory and never failed to recall an acquaintance. Miss Tate travelled ex- tensively throughout the Unted States. Accompanied by her mother. she visited nearly every state in the west. Although her hands and arms were tiny, Miss Tate worked with her art work and paintings untiringly. A large number of her paintings and much of her fancy noedleworl are in the homes of wealthy persons.
