Added to Mrs Conklin's suit, Mrs.
Hooker also faces one from the hus-

seandauols stories he accuses the
woman of circulating, or having
caused him to lose his position with
the Southern Express company and
Of libeling him to his neighbors.

Desert Holds Mystery.

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, July %,
Ill and feeble, Ernest Brant, 80,
veteran prospector, is believed to be
wandering somewhere in the Mojave
desert with his pet burro. He prefers
the solitude of the desert and the
companionship of the little donkey to
the companionship of men. Brant
recently appeared at the county hos
pital here and asked for admission
for himself and his burro The hos
pital authorities said they couldn't ad-
NIT the burro, "But he is SICK" pro-
tested Brant. The white coated at
taches shook their heads Without
a word Brant turned, patted the ami
NAL, and faced toward the wilderness.

French Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles. The
French have for generations used a
simple mixture of vegetable oils that
relieve stomach and intestinal all
ments and keep the bowels free from
foul, poisonous matter. The stomach
is left to perform its functions nor
mally. Indigestion and gastritis van
ish.
Mr. Geo. H. Mayr, a reading drug
gist of Chicago, cured himself with
this remedy in a short time. The de-
mand is so great that he imports
these oils from France and COM
pounds them under the name of
Mayr's wonderful Remedy, People
everywhere write and testify to the
marvellous relief they have received
using this remedy-one dose will rid
the body Of poisonous accretions
that have accumulated for years and
convince the most chronic sufferer
from stomach, liver or intestinal
troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is sold
BY leading druggists everywhere with
the positive understanding that your
money will be refunded without ques-
ton or bubble if ONE bottle fails
TO give you absolute satisfaction.

AND SMUGGLERS
FIGHT ON "HELES HUNDRED

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 27.--
"Helrs Hundred" is what old timers
call the 100 miles of Mexican border
between Tian Juana and MeXicah, the
two toughest towns" on the Ameri-
can continent
And on that 100 mile stretch-Am-
erica's last frontier-a handful of
United States inspectors is today
fighting a guerilla warfare with scores
of white, black and tan smugglers
whose sole object in life is to beat
Uncle Sans custom laws, They have
been fighting the war for months,
The end is not in sight.
Far away from telegraphs and tele-
phones there are almost daily skir-
mishes They never break into the
newspapers, Gangs of frightened,
sheeplike Chinese are rounded up
sometimes while the agents attempts
ing to sneak them over the border
flee with bullets droning above them,
Desperadoes with automobile cargoes
Of opium match their motor against
the ponies of the inspectors and again
the bullets drone. Battles have been
fought in the desert mountains and in
the alkaline beds of dried up oce-
ans. Occasionally someone is killed,
or batch of prisoners captured But
the censorship of lonely wastes devoid
of telegraph or telephone proves a.
stronger bar to news than the censor
ship of Europe.
The war is directed from Los Ange-
les. Jack Elliott, collector of the
Port of Los Angeles, is commander I'M
chief. He sits in his office and gets
reports. He issues secret orders
Sometimes bronzed youths with band
aged hands or heads confer with him
seriously. Once every few weeks he
sheds his business suit, dons khaki
and sombrero and disappears, to re-
turn awhile later. sunburned, saddle
sore and determined.
The boys are doing well, he says.

TESTING THE SPELLING
ABILITY or UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, d. O., July 21.-
Seven out OF every 1907 thlrd-grade
public school children can not spell
has This and other curious evil
dence of the special problems inher-
ent in the teaching Of spelling are
brought out by DR. Leonard p. Ayres,
of the Russell Sage Foundation, in a
study Just published
AS a result of eomblng the four
most extensive studies that have been
made to Identify the commonly used
in different sorts of English writing
Or. Ayres has selected the 1000 words
that constitute 80 per cent Of the lam
guage ordinarily used. This selee-
tiQn was made from various English
authors from four sunday newspap-
ers of Buffalo, n Y, and from the
business and family correspondence
OF over 2OO0 adults The object of
the study was to develop a scale for
measuring attainment in the spelling
of common words on the part Of the
school children
Cooperating with the city super
intendent In S4 cities of the United
States, Dr. Ayres had the 1000 COM
monest words tested by an aggregate
of 100000 spellings, secured from
70, 600 public school children. The
result, according to DR., Ayres made
is possible to accurately measure
spelling ability, and to compute the
amount of improvement in spelling
the same words from grade to grade
BY scale arrangement, extending
on line from 0 to 100, spelling abi-i
lity" is easily and scientifically de-
termined For example, nine words
of most frequent use, viz: the, "in'
so, mo. now" mod, imam,
ten" bed" "ttop," revealed that
second grade pupils, on an average,
spelled correctly "a per cent of these
words At the other extreme of the
scale the words "judgment," "recom-
mend" and "allege" were found to-
be spelled correctly by just so per
cent of eighth-grade pupils Percen-
tages above and below these WOULD
indicate variations from the normal
in spelling.
DR.. Ayres finds that intellectual
abilities are distributed in much the
same way among people as are ply
steal traits. Just as there are few
dwarfs, many people of medium
height, and very few giants; so there
are very few exceedingly poor spell |
ers, many medium. ones, and only a
few excellent ones Few words dol
