$3.50 Month Too Much
For Food For His Wife

Boston, Mass. - Mrs. Frances Mar
tel says her husband gave her $3.50
month for food, but that he sud-
denly discontinued this because he de-
cided she was getting fat on 1t.
She also told a Jury in the Suffolk
Superior Court, where he was being
tried for nonsupport, that they had
been married nineteen years, that he
had unreasonably failed TO provide for
her and that he was also over jealous
of her.

Whenever he received his pay enve-
lope, she said, he first visited a bar
room, then, later came home.
Martel tried his own case and cross
examined his wife. He questioned her
closely concerning her belief in for
tune tellers and spiritualistic meet
ings, though she denied she ever
visited either, or believed in them.
He also informed the Jury that Mrs.

OPPORTUNITY

We can all testify to the truth that
opportunity knocks more than once
Opportunity is often present. but few
men are prepared to receive this great
and welcome guest.
My opinion is that we expect too
much of opportunity. Most men are
looking for full-hedged Standard
Oil to call on them. unannounced.
The biggest business in all the world
had its beginning in a very small way.
My measure of the word "opportun-
ity" Is simple and quite easy to ex-
plain and equally easy to understand.
At the rising of every sun we are
afforded another chance, and out of
these chances we must make our own
opportunity.
Reasonable people are taught by a
long line of experiences to wait the
development of things worth while.
Rational folks should remember that

In Perfect Health

the Family Laxative For
Many Years.

Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld, of Carlyle, ILL.,,
recently wrote to DIR. Caldwell, at Mon
ticello, ILL.,, that she has used Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup of Pepsin in her home for
number of years, and would not be
without 1t. as with 1t she has been able
to keep her four children in perfect
health. DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts on the bowels in
an easy. natural way. and regulates
the action of this most important
junction. Nearly all the sickness to
which children are subject is traceable
to bowel inaction, and a mild, depend
able laxative. such as DIR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, should have place in
every family medicine chest. 1t Is
pleasant to the taste and children like
1t, and take 1t readily, while it is
equally effective for adults.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsn is sold
IN drug stores everywhere for fifty
cents bottle. To avoid limitations
and ineffective substitutes be sure you

"Boy Bandit" With $2,452
Stage Money, Confesses

Monroe, Wis. - Chief of Police w.
o. Blunt had occasion to question q
youngster who had been guilty of q
little indiscretion, and from, his ac-
tfons knew he was not making a clean
breast of the affair.
Better tell the straight of 1t, and
come clean," was the advice of the
officer but he was not prepared for
the surprise the youngster had in
store for him, when reaching into his
pocket he pulled out roll of bills
which would have been more typical
of Deadfoot sport, declaring:
There is S2,452 in that roll and I
stole it from Turner opera house."
Chief Blunt counted the money find
ing the amount correct as stated by
the youthful Jimmie Valentine, but
all ideas Of his getting his name on
the front page of the metropolitan
dailies faded from his sight when he
discovered the roll was "stage money"
which had been left behind by a COM

In 1907 he sold out and went on the road on com mission basis for M. E. Carter & Co. of Memphis. In the short time of six months this firm placed MT. Mullens on salary and after six years with them he resigned to open a branch wholesale establishment in this city for Mayo 6 Robinson of Wynne. He has built a large business for this firm and the profits for both he and his house have been large, but Jim has never made mistake yet and thinks he sees something better in the new place which he accept ed the next day after he resign ed with Mayo & Robinson. We predict with the lineup of busi- ness men he has associated to- gether in one strong company, that the Mullens Wholesale Gro cery will be one big success from the very word 'go'' and that the stock will pay handsome dividends each year. In fact, this house will control about 75 per cent of the business in this territory and with J. w. Mullens
