 No Disposition to Eat or Drink.
 As it was assumed that Elliott had been without food for over 60 hours Sheriff Bates was quick to arrange for the feeding of the man. Mrs. Bates, a splendid motherly woman, showed the prisoner every considera- tion and as she offered Elliott a warm drink she said, Drink this, John. ;" Mrs. Bates has known Elliott for years, as has her husband, the sheriff, who was q schooImate of Elliott's mother.
 Elliott could be induced to partake of only the slightest quantity of food or drink, however. A little gruel was almost forced between his parched and swollen lips, but he could not CT would not eat Rev, c. J. Hartman, nam, who was among those who hur- ried to the Bates home in automobiles, held a glass of water to ElHott's lips
 This act brought the first words from Elliott. 'Is this fit to drink ?' he managed to say, apparently fear ing for his safety. He was assured that it was and then slipped at the water.
 Would Not Talk.
 Every effort to question him failed He would not or could not talk about l his crime nor any other subject. Dep uty Sheriff George F. Holbrook asked him how he came to be injured How were you hurt ?' the sheriff asked | Elliott mumbled in reply that Some body got hurt" -@ That was the last word that could l be gotten out of him. Seated in q i ring of curious persons, constantly augmented in number, he gaze6 straight ahead, his bloodshot and hail closed eyes unblinking. Among the first who came was Emery Pettis brother of the murdered man. He stood before Elliott and gazed at hi1r as if fascinated. Flliott's eyes, gaZee unblinkingly into space. It is be lieved that he did not recognize Pet tis, for he showed no more interest 1T him than in any other person. -.
 A RepuIsive Sight.
 Elliott was a sight to behold before he was washed by those who had hin in charge. His face was heavily coated with blood and dirt and put oozed from his ears. His appearance was somewhat improved under tht
 care given him, but he was repul sive sight even after that

 Was Again Searched.
 Elliott was again searched at the hospital. This final inspection re- suited in the finding of seven more bullets, one with a steel jacket, the others with lead noses. As quickly as possible Elliott was assisted to cot in the hospital ward, where a guard was posted and one will be kept over him during his stay at the institution.
 Criminal Has IneurabIe Disease. In stature, Elliott is of the type that is described in the vernacuIar of the street as a shrimp. He doesn't weigh over 125 pounds. Nevertheless he is a brutal, treacherous criminal. He has evidently decided not to speak about the murders and even one who has known him as long as Deputy Sheriff Bates was unable to get a

With Scissors and Paste
COUNTRY STIFFNESS,

II seems TO me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring nor whistles
blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs
don't sound,
And I'd have stiffness all around.
NOT real stiffness. but just the trees
Low whisperings, or the hum Of the
bees.
or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe cricket or d katydid,
or the songs OF birds in hedges hid,
Or Just some such sweet sounds as
these
To ill tired heart with ease.
IL weren't for sight and sound and
smell.

] like the country lots the best.

Just quit the city's din and dust
And get out where the sky is blue
And say, how docs II seem to you?

When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's Disease, which Is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble. caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in one year, in the state of
New York alone. Therefore. it is par
ticularly necessary to pay more at
tention TO the health of these import
ant organs,
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DIR. Kilmer's swamp Root,
the great kidney. liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases. is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten-
ton, get Swamp-Root AT once from
any pharmacy. Ii is sold by every
