WOMAN F0RFEITS
MILLIONS TO WE'D
Widow Of Coal Operator is
Bride Of Physician.

Huntington, w. Va, Sept. 25.-That
Mrs. John C. c. Mayo, widow of the
Kentucky coal operator, has forfeited
$20,000,000 to become the bride OF DR..
Samuel R. Fetter, of Portsmouth,
Ohio, became known.
The wedding took place at the home
of G. A. Preston, postmaster in Ash
land, Ky. Her two children will get
their mothers share in their fathers
estate through a provision of the will.
John c. c. Mayo attracted not little
attention by reason OF his sudden
climb from the position of country
school teacher at Paintsville, KY, to
that of one of the biggest individual
coal operators in the country. Start
ing out by acquiring options on squat
ters' claims in the Kentucky noun
tains, he sold them for $3.50 900. With
this he established a number of coal
companies.
Two years ago he became ill and
was rushed on board special train
to New York city, where he had the
services of leading surgeons and ply
sicians in an effort to save his life. A
TRANSMISSION of blood was necessary
and his brother, Washington Mayo,
made the sacrifice. 1t was useless, the
coal operator dying a few days later
Mrs. Mayo announced that she would
take her husbands place on the board
of directors Of some OF his enterprises,
but changed her mind She was the
eXecutriX of the estate

HARD NUT TO CRACK
FOR U. S. OFFICERS
Problem on High Cost Of LiV-
ing Put Up to Them

New York, Sept 25.-Whether the
shortage in the wheat and corn crops
and the growing export trade in food
commodities will increase materially
the already high cost of living, is
question Joseph Hartigan, commission.
er of weights and measures OF this
city, has asked the federal department
of agriculture to answer.
In letter to Secretary Houston, the
commissioner cited the government es,
Inmates that the wheat crop is 100000.
900 bushels smaller than last year, and
that the corn crop is short by $4,000,
900 bushels. He says that IF the pres,
ent ratio of export, between five and
six million bushels per week, is main,
tanned, only 3OO,O0O,OOO bushels OF
wheat will be left for domestic use
He asserts that 620,00O,000 bushels
are necessary for home consumption
"a decrease in the yield of the three
leading Grain crops of the United
States from the year before of thou
sand million bushels, or fifteen pei
cent, is considered by authorities in
wheat, -four and bread to be a most
unusual incident in agriculture. These
conditions, coupled with continued ex,
portation of millions Of bushels OF
these crops from the United States,
undoubtedly mean high prices. Just
how high prices may go in the latter
part of this year, 1916, and in the
first, second and third quarters Of the
year 1917, is a question for grave con
Sideration."

nearly four days in the wilderness of

health.
The Dennisons were discovered in
an abandoned logging camp on the

ton Of country near the Maine border,
and ten miles from the hotel from
which they had set out Wednesday at
ternoon for a stroll.
In seeking to return they had lost
their bearings in the almost trackless
in quest of habitation. Not mil F
day did they find shelter in an old
lumber shack, where they remained
too tired to walk any longer, and not
knowing which way to turn. Mrs.
Dennisons feet were so painfully
swollen that it is doubtful whether
she could have continued much far
Their.
Discovery of the missing lawyer and
his wife was made by Earl Gould and
Scott Copp, employe sof the hotel,
who had Joined with scores of other
persons in the hunt AS a result of
their successful efforts they are en-

Conflicting Duties.
OOiiIICII11J IUIiHS,
most difficult thing in life seems

The most difficult thing in life seems
to me to recognize which is the higher
of two conflicting duties, and those to
whom 1t is easiest must have, think,
not only the most happiness, but genius.
If goodness were always quite simple,
what could be more delightful than to
be good always? 1t IS, however, sad
thing. when the understanding and the
affections are at variance. when one
has to stop and consider which Of two
courses is morally incumbent on one,
and without always finding solution.
1t is sad. because it shakes ones faith
In that which ought to be the surest
of guides-namely. in ones own con-
science. And let one choose what he
will, it leaves in his mind Il sting, some
thing to regret.-Paul Heyse.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio,
is the only Constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and

Crocodile Teare-
OFoCodIIe ears.
he expression crocodile tears" can

The expression crocodile tears can
be found in almost every European
language. but ii IS d~u',rul if one in
Il thousand Of these who use it has
an idea of its origin. We are told in
the Bestiary of Guillaume lie Clerc that
when the cro-r"i," finds an unwary
traveller it devOurs him, but afterward
weeps over him all the rest of its life
This is very evidently the allusion in
''Othello," Each drop she falls would
prove crocodile
There is another version of the fable
however, which IS more often referred
to in literature aud according to which
the crocodile sheds tears in order to
allure the Traveller to destruction.
Shakespeare alludes to this in the pas
sage where lie tells how

The earliest mention in literature of
cradles is in the Biblical account Of
Moses little ark of bulrushes. But
there are in the British museum some
clay tablets found some years ago on
the site of ancient Ninevch which, ac-
cording to archaeologists. make it
quite clear that somewhere about
1000 years before the Christian era
there was another infant hero exposed
in little ark of bulruShes. Thus the
cradle that was found by Pharaoh'S
daughter 400 r. c. was comparatively
modern.
1t is certain that cradles were first
used as a means of protecting babies
from the attacks of wild animals by
suspending them from the boughs of

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-With the
back of his head beaten in, evidently
with a rock or an iron bar, and ms
face battered so that the features are
almost unrecogniZable, the body OF an
unidentified man was found lew fee'
of Essington road, Ridley township
near Crum creek, Delaware county.
The body was that of man about
thirty-seven years old, weighing about
ITO pounds. He had blue eyes, dark
hair, prominent nose, and had tnree
horizontal scars, about two lncnes
long, on his chest, separated from each
other by about half an inch. There
is no clew to the slayefs.
That robbery was the motive for the
murder is indicated by the fact thai
all of the mans pockets were tune
inside out Some trifies, which mac
been in his pockets, were found cen
cealed under stone nearby by Coro
ner Charles H. Drewes, who began tt
make an investigation OF the crime
Even the mans shoes and stockings
were removed, as if his slayers has
expected to find some money conceal
ed between his bare soles and his
socks.
The body was found by John Rosus
q ten-year-old Italian boy, who was OF
his way to get the family's milk. Turn
ing aside from Essington road, the DO!
took q short cut through some unde'
brush, as had been his custom, wher
he came upon the body, half-concealet
in the bushes. The mans ieet were
crossed and one arm was doubled un
der his back. Screaming with fright
the boy ran to his home and informet
his father, who notified the authorities
The body was removed to the estab
lishment of Coroner Drewes in Darby
It is the opinion Of Coroner Drewe:
that the man was struck from behind
and then while he was unconscious
was beaten on the head and face unit
he was killed. There is a fracture OF
the skull at the base of the brain, tn
nose is broken, and there are a dozel
ugly decorations and bruises on tn
face. Not thing that would indicat
the mans identity was found on tn
body.
It is thought the man was employees
on farm nearby, and that he was de
coyed to the lonely spot where hi
body was found by two or three chanc
companions, who killed him in orde
to rob him. Since the munition plant
have begun operations at Eddyston'
many thugs have been attracted to tn
scene, and many workmen have beef
robbed, after being badly beaten.
It is thought that the assailant
learned that their intended victim O
the latest crime carried money witt
aim, and that they followed him.
