SEVENTY YEAR OLD MAN
GETS ENTIRE NEW FACE
For AZ Years Unable to Close Eyes
Sight Me- Ruined by
Alaskan Lights

Alaskan Lights
Port Angeles, Wash.-John Watson
20 years old, who has travelled all ov.
or the world and who for forty-seven
years could not close his eyes because
he was without eyelids, has had his
face remodeled. The new face, which
is his third one, includes perfect
set of eyelids and changes his appear
ance to such an extent that his old
friends here did not recognize him
when he landed for visit this week
Watson has been around the WORLD
twice and has tried the life of pion
eer in the widest parts OF the North
American continent Most of his ad
ventures took place during the forty
seven years between the disfiguration
of his face by an accident and the
coming into the possession of a for
tune he inherited some time ago.
During this time he was known as
the man who couldn't close his eyes.
At the age of 20 years at his home
in Indianola, Iowa, the explosion of a
can of aspha1tum varnish tore away
much of the flesh of his face and des-
troyed his eyelids, altho his sight was
not injured. With a badly disfigur-
ed face he started out in the world
and blazed trails thru Montana, the
Northwest and Alaska.
Sleep was almost impossible for
him. "At first my sleep was limited
to brief, fretful periods" he said, "but
as time went on / would drop into
slumber staring straight ahead in the
darkness. l could see things in the
dark probably more clearly than any
one else could"
In the far north the summers with
practically no darkness, almost ruin
ed his vision, and he returned to Seat
tie. He was without means and for
years drifted around the country
Some time ago rich relative left him
a fortune. Watson went to a Phila
delphia surgeon, who removed pieces
of skin from various parts of his body
and grated them upon his face, re
storing it to a nearly normal appear
ance. At the same time the surgeon,
from other pieces of skin skillfully
fashioned him a new set OF eyelids,
the artificiality of which can hardly
be detected.

FIRING MANS FOOT
PROVES POOR JOKE
Supreme Tribunal Frowns on Bartend-
er's Fun with Customer.

CT VII Wilt SuolofUCIs
st. Paul, Minn-The official frown
of the Supreme Court was placed on
the didoes or cut-ups of the old style
played in saloons such as setting
fire to papers under a sleepy patrons
chair and playing jokes unsuspecting
patrons when such caprices work an
injury.
When bartender plays trick on a
guest and injury results the saloon
keeper can be sued for damages, ac-
cording to an opinion of the court.
The case originated at Rainier. James
Brennan owned a saloon. He had
given bond to keep a quiet and or
derby place. The American Surety
Company stood sponsor for the bond.
William Tracy was a bartender.
According to complaint filed by John
Lynch, formerly foreman OF gang OF
men on the Canadian Northern Rail.
way, he was in the saloon keeping
quiet on Sunday, June 4, 1911. Lynch
alleged that while he was sitting In
the place, Tracy, the bartender. pour
ed alcohol on his foot and set fire to
it, with the result that Lynch was in
jured and laid up for some time. He
started suit for $4,000
The defendants in the action, the
saloonkeeper and the American Sure
ty Company demurred. Their corten
tions were overruled and the case was
appealed with the result that the Su-
preme Court affirmed the order of the
lower court and the case will go 20
trial.
The case hinged mostly on the
meaning of quiet and orderly"
The syllabus follows:
1. Under Chapter 246, Laws 1905,
G. S. 1913, Section 3117, both the
principal and surety on saloon keep
ers bond are liable for any damage
proximately caused by any act which
is a violation of the conditions of the
bond.
2. Where the person in charge of 4
saloon pours alcohol upon a guest and
then sets fire to him there is VIC
lation of the condition of the bond
that the licensee will keep a quiet and
orderly house.
3. 1t is not necessary to violation
of this condition that the licensee
shall be guilty of the statutory crime
of keeping a disorderly house. That
crime involves habitual or repeated
acts of disorder, not necessary to a
breach of the bond.
4. The six-year limitation of actions
applies to cause of action on such a
bond.
Order affirmed.
The opinion was written by Justice
Hallam.

opened il in the presence OF the land
lady, who had kept It for him, the
porter, who had thrown It into-the rub
bish heap, and the clerk, who had
stumbled and fell over it before it
was stored away. The eyes of the
witnesses opened wide when they saw
that the old grip was full of currency,
the contents totaling more than S1O,-

turned to the man who had accompa-
MED him and said:
"Now I'll pay you the rest CT that
farm before lose 1t again"
Rippey lives at Ellis. He was TO
close the deal for farm the at ernoon
he took the grip with him. The own
er wanted the price in cash. refusing
to take check. So Rippey feariRg
robbery, put the money in the worst
worn grip he had, threw il into the
back end of the car and left town.
When he reached the farco the grip
and $4,000 was missing He imme-
diately retraced the route, but the
grip was gone.
Instead of reporting the matter to
the police Rippey remained Silent, be-
lieving he would have better chance
to recover his money. He made no in
quiiies.
The grip was found by a farmer,
who took it to the hotel to await the
call of its owner. It lay in corner
of the little office three days and
nights-then was put in the store
room, and when that place became
crowded was thrown into an unused
closet, where ii lay until Rippey call
ed for it,
Meanwhile Rippey met the farmer
who found the grip and was told of it
He drove to the hotel, and describing
the old suit case, asked if it still was
there. The porter remembered it and
the Ellis man soon was in possession
of the price of the farm ne had bought.
Rippey gave Mrs. w. o. Wilson, the
landlady, IS as storage charges on the
small fortune.

STAYS GRAY WOLF WITH CLUB
Animal Becomes Entaneied In Woven
Wire Fence.

Winston, Mo--"A gun! My kingdom
for a gum" was the earnest wish of
Robert Calhoun of near this place, a
few days ago, when he saw large
gray wolf running across a pasture
and quite near him.
While Calhoun was regretting that
he was unarmed, he saw the animal
make spring to clear the fence. And
then the strange thing happened. In
stead of jumping the fence the wolf
landed across it and became entan-
gled in the woven wire. AS it vainly
struggled to extricate itself, Calhoun
siezed a club from the roadway, rush
ed upon the animal and soon dispatch
ed Il.

HOW THIN PEOPLE
CAN PUT ON FLESH

Thin men and women-that big,
hearty, filling dinner you ate last
night What became of all the fat
producing nourishment 1t contained?
You haven't gained in weight one
ounce. That food passed from your
body like unburned coal through an
open crate. The material was there,
but your food doesn't work and stick,
and the plain truth is you hardly get
enough nourishment from your meals
to pay for the cost Of cooking This
is true of thin folks the world over.
Your nutritive organs, your functions
of assimilation, are probably sadly out
of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Cut out everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one of those single Sargol
tablet. In two weeks note the differ
ence Let the scales be the Judge
Five to eight good solid pounds OF
healthy, "stay-there' fat may be the
net result Sargol aims to charge
weak, stagnant blood with millions of
fresh new red blood corpuscles--to

terial in your food to every part of
your body. Sargol, too, mixes with
your food, to prepare 1t for the blood
in an easily assimilated form Thin
people tell how they have gained all
the way from 10 to rs pounds a month
while taking Sargol and say that the
new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets
are careful combination of six of the
best assimilative elements known to
chemistry. They come 40 tablets to
a package, are pleasant. harmless and
inexpensive, and Glenn Thistlethwaites
stores and all other good druggists
in this vicinity sell them subject to
an absolute guarantee of weight in
