AGED PERSONS ARE MARRIED
Romance That Began Nearly Half a
Century Ago Is Happily
Ended.

Cleveland, GA romance which
had it's birth q half century ago in
the public schools of Niles, but which
was broken by a lovers quarrel, cul-
minated Monday night at eight o'clock
at the parsonage of Rev. T. Alfred
Fleming at No. 9S15 Pratt avenue,
when Mrs. Emma Davis of No. 1920
Massie avenue and David Armstrong
of No. 10521 Brentwood avenue were
married.
Mrs. Armstrong is fifty-eight years
old, her husband is siXty-two.
Armstrong and his bride were play
mates in Niles so years ago. Almost
constant association brought their two
hearts together, and as years passed
plans were made for their marriage,
Armstrong was then twenty-one.
Then came the lovers quarrel-a
trivial disagreement-and the twain
drifted apart. Armstrong married; SC
did his first love, and then nearly AZ
years passed away.
Death left them single again, anC
fate drew them together. Both settled
in Cleveland scarcely a Thousand
yards apart. Their love dream o.
youth was resumed. And they begaI
counting anew! The aged "newl!

DOCTORS ADMIT LAY WISDOM
High Priests of Medicine No Longer
Regard Patients Diagnosis as Mere
superintendent and Teeth
at Bottom Of Trouble.

New York.-Recent experiments, in
vestigations, and experimental treat
ment in the domains of medicine and
surgery have led to a solution of many
of the hitherto puzzling problems of
medical science. Physicians are be-
ginning to realize that many general
constitutional disturbances which baf-
fled their skill are still due to small
local fOci of infection. When these
are removed their patients soon re-
cover, sometimes, indeed, with aston
ishing rapidity.
How recent the realization of the
real solution of these medical mys-
teries is may be judged from the fol-
lowing editorial comment in the New
York Medical Journal:
For many years it was thought
that we were well acquainted with bac-
terra and their vagaries, but recently
we have discovered that there remains
much to be learned. OF the various
activities of bacteria the most interest
ing at present is that of the so-called
focal infection. BY this is meant q
small, more or less quiescent point of
disease, which, although it causes no
local disturbance, gives rise to symp-
toms elsewhere in the body.
Most Important Manifestation.
Probably the most important of
these manifestations is the involve
ment of the various joints of the body.
If we pick up our textbooks to read
about arthritis, the chances are that

FIND A SNAKE IN BANANAS
Attacked by Whole Office Force, Ser
pent Is cornered and Commits
Suicide.

Tacoma, Wash.-A well behaved,
beautifully-colored, five-foot Porto Ri
can snake, species unknown, which
had Struggled his way some 5000 miles
in q bunch Of bananas from his tropic
home, arrived in Tacoma.
Bill Hall, driver for Hammond Il
Co, packed a bunch Of bananas to the
scales. After weighing them he saw
something that looked like a peculiar
leaf in the top of the bunch. Bill stuck
his finger down and the leaf turned
into a big, red, hungry mouth. Bill let
out II yell that sounded like a steam
boat whistle and ran.
The whole office force, armed with
various weapons, advanced to the at
tack and the snake dropped on the floor
and headed for the wharf. When sur
rounded he coiled and was ready for
battle.
Seeing his chance for escape cut off
the snake plunged his fangs into his
own body, gave a final wriggle and
turned over stone dead.

we shall be much discouraged, not
only by the u%nfavorable prognosis,
but also by u inability to determine
the cause.
"Since the work of Rosenow and
others, however, We are fast realizing
that a small collection of bacteria may
be responsible for the joint condition,
and we are also discovering the fact
that the only way to accomplish much
good is to attack the primary focus.
"At present the capable physician is
no longer content to give antipyrethics
in expectation of a marvellous cure. If
n patient now gives n history of chronic
and painful joints, the first thought of
his physician should be focal infec-
ton. To determine the presence or
absence of such a condition is not al
ways an easy task, and outside aid,
particularly the Roentgen ray, will
have to be called upon.
Tonsils and Teeth.
"The tonsils may be diseased, or,
what is very common, there may be in
lection at the roots of the teeth. This
last is a frequent condition and may
be present without local indications.
1t is also interesting TO note that
many intlammatory conditions of the
eye are directly referable to dental
infections. This has long been recog-
nized by the laity, but the idea was
considered to be mere superstition by
the medical high priests.
after removal of the focal infec-
ton the patients rapid recovery, in
many instances, is little short of mar
velous. In most cases no further treat
ment seems to be necessary, the joints
cease to be painful, and the GONZALES
cent goes on his way rejoicing,
THAT bacteria in the foci cause the
distant lesion has been proved SO
many times that there can now be nc
isolated organisms, when injected into
experimental animals, show a special
affinity for tissues similar to those in.
volved in the original instance. A joint
will be attacked, an eye become in
volved, even the appendix will sue
cumb, according to the affinity shown
in the first case.
THE more thoroughly the matter Is
investigated, the clearer it becomes
that focal infection seems to explain
satisfactorily certain of the hitherto
unsolved problems of medicine"

OLD MINE WON AT CARDS
Thirty Years Later Claim Shows Pros
poets of Producing a Large
Fortune.

Helena, Mont.-One wintry night
some thirty years ago a group of men
sat about a card table in Helena. 1t
was late when one man showed in his
last "white"-and lost. Demanding
one more try, he offered a mining
claim. Not a gambler in the house
would give the desperate stranger so
much as a chip for his claim-none
but "Swede Sam" Wallin. The miner
lost. The land which became Wallin's
as a result of the night at cards lay in
the Blossburg mining district, neal
Helena. AS the years of three decades
passed, it's dirt remained unnoticed.
Lately Wallin's claim may have
grown to be worth 100000. A pros
pector struck a rich vein of ore in
the Blossburg district, running into
Wallin's claim.

2S7 feet into the air; its greatest diameter is 1876 feet
has a diameter of 100 feet making it almost as large a IS that of the capitol;
but ofhand, one would certainly say that it is a much smaller dome. This is
due to its shape. The library dome is an Italian renaissance type and is a

AS far a ornamentauon goes, this dome is the most exquisite in the

The National museum possesses a dome neither huge or extremely
ornate; yet it is n o. the most pleasing domes to the architectural eye
that is found in the city. 1t recalls the dome of the Pantheon at Rome; in
the matter of contour they are quite similar.
