death Of Mr.. Custis, his heirs insist
ed on bringings suit to recover the

ants, Mr. and Mrs. Redmond, and the
Appellate Court supports this action

NO ROMANCE IN HIS SOUL
Man Who Could Destroy Little Wifes Illusions as He Did, Didn't De-
 serve to Have One.

"John," she asked, nesting up to him, for It was the third anniversary of their marriage what was the hap piest moment in your life?''
 "Ah, desr," he replied. q remember It well. I shall never forget 1t. If I lived to be one hundred years old that moment would always stand out as plainly as 1t does tonight"
 She sighed and nestled little clos CT, looking longingly up into his honest blue eyes. After moments silence. she urged: "Yes, but. John, dearest, you haven't told me when it was"
 "Oh," he answered. .I thought you had guessed It. It was when you came to ne in the autumn, if you re-. member, and told me that you had de- cided to trim up one of your old hats se as tO make 1t do for the winter.
 Then the celebration of the third an-. niversary of their marriage became ex- ceedngly uninteresting and formal.- Milwaukee Journal.

MEANING OF JACOBITE TOAST
Glasses Raised to "the Little Gentle man in Velvet" Had Peculiar
 Significance Centuries Ago.

gro the little gentleman in velvet" was a favorite Jacobite toast in the reign of Queen Anne. By "the little gentleman in velvet" the Jaepbites meant the mole that raised the hum mock against which the horse of King William III Civilian of Orange) stumbled while riding in Hampton court. The king was thrown heavily to the ground, breaking his collar bone. A severe illness ensued under which the kings feeble constitution gave way. and he died early in the year TOP. He left no children and the crown passed to Anne. a sister of Will liams deceased wife, Queen Mary, and a daughter of the deposed king. James II. It was the plan of the Jacobites to bring back to the throne James the Pretender, a son, it was claimed, of James II by his second wife, Mary of Modena. The execution of their plans WAS not attempted until the house of Hanover came to the throne. The at tempt of the Pretender James in 1T15 was a miserable failure. but the at tempt of his son. Prince Charlie, in 1745. was q more formidable affair He collected q considerable force in Scot land. invaded England and reached Derby before compelled to retreat. He was finally defeated at Gulloden.

Soup Eatinu Lost Art.

Owing to the high cost of fngredi- ents soup eating may become lost art America today holds the medal for spectacular and mssieal soup eat ing. There is no nation so accom- plished in the art of eating soup audi bly, as ours. No race of people extant can eat soup and keep up a steady con versation (without stopping it on it's shirt bosom) as successfully as the American. A foreign writer once re- marked that he dearly loved to hear an American eat soup. Some nations drink their broth and bouillon in si- lenee or sop it up noiselessly with bread, thus robbing the process of all it's interest. But America blows it's broth cool, then musieally sucks it from the spoon, allowing it to hit the base of the empty stomach with the chug of q pile driver. The way some of us strain soup through our mus taehes is decidedly artistic. But. like many of the lost arts of our aborigines, the doom of soup eating is in sight Cartoons Magazine.

adobe architecture is distinctly a part of the environment. and more genuine y artistic than anything of the sort We have produced in the United States. The narrow unpaved streets, the mud walls, the unexpected plazas with their statues. are all adapted to the life that is lived in them, and have the beauty that comes from usefulness and serene innocence of the desire to copy something else. But in Juarez the streets need cleaning, the walls need clustering and the general im- pression is one of unkemptness and carelessness.
 It could easily be improved, for there are many beautiful things in Juarez. There Is church that was old when the Alleghenies bounded the American colonies. There Is a great plaza that could be transformed into a noble park. But Juarez Is rather proud of her bad reputation. She prefers to swagger a little and talk about the bull ring, the race track and the Black Cat saloon. There was a time when the proceeds of this latter institution are said to have paid the costs of keep ing the armies of Francisco Villa in the field.

NOTED VISITOR FROM SERBIA

Among the distinguished foreign visitors in Washington is one who de serves more attention than he received on his arrival in the United States. This is Milenko Yesnitch. head of the Serbian war mission to America, his sovereign's envoy in France, and next to old Premier PaShiteh, far and away the most able statesman of Serbia. He has represented his country at most of the international congresses which have taken place during the past ten years, enjoys an altogether European reputation and is particularly we'll qualified to voice the views, the aspi- rations and the requirements of his nation.
 MlIenko yesnitch may be said to have shared the ups and downs of the nation to whieh he belongs.

The inventor of the fundamental principle of the microphone on the modern telephone Is said to have been the Abbe Rouselot, a French phoneti- elan. born at Saint Cloud (Charente) in 1S46. He became vicar and cur ate at Cognac and JarreZac, then as- sistant professor of French philology at the Catholic institute of Paris, and two years later he opened the first course of experimental phoneties ever established. In 1897 he was appointed director of the laboratory of expert mental phoneties at the College de France. the plan for which originated with him.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that are ex- tensively advertised. all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason IS plain--the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer This applies mora particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation. that has real curative value almost sehs itself. as like an endless chain system the remedy IS recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says, "Take for example Dr. Kllmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend. for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that know of has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact that, so many people claim, 1t fulfls al- most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments. correets ur- mary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y.. and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Escaping from Ireland doubly dis guised more than year ago. and since then putting the case of the Sim Feiners before hundreds of American audiences.
