Old Doctor Jones Evidently Was Sat
isfied That He Could Read His
Own Writing.

Old Doctor Jones, who once prac-
ticed medicine in New Jersey town.
was known everywhere as notorious
ly bad speller. He slipped up on the
simplest words, and people wondered
how he managed to write prescrip-
tons, especially in medical Latin, so
that they could be read and under
stood. Though the DOC" as he was
called, could not spell, he was, never
theless, accounted a good physician
and his patients swore by him. He
sent his prescriptions regularly to a
certain druggist In the town because
this man was the only druggist who
could read them. How the druggist
succeeded in doing it was a mystery
to every one.
Everything went well for long
time, then one day the druggist was
taken i'll and died. His funeral was
largely attended and Doctor Jones
was one of the principal mourners.
What will become of doc" now?
Who will he get to read his prescrip-
tons? were questions on every ones
lips. 1t was pretty generally agreed
that the future looked black for the
physician, but this man who spelled
rheumatism ''rumatiz" was not to be
discouraged. The day after the obse
quies of the druggist the following
announcement, printed in long-hand,
appeared in the window of the phar-
macy: "Dr. Jones has bought this
drug store. He will continue the bis
ness and fill prescripshons hisself."

Carolina Verderosa, a seventeen-year.
old girl, and her husband, Lutiano
Verderosa, Williamsburgh contrac-
tor, were held without bail.
The arrests were made within few
hours Of the time when the body Of
the stepmother, Mrs. Catherine Trotta,
was found in Cooper's pond, in the
Greenpoint section Of Brooklyn, with
rope frightened about the neck.
Had Been Missing Month.
Mrs. Trotta had been missing since
she left her home in Brooklyn some
weeks ago to do some marketing and
to attend to some matters connected
with the settlement of her husbands
estate. When she did not return a
son-in-law reported her disappearance
to the police and search was started.
The police learned that Mrs. Trotta
had gone from her home to the North
Side Savings bank in Williamsburgh,
where she drew out $500. From there
she went to a pawnbroker's to take
out Of pawn some jewelry valued at
81 900, which had belonged to her hus-
band. 1t was her intention, it is be-
lieved, to sell the jewelry and divide
the proceeds among those who were
to share in her husbands estate.
Garrote Leads to Arrest.
Mrs. Trotta, it was found, had the
jewelry with her when she went to
meat market to make purchase.
Soon after that she was reported as
entering the Verderosa home in Will
liamsburgh.
When Mrs. Trotta's body was found
in Cooper's pond the police discarded
the theory of robbery. Her handbag,

M. Nelson of Philadelphia, during the
full period of the lease, resulted in
decision by Judge Repetto, in Allan

Barrett must pay the sum of $500 as
a fair rental for the room.
Discovery Of the strange abode Of
the owner Of the house did not occur
until several months after the lease
had been executed and possession
taken by the tenant. Mrs. Barrett had
built a room adjoining the porch and
access to it was made by a, secret
stairway. The room was entirely shut
off from the rest Of the house.
Attempts to dispossess the owner
failed and finally suit was instituted
for rental. Mrs. Nelson rented the
premises for the sum of $500.

Tars Tarkas and a party Of Mar

prisoner, to a Marian city. Three
days later a fleet of airships from

different from the green Martians

wall Of DRAGONS Of Pekln.

The dragon screen of Pekin is hid
den behind hillock in the winter pal
ace grounds. 1t is wall perhaps
20 feet high and 100 long, faced
completely with tile cast to represent
nine large-size dragons in bas relief.
Of various colors- yellow, purple, buff,
maroon, orange dancing gayly above
emerald pillows against a pale blue
sky. Most sculptured Chinese dragons
are lifeless, angular beasts; but here
there is an almost un-Chinese vigor
and audacity in the spring and twist
OF the 1.-THE bodies. They leap, whirl,
lunge, and writhe until the spectator
steps back, half afraid that they will
come tumbling of the screen, striking
at the unwary with their sturdy claws
There are, believe, critics who teach
that plastic art should never under
take to portray moments of activity.
If this be correct, the dragons stand
condemned; but If the sculptor may
ever rightly give Us life In Its vivid,
moving moments, here Is a master

"Let me try
your tobacco"

Only an unlucky man asks you that.
He is either out of tobacco or he isn't
satisfied with the tobacco he has
picked for himself.
Tosmoke a pipe tobacco that doesn't
suit you to 7 is to feel a little irri-
tated every time you light up.
Where you should be taking your
comfort, you feel sore over something
missing.
No one is so patient as a pipe
smoker. He will smoke one kind of
tobacco that doesn't quite satisfy him
until the cows come home, or until
some trouble crowds him so that he
notices how little comfort he is actual
ly getting from his little old pipe.
But he hasn't been happy-dimly
he has realized it all the time.
And when he asks someone else for
pipeful and finally comes upon the
smoking tobacco that is just his-oh
me, oh my, but he's happy man!
He now gets out of his smoking
what others get-the solid comfort
that takes the sting out of the alarm
clock mornings and helps his nerves to
relax at the end of a hard day.
