HAS HIS MEMORY TRAINED
Filbert FIam Hereby Makes Public a
System Which He Claims to
Be lnfaIIible.

There is a cure for absent-minded-
ness, or almost so, and Filbert Flam
has found it, according to the New
York Sun. He doesn't talk much
about it, but if you mention the mat
ter to him he will confide it to you.
Filbert and Filipo were leaving the
office together when Filbert suddenly
stopped in the hallway. Filipo was
hungry and in a hurry, and Filberts
lack of haste annoyed him.
Hasten" replied Filipo.

moment in silence. Then a smile
broke over his face; he returned to
the office for moment and came back
with the box of candy which he had
purchased for Mrs. Flam.
''It is infallible," said Filbert.
"What?" asked Filipo
"It," Hilbert repeated, "the system.
l used to be very absent-minded,

MARINES WOUND TWO MEN
Tramps Attempt to Board Mail Car in
Yards at Depere and Are Shot
Down When They Refuse to
Halt-One Escapes.

Depere, Nov. 22.-One man was shot
and seriously wounded by a United
States marine, acting as guard on a
mail train, as a Northwestern road
train was headed for Milwaukee. The
shooting, the first to be reported in
connection with trains running in and
out of this city since Postmaster Gen
eral Hays adopted the policy of
placing armed marines aboard trains
to protect the United States mail,
took place on the outskirts OF the rail-
road yards at Depere. A train, head
ed for Milwaukee, stopped in the De-
pere yards to take on water. Two ma
rine guards were in charge of the
mail car. Two men, said by the pO-
lice Of Depere to be trampS, ap-
preached the train, with the intention,
1t is asserted. of riding to Milwaukee.
The men, according to the statement
to the police of the one who was
wounded seriously, intended to secure
place on the bumpers of the bag
gage car. Mistaking the mail car for
a baggage car, the men ran to the
trucks, and attempted to climb on.
The marines in charge shouted to
them to get away, and when they did
not retreat, they opened fire. One of
the men, giving the name as Otto
Lambert, according to the Depere po-
lice, was hit four times, twice in the
left wrist, once In the right arm, and
once in The chest, the latter bullet
passing within a few inches of his
heart. The second man was also hit,
but it was stated that the bullet which
struck him crashed against watch
he carried, and prevented him from
being seriously injured. If the watch
had not stopped the bullet, he would
have been struck in the abdomen. The
second man escaped, and his name
could not be learned from his compan-
ion. The wounded man was removed
to a hospital at Green Bay for at
tentiOn by surgeons. Twenty marines
reported for duty in Milwaukee Mon
day. Twelve of these men will be
stationed in the federal building, and
eight will be used as guards on mail
trucks, at railroad stations and in the
transportation of mail OF Substations.
The men will be armed with sawed
off shOtguns, it was announced

Human Stature UNCHANGED.

The stories of the pygmies go with
the fables of the giants The men of
ancient times were of the same, or
nearly the same, height as those of
the present day. The doors of an
Gent houses, ancient armor, the Egyp-
ton mummies, as we'll as the fossil
bones of men, prove that there has
been little or no variation.
Among famous tall men was the
Roman Emperor MaXimin. whose stat
ure was seven and three-quarter feet
Maximfn was a young barbarian, the
son of a Gothic father, who first at
tracted the attention of the Romans
by overcoming sixteen of the strong
est men, one after another. in a
wrestling match, and, having been
made a centurion, he fought and in
trigued his way to the imperial
throne
The normal stature of men and
women ranges between five feet and
six feet four inches

Australian Naturally Indignant When
His Claim to Authorship Became
Matter of Dispute.

him. "The Book of Job?'' said I. Il

it in the Bible" "Gimme one, and
show me where" said the caller. |
pointed out the Book of Job, and
my new customer took the Bible out.
He returned it on the third day.
"When was that Writ" said he. / ex-
planned that it was about 1900 years
since it was first put upon the mar
ket. ST s'pose an old chap name of
Job up at the Slip couldn't have writ
it?' I didn't think it at all likely. Il
always told the misses Job was liar
said the new customer He went
away, but about a week later | re-
ceived a letter from the Slip. 1t as
sured me that Horis Job, Twin there,

said he'd do it again if any city blOke

Proof That Mere Than Spiritual Con-
ISOLATION Is Contained in the
pages of Scripture.

If you want 20 keep we'll and avoid
doctors bills, study your Bible. That
would seem to be the moral drawn
from the remarks of Sir James Can't
lie, famous English surgeon, who
pointed out that medicine rests on
the law of Moses.
There is not one page of the Bible
which does not teach us some hygienic
fact" he said.
For instance, the wrong use of milk
is the cause of indigestion and bad
teeth. Moses laid down the salutary
law that milk should not be drunk I'M
til at least two hours after eating fish,
three after chicken, and four after
meat, but this is disregarded and milk
is drunk at meals. No careful Jewish
mother gives milk to her child when
meat is served.
Sir James points out how the dan
gers of plaques carried by rats was
learned from the Bible When he was
a doctor at Hongkong there was a bu-
bonic plague and he and others
searched the encyclopedia for infor-
nation. Then a clergyman came to
him and asked him to read the fourth,
fifth and sixth chapters of the Book
of Samuel, where five models of swell
ings and three golden images of rats
were described as being offered to the
God of Israel.
That's the cause of your plague,
these rats" said the clergyman, and
on that basis the medical authorities
went to work.-Pittsburgh Gazette
Times.

M0LIERE UNHAPPY IN LIFE
Great French Playwright and Coined
ian Seems to Have Had the Usual
Fate of Genius.

Armande Bejart, beautiful, witty
and quick tempered. an actress of rare
ability and charm, was the wife OF
MOliere, the leading comedian of his
time, and one of the greatest in the
worlds history. Under twenty, when
she married the playwright, then a
man of forty, given to. spells of mood
mess and abstraction and endowed
with all the eccentricities of genius,
1t would, as one biographer has said,
be little short of miracle had the
marriage been happy one.
Attracted by her beauty, the play
wright. once married, did little to
show his love. His interest in his
work kept him away from his young
bride a large part of the time, and
the old story of the neglected wife
was the result. Armande loved adj
miration, and when she did not get it
from her husband, she fiirted, harm
lessly to be sure, but sufficiently to
arouse his fierce jealousy.
The pair quarreled constantly, even
bringing Cnolr QlSaSTeoHeHlS DeIoIe
Louis XIV, with whom they were
favorites. When their first son was
born Louis acted as godfather. In
spite Of their stormy life, they were
passionately attached to each other,
and Moliere wrote many of his plays
to provide Armande with suitable
roles They were married only IL
years when he died.
