Snuft as Medicine, “Oh, yes,” sald the tobacconlst, as he tapped a jar filled with a cinnamon col ored powder, “I sell an ounce or two of snuff occasionally—to the old, as a rule. The young will seldom look af snuff. And those who do use it im- pute medicinal virtues to it. Thus old fashioned watchmakers, gem cutters and tailors think that a pinch of snuft now and then improves the eyesight They think it refreshes and fortifies weary eyes as a cup of tea refreshes and fortifies a weary braln. Others think snuff cures a cold. Others take it for the headache. Others still be lleve that it wards off contagion. Per sonally I belleve that snuff taking fs less harmful than smoking. Its effect too, is pleasanter than the effect of smoking—it is a most soothing and fascinating effect once you get used tc it—but the habit 1s untidy and there fore it can get no hold upon us in this gesthetic age.”—Los Angeles Times. ‘Waves of Water. Waves are deceptive things. To look at them one would gather the impres- slou that the whole water traveled. This, however, is not so. The water stays in the same place, but the mo- tion goes on. In great storms waves are sometimes forty feet high, and their crests travel fifty miles an hour. The base of a wave (the distance from valley to valley) is usually considered a8 being fifteen times the height of the wave. Therefore a ‘wave twenty- five feet high would have a base ex- tending 375 feet. The force of waves breaking on the shore is seventeen tons to the square inch. He Picked Them. An English commercial traveler vis- iting a large Glasgow warehouse made a bet with the manager that he could plck out all the married men among the employees. Accordingly he stationed himself at the door as they came back from dinner and mentioned all those whom he believed to be married, and in almost every case he was right. “How do you do {t?” asked the man- uger in amazement. “Oh, it's quite simple,” said the traveler, “quite simple. The married men all wipe their feet on the mat; the unmarried ones don't.”—Glasgow Times. Whisky and Typhoid. It may be Interesting for you to know that habitual whisky drinkers never recover when once attacked with typhoid fever or pneumonia. The whisky makes the system unfit to withstand the ravages of the disease, and death is always the result. Emi- nent physiclans all over the world have noted and studled this fact.—H V. Conden in Nashville Tennesseean. TRY THIS FOR ANY KIDNEY TROUBLE Worst Cases Relieved by Home Mix- ture Which Anyone Can Prepare at Small Cost. Here is a perscription that any- one can mix at home. Any good prescription pharmacy can supply the ingredients named at little cost; being composed of vegetable ex- tracts, it is harmless and inex- pensive. Best of all it does its work well, relieving even the worst forms of bladder trouble, frequent utina- tion, backache, kidney complaint, and by its direct action upon the eliminative tissue of the kidneys, makes these most vital organs rid the blood and system of ~waste matter and uric acid which causes rheumatism. " Here it is; try it if you suffer. Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one onuce; Compound Syrup Sarsaprilla, three ounces.

ORGANIE 10 FIGHT New York Tenement Dwellers Op- pose Increased Rents, WANT REDUCTION INSTEAD Declare Rates Were Increased to the Limit During the Prosperous Times of the Last Few Years and That a Decrease Is Imperative. New York, Dec. 2 .—The movement to protest against a possible increase in rents in the Lower Hast Side ap- pears to be gathering force as the first of the year approaches. Plans already have been made for a great mass meeting of tenants to ‘be held in Clinton hall next Tuesday evening. At that time the occupants of tene- ments in the district will be urged not only to refuse to accept any advance in the present rent rate but to insist on reductions ranging as high as 30 per cent. It is contended that rents were increased to the limit which tenants could stand during the pros- perous times of the past. few years and that with the changed conditions a decrease is absclutely necessary. On the other hand, the landlords take the stand that they can find tenants| to fill their houses at the higher rate. A large number of tenement houses have been torn down as a result of recent improvements, including the terminal for the new Manhattan bridge across the East river and the land- lords declare that the demand for | cheap apartments is unequal to the sunply. The landlords declare that if rents are not paid promptly the first of the coming month the tenants will be dispossessed. DIES OF HIS WOUNDS. Minnesota Constable Shot While Serv: ing War rant. Minneapolis, Dec. 2 .—Donald J. Me. Call, the Shakopee (Minn.) constable who was shot.on Christmas eve near Prior Lake and was brought to this city, is dead in St. Barnabas hospital. Thomas Nee of Prior Lake is under arrest at Shakopee. McCall had two wounds, said to have been inflicted by Nee. One bul- let entered McCail's side below the ribs, while the other pierced his stom- ach. According to the Prior Lake au- thorities McCall went to Nee’s home to serve a warrant charging Nee with entering a hardware store and steal- Ing $50 worth of goods. As the con- stable came to Nee's door the latter 1s said to have fired twice, both bul- lets taking effect. Although weakened by the wounds McCall pluckily held his ground and got his prisoner. Nee was later turned over to Sheriff Wagner of Shakopee. MAIL POUCH LOOTED. Empty Sack Found in Eox Car at Mad- ison, Wis. Madison, Wis., Dec. 2 —A mail pouch with about 1,000 letters con- taining holiday presents of money, jewelry, money orders, checks, etc., was stolen at Merrilan Junction be- tween the hours of 8 and 11 o'clock on the evening of Dec. 24. The empty pouch was discovered in a box car at, Madison by two boys. The case is puzzling the local police and the post- office department. The mail was made up at Winona for the Green Bay and Western train and besides containing the mail from Winona had all that was picked up on the route going north. The pouch was’ transferred at Merrilan Junction for the Northwestern road to go to Elroy. It is believed that the pouch was stolen from the truck and that the thief then jumped on a freight train going to Madison, rifling the mail en route. GIVEN LIGHT SENTENCES.

HEARD BY THE COURT. Motion to Dismiss Case Against John R. Walsh. Chicago, Dec. 2 —In the trial of John R. Walsh, former president of the Chicago Natlonal bank, Judge An- derson heard arguments on a motion by counsel for Walsh to take the case from'’ the jury on the ground thet the government had failed to prove any -| losses'as a result of the transactions of Walsh and also that no criminal in- tent had been shown. During the arguments Judge Ander- son said that the evidence tended to show that the defendant had attempt- ed to serve two masters. He declared that every time a memorandum note was entered on the books of the bank it was a fictitious note and a false entry. “Even if these transactions had gone along without criticism from the bank examiner,” said Judge Anderson, “no bank examiner has the right to sanction violation of the law. Had the examiner done his duty the condi- tlons prevailing in the Chicago Na- tional bank would not have gone as far as they did. The charter should have been revoked long before.” LOSS ON STOCKS HEAVY. Block of Buildinas at San Francisco Destroyed.

The factory of Man- gum & Otter, dealers in tiles and mantels, was destroyed, with the stock. Wooden & Little, implement dealers, lost building and stock and so did the Eccles-Smith company and Justian, Caire & Co., both hardware concerns. Quick work of the firemen saved a large section of the factory district, which at one time was threat- ened. DYNAMITE IN HIS -\POCKET Boy Is Jarred and Explosion Occurs Witk Fatal Result.
