SKELETON IS F

Friend Ran Across the Bones Of Indianapolis Man on California Desert.

IDENTIFIED BY WATCH.

Indianapolis, Ind., April 10 The skeleton of Worth Merritt, formerly well-known Indianapolis business man has been found in the sands of the imnerial desert in Southern California

near the Mexican border by Robert McCann, one of his friends. Merritt disappeared from his ranch near San Diego nearly two years ago, and members of his family were unable to set any trace of him. It was feared that he had been murdered and robbed, as he had a considerable sum of money when he left home on a prospecting tour. McCann happened to run across the skeleton, and he identified it as that of Merritt by remnants of his clothing and his watch. Merritt was the son of George Merritt, who was in the woolen-mill business here for many years.

Undertakers Have Wild Orgie As a Windup to Their Sessions.

THEY MADE MERRY JESTS.

Omaha, Neb., April lo. A special from Sioux City says: "Dancing a wild orgy around the prostrate form of a naked cadaver, a party of high-spirited undertakers brought the twenty-eighth annual convention of the Iowa Funeral Directors' association to a close in the early morning hours with scenes of a wild-eyed revelry. A convivial Epirit, noticing a corpse which had been used in the demonstrations, proposed that the "stiff should take part in the festivities. In an instant various members of the crowd contributed portions of their raiment and soon the body was dressed, propped up on Trie platform, with a cigar jammed between his teeth and the revelers made merry jests as they circled around. As the merriment became more furious they tore the clothing from the lifeless body, laid it out on an improvised bier, strewed the "remains" with flowers and then danced in gay abandon about the platform.

PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF LAW Many Desire to Be Exempt From Tax Paying.

County Treasurer Myrick states that many people are taking advantage of tax exemption law. He says that there are still many more who will doubtless wish to take advantage of this and advises them that after the last day of April it will be too late to secure exemption.

EXPLOSIVES.

How They Are "Set Off" and How They May Be Handled. There are two ways In which an explosive may be set off by burning and by detonation. The burning process is progressive from one particle to another, as of fire in a grate, only infinitely more rapid. This process is adapted

to gunpowder, requiring, as it does, a Very short time for the burning up of the explosive body. The other form of

explosion, the detonative, being at once throughout the mass. Is unfitted

tor use in guns, which would be smashd to pieces, but is adapted to shat

tering or breaking purposes, such as blasting rocks in mining operations and bursting charges in shells, torpedoes

and submarine mines. Snbstance9 of the latter sort are termed high explosives. Some examples may be given of the safety with which the most dangerous explosives may ordinarily be bandied. For instance, a considerable Quantity of gun cotton, such as pur cotton treated with nitric acid, may be Bet afire and will burn quietly, but if a sufficient mass be set afire the heat and pressure on the surface of the burning body will cause the whole to be exploded. A torpedo filled with wet compressed gun cotton will not explode if a Rhell from a cannon should penetrate it and burst In the mass of gun cotton. Even nitroglycerin will burn like oil in small quantities, and a stick of nitroglycerin may be set on fire without danger of barm. St Nicholas.

A CHARMED KEY.

Its Refutal to Work and What Might Have Happened. You may be interested to hear of a thing which happened to me in Brittany last summer. I had to sign some railway transfers before the nearest British consul, who was at Brest. I locked up the papers and railway stock in a Breton cupboard as high as the ceiling and very solid. I kept the key in my pocket. When my cousin and I were ready to start, I took out the key, and it would not open its own cupboard. The servants came in turn and tried in vain. We had to miss our train to Quimper, which was our first stage to Brest. Now, our village locksmith was very rough and ready, so the next

morning I said I would try the key myself once more before he perhaps ruined my lock. The key fitted perfectly, the cupboard opened easily, we got the papers, and we went. But, Imagine, we found at the station placards posted up telling of the awful wreck of the Brest train the day before, and It was the train in which we should have been but for the obstinacy of the key. We saw the carriages all fallen into the river, and the dead and dying were In the hospital at Quimper. We feel this to be a preservation wrought from the next world that is so near.

Drinking Men Not Wanted

The above sign is now seen in many shops and offices in this city, because drinking men are unreliable. Competition is too keen and life is

too strenuous for an employer to keep

men on his payroll whose nerves are unsteady and whose brains are not clear. Every line of business is beginning

to close its doors to drinking men. Drunkenness is a disease and like most diseases, has its remedy. Orrine is the reliable treatment and is sold under a positive guarantee to effect a cure or your money will be refunded. Orrine is in two forms; No. 1 which can be used without the patient's knowledge in tea, coffee or food; and No. 2 for those who wish to be cured. The guarantee applies to both forms. Mailed in plain sealed package on receipt of $1.00. Write for free booklet, mailed in plain sealed envelope. The Orrine Co., Washington, D. C, or A. G. Luken & Co.

Another Kind of Guest. "Won't you please write in my guest book?" said a woman to the friends she had entertained at dinner. And she brought out the treasured volume, with Its record of hospitality. The names were inscribed. "Why, what's this?' said the modern Eve as the pages were fluttered before the book was returned to its owner. "There are lots and lots of name3

in the back and all in your handwriting too." The hostess laughed. "Do you want to know what these names are?" she asked. "Well, 1 suppose I might make a confession. They are names of guests, all right, but of another kind. It's the list of the servants I have had since my housekeeping experiences began." New York Press.

A Star Part. "I think I have a place for you," said the manager. "Yea?" said the fallen star. "Ya.

Why, man, when we played in 'Macbeth' I was called before the curtain" "I don't intend you to lead the supers. You ro to ,p thf efRzr."

Apply It to Your Life. Have you ever watched the exceedingly delicate and yet firm pressure of the hand of a skillful tuner? He will make the string produce a perfectly true note, vibrating in absolute accord

with his own never changing tuning i

fork. The practiced hand is at one with the accurate ear, and the pressure is brought to bear with most delicate adjustment to the resistance. The tension Is never exceeded, he never breaks a string, but he patiently strikes the note again and again till the tone Is true and the ear is satisfied, and then the muscles relax and the pressure ceases.

Barn urn's Ready Retort. Barnum once appeared at Oxford to lecture on "Humbug." The rowdy students would not give him a hearing. At length, in a momentary lull, he shouted. "Then you don't want to hear anything about humbug?" "We don't"' was the answer in a roar. "Well." retorted Barnum, "I've got your money, and there's no humbug about that!" The disturbance came to a sudden finish, and Barnum proceeded In peace.
