Stuttering and Speech Troubles Cured.
For nearly twenty years I was one of the worst stammerers that you can Imagine. It vis so distressing to me that I would at times become despondent and avoided my friends. My speech is so perfect now that no one would have the slightest suspicion that I ever stammered a word. I brought about this change and perfected the cure myself. I have cured many .stammerers. Some have come to me for help with. all the agonies of the terrible affliction stamped on their faces. I have changed their lives from Badness to happiness. I have given them confidence. I have made them useful. I have increased many salaries. I have done this by perfecting cures. Where ever I travel I meet persons I have cured, who always express .their gratitude for the perfect speech I restored to them. If you are unfortunately afflicted with the malady, let me advise you what to do for the trouble. No matter how mild, how severe or how long standing your case may be you can be cured, and I will gladly advise you what to do for it.
AIT stammerers go through spells of embarrassment and are at times perhaps put to shame by the affliction. I am glad to meet stammerers who can appreciate a genuine cure, and who are ambitious. If possible, come to see roe. If unable to call, write me a letter, state your age and describe your speech trouble and I will write you giving you practical advice FREE. I stand ready to place my service at the disposal of any speech sufferer and the fullest consideration will be given to every letter, no matter how Insignificant the request may be. I have Just written, published and received from the press and binder a few days ago a book on the treatment of stammering. As it contains so much valuable Information for stammerers, I entitled it "Advice to Stammerers.'! The book gives in detail the secret story of my personal life as a stammerer and an outline of the methods by which I cured myself which should be of invaluable benefit to any stammerer.

LIGHT ON THE OLD LEGEND.
the others, wanted to know of. Mr, Kern if he had any vices.
"Yes." he admitted rather sheepishly. "Smoking, I suppose," suggested the correspondent. "Yes, I smoke, but I don't consider that a vice." "Then what? Surely not drinking?" "No, indeed," answered Mr. Kern. "Well, what can it be?" the correspondent finally asked. "A vicious vice known as the vicepresidency," was Mr. Kern's answer, and that was enough for the interviewer. Marshall Is Next. The taking of Harry Brunaugh, former secretary of Mayor Bookwalter, to the penitentiary, Monday, to serve his term for the paving frauds for which he was convicted, closes the first chapter in the city paving scandals. ,The next to be tried will be Henry V. Marshall, president of the Western Construction company, which concern held the contract that gave Brunaugh the chance to fleece -the citv. Mar.
snail's indictment charges practically the same as the indictment on which Brunaugh was tried, and there is much speculation as to whether he will come out of the case whole. Despite the array of legal talent that was brought into use in an effort to save Brunaugh, he was convicted in 16 minutes and as the evidence against Marshall is considered by the prosecution to be quite as strong as that again6t Brunaugh, the state looks for conviction.
On of the Many Mysterious Disappearances From Fort San Cristobal Accounted For by the Revelation of the Loit On Himself. Writing In the Journal of the Military Service Institution, Captain Arthur P. S. Hyde of the coast artillery tells this curious story of "the haunted sentry box" of Fort San Cristobal, the ancient Spanish built fortress which guards the entrance to San Juan, Porto Rico: "A number of picturesque sentry boxes built of masonry and appearing like minarets are placed at points of vantage In and around the fort One of these on the sea front, and reached only through a long and dark tunnel from the Interior of the fort. Is popularly known as La Garlta del Diablo, or the devil's sentry box, usually, although Incorrectly, translated the haunted sentry box. This name was given to It by the Spanish soldiers for the reason that a number of sentries stationed there disappeared in a most mysterious manner and were , never again heard from. "An American officer was once on duty that took him into the remote interior of the island, and while spending one night in a small settlement he engaged in conversation with a number of the Inhabitants of the place. One old man, on learning that the officer was stationed at Fort San Cristobal, became especially Interested and In the course of the conversation told the following story: " 'I used to be a soldier in the Spanish army and was stationed at Fort San Cristobal. A number of soldiers while on sentry duty had mysteriously disappeared from the sentry box down by the sea, and we had all become convinced that it was haunted by the devil, who, we thought, used to come and steal the soldiers away. "'One storr&y night it fell to my lot. to go on duty In the devil's sentry box, as we called It, at midnight, and it was with some doubts and misgivings that I went with the corporal of the guard and relieved the former sentry. When they left me I listened to the sound of their footfalls reverberating from the walls and celling f the dark and narrow passage, ever growing fainter and fainter as they receded, until finally the noise of the storm and the sea completely drowned it, and I was left alone with the mad elements. "'It was a mad night and one well calculated to add to the feeling of awe that the devil's sentry box always instilled Into the man on duty there at night. "'Presently my attention was attract t"l by some lights In a small tavern on the shore below the fort, where many of us were wont to go when off duty for a glass of rum. Then I began to think that I might be able to climb down over the rocks' to the shore, get a glass of rum at the tavern and return to my post " The more I thought of it the more determined I was to go, so finally, leaving my rifle and belt in the sentry box, I climbed over the wall and down on to the rocks and so made my way with great labor and difficulty and no little danger to the little house, where the occupants were making merry with dancing and drinking. I soon fell to and enjoyed myself with them. " 'When one is dancing with a fair senorlta he sometimes forgets the passage of time, as I did on that fatal night and not until long after 1 o'clock did I begin to think of returning to my post Then, realizing that the corporal had made, his inspection and had found me gone from my post and with my rifle and belt left behind. I saw only a court martial and the garrote staring me in the face, for in those days for a sentinel in the Spanish army to quit his post meant sure death, even in peace. "To go back was out of the question. There was only one thing left for me to do, and that was to desert My heart sank within me. If I should be captured, the same fate would be meted out to me; but, I reasoned, if I
were to go back the fate would be a certainty, whereas if I deserted at least I had a chance of keeping out of sight of the authorities. I deserted and before morning was out of the city and on the way to the mountains. '"I have lived In this 'little hamlet for years and have never been back to the capital since that day. nor have I ever told my story to a single soul until tonight but now that the Spaniards are gone I no longer fear for my life.' "Thus we have the story of the devD's sentry box from one of the very men who so mysteriously disappeared from it and it would seem to be probable that the other disappearances could be accounted for in a similar manner were the truth known. Quien Baber Captain Hyde mentions an Interesting fact that although for centuries Porto Rico was considered the legitimate prey of freebooters and was attacked at various times by regularly organ! ted expeditions of th English and the Dutch during times of war, with more or less success, Fort El Morro has never been captured by an enemy, and its only surrender was to the Americans, together with the surrender of the whole island.

JUST THINK OF IT! The finest footwear that money will buy, all this season's goods in the newest styles and latest patterns, at the price of common, every-day shoes! One of the results of the late "panic" was to create a LARGER demand for low-priced shoes and a SMALLER demand for high priced shoes, this season. Hence, we have a SHORTAGE of $3.00 oxfords and a SURPLUS of $5.00 Oxfords. In accordance with our policy to always keep our stock fresh and up to date, we have decided to sell our High Grade Oxfords at the Low Grade Price rather than take chances on carrying some of them over another season. You will soon need another pair of Oxfords, if you don't right now. Maybe you thought you "would just buy a cheap pair for the rest of the season." If so, we don't think you will object to taking a $5.00 pair at as low or lower a price than you expected to pay for a cheap pair. THESE PRICES ARE LESS THAN THE COST OF MANUFACTURE OF MANY OF THE OXFORDS. THE SPECIAL SALE WILL POSITIVELY LAST BUT FOUR DAYS, CLOSING NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT.

Longest Will on Record. What is called the longest will on record Is that of Captain Robert Keayne, founder of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston. It contains about 50,000 words. Printed and bound, it wotrid make a good slaed volume, comparing favorably in length with many a novel of the present day. In its voluminous proportions this will Is In striking contrast to one probated In New Orleans a number of years ago, in which the testator disposed of Its earthly possessions in five words namely, "Mistress Roper is my heiress." The original of Captain Keayne's will Is carefully preserved in the vaults of the register of probate of Suffolk county. In volume 1 of the record of wills probated It covers 140 pages, and It is recited In the will that the document was drawn up in the handwriting of the testator. While Captain Keayne, who was originally a merchant tailor In London, left a fortune of fair proportions for his day, it is of Interest to note that at the present day fortunes of millions of dollars are frequently disposed of ia complicated trusts by only a few hundred words.

H Was Able to Correct a Language He Did Not Understand. When Max Muller was preparing bis edition of the Rigveda be had, so the itory goes, an Illustration of the Instinctive wisdom of the compositor, in providing the manuscript for about 3,000 sheets of print the author naturally tripped from time to time. Whenever he did trip, there on his ?roof was the error queried in a careful hand. Surely, be thought, some mknown scholar in the university must be overlooking his proofs with kindly interest and making the corrections for him. Inquiry showed that this was not the fact. The corrections were the corrections of the man who get up the type. "Did this man, then, know Sanskrit?" Muller asked. Not a bit of it. Use and wont enabled him to detect the errors as a hungry child scents a cooking dinner. The discoviry originated through his arm rather than from any intellectual doubt, and that arm was palsied! This printer bad sustained an acclflent, leaving him with an arm partly paralyzed, and as this made him slower with his setting his masters turned him on to Sanskrit, with which he had had no previous acquaintance. He had to learn upward of 300, types for the work, but he learned them and accustomed himself to the work. Now, many of the letters in Sanskrit cannot follow each other or, if they do, must be modified. In writing Muller sometimes forgot these modifications, but they were all marked on the proof. Muller was so interested that he sought out the printer to ask him how he was able to correct a language which he did not understand. The explanatlon was remarkable: "You see. sir. my arm gets into a regular swing from one compartment of types to another, and there are movements that never occur. So if I suddenly have to take up types which entail a new movement I feel it and put a query." What a dog's life the "nu speling. or Art em us Ward's, which is the same thing, would have caused that marvelous human machine! St. James' Ga-tette.
