Just what passed between them is no known, as the meeting was only by chance, and none of the three present will say anything- about it. But It is said that Fletcher left the office with the determination of filing some kind of charges in the matter. Whittaker left for Jeffersonvllle in the evening. Later at night the governor's office was notified of the suicide of . young . Fletcher, Superintendent Whittaker being the informant.

IN THE HORNING

Try a Charcoal Lozenger and a Glass Of Water if Your Breath Is Foul And Your Mouth Tastes Bad. Immediately upon arising in the morning, should you have a bad breath and a disagreeable taste in your mouth; try a charcoal lozenger. Simply chew the lozenger up as you would so much candy and drink a glass of water, washing it down into the stomach in this manner. The effect is almost magical. The mouth becomes sweet and the breath pure and fragrant in a very short time. After a few days you will notice

that your stomach is digesting food much better. All traces of gases and sour stomach will disappear, and the perfect assimilation promoted by a healthy stomach will build up strength and muscle, and your bad breath and coated tongue will be a thing of the past. Give Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges a trial, results are assured, and positively no bad effects can arise from the use of charcoal. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made of young willow wood charcoal and pure, fresh honey, taken direct from the bee hive. You may eat all you want, give them to every member of the family. They will cleanse and purify the stomach and keep it clean and sweet. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are good for everybody at any time. Try them. For sale everywhere, 25 cents

per box. Sample box will be sent free by mail upon request. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 200 Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich.

Whtn he comes to a final Stop den de punishment will likewise end." " 'Land sabes, Mars Jack, I knowed It was all up wid me den. for dat Ignorant old nigger never did know when it was Utie to get up off'n his knees! De fac' dat a po hurra n belli' was In distress wasn't gwine to make a bit uv different wld him. Well, sir. It was jes' like I 'suspected it'd be. Dey brought me out, and old Jake, de old rillun, started in, and as fast as he prayed de warden come down on me wid a whip dat cut like a knife. I never did want to hear a pra'r come to an end so bad In my life, but It weren't any use. Erery time I thought he was mos through old Jake took a fresh hold, and down come de licks harder'n ever. Shorely it seemed to me like he prayed a month, and. Mars Jack, I wants to tell you right now dat I am sot against long pra'rs for de rest nv my life." Washington Post
