Baron Suicides For Love of Her

CAPTAIN MAKES REPORT

SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF WORK THE ARMY HA3 DONE IN RICH MOND PA8T MONTH MAKE AP PEAL TO CHARITY. Warning aaglnst giving money to persons claiming to be soliciting in the Interests of the Salvation Army, unless they possess the proper eredentials, has been issued by Captain Deuter, the new officer who has charge of the local post of the Salvation Army. There has been several cases reported where the alleged solicitors were merely grafters and not working in the Interests of the Salvation Army. Those who have been authorized to solicit funds for the Salvation Army can show the proper credentials Bigned by Captain Deuter. Have Done Good Work. Since Captain and Mrs. Deuter took charge of the local corps a month ago, they have continued the good work of Captain Lewis and his wife, who were transferred to Elkhart The report of the present officers for the past month Is very Interesting. Seventy-eight hours were spent by the two in home visitation. One hundred and fifty-one homes were visited. The total time during the month spent in the care of the sick is 32 hours. Sixteen families were provided with clothing, food and fuel. In respect to the services of the organization, the report shows 33 indoor meetings attended by 1016 persons, 46 open air meetings and 11 conversions. Captain Deuter and his wife are now preparing for the winter's work. They would be pleased to receive clothing, fuel, food and the like, which they may distribute to the worthy poor. The local corps, coming in close touch with the poor as it does, is thoroughly acquainted as to the persons who deserve assistance. THE MOSLEM BIBLE. law the Karaa, Aecorslaa? te Trmdltl.a. Was CIvea to Mas. In Arabic the word "Koran" meana "that which ought to be read." The Korea is divided into 144 chapters called suras, a word meaning really "row," "order." "series." In manuscripts these Chapters are not numbered, but boar titles, sometimes derived from the subject matter, but usually from the first important work. Some chapters have two er mere names because of differences In the .manuscripts followed. Bach chapter is divided into smaller portions, called verses by nonMoslems, but In Arabic known as "ayat," signs or wonders. The entire book again is divided into sixty equal portions, called "ahzab," each subdivided into four equal parts, or into thirty parts called "ajza," each consisting of two "ahsab," and again divided Into four. All the chapters except the ninth begin with the btsmlllah, "In the name of the most merciful God." Twepty-nlne begin with certain letters of the alphabet, which are believed to be the peculiar marks of the Koran and to conceal several profound mysteries, the understanding of which, the more intelligent confess, has not been communicated to any mortal, their prophet only excepted. According to Moslem tradition, the Archangel Gabriel paid 24,000 visits to earth while revealing to Mohammed the wishes of the Creator. Some few chapters were delivered entire, but the greater part was revealed piecemeal and written down at the prophet's dictation by Zald, his secretary. The first revelation, it is generally agreed, contained the first five verses of the ninety-sixth sura. After the passages bad been written down they were published to the prophet's followers, several of whom took copies, while most learned them by heart, and the originals were then placed in a chest in no particular order. For this reason it Is uncertain when many of the passages were revealed. Abu Bekr, Mohammed's first successor, collected the originals, which were on palm leaves and skins, and had copies made by Zaid from the dictation of those who had committed the passages to memory. He further placed the suras In the order still followed, putting the longest at the head of the list without regard to historical sequence. Some time later Osman had the Koran copied in the Quralsh dialect and suppressed the versions made by Abu Bekr. Chicago News. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Eternal gratitude is eternal slavery. No man knows enough to entitle him to conceit. If you wish no man to suspect your secret, don't have one. When some people work they make so much fass you are sorry they started. It Is a sign a sick man Is getting better when he begins to worry about his doctor bill. ; They are about even If you are a boy. It Is the wood box; If you are a girl. It Is the dishes. Every thief admits at the end of his life that he would have prospered better as an honest man. Of what use are friends? In prosperity a man has no use for them; in adversity they have no use for him. Atchiaou Globo. : Our Gasoline or Alcohol Iron does sot heat your hand. Costs only 93.50. tones Hdw. Co.

Obeyed the Law. When Benjamin F. Butler lived in Lowell, Mass., be had a little black and tan dog, says the Saturday Evening Post. One morning' as be was coming down the street, followed by the dog, a policeman stopped him and told him that. In accordance with an ordinance just passed, he must muzzle the dog. "Very well," said Butler. Next morning he came alone - with the dog, and the policeman again told him of the muzzling ordinance and requested him to muzzle his dog. A POLICEMAN STOPPED HIM. "AH right," snorted Butler. "It is a fool ordinance, but I'll muzzle him. Let me pass." Next morning the policeman was on the lookout. "I beg your pardon, gen eral, be said, "but I must arrest you. Your dog Is not muzsled." "Not muzzled!" shouted Butler. "Not muzzled! Well, look, at him." The policeman looked more carefully at the dog and found a the policeman tiny toy muzzle looked more tied to its tall. cahefulxt. "General," he expostulated, "this dog Is not properly muzzled." "Tea, be is, sir," asserted Butler "yes, he Is. I have examined that Idiotic statute, and I find it says that every dog must wear a muzzle. It doesn't say where the dog shall wear the muzzle, and I choose to decorate the tall of my dog Instead of the head with this infernal contraption." 8ucoees. Success is the hand trained to do Its work. The eye that sees that the lines run true. The ear that hears when the truth you shirk. The brain that conceives old truths anew. Success is the strife with the heart aglow. The effort we make for our fellow man, The pride that laushs at the outer show. The soul that fulfills Its highest plan. E. H. Ellsworth In New York Independent. ' A Dull Scholar. A negro boy was up for the fifth time on charges of chicken stealing. This time the magistrate decided to appeal to the boy's father. "Now, see here, Abe." said he to the darky, "this boy of yours has been up In court so many times for stealing chickens that I'm tired of seeing blm here." "Ah don't blame yo', sab." returned the father. "Ah's tired of seein' him here too." "Then why don't you teach him how to act? Show him the right way. and be won't be coming here."

A pretty, highborn English girl engaged herself to a yeung tradesman and never wavered la her determination to marry him despite the gloomy forecasts of her friends, who predicted lifelong misery for ber. "My child, do be advised." urged one of these well meaning ladies, calling to see the radiant bride on the very eve of the wedding. "I am an older woman than you and have seen more of the world, and it always makes me sad to bear of a nice girl marrying beneath her station. It is social suicide." "Then from a social standpoint consider me dead." smiled the light hearted girl, "for I shall certainly marry Tom tomorrow. We reckoned up the situation long ago and found a whole host of advantages, but not a solitary thing could we discover to place on the disadvantage side." . "Then you couldn't have searched very far, my dear," said her counselor Icily. "Take my own case. Much as 1 love you, I shall be unable to visit yon when you are married. Have you bargained for that?" The bride blushed. "Oh, yes. Indeed!" she answered has tily. "We put that down first of all."

Brings Suit Enjoin His Wife From Telepathic Mistreatment

Bloomington, 111., Sept 15. Will the courts of Illinois enjoin Mrs. Emily C. Payne from administering telepathic mistreatment to her former husband, Isaac Payne, many miles away, in the home for old soldiers at Milwaukee, Wis.? Payne declares that his former wife, who lives in Riverten, 111., has held him in her power for twenty years and has continually tortured him, giving him telepathic pinches and slaps and otherwise tormenting him by horrible facial grimaces. He avers that she signed an agreement ten years ago that he would cease her annoyances, but that she failed to keep her promises and has made his life a burden to him since. He now seeks a perpetual injunction in chancery to restrain her from practicing hypnotic art and exercising her supernatural powers over him. TO CATCH A RATTLER SIMPLY STOOP AND PICK HIM UP WITH YOUR HANDS. If the luk la Celled, Lay One Hand Over It the Other Under It, aaa It Will Not Move to Met Away. Soa Faeta Aboat the Reptile. Here are some facts about snakes given by a young man who has studied them since he wasten years old: The best way to catch a snake Is to simply stoop down and pick it up, as you would a toad or a turtle. Sometimes with a rattler it is as well to put a stick on bis head until you get your hand on Mm. If the snake la coiled, simply lay one hand over it and the other under tt, and the snake will not move to get away. There is a sorer cure for snake bite than any brand of whisky. It is strychnia sulphate, nitroglycerin and potassium permanganate, which may be carried In tablet form and must be dissolved in water and injected bypodermically. This young naturalist was without bis antidote the first time he was bitten by a rattler. It was on the Mo j are desert, and be was prowling around among some old prospect holes. Stooping down to pick up a piece of copper ore lying at the mouth of a hole, he disturbed a big rattler, and It struck him. He placed ligatures on his hand and arm and started for camp. At the first camp he got a razor and bled his finger as well as be could, but it was nine hours before he could get to his medicine. The next day his whole side was numb and stiff, and It was three weeks before he entirely recovered from the effects of the poison. He had not neglected, however, to catch the snake, and this became his special pet. The lesson he learned was that a quick movement in front of a rattler's eyes is a most dangerous proceeding and it will make a snake strike quicker than anything else. In handling strange rattlesnakes he is always a little careful and usually draws them into his hand over his coat sleeve. A caressing little pat on the head seems to have the same effect on snakes as on other animals. After putting a rattler on the floor of bis room and teasing it, to make it coil and strike, this snake trainer picked it up in his hand, patted its head and then pried open the big mouth with a nail to show its fangs, seven on each side, m different stages of development, from one like a pin point to one the site of a bird's claw. The large fang is likely to drop out at least once a year, but if injured it may be replaced three or four times a year. There Is abont the same danger from the bite of a nonvenomons snake a from the bite of a.dog er a cat. t

Payne says he has traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific to escape his wife, but her occult powers found him out wherever he went. He says he has freely consulted all the leading experts spiritualists, magnetic healers and all others claiming to be gifted with psychic powers, but none has been able to help him. Treatment by specialists for nerve trouble also failed to effect relief. His malady has been diagnosed as obsession, which, he says, means the possession of one's consciousness by some other personality. The agreement signed by Mrs. Payne not to molest her husband further is the only one on record in Illinois courts of the kind. Payne's suit Is the only one of its kind known to the courts of the state. Payne says he battles with the unseen power until he lapses into helpless delirium. may or may not e serious, .m ucpends upon whether a poisonous germ is transmitted and upon the condition of the blood of the person bitten. Baby rattlers are fitted from the beginning with fangs and sacs of poison and are ready for business, but they have only a little button on their tails where too rattles are to come later. In the matter of food snakes vary. They cannot be treated to cold scraps of all kinds. In fact, most of them are rather particular about having their food served alive. If they are very hungry they may take something freshly killed, but they vastly prefer to do their own killing. Gopher snakes live principally on rodents, with birds and occasionally birds eggs as delicacies. Rattlers also prefer rodents. Water snakes have a weakness for frogs. The corral snake, which la very common In the southwest. Is quite a general eater. He takes birds' eggs, lizards, horned toads, gophers, rats and frogs. He is a cannibal too. A corral snake was once seen' to devour a racer eighteen Inches longer than himself. He did not eat again for some time. Constricting snakes squeeze their victims until they can no longer resist Viperlne snakes strike and poison their prey. Water snakes start right In on a frog while it Is alive. A snake's teeth are fine and sharp and numerous. They look like fine fish bones, all curved backward. The under jawbone Is divided in the middle, and the food is worked In with an alternating movement of the lower jaw, aided by a forward and back movement of the upper jaw with its row of booked teeth. With such teeth it would seem quite Impossible for 'a snake to disgorge, yet mis young man made one give up a bird which had been partly swallowed and stuck fast by its beak having gene through the snake's body. A snake's digestive organs msy be siow, but they are very sure. Teeth, sklu, hair and every part of the prey is digested. The' bard, flinty teeth of a rat will be found. If the snake is dissected within a week, to be soft enough to crush in the fingers. Snakes only care to eat once in three or four months, though they drink much water. Through the winter they hibernate in ; captivity as when free. Occasionally they may be roused and will possibly eat something, but they are very sluggish. Constricting snakes have a powerful grip, but it can be loosened Instantly by unwinding from the head or tail. New York Herald. Alcohol For Veils.
