SPIRITS ALMOST IIUMAIIiUSE SLAIIG Such Allegations Made in Contest of Will by Disinherited Young Wife. FORMERLY STENOGRAPHER.

" ME88AQGC8 " INTRODUCED IN COURT TO SHOW WEALTHY PAPER MANUFACTURER'S PRESENT WHEREABOUTS. New York, Sept. 29. A score or more of communications from the spirits that , It is alleged, influenced the lste Robert E. Thomson, the millionaire paper manufacturer, to cut off without a cent his young and pretty wife, who waa formerly his stenographer, were read In the Surrogate's Court, Brooklyn, In the suit of young Mrs. Thompson to break her aged husband's will, which bequeathed his entire fortune to $2,000,000 to his two sons, J. Linton Thompson and Robert H. Thompson, and to his granddaughter, whom he adopted as his daughter, Mrs. Marion A. Funk. The spirit communications to Mr. Thompson, all received and described by young Mrs. Funk, occasioned much amusement In Court. One was written In the glib slang of the day, say Ing: "Well Kid, because I am the youngest here they make me the last one." Another evidently received at home, said: "Bob, you old villan. how are you over there, anyhow? You know my life old man. It was not a success. Well, I chased the little Mella away, anyhow." Mrs. Funk admitted that she had never seen a spirit. The Surrogate admitted a question by Attorney Sparks, calculated to determine whether Mr. Funk's Aunt Kate was In heaven or hell when she sent her messages. "I don't know where she was," snld the witness. "I regard it as very strange," put in the Surrogate, "that you cannot tell whether the spirit was in heaven or hell if the communication really took place." Mrs. Thompson, the widow, took the stand and testified to having found all the spirit messages In the drawer of her husband's desk. She remembered having been present when many of them were received prior to her marriage on February 14, 1910. TOMB GAMBLING DEI1 Bradford, Pa.. Sept. 29. That the tomb of Daniel Kingsbury, one of the first settlers of Bradford, is being desecrated by being used as a gambling den is the startling information which has reached the city police department. Kingsbury was one of the original owners of the 250,000 acres of land where Bradford now stands, and at his request a burial plot was laid out on Quintuple Hill, a site from which a person may gaze over the entire city and valley. Within a short time vandals have broken open the vault and have used the lnclosure as a gambling den. . . j i. k."jctJ. NorlMiU'i-t.niillrr tolls uie he hiis i preat niltul to write n book.

PUZZLED Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise Children. Children's taste Is ofttlmes more accurate, In selecting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurately through the children. A Brooklyn lady says: 'V)ur little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never persuade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal food. He was a weak little chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on. "One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts. Well, you never saw a child eat with such a relish, and it did me good to see him. From that day on it seemed as though we could almost see him grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for bveakfast and supper, and I think he would have liked the food for dinner. "The difference in his appearance is something wonderful. "My husband had never fancied cereal foods of any kind, but he became very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been luuch improved in health since using It "We are now a healthy family and naturally believe In Grape-Nuts. A friend has two children who were formerly afflicted with rickets. I was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishment They showed It So I urged her to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the result was almost magical. "They continued the food and today both children are well and strong as any children in this city, and, of course, my friend Is a firm believer in Orape-Nuts for she has the evidence before ber eyes every day."

At Local Theaters

Grahame Stock Co. Mr. Ferdinand Grahame, the proprietor and leading man of the permanent stock which begins an indefinite engagement at the Gennett next Monday night, is quickly "spotted" in every city wherein he and his company locate. This easy Identification Is caused by the fact that Mr. Grahame Is accompanied, wherever he goes, by a handsome dog of the St. Bernard species, answering to the name of "Sport." When asked, as he frequently la, why he bothers with such a huge animal on his travels about the country. Mr. Grahame invariably replies, "it is the dog that's bothered, he knows more than I do," and when pressed for an explanation, Grahame smiles and says: "I'll prove It to you. My dog can see in the dark; I can't. He always knows each night when the show is over without leaving the dressing-room; I have to be told, and. strongest proof of all, my dog understands what I say to him, while I cannot understand what he tries to say to me." And as a clincher to his argument, Mr. Grahame advises all scoffers to read Senator Vest's "Tribute to a Dog" or Jack London's "Call of the Wild." Incidentally "Sport" is quite an actor In his own right, playing the part of "Duke, Joes Friend." In the Wednesday and Thursday night productions next week of " 'Ostler Joe." Imperial Stock Co. Tingling with romance and action "For His Sister's Honor" will be presented at the Gennett theater tonight. According to the advance sale this production will prove one of the most popular put on by the Imperial Stock company at the Gennett this week. This play Is a love story of the west in the days when the army wa3 called into action frequently marking the introduction of law and order backed by statutes rather than the will of the better element of communities. The story trends from the wronging of a cow puncher's sister by the comman dant of the post in Arizona the de nunciation and the hounding of the cow man for several years of his life. James K. Dunselth, leading man, in the part of Jack Maiden, cowman, is especially equipped to act this part as he spent several years of his life on western ranges and is thoroughly familiar with details of plain life. Miss Lucy Neil,' leading lady, as the Eastern girl who goes west and falls in love with the rugged man of the "long stretches and plenty of sky," Is especially winsome in ber part. Plenty of comedy sparkles through out the play making a pleasant en semble of entertainment. Matinees will be given every afternoon. The box offlcd opens at 10 o'clock each morning. At tha Murray. The Colonials introduce some exceptional music on the French hornviola, cornet and other musical instruments and the setting of the act carries out the idea implied in the name.

For rapidity of composition the prlz' among novoilsts must be awarded to Alexandre Dum::. who died with over 3.000 books to his credit, in all of which he had nome sbnre. According to Mr. Arthur F. Davidson, one of his blog rnpher. he often declared that when once he bad ncipped out In his mind the scheme of a novel or a play the work was practically accomplished, since the mere writing of It presented no difficulty and could be performed as fast as the pen could travel. Some one disputed this: the result was a wager. Dumas bad In his bend the plan of the "Chevalier de la Maison Rouge," of which he had not yet written a word, and he made a bet of 100 louls that be would write the first volume of the novel In seventy-two hours. The volume was to be formed by seventyAre larse foolcap popes, each pajre containing forty-fire lines and each line fifty letters. In sixty-six hours Duma hnd dne the work in his fair, flowing hand, disfigured by no erasions and the bet was won with six hours to spare. London Chronicle. Danced In Court. An unusual scene wns once witnessed in a French law court, the civil tribunal at Nantes. The proprietor of a local theater bad engaged a young lady dancer, whose performances at rehearsals did not come up to his expectations. He therefore would not let her appear, and the fair dancer took action against him for breach of contract. The defendant alleged that she had not even learned the first steps of ber art. and. here being a plain Issue, the judge determined to decide for himself. A space was accordingly forthwith cleared on the floor of the court, and la these unusual surroundings the young lady duly went through her steps and pirouetting. In the result the judge felt Justified In certifying that she was quite an expert dancer and decided the case in her favor. Henceforth she advertised herself as the only dancer in the country with a legal certificate of proficiency. London Tlt-Brta,

TIGHTS UNDER BAN

Billposters Association Only Permits Sights to Be Seen in Theaters. WONDERFUL CHANGE MADE. Cincinnati. Sept. 29. "Tights have been practically banished from the bill board and every picture woman has to wear ordinary clothes this year," said Clarence E. Runey, secretary of the Poster Printers' association of the United States and Canada. The arrival of the ratings of 3,600 6hows and acts on the road at Mr. Runey's office puts the bureau in complete working shape. It has already been censuring salacious sketches presented to it for printing. "The change in the bill board which has taken place this fall Is wonderful," declared Mr. Runey. "The burlesque houses have thrown out the bold posters they were formerly noted for and the extreme today is far cleaner than what used to be moderate. Take for Instance the Monte Carlo Girls, who are using only photographs this year, and the Moulin Rogue Girls. The Girl in Pink posts only its name, not a single picture. The combination of the billposters and bill printers last spring to force out sensational pictures has caused the change, but at the same time the burlesque managers like it, for they are doing more business than ever before. 50 OF THE POPULATION OF THE U. S. live in rural districts remote from physicians or drug stores, and they are obliged to depend upon proprietary medicines to a very great extent. To the women in these homes such standard remedies as Lxtfia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound come as a boon and a blessing. Records show that it has cured more women of those dred feminine ills than any other remedy. - - w 1'oetn hav ulwuys loved dofrs. I this poets and Ih.vs rcseml.ie each ot. er.

The fascinating leading lady of the Bijou, now more fascinating than ever, astonished all her friends on Broadway the other day by presenting- to their admiring gaze a svelt and willowy form In place of the plunp. not to say fat. outlines with which she gaily sailed away to new triumphs and foreign shores last January. After a good deal of diplomatic cross-examination from interested fat acquaintances the secret was cautiously whispered to a few dear friends, with the result that everybody knows It now. It was not exercise, nor fasting, nor sea air. nor worry about her new venture that had brought about this wonderful willowy change in the charming Margaret: no. none of these: nothing but a simple mixture which all good druggists are familiar with and can supply at small cost, to-wit: One-half ounce Marmola. one-halt ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and three and one-half ounces Peppermint Water. "Grown folks need a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime." explained the now slender Margaret. "It is simply wonderful. It takes off the fat quickly, as much as a pound a day. and keeps it off. You can eat what you like. too. In that respect it Is unlike anything of the kind I ever heard of. and besides It has another splendid feature it is entirely harm less, and will not cause wrinkles. I think it Is about as essential a toilet article for the woman who Is fat and wants to get thinner as face powder. In order to get the best results, however, you should buy the Marmola In the original package and mix it in with the other two ingredients after you get home.?

VICTIM OF INSTINCT uuu isiiauici io uciciiucu uy Professor Who Says He Loves With all His Force. PREY OF MME. CAVALIERI. St. Paul, Sept. 29. Declaring that extravagant acions of "Bob" Chanler to prove his love for Lina Cavalieri to be nothing more than an expression of the animal instinct that cannot be controlled. Norman Wilde, profes sor of philisophy and psychology at the University of Minnesota, defends Chanler and says he is not to be blamed. "Love is an instinct, just as appetite for food it," says Mr. Wilde. "It has the same range of strength. For instance, some men will satisfy their hunger by a small, well prepared steak. Other men with large appetites will sit down at a table and eat an enormous steak that has been prepared by a careless cook and is burned in some places, raw in others and covered with ashes, and cinders. Their appetites do not fail them owing to the revolting appearance or preparation of the food. Red Hair In Turkey.

110 DnIIGERJIi TEST Food Commissioner Barnard Believes Tubercular Test Might Be Safely Tried.

IT MIGHT PROVE NOTHING Indianapolis, Sept. 29. In the opinion of H. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, any man who may elect to subject himself to a bovine tubercular test, as has been suggested for some man in the state prison, on the assumption that be might receive his liberty if he survived, would have an excellent chance of coming from the test unharmed. "Even if Buch a test were made." said Mr. Barnard, "it would only prove one thing that that particular man either did or did not contract tuberculosis from that particular test. In order to make it effective, however, the man would have to be pronounced entirely free from the disease when the test was begun, and be kept in an airtight cage and supplied with air for respiration from tanks in which the air was officially pronounced free from tuberculosis germs. And even then he might take countless millions of tuberculosis germs into his body and not contract the disease, just as any one who uses the streets or street cars, or breathes the dust laden air of almost any public building, takes in millions of the germs, and because the body has jKjwer for resistance does not fall a victim to the disease. "In my opinion, the dangers of tuberculosis from bovine sources are greatly overrated. A dairy cow may have tuberculosis, even of the lungs, but as long as the udder is not directly affected, there is no danger of the germs being given off in the milk. Even the meat of such a tubercular animal might be eaten without serious results. Thousands of tubercular animals are killed annually under federal i supervision, and sold for dressed meat and the consumers do not suffer materially thereby. TIME GOES MERRILY ON.

American investments in Canada during that period, however, aggregate nearly four times as much as those of all other foreign countries combined, according to a report by Consul General Ragsdale at Halifax.
