P^TSiiection had become obscured.
Recently the term of the con
i’ vict expired and he went to
Niles, Mich., his boyhood home
|| —or the home at least, of the
missing bank clerk and asserted
that he is George Kimmel. He
recognized several parties
whom the bank clerk had
known, and showed a knowledge
of landmarks and incidents con
f nected with the town’s history.
^"-sSome of the residents of the
tiiWttras when he was in prison,
p recognizing him as the man he
claims to be, others were uncer
tain as to his identity, while
others declared him an impos
ter.-The mother of the missing
George Kimmel denies that he is
her son, but some of his other
relatives are absolutely positive
as to his identity.
But in several of the features
_^connected with his attempt to
establish his identity as the
missing bank clerk he has failed
to make good. George Kimmel
was a Mason and was initiated
in Niles, and when questioned
upon this point he described the
corner of the room he occupied
and related several incidents
that occurred during that ex
perience. He also called the
A 1 _
names 01 persons wnu wcic
present and recognized several
when presented to them, calling
them by name, but he fails to
" ' respond to any of the Masonic
signs, and password. The “grip”
of the mystic order elicits no re
sponse from him. Then George
Kimmel’s mother says that her
souls—eyes were black. The
- claimant’s eyes are blue.
At present Kimmel, or who
ever he may be, is in Chicagc
under the care of an eminenl
specialist who will determine, iJ
possible, whether his patient ii
an imposter who has in som<
way obtained a knowledge o:

^..,and is trying to apply them t<
his own advantage or whethei
he is as he claims to be, witl
mind still affected by the beat
ing he received before he was
sent to the penitentiary.
In the meantime the peopl<
of Niles are about equally divid

- with the resemblance to Georg<
Kimmel, is truly George Kimme
^ or whether he is an imposter.

How to Avoid Therdf *■ ./.‘/I
a_
sickly looking man, entering*
prominent physician’s office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
;shake well and follow directions,’ and
resumed his seat.
“Such cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. “The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’9
Disease, smallpox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi
lion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep ilie bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre
juent intervals during the sickly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
tour times a week will do all of this, be
tides stimulating the digestion, improv
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
merry at the highest pitch.
Prickly Ar.U Bitters is known every
where ns s system tonic and bowel regu
lator. It not only removes all traces oi
aialarial poison from the system, but
ones up the vita! organs, gives nev

medicine for the family I ever used. During the

My husband asked me to try Cardul.
I felt better after the first bottle, and
now, I have a good appetite and sleep

FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN
Many a mother has learned of a
i way of avoiding sickness in her fam
ily, especially among the children, bj£
the use of a free sample bottle of the
; famous laxative, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctor s to
‘ send a free sample bottle has been re
; sponded to by thousands of women
' in all parts of America.
; Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
l truly wonderful laxative and espe
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
! it is mild and never gripes. It is all
that a child’s remedy should be,
’ though it is a good laxative for the
1 whole family because it is effective
. at all ages.' It is not dynamic like
' salts, pills and powerful cathartics,
; which should not be given to chil
dren under any circumstances.
Nine times out of ten when a child
complains and you don’t know ex
actly what is the matter with it, it
needs a laxative—its bowels are con
stipated. Syrup Pepsin will correct
the trouble, tone up the child and
soon it will be well again—wonder
ful results have been secured with
Syrup Pepsin over night.
You can buy it of any druggist at
fifty cents or a dollar a bottle, the
latter being the family size, but you
are invited to make a test of it first
at the doctor’s expense. Send him
your address today and he will send
you a free sample bottle direct to
your home. Then when satisfied buy
it of your favorite druggist.
For the free sample address him.

1AVAL TIP FOR SEAQOERS
.emon and Ginger Should Be Given
to Those Not Sure of Themselves
on Shipboard.
A surgeon on the naval hospital
hip Solace has a remedy for seaalok
ess which should be of Interest to
oiks who are going on winter cruises
nd are apprehensive that they may
ave to stay below deck most of the
Ima.
It Is simply a decoction of lenjon
nd ginger, and may be taken In the
ora of lemon soda and ginger ale, or
dash of seltzer may be added, to a
ttle lemon Juice and Jamaica ginger,
'he doctor's Idea is that the lemon
suses a greater secretion of the gaa
rlc Juices and that the ginger serves
s a stimulant, the need of which can
e best appreciated by the victim.
The remedy has been used on the
olace with various degrees of sue
ess, and It Is not pretended that It
'111 prove effective for everybody. It
hould be taken In small doses as soon
s trouble seems to be approaching,
1 though It may be of some use at a
rell-advanced stage.
Uninviting as the beverage may
eem, It can be made after a little
xperlmentlng so that It Is very
greeable. The lemon Juice and gin
er is not as nalatable as the soda,
ut has been found to give better re
ults. Urually u Is best to make it
rlth more ginger than lemon and with
net enough carbonic water to make
t drinkable.
Players of Cards
If a tailor be the ninth part of a
nan, it muct be a consolation to the
ard-player to be at least a fourth. If.
adeed, he be "dummy" he need not
e a tailor's dummy. The whole rings
f human emotions is his. The tri
imphant holder of four trumps, the
aassacred and Innocent victim of »
grand slam," the irritable and lrreo
octlable whiner whose trick has been
loubly won by a sleepy partner, are
lubjeots for caricaturist and tragedian
iHk« For in a game of cards one has
he mirror and measure of a man. A
logarth might sharpen his pencil or a
^amb write a whole series of essays
ipon the oard-player. The benevolent
rid gentleman, with gold-rimmed spec
aoles; the studious old maid whose
nind carries the procession of cards
like a human kaleidoscope; the dream
if who is thinking of some suit more
romantic than the four cardinal points
sf the card-player’s oompass; the
liopeless and abject beginner—all
move in the pasteboard circle. They
are not Invariably models of propriety,
of restraint and temper, but always
they a.*e artists' models.—R. R. Buck

A Gladstone Story.
Mr. B. 7. Benson, in an article os
the winter charms of Grlhdelwald ii
"Travel and Exploration," related ai
anecdote of Mr. Gladstone. It seemi
that at a country house one mornini
the guests were discussing at break
fast the right way of packing l
sponge-bag, when the sponge has b-^ei
used and is consequently water
lagged. Mr. Gladstone, who had ap
parently been solely absorbed by hli
morning's correspondence, suddenl]
closed the discussion by informing th<
party that they were all wrong. "Th<
only proper method is to wrap It u]
In your bath-towel, and stamp upoi
it Then put it in your sponge-bag
Tou will find it perfectly dry.”

THEY HAD TO BE SCOLDED
Teacher Made Chinese Boys Fight,
That Being Only Fault 8he Knew
How to Correct.
The doctor who tried to throw all
his patients Into fits because that was
the only thing he knew how to cure,
has his counterpart In the young Sun
day-school teacher who was trans
ferred to the Chinese quarter from
an Irish neighborhood where fighting
was about the only original sin she
had been called upon to rebuke. All
ai_ _ s_a___ m a_
»uv luiuiuiM nnuauioQ iu okay 1110
fight microbes were known to her, but
since Chinese boys have yet to learn
that fists were made to fight with her
one accomplishment lay fallow. Each
lad, she was positive, was reeking
with subtle Oriental wickedness, but
that was much harder to tackle than
the rampant Irish-Amerlcan variety
she had been used to. At last she
managed to stir up a real fight be
tween two Chinese youths, but before
much damage had been done the mis
sion superintendent Interfered and re
buked her for allowing so much bad
blood to come to a head.
“But what could I dor* she said,
helplessly. "I just had to let them
fight. They all needed to be scolded
for something, and that Is the only
thing I knew how to correct them for."
Longevous Goose.
Geese will live to a great age, and
some few yean ago 1 came across a
very venerable goose (male or female
I cannot now say) In Wesmoreland In
unexpected circumstances. I was
walking from Mllnthorpe to Amslde,
and at Ganaslde found an acquain
tance sitting on a seashore bench
feeding a pet goose with biscuits
steeped In ale. He told me that this
goose had been in hts family for over
forty years and was partial to beer
stout, and even gin. One of the most
remarkable records of the longevity
i of geese with which I am acquainted
is to be found in an old book entitled
“Travels In Scotland.” by the Rev.
James Hall, M. A., London, two vol
umes, 1907. On a visit to a Mr.
Charles Grant of Elchles, Stirling
shire, the author was Informed of a
gander that had been killed by acci
dent after living at the same place
for "above eighty years.”—O. W. M. In
the Field.
Children and Money.
My father waa a minister with six
children, says a writer In the Christian
Herald. My mother was ready to en
ter college with her brothers befors
the day of the woman’s college. Now
that I have children of my own, I am
thankful for the thoughtful training
which we six children had. We each
had a small allowance, and at the
close of the year, If In our home-made
diaries we could show a balance In
our favor, the amount of money we
had saved was ,’oubled and placed to
our aocount In the savings bank. We
then became the p*cud possessors of a
bank book. The habit of saving, with
wise supervision to prevent miserli
ness, makes all the difference between
plenty and want In later yeara.
The Bill ef Rights.
The Bill of Rights In English his
tory Is the declaration made by the
Loros and Commons to the Prince and
Princess of Orange on February 13,
1389, In an act setting forth “the
rights and liberties of the subject, and
settling the succession of the crown."
This bill is virtually the beginning of
free government in England. Never
since it passed the parliament ha]
British king dared to Interfere with
the fundamental rights of the Brit
ish people. The Bill of Rights, while
not original—the most or Its principles
being a repetition of those laid down
lx Magna Charts—Is Justly looked up
on as the foundation of English free
dom.

WANT BARGAINS IN PEWS
i Thrifty Church-Goers Who 8eck Cut
Rates Sometimes Will Overlook
All Other Considerations.
Ministers have so many things to
worry about that it Is pretty hard to
add the bargain-hunting habits of
their parishioners to their other cares,
but some of them are doomed to shoul
der that extra burden. Old members
of the congregation are not likely to
go out hunting cut-rate pews In other
churches, but newcomers who are lust
deciding upon a onuron nome au do it.
"A reduction of two dollars a year
In pew rent will fetch the bargain
hunter every time," said a sexton.
"Only last week a young woman who
expects to make her home In this city
concluded that of all elty ohurohea of
this denomination she liked ours best
and would take a pew here, but when
she found she could get a pew that
suited her about as well In another
church for three dollars a year lees
she let all other considerations go by
the board and Identified herself with
that churoh. The out-rate pew hunter
is a recognised feature of modem
church life. Because a new member
elects to Join our congregation does
not at all signify that he shares our
religious convictions or likes the pas
tor and our service; It may mean that
we charge less for the pew he Ukea
than another church up street."
