In Search of tIt<> Odd Curios

The following advertisement appeared
in the ne wspapers of St. Joseph, Mo..re
cently:
“Wanted—Human skulls! must. b« la
good condition; will pay liberally for
fine gpecimeaa. Apply Hotel M. Charles
W. Jenkins.”
Jenkins was a temporary resident of
St. Joseph, where he has considerable
realty interests, but bis real home is In
Corpus Christl, Tex. He has probably
the oddest fad of any collector of curios
who has ever been a resident of that city.
Mr. Jenkins Is very anxious to Increase
his collection of skull3, and In the pos
session of medical students, physician*
and colleges of St. Joseph are specimens
taken from tarious burying grounds
that have t^en unearthed In the ex
cavations for buildings on sites that
hundreds of years ago were repositories
for the dead of the ancient red man.
“I have now In my possession 348
perfect specimens of human skulls,” says
Mr. Jenkins. “They represent the hu
man of many ages, and I find them an
interesting study Indeed. How did I
come to Indulge in such a strange fad?
Well, in my youth I made a study of
anatomy, and became intensely Inter
ested In the construction of the human |
'rame. 1 gradually acquired a taste for
this form of bric-a-brac.
“I got my real start as a collector of
skulls In 1887. During excavations In
3t. Joseph on property In the possession
of my father several specimens of an
ancient race were exhumed, and
straightway found a resting place npon
s shelf In a cabinet In my home. I vis
ited the former home of the mound
builder la Colorado and New Mexico,
where other specimens of the ancient
Inhabitants were discovered. They dif
fer materially from the skulls found in
3t. Joseph, Then I visited the holy land
(n search of specimens. From there I
drifted to the lands of the Ptolemies of
Egypt. Here tome valuable acquisi
tions were made. I have tramped over
the Pampas of South America, the moun
tains of Peru and Chili, and even pene
trated into the ■wlldo’messes of the Ama
«on, where, in deposits of earth and
'tone, I have brought to light perfeet
specimens of human skulls, represent
ing periods which history does not
-.hronicle.
"In my experiments I have found that
some skulls take a very beautiful
polish, and I must say that, under the
hand of a skilled artisan, they are made
magnificent These specimens occupy a
cabinet by themselves. I have a number
of skulls taken from the wreck of the
Galveston storm. I also have specimens
from other disasters on this and other
continents. Five victims of the Mont
Pelee disaster are represented in my
collection. This business of collecting
skulls is a great aid in the study and re
tention of important facts in history. I
have in my possession the skulls of men
at times prominent in the history of
this nation. How I came to have them
I do not care to say. However, money
Is a means of gratifying the tastes of
anyone who cares to make a collection
af this kind. Because I have acquired a
liking for this work, I spend much time
during t.he winter months wandering
about between rows of grinning heads,
philisophlzing, after the fashion of the
grave digger in Hamlet, upon the brev
ity of human life.”
“SUICIDE CLUB” FLOURISHES

Boise, Idaho, nas a fully organized
suicide club. That it is ready for busl

siderable business Is shown by the faci
that at least three of its members have
‘shuffled off” by the suicide route with
---* -
The fact of the existence of the organ
ization became known to the police In
an Investigation Into the death of Grace
Ashton, its latest victim. She died from
morphine poisoning on a third attempt
at suicide, both of her jfrevlous attempts
having been frustrated through season
able discovery by friends.
Another young woman friend of Miss
Ashton attempted suicide by taking poi
son, but recovered, and It was through
her that the existence of the club was
made known. The club Is regularly or
ganized with a strong membership—all
young women—and holds meetings at
regular Intervals. It transpires that at
each meeting a new victim Is chosen by
lot, who is to “pass off” before the time
’or the next meeting by one of the usual
nethods adopted In such cases, the par
ticular mode being optional with the can

:o $900 per annum. There were few
ippllcants, fewer took the examina
tion, and only 42 were found eligible
for appointment Another examina
| Mon will, therefore, be held early In
| October. The Insular bureau will not
permit women to take the examina
tion for these positions, and the du
ties or pay of pedagogue do not seem
i so appeal to the young men of the
I country.

Nervous
W orn-Out
If you are in this condition,
your nerve force is weak—the
power is giving out, the or
gans of your body have
“slowed up,” and do their work
imperfectly. This failure to
do the work required, clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. When the nerves
are weak the heart is unable j
to force the life-giving blood
through your veins; the stom
ach fails to digest food; the .
kidneys lack power to filter ;
impurities from the blood, and ,
the poisonous waste remains in
the system to breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine will lo it,
because it strengthens the
nerves; it is a nerve medicine
and tonic, that r-budds the
entire nervous syso-m.
“Several years ago t wes all broken
down. 1 was nervous, worn •• it. could
not sleep, and mis in . •>M..nt r>tin
I doctored for months, at i tin I is
doctor said he could do nothing for
me. I began taking I»r. Mil
Nervine, and used . 'tog'Sj, •• eight
bottles, and t been tin- l- ■: 1
healthy, and now weigh 17"_ pounds.” |

Dr. Miles’ Nervine is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he
will refund your money.
