SEARCHING FOR BODY.
W. P. Troxler Thought to Have
Been Drowned in Black River
Near Pocahontas.
Pocahontas, April 11. —It is
supposed that W. P. Troxler was
drowned Friday night in Black
river while returning to his home
about six miles up the river. He
came to town in a skiff on ac
count of the high water and on
returning he was last seen about
two miles below his home.
The following day his skiff
was found lodged in some brush
a mile below where he was last
seen on the evening before.
Judging from the water in the
boat and the missing oars and
rudder the boat must have been
capsized.
Parties have been searching
for his body two days, but have
not found It.

hours.
It is supposed that the child
was playing in the fire when its
clothing caught.

MOTHER'S FRUIT CAKE.
It Waa a Big One, Bat the Exprcii
Charges Were a Little
Bit Bigger.
The woman who was telling the story
was the best gowned of all the women
in the cafe. It seemed to amuse the
company around her table and some at
near-by seats couldn’t help listening to
it, relates the New York Sun.
“I never see a piece of fruit or pound
cake that I don’t think of my poor dear
incfthdr out in Kansas,” she was saying.
“Did I ever tell you about the cake she
sent me? Well, it was the first Christ
mas I was in New York.
“From my chill little bedroom in a
rooming house half way up town I used
to write to her the rosiest letters of my
progress and expectations. It used to
cheer my gloomiest hours to see what
lies I could put down on paper for the
gratification and comfort of the little
old lady. One night when I hadn’t had
any dinner, I remember sending her a
long letter about plans I was making
to bring my little sister east and give
her the education she ought to have.
"A few days before Christmas I got a
letter in mother’s own labored writing.
She said she knew I hankered for a
taste of the fruit cake we always had
at home at Christmas time and she had
made a whole big one for me and had
shipped it by express.
“I promised myself that with one of
mother’s nourishing fruit cakes at hand
j i wouia De aDie to sustain myseu uu tue
off days, and I sat in expectancy next
day when the bell rang and the maid
came toiling up the two flights to tell
me that there was a package for me.
“The expressman climbed up with a
round parcel almost as big as a wash
tub. He held up the book for me to
sign and remarked, incidentally,
‘charges are J6.45 ma’am.’ Mother had
sent it collect, all the way from the lit
tle Kansas town.
“Six forty-five! The fruit cake was as
far beyond my reach as a Tiffany tiara.
So the expressman bore it away while I
muttered something about dropping
Into his office with the money as soon as
I had been to the bank. Then I wrote
a strictly private note to my little sis
ter telling her to tear up any notice
that might be sent to mother by the
company telling her the parcel was un
delivered. I have an idea they have
some such system. Haven’t they?
“Then I sat down and wrote a fresh
letter to mother telling her how much
I had enjoyed the cake, and describing
all the fictitious persons who had shared
it with me, and who sent their con
gratulations to her on her skill as a
cakemaker. I ran out and mailed the
letter and went back and cried myself
to sleep.”
“And that was the end of the cak®7"
asked one of the women at the table.
“Oh, no,” continued the narrator.
“Three months later I went to the auc
tion sale of unclaimed express packages
and bid it in for 45 cents. Mother’s
fruit cake is so wholesome and solid that
it will keep for a year. If you’ll all
come up to the house now, each of you
shall have a small piece.”
“What!” exclaimed one of the men.
“Was this event as recent as that?”
The story-teller smiled bewitchingly.
"You know,” she said, turning her look
to the fat and apoplectic person who
was presumptively the husband, "it was
a case of love at first sight with Mr.
X-and me.'*
"Yes,” assented the fat one, “and
we’ve just shipped to mother a fruit
cake that’s so crammed with f20 gold
pieces that there’s no room for raisins.”

was that courtship may be carried on

a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify

ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal.

esteem as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism,
eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh,
