DEAR FATHER.—I awl writing this letter in the Wesleyan Soldier's Home about 40 rods from our te110 room. I am sitting on a chair in the middle of the room writing this against my knee. This room is as big as our kitchen, dining room and pal for com- bined and it is jammed full of soldiers. There are several small writing tables but they are full up and chairs have about filled up the rest of the space. The window blinds are down as a pre- caution against zepplin raids. The room is lit by two big gas lamps near the ceiling. There is a small stove in the centre of the room. The piano over in the corner isu oifor all i is g to worth at the hands of some rag time artist, Thele is a little counter where a woman Bells stamps and stationery. Add to this a pale blue atmosphere from pipes and cigarettes and you have some idea of the comfort of the Soldiers' Homes. It's here that we get warmth and light and writing tables to weiLe letters on. It is get- ting dark early now, about 8 o'clock, an 1 generally come here when the evening's cleaning up is done to write letters or in my diary or read a few 'stray magazines that find their way here, when they are from one to four months old. It has been raining for. the last couple of days and all Ole rid- ing schools except the closed one al e 1egular pools, unfit for use, so the Sergeant blaster Instructor organ- ized the whole riding class intik foo' squads followed at Chitty yard inter- vals. It would have done your hero t good to see us dashing through the steefts of Cheriton making the pave- ment ring a11(1 "Eyes Right" to the Staff officers that neetus oil hersebuck. Then we went along a nice avenue with trees on both sides right along e trail going through the fields. We rode two abreast and were rather er"tvded when we met a eat' III' %ranee We went towards the range of frills about two miles In the North of the tramp ; tine utast famous o0 these hills is called Caesar's Camp, where tradi- tion says Julius 00118110 encamped back in 55 11. 0 and that, the hill has been a Raman Camp can hardly be doubted from the shape of the top of it. We rode along by Caesar's Clump and up a lint row road winding up a gully to the Lop of 1 he tweet of the range a good five. hundred feet high. '!'here we had a magnificent view of Shcrncliffe Canto ; 0(104 1(1,, and Polk- stnne, it 70)19 a splendid sight, the tents and buildings and the villages. There was a little drizzle but it didn't bother us, we were 00 Noises and had our great coatsLe and were having a fine thee. We ln( cane bel h t sheltered spot 00 where there Was a cross toad and (�ie• mounted about fifteen minutes to rest the horses, tighten the girths and ad- just the saddles. We had arrived ata stretch of fertile ground and it did 1119 heart good to see the fields of wheat, barley, turnips and pasture all'tirnnnd. Some of the wheat had just beers cut and there was one big field of stooks with a binder in the cornier, I thought I would like to get away and handle the sheaves and see if I could still pitch them. We got up again on the horses and began to come down the hill, We Ode along one of those lovely Iiinglish by-paths about .ix Net. wide with tali elderberry and bleak - bet ry bushes on both aides, The black berries are quite green some of the bushes being still in flower, but the elderberries were getting ripe and we rose in our stirrups to grub the bushes that hung down. Down we went ar:d turned a corner into one of the Eng- lish villages wh1011 are so thick all over the country pltet the inn, the church, some thatched barns and down under a railway bridge, then out by a pretty rend with logit hanks and bushes then into an open stretch and tut ning a corner we found ourselves in Cheriton again and back to the stables in a very short while. I enjoyed every minute of the ride. I ant quite hardened up now so that I can ride a trotting horse of course with slim ups, for an hoer without any discomfort, How I wish I could take lny horse out on Satur- day afternoon and go wandering over the country. However, there is one disadvantage to a ride on a rainy day and that collies when you are back in the stables. The horse has to be dried with a 0001se sack and the heels especially have to be dried with great care, since the fetlock hairs toe all cut off on military horses. But I would willingly clean the horse every day no matter IlOW muddy he would he if the riding toaster would take us over the neighboring country as he did this mornhing. Well it is near 0.30 the men are beginning to go and I have got a seat at one of the tables. The piano is still going but -irregularly as it changes operators. Just now it le go- ing hard to the tune "Are you from Dixie." Thanks for your letters. It's nice to get those little pictures of home. BRENTON. THREE LADIES MET TRAGIC DEATH One, Miss Mame Stretton, Nalco of Mrs. John Mooney and Cousin to W. F. Stratton. From the Lancaster , (Ohio) Daily Eagle, of October 2nd, the following unusual particulars are furnished, one of the victims being a maitre of Mrs. John Mooney, Morris township and a cousin to W. F. Stretton, Brussels :— The tragic death of three persona that occurred just outside the city limits, on East Fair avenue, Sunday evening, stirred the city from center to circumference as nothing has done for many a day, and the tragedy was all the talk Monday everywhere. Shortly before 0 o'clock, John Soli - day, an engineer of North Madison eveuue, went to the home of Misses Agnes Dula Smelters, and Alice Selters his near neighbors, for a bucket of water, as he often did, and as was his custom, he went to the kitchen door to get them a bucket of water also, but he received no response to his knock and call, so he went 011 home and after re- lating to Mrs. Suliday that he received no response to his knock at the kitchen door and everything was dark about the hn e0.tMrs. Solidsy'san g gestion that there might be something wrong as they never go away on Sun- day, he in company with his neigh- bor, Elmer Wentz, taking their gone, in order to be ready hi case of emer- gency, went back to the Snletters home and again knocking at the door and calling without receiving re- sponse, they entered the kitchen with a lantern and seeing no one or receiv- ing no answer when they called out the names of the Misses Smelters, they went into their rooms and in the front room the dim light of the lan- tern revealed the forms of three wo- men sitting in easy chairs, still and motionless. At first the men could not believe that the women were dead, as they sat so straight and life- ] ie like and they were nut satisfied until y t they had shaken thein and called their names when they found without doubt that they were all three lifeless, The women were Miss .Agnes, better known as Dula Srnetters, aged about 55 years, her sister, Alice Smelters, aged about 50 years, and bliss Mary Stretton, aged 30 years, daughter of W. C. Stretton, the oil well contract- or of North High Street. Messrs. Soliday and Wentz were avtounded and somewhat excited over what they had found and at once notified the neighbors and called Dr. George W. Beery, of East Main street, by phone, who responded promptly but, could do nothing when he arrived as till three of the women had been (lead some time. Chief of Police Henry J. Wallace WILE called by phone and Coroner Peter Bugh was called about 6.30 o'clock. The parents of Miss Stretton were notified at once and her father, Mr. Stretton, with Henry Sherrick and wile, n 00,014 at (Ince to the scene of Ow tragedy, at riving there before the ,•,((•(anal'. The Smelters girls had formerly twee near 'mighhots of the Stretton family and were vet intimate friends, and it was the custom of bliss Mary Stretton to call at the Smettere home almost every Sunday afternoon and on this occasion she had arrived at the hone shotly after 3 o'clock p. m. There was absolutely nothing in the position or attitudes of the several women to indicate that, (hero had been foul play or that the tragedy might have been a suicide pact. The room in which the dead women were found was heated by a small gas Potatoes sennemmemasursing Choice hnrnePotatoes ro n fn r g w eating or 8eec1, $1.80 per bag.

SEVEN YEARS JORTUR[ Nothing Helped Him Until He Took "FRUIT•A-TIVES" ALBERT VARNER Buckingham, Que., May 3rd, 1915. For seven years, I suffered terribly from Severe Headaches and Indigestion. I had belching gas from the stomach, bitter stuff would come up into my mouth after eating, while at times I had nausea and vomiting, and had chronic Constipation. I went to several doctors and wrote to a specialist in Boston but without benefit. Itried many remedies but nothing did mo good. Finally, a friend advised "Fruit -a -tines ". I took this grand fruit medicine and it made me well. I am grateful to "Fruit-a- tives ", and to everyone who has mise- rable health with Constipation and Indi- gestion and Bad Stomach, 1 say take " Fruit -a -tines ", and you will getwell".

Tobin, has frequent- ly been complained of, as the com- bustion was not believedf to be perfect. To the right of this heater, only a few feet away, sat bliss Agnes Stnet- tets with a newspaper ill her hands and lying on her lap as if reading, ITer fingers still grasped the paper. ller head had fallen over to one side as if asleep, She had vomited on her bosom. To the left of the heater sat her sister, Miss Alice Smelters about the same distance from thetove and d her head also hung to one side, with her hands folded on her lap as if she had been talking to hiss Mary Stretton, who sat in an easy chair about six feet back from the heater, a little to the left of the center of the roost turd while her hands rested naturally on the arms of her chair in an apparent- ly comfortable position with her head thrown back, There was no indication, it was said, of any struggle 00 even the movement of a hand or foot on the part of any of thein and death 1111181 have been in- stantaneous and painless. After Coroner Bugh had viewed the bodies he ordered the bodies of the Misses Smettere removed to the F. E. Smith 0, morgue n d 1' 0o that of 1Lse Stretton to her home on North High Street. Niles Stretton was removed in the Ferd Getz and the other bodies were removed in the F. E. Smith's motor hearse to the Smith morgue, where Drs. 0. G. Axliue and C. H. Hamilton performed an autopsy or post mortem examine tie Ile. It w•as the intention to only ex- amine one body, but when it was found that the lungs of the elder wo- man showed an irritated condition such as the inhalation of poison gas fumes would cause, the lungs and stomach of both were examined and were found to be in the same condi- tion. Mr. Soliclay stated that when be first entered the room and found the dead bodies there was a strong odor of burned gas and the fire in the little heater was burning high, and before leaving the room lie had turn- ed out the gas. Others declared that they had de- tected no odor of burned gas and it was thought entne other agency might have caused their death, It was discovered that the women had eaten a part of an apple pie and Coroner Bugh suggested that the pie might have contained poison, so it was decided that he should take the stomachs of the two lvoit1en and the remaining part of the pie to the State Chemist in Coltimbus and have thein analysed, Coroner Bugh went to Columbus for this purpose Monday morning on an early cat. Miss Alice Snetters, the younger of the two sisters, had been a veined and popular employee of the Excelsior Steam Laundry for over nine years, while her sister had been the house- keeper since the death of her mother, which occurred two years ago, The death of the father, Simon Smelters, occurred a number of years ago and the death of the only son occurred some nine or ten years ago. The Smelters girls were cousins of George L Smeb e1s the Democratic t orcinlea for sheriff and aiso cousins of the children of the hate Judge J. T. Bushy, Mrs. 130shy having been a sister of Siphon Smelters. Mrs. George Braeee, of North Broad street, is also a cousin, as is Mts. Charles Sunderman, of Amanda. Many absurd reports were circulat- ed on the streets concerning the a0ci- deutand the Columbus Monitor pub- lished an absurd sensational story of an alleged suicide pact and the local agent bad to he interrupted in his street yelling in selling *his papers and was threatened with arrest if he per- BQist Mated in his wild unearthly yells a- bout the story, The funeral of Mise Stretton was Conducted 1 ed Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from her late home on North High street by Rev. E. M. Ellsworth, Burial al Forest Rose cemetery, Miss fittetton is survived by two brothers, Harry, of this city, and Bert, of Parkesbtu'g, besides her par- ents. The' date of the obsequies of the Smelters sisters has not yet been ar- ranged. They were both consistent and well known members of the First M, k), Church and had a wide circle of friends who will deeply mourn their untimely and tragic taking off. Philip Barr, of Carroll, uncle of the Stlleltel'e girls, called et the F. 1.'. Smith Undertaking rooms this after- nuou to see the remains of his nieces. Their mother was his sister. Another uncle, Jacob Barr, of Russelvania, Logan County, also survives.
