FOR HIS LITTLE
GAL'S SAKE
.,TlrlitP ,,iPd, 4,oU,,,NTlr1',Iir ,Tp, , , , I , , , , , , , , i
I had been on the sick list foe a
fortnight, and so had missed inter-
viewing H 2164 on reception. The
"institutional" smell, acompound
of corduroy, oatmeal, and human-
ity had knocked me over, writes a
prison chaplain in London Answers.
But I had read the case in the
papers, and looked forward with
some little interest to seeing the
gentleman who had been nobbled
and put by for seven years.
I entered his cell, and he greeted
me with a grin and outstretched
hand. I shook it, although as a
rule I reserved a grip of the hand
for some poor chap whose tears
were nearer than smiles.
He jerked his thumb towards the
cell door.
"All clear, padre 4"
"Yes,” I said.
He came nearer,
On the Straight.
"Want to earn twenty quid?" he
asked huskily.
I smiled. When I broke the rules
I did it for nothing!
"You're a straight pilot, they
tell me, and it's like this. The
missus was laid up when they nab-
bed me, and she'll be wanting a bit
of help. There's a matter of a hun-
dred quid under a board in the
floor, and—well, I want her to
know !"
"Yours?" I asked significantly.
Ho grabbed a Bible from his
shelf, and swore a mighty oath it
was.
"Made it fair and square, padre.
Savings afore I went crooked."
Perhaps I looked dubious. It was
only natural, for H 2164 was a swell
cracksman, and his jobs averaged a
couple of thousands apiece.
"There's an old .savings book
with it, padre," he went on eagerly,
"with afew bob still in. Look at
it, and you'll see it took me nigh on
three years to save that. It's all
down there."
"Wife been 1114" I asked.
"Yes, padre; else I might have
got it through to her. I ain't seen
her"—and there was a catch in his
voice—"not since they come and
took me. Police went all through
the house,but they never found it."
I thought for a. minute. It was
risky very. I didn't want the
twenty pounds. But I knew the
poverty, the awful fight against
starvation, the degradation, that
came to convicts' wives when they
were left absolutely penniless.
Foregivoness Earned.
"She never knew I worn't run-
ning straight, padre," he added,
with a little touch of strange pride.
I still hesitated. It was, hopeless-
ly wrong, in one sense, yet in an-
other --
He came closer, and put' his hand
on my sleeve. His eyes blinked,
then filled with tears—a man's
tears are compelling—as he whis-
pered with agony :
"There's a. little 'un, padre—the
first—a little gal !"
His sleoulders heaved, and for a
minute .he could not speak.
"A little gal—and I ain't seen her
yet; !"
I took a deep breath.
"I'll do it," I said.
On a Saturday afternoon I cycled
out for some miles to the junction,
and then took the train.
The nurse took me. to the parish
clergyman, and I entered the room
at once. She left ns alone.. The
convict's wife was ill, desperately
ill, but making a brave fight or
the 'little gal's " sake.
Then I gave my messages, and be
sure they lost nothing in the tell-
ing.
The hopeless look .left her eyes,
and a flush stole over the white
face.
"Tell Bill I forgive him, and—I'll
wait for him; and say baby's just
like him ; and—and God bless you,
sir!"
I suppose I sh,ouldn't have done
it; but it was for the "little gal's"
sake—and the mother's—and the
man's.
So I may be forgiven.
It Kept on Ringing.
He was not a very rapid wooer,
and she was getting a bit anxious.
A persistent ring came at the
front door.
"Oh, bother !" she said, "who
can be calling 4"
"Say you're out," he suggested.
"Oh, no, that would be untrue,"
she protested.
"Then say you are engaged,". he
urged.
"Oh, may I, Charlie V' she cried,
as she fell into his amis.
And the man kept on ringing the
front door bell,

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS MAK-
ING A REPUTATION IN
THE WEST.
Saskatchewan Man Tells How They
Cured Rim, After Four Months'
Suffering from Backache and
Other Forms of Kidney Disease.
St. Phillips, Sask., April 21
(Special).—In a new country,
where changes of climate and im-
pure water are among the difficul-
ties to be surmounted, kidney trou-
ble is prevalent. It is the kidneys,
the organs that strain the impuri-
ties out of the blood, that first feel
any undue strain on the body. Con-
sequently, Dodd's Kidney Pills
have been well tried and tested in
this neighborhood.
They have stood the test. Many
settlers tell of backache, rheuma-
tism and urinary troubles cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Otto
Olshewski is one of these. ' In
speaking of his cure he says:
"I suffered from kidney disease
for four months. My back ached,
I had heart flutterings, and was al-
ways tired .and nervous. My skin
had a harsh, dry feeling; my limbs
were heavy ; and I had a dragging
sensation across the loins.
"I consulted a doctor, but, as I
did not appear to improve, I de-
cided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I
used six boxes, and now I am all
right."
Dodd's Kidney Pills always stand
the test. Ask your neighbors.

The Origin of the Heel.
It is said that the heels now worn
on shoes had their origin in Persia,
where they took the form of flat
wood on sandals to raise the feet
and protect them from the hot
sands. It was many years after-
ward that this fashion was intro-
duced into Venice, but the reason
for its adoption in this case is said
to have been quite different. Here
the originators of the fashion were
jeaulous husbands, who reasoned
that their ladies thus equipped
would not venture far outside the
precincts of their dwelling. These
heels were 'called "clogs," and in
order to satisfy the vanity of the
wearers and perhaps to sweeten the
pill—that is, the discomfort of ap-
pearing in them they were elabor-
ately adorned, sometimes being en-
crusted with gold and silver. The
height of the clogs determined the
rank of the wearer.

NEW COMPASS FOR WIRELESS
Clever Contrivance Tells Sender
Direction of Distant Station
With the new Telefunken wireless
compass the direction of a distant
wireless station may be found. To
carry this out, the sending post is
provided with a certain number of
antenna, each of which sends out
waves in a certain direction on the
horizon, so that by connecting the
apparatus on. to. Antenna N. 1 the
waves travel north, No. 2 to north-
east, and so one. In reality there
are used as many as 16 different:
points of the compass.
To connect in each antenna in
turn there is used a contact drum
rotated by an electric motor. A
separate antenna sends out a time
signal in tall directions. Just after
the time ,signal is sent the drum ro-
tates so as to connect on one an-
tenna after the other. At the dis-
tant station the operator has a
watch device with ahand rotating
around a dial at exactly the same
rate as the drum. When he hears
the time signal he presses the watch
button and the hand commences to
rotate. At .a given time one of the
signals comes in his direction, and
here the sound is loudest, so that
he stops the watch, and now the
hand points to the direction of the
other station.
The time of each rotation is one-
half minute, and he can repeat the
observations so as to arrive at an
accurate result. It is said that the
method is accurate to. within three
or four degrees.

If Breathing is Difficult,
If Nostrils are Plugged,
You Have Catarrh
At Last a Remedy That Already Has Per.
inanently Cured Thousands.
Perhaps you haven't heard of the new
xeiried it's so pleasant to use—fills the
nose, `throat and lungs with a healing
balsamic vapor like the air of the pine
woods. It's really a wonderful remedy—
utilized that marvelous antiseptic only
found, in the Blue Gum tree of Australia.
Thee•' name of this grand specific is
Catarrhozone, and you can't find its
equal on earth for coughs, colds, catarrh
or throat trouble. You see it's no longer
necessary to drug the stomach—that
epoile digestion just simply inhale the
baleamie essences of Catarrhozone, which
are' go rieh in healing that they drive
out every trace of Catarrh in no time.
"I look upon Catarrhozone as the most
valuable medical discovery of recent
years," writes R. V. Potter, of Prince
Albert. "As a long sufferer from nasal
and throat catarrh I was obliged to take
considerable medicine, and, although It
helped ens,my digestion was always die-
iurbed and the catarrh didn't go away.
With Catarrhozone it was different. It
cleaned my nose and throat of all phlegm
and discharges, enabled mc to breathe
freely, relieved a stuffy feeling in my
nose and frontal headaches, To -day I am
entirely free from catarrh, and I use my
Catarrhozone Inhaler a little every day
in order to prevent the disease from re-
turniing."
With Catarrhozone experimenting ends.
A permanent curative action begins. Last-
ing' relief from Catarrh results. The large
size costs $1.00, last two months and is
guaranteed. Small size 60o.; sample size

"What shall I eat 4" is the daily
inquiry the physician is met with.
I do not hesitate to say that in my
judgment a large percentage of dis-
ease is caused by poorly selected
and improperly prepared food. My
personal experience with the ful-
ly -cooked food, known as Grape -
Nuts, enables me to speak freely
of its merits.
"From overwork, I suffered sev-
eral years with malnutrition, pal,
pitation of the heart, and loss of
.sleep. Last summer I was led to
experiment personally with the new,
food, which I used in conjunction
with good rich cow's milk. In a
short time after I. commenced its
use, the disagreeable symptoms dis-
appeared, my heart's action be-
came steady and normal, the func-
tions
unstions of the stomach were properly
carried out and I again slept as
soundly and as well as in my youth.
"I look upon Grape -Nuts as a
perfect food, and no one can gain-
say but that it has a most promin-
ent place in a rational, scientific
system of feeding. Any one who
uses this food will soon be con-
vinced of the soundness of the
principle upon which it is manu-
factured and may thereby know the
facts as to its true worth." Name

CLEVER NEW BURGLAR TRAP.
•
Placed in Front of Counter, Auto-
matically Imprisons Thief.
An ingenious device is the inven-
tion of Mr. William Norreys, of
Yattendon Road, Horley, England.
it consists of a false floor, which
may be constructed in front of the
counter or whatever other part of
the shop or office a thief might be
expected to 'stand upon. This floor,
which covers a pit, is supported by
projecting pins, which can be with-
drawn into their sockets by means
of a lever worked by a brass rail on
the shopman's side of the counter
and running along the whole length
of .it. The floor being set free to
fall, the thief upon it sinks quickly
into the pit, alighting upon spring
or pneumatic shock -absorbers, that
he may not be injured. His weight
works another lever, which causes
a sliding door to close over the
mouth of th epit. The device can
be set at night for burglars or safe-
breakers, the retaining pins being
so adjusted that the false floor will
fall under the added weights of a
burglar.
Even a reputation will get rusty
if you don't keep it in constant use.
TO GET GREAT HORSEPOWER.
Lay Trial Tidal Plant at Schleswig-
Holstein.
Millions of horsepower are going
to waste which the sea could fur-
nish us if only some practical way
of running a tidal plant could be
found, says the Polytechnieal Re -
vie*. The idea is in the air at pre-
sent and there are several projects
in hand which are likely to be taken
up before long. One of these is
brought out by Engineer Pein, of
Hamburg, and he proposes to lay
out two large basins on the sea
coast i . Schleswig-Holstein. Two
ttrux4 1eiafls are used and the water
takes anwift flow between the ha -
sins on somewhat the same plan as
has been used on a, modern scale
and for running as large a plant as
the 5,000 -horsepower one which he
is now designing, Part of the work
is already done by a i%mile jetty
in the sea connecting with Nord -
strand island. The basins will have
2,500and 1,000 acres surface and
the height of the waterfall between
them is four or five feet, so that
with a great volume of water it is
possible to run a set of 500 -horse-
power, turbines, ten in number, so
as to have 5,000 -horsepower. This
is only a trial plant, and should it
succeed a much greater amount of
power 'can be obtained in this way
by using larger basins and in
greater number, as the sea will give
an unlimited amount of power.

famous stone lion ; the bas-relief of
Nebuchadnezzar himself, with his
quaint curly beard; the atone goose
which was the standard measure of
weight in Babylonian grocery
stores; the odd tribe of kinky -tailed
cats; the thousands of queer dishes,
urns, vases, utensils, figures of men
and beasts, bath -tubs, bowl -shaped
coffins and cuneiform tablets which
have been unearthed by the careful
Germans. They showed me the ma-
gic name of Nebuchadnezzar stamp-
ed on numerous bricks, and I walk-
ed through the very banquet hall
where, peradventure, the handwrit-
ing came on the wall at the feast
of. Belshazzar and "a thousand of
his lords." On the perfectly pre-
served walls of the palace I beheld
the strange figures of mythological
beasts and the everlasting bull,
which held a high place in Baby-
lonion worship. Under German

Your experience is probably somewhat
similar to that described by Mr. J. T.
Fleming in the following letter from his
home in Lebanon: "I think I must have
the most sluggish sort of a liver. In the
morning my mouth was bitter, and that
foul, eat feeling that tells you `No
breakfast needed here this morning.' A
cup of coffee would. sort of brace me up,
but in two hours I• was disposed to quit
work, all energy having oozed out of
me. Supper was my only good meal, but
I guess I didn't digest very well, for I
dreamt to beat the band. A friend of
mine put 'me wise to Dr. Hamilton's
Pills. I think they must have taken hold
of my liver, perhaps my stomach, too,
because at the very start they made
things go right. Look nt me now—not
sleepy in the daytime, but hustling for
the mighty dollar and getting fun out
of life every minute. That's what Dr.
Hamilton's Pills have done for me—they
have rebuilt and rejuvenated my entire
system."

Cold Brook, St. John, N. D.—" Cuticura
Soap and Ointment certainly cured my little
girl of a very bad case of eczema. She had
eczema on her face for al-
most two years. First little
white blisters covered her
face, then these would break
and form scabs, and they
wore very itchy and burn-
ing. I used to have great
trouble in getting her to
sleep at night. She scratched
so X had to do all I could to
prevent her, for sometimes she would scratch
the scabs off and then it would be very sore
and burning. She was certainly a great care.
I treated her for it and also used different
kinds of blood medicine, and ointment but
got no.cure. I thought she would be disfig-
ured for life.
"It had lasted about two years when one
day I saw an advertisement for Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment in the paper
so decided to givo them a trial. I had not
used them for more than a month when she
was completely cured. I cannot praise
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
