POISONED BY TOADSTOOLS. Four Who Ate Them By Mistake Died Near Landisville, N. J. Toadstools mixed with mushrooms and eaten at a bir:hday party has caused the death of four of the six members of the family of Joseph Franzor, a farmer, who resides near Landisville. N. J. The dead are Joseph Franzor, aged thirty-eight years; his wife, aged thirty and two daughters aged seven and two years. The remaining members of the fam ily. two boys, aged five and four years, owe their lives to the fact :hat they did not partake of the poisonous mixture. Franzor was a miner at Leadville, Colo. Last March he purchased a fifty-acre farm near Landisville with money provided by his wife's brother things he raised was a small quan tity of mushrooms. Last Friday a week the family decided to have a birthday party in honor of the two yeard-old daughter. Mushrooms was one of the dishes to be served, and the seven-year-old daughter said she knew where mushrooms could be found in the woods near by. She gathered some of the fungi, and the mother, supposing they were mush rooms, added them to the mushrooms taken from their own soil. Only the members of the family were presei t, and only four of the six ate mush rooms. During the night the father, moth er, and the two little girls became ill. The next morning a doctor was sent for and he diagnosed the cases as that of hiccoughs. All four contin ued to grow worse, and on Monday the two children died. A few days later the parents were brought to the Medico-Chirugical hospital in that city, where it was discovered that they were suffering from toadstool poison ing. The greatest interest was taken in the cases by the hospital physi cians, but, despite their efforts the husband died Sunday night and the wife Monday. Mrs. Franzor was un conscious almost continually from the time she became ill. Neighbors at Landisville have taken charge of the two orphans, and will communicate with their uncle at Leadville. FOR EIGHTEEN CENTS. Central Railway Of Georgia Sued For That Sum. Atlanta, Gi., Aug. 7.-A suit for the recovery of eighteen cents, the price of a ticket from Atlanta to East Point, has been filed in Justice Or mond's court against the Central railway of Georgia. The suit is the outcome of an experience had by Attorney Paul Etheredge at the ter minal station. Friday morning, Mr. Et" ige ac companied a young lady who had been visiting his family, to the ter minal station, where she was to take the train for her home in Americus at 8 o'clock. It is against the rules of the station for anyone to pass into the train shed unless they have a ticket. Wishing to go with the young lady to her car, Mr. Etheredge purchased a ticket to East Point, for which he paid 18 cents. The ticket was stamped redeemable, and he in tended to return it to the agent as soon as he returned from his mission. On returning from the train, to the agent's office, and demanding his money 'back, he was turned down by the agent. The latter declared that the ticket had been stamped by the gate keeper. Mr. Etheredge, after having a second request for his mon ey turned down, went at once to the office of Judge Ormond and brought suit against the Central of Georgia railroad. The trial of the case was set for the third Monday in this month. The cost; in the case will probably amount to over S4o, but the attorney says he will gladly pay any amount in order that the question of principle involved in the case may be settled. The Extravagant Girl. Two young men were talking to gether on the train, says Margaret Hubert Ayer in the New York WVorld. "What are you going to do Satur dar afternoon?" said one. "'Oh, nothing in particular. I want ed to take Mamie out agin, but I can't afford it. Not that she is ex travagant, but she doesn't seem to realize that everything amounst up in :h en( . even. i artares an.d ")da\\ae. \nd a fa:nnlay afternin treat with her :alke a " > de nm of one's The same c,mplimnent wvas heard from at'(ther struggling young man: "I can't call on Miss So-and-so1 :,ften or accept her mother's hospi :ali:ies. beause she is putting me tnder an obligation that I cannot repay without spending just about all I make in one week in theater tickets, cabs, bouquets, etc. Girls if you want to be popular don't be extravagant, or expect a man who makes $8 a week to spend $7.50 in amusements for you. Have some consideration for the boys! The kind of girl who expects her path to be strewn with bouquets, candy, theater tickets annd traps gen erally, will find her popularity short lived, no matter how charming she may be. The average young man's pocket book cannot stand the strain, long, and he will turn to some other girl, less attractive perhaps, but who will be content with the attentions he can afford to bestow upon her. It is a girl's place to see that the expenses a young man incurs for her pleasure shall not excee9 what he can easily afford. It is also the girl's-place to show her men friends that she is satisfied to enjoy their society at her own home among her family. It is natural to want a change of scene now and then, but this easily becomes a habit; then the home offers no attractions to the girl who is used to the excitment of constant variety. This is where extravagant propen sities begin and popularity ceases. Every womanly girl is an embryo home-maker. She shows this by ma king her parcits' home attractive To her friends. Every manly boy is unconsciously looking fo- this quality in a girl, even though he take her off on excursions and picnics. When he eventually finds that she cares only for the amusements that cost him money he will begin to with draw and to seek some girl who will be an'agreeable companion on a less expensive scale. There is where the girl who 'takes pleasure in all simple amusements steps in. She has kept, or cultivated, a child-like gayety of spirit and does not need much outward provocation to bubble over with mirth and en joyment. Her home is bright to her and to others because she is in it. and in its way is quite interesting and delight ful a place to her as the palace of her fairy-tale days. She has work to do, which keeps her busy, whets he appetite for hol iday pleasu.res and gives her a knowledge of the value of money. And she does not spend that of others without remembering how difficult it is to get. She's the ideal summer girl.-Ex. The Old Time Parlor. Manchester Union. The days of the parlor are fast go ing. There was once a time when every family, no matter how poor. had its parlor. And generally the parlor was a most useless place, but i was the pride of the housewife. The Observant Citizen remembers some time ago when the lady of the house insisted that he should 'see "her parlor." Her husband smiled good naturedly, and they both led the way to a big front room which was locked. The door was unlocked, and the parlor got its first fresh air in miths. The little family had ex 'pended much money on the parlor. Everything was new but the stuffed, irds under glass cases. The design of the carpet was wonderful in that it felt like stepping into a bed of flames. A horse shoe sofa, very erect, was the principal article of furnicure, while at the windows were the stiffest lace curtains you ever saw. The room had a musty smell due to long confined air. It was "luxury imprisoned" on a small scale and the finest example of the old time useless parlor. Dr. R. M. Kennedy, DENTIST. Newberry, - - S. C. OVmR NATIONAL BANK. Season Tickets Via. C., N. & L.
