well-known clergyman was one
day in a barber's shop, when four or
?T? young men walked in whom he
kMs by their voices, but who did
not recognize the man in the chair,
with lather all over his face. They
proceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions
which, to say the least, were rather
strong. When the barber pulled away
the towel the clergyman, cleanly
shaved, stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to
take the vacant chair, and the barber ,
called several times: "Next gentleman!''
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
"It isn't a bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effrontery
to answer to that nan.e."

CLAUDI
By BELLE
Craig Huntley sprinted through the
gate and caught up to the outpulllng
train. As be entered the Pullmar
car, breathless from his speed efforts
his composure was not restored bj
the 6lght of a young woman lrre
proachably groomed and gowned whc
occupied the section opposite the one
assigned to him. She was apparent
ly absorbed in a novel, but Craig
with the sure intuition of a man in
love knew that she had witnessed hla
entrance.
The Inevitable first quarrel ol
lovers had occurred between Claudia
Wayne and himself exactly sixty
seven hours ago, and the adamant at
tltude she had since assumed and her
refusal to liBten to explanations had
caused him to And solace In a busl
ness trip. He hadn't the sltghtesl
idea that she, too, contemplated a
Journey. It was an awkward contretemps
for him, and he contemplated
changing his section. A second covert
glance so convinced him of her In
souciance that he decided to be ae
deficient as she was.
After setting himself and his belongings
comfortably, he began tc
take inventory of the other occupants
of the car. A lackadaisical young
matron with her child, a boy, of two,
a heedless young nursemaid, and two
traveling men comprised the list.
"First call for dinner." suddenly
bawled a white-coated waiter.
Everyone but Claudia responded tc
the call, and Craig concluded she was
waiting until he should have dined
After an uncomfortable meal, be
sought the smoker. By the time he
had returned to his Bection, the last

can was rcuuiiiK luiuugu mv vw
but Claudia made no move. Fearing
absorption In her book had precluded
notice of the call, Craig called the
porter and bade him remind her that
the diner would soon leave the train
"I don't wish to dine, thank you.'
she replied to the porter's solicitous
suggestion.
Two or three hours later, Craig
noticed with concern that she looked
wan and pale
"Women never know when nor how
to eat," he thought Impatiently.
By this time Claudia and the young
matron, through the agency of the
child, had become acquainted, and

Buys a Basket of Fruit.
this gave Craig an Inspiration. Al
the next station he found an at
tractive fruit display. He purchased
a basket of luscious peaches anc
pears which he offered to the young
matron. She accepted It with appro
clatlve enthusiasm and immediately
offered to share it with Claudia. A
warm wave of color passed over th(
girl's face as she coldly refused the
fruit and ostentatiously returned tc
her perusal of the book. He wa?
chagrined to feel that her sole rea6or
for refusing it waB because he hac
purchased it
Presently a diner was again at
tached and the welcome first call o:
supper sounded. The young matror
went forward. admonishing th?
nursemaid to guard the child wh<
was sleeping peacefully on a pillow
rinnrttn still remained In her seat
watching wistfully the nursemaid whc
was fortifying herself by meanp ol
the fruit and a box of luncheon.
As Claudia passed her to get some
water, the maid extended the box.
"Have a sandwich," she urged
"and some fruit."
Claudia hesitated, eyed the boy
longingly, and then took a sandwich.
"Thank you. 1 don't care for any
fruit, however."
She ate with such apparent relish
that Craig gave up his idea that she
was fasting He got off at the next
stop for a moment and when he re
entered the Pullman be did so by the
rear door, occupying the section be
hind the nursemaid and the child
Claudia was apparently asleep
At the next station the nursemaid
asked him if he would mind keeping
an eye on the child as she wanted tc
get off to speak to some friends This
he promised to do. but when the trait
agnin pulled out the nurse did noi
reappear. In a few moments then
was a terrible jolt, a swaying, i
crash and then the train was sta
tlonmy. Claudia, who had beei
thrown to the floor by the shock, go
up and looked nround Craig wa
standing holding the boy aloft. Sin
came quickly down the aisle towan
him.

i 'Were you hurt, Claudia?" he
; asked anxiously,
i "No?the baby?"
"Ho didn't even awaken," he re'
plied, depositing the child on the seat.
"Will you look after him while I go
? to seo what was the matter?"
i He returned in a few moments.
"No one hurt," he reassured her.
; "We ran Into something. But the

That fact and the shock sus'
talned from the accident proved too
i much for the child's mother. She has
- quite collapsed. The diner got a
worse Jolt than we did."
"Then," she remarked reflectively,
I "It wasn't such a misfortune, after
- all, that I couldn't go Into the diner."
"Claudia," he began Impetuously,
i but the entrance of the young matron,
looking white and 111, precluded fur
I ther explanation. Claudia went to ber
assistance and helped her to bed In
the stateroom, while Craig devoted
himself to the child.
In half an hour Claudia returned.
"She Is asleep. I told her I?you?
we?would look after Bobby."
i "I shall need your help. He seems
I cross."
"I should think he would be. He
1 has had nothing to eat since noon!"
"You have been longer than that

? "And I, too?have been?crosB/'she
i admitted.
"Shall we take Bobby Into the

> "Yes, thank you, Craig. And?I am
sorry."
"We will make It past history, dear.
I Let us go Into the diner and forget
I It all."
f He ordered everything tempting on
the menu for Claud'a and himself,
while Bobby contentedly ate a cereal
and milk.
i "Will you tell me," demanded
Craig, "why you did not dine."
! She smiled archly.
I "You thought I was rasung iruui?
a broken heart? To be candid, as

had left my purse at home. My ticket

had expected to fast until then."
1 "And you wouldn't take even the
fruit because I had bought It! If It
badn't been for anxiety as to Bobby's
fate you wouldn't have relented when
the accident occurred."
She met his reproachful eyes
bravely.
"I didn't know you had Bobby," she
confessed, "until I had turned tocome
to you."
The Largest Tree.
What is declared to be the largest
tree in the world is the famous tule
; tree that stands in the churchyard at

tree Is 146 feet in circumference,
and although It was measured
more than 300 years ago It cannot be
seen that the tree Is making any
growth. Thousands of people visit
the tree each year. There Is no accurate
way by which Its great age can
be determined, but the best Judges
plr.ce it at several thousand years.

has the appearance of being diseased

QUEER DISEASE IS

Many Here Afflicted With Odd
Ailment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWSOME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT,
Many people In the United States art
afflicted with a queer disease, according
to a statement yesterday by Professoi
James M. Munyon. He made the following
remarkable and rather grewsomt
statement:
"Many persons who como and write t<
my headquarters ut 63d and Jeffcrsor
Sts., Philadelphia, Pa., think they art
suffering from a Blmpte stomach trouble
when In reality they are the victims ol
an entirely different disease?that n|
tape worm. These tape worms nro hugt
Internal parasites, which locate In tin
upper bowel and consume a large percentage
of the nutrlmert In undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
of forty to sixty feet. One may have i
tape worm for years and never know
the cause of his or her 111 health.
"Persons who nre suffering from ont
of these creatures become nervous, weak
and Irritable, and tire at the least exertion.
The tape worms rob one of ambition
and vitality and strength, but the)
are rarely fatal.
"The victim of this disease Is apt tc
believe that he is suffering from enronh
stomach trouble, and doctors for yeari
without relief. This Is not the fault ol
the physicians he consults, for there h
no absolute diagnosis that will tell post
tlvely that one Is not a victim of tap<
worm.
"Tho most common symptom of thh
trouble Is an abnormal appetite. Ai
times the person Is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At othei
times the very sight of food Is loathsome
There is a gnawing, faint sensation ai
tho pit of the stomach, and the vlrtlnr
has headaches, fits of dizziness and nnu
sea. He cannot sleep at night and oner
thinks he is suffering from nervous pros
tratlon.
"I have a treatment which has hac
wonderful success In eliminating thesi
great creatures from the system. In tin
course of Its regular action In aldlns
digestion, and ridding the blood, kldneyi
and liver of Impurities It has proven fata
to these great worms. If one has a tap*
worm, this treatment will, In nine casei
out of ten. stupefy and pass It away, bu
If not. the treatment Will rebuild tlx

j Jeholachln, his son, ascended th
J throne, a bad, weak boy, utterly unit
i to cope with the situation. His relgi
J lasted only three months. Upon Jt
holachln descended the full force o
' the divine vengeance Incurred b
r previous generations. He was sen reel
r on the throne when the Chaldeai
t forces, which had been ravaging Ji
1 dea, were joined by Nebuchadnezza
i himself, and closed around Jeruss

kept a prisoner In Habylon for 3

This was the second blow of dlvln
* Judgment, the beginning of the secon
captivity, when 10,000 people were cai
s ried captive to Babylon. Among ther

, and 7,000 that were strong and ap
i for war, and 1,000 craftsmen; and
large part of the 5,400 vessels of gol
and silver from the Temple and pa

was to remove out of the way all thos
who might be nble to organize a r<

dangerous to leave behind. It woul
