Inactf livei "I have ii.id trouble with an Inactive liver," wrote Mrs. S. Nichols, of 4412 Spencer St., Houston, Texas. "When I would get constipated, I would ftel a light, diz/.y feeling in my head. To-get up in the morning' with a lightness in the head and a trembly feeling is often a sign that the stomach is out of order. For this 1 took Thtdford't Black* Draught, and without a doubt can say 1 have never, found its equal in any liver medicine.

Alf didn't get (Vied; ho just got tired. Ho told a very interesting story about darkies going north, throwing in there and here some vivid touches of his personal experiences that some of these labor propagandists that are roitig about in this section, painting ip the northern cities to the colored icople as a land Mowing with milk tnd honey, ought to hear. Alf and his wife and two, children left last winter for Pittsburgh, where ho was employed to Are the boiler in a big brick manufacturing plant. About the same time some eighteen or twenty other colored people left this section for the same city. Alf, it seems, got the best paying job of any of them. He secured a room? just one room for himself and family to live in, which had lights and partial heat furnished, for which he paid five dollars per week. This lodging was considerable distance from the brick factory and it cost him exactly $4.12 per week to come and go on street oars. Foodstuffs, Alf says, are high in Pittsburgh, he said today he has seen one tomato sell for 25 eenti.

Higheut Enjoyment In th# In* flktion pf Suffering, and Not B.*ayt in Battle., During the period of tho Spanish rink In our West ? It became, actually, uq Indian risk -Indians killed nearly three hundred wldte men, wome/i and children, and wasted, burned and de stroyed a mil I Ion. dollars In properties. They were, tnore than anything else* destructive ; they * l^ved excitement; and what they preferred above all was running off the live stock of a cara van; then they could get some fresh meat and horses und till the remaining horses and cattle wltk arrows, shoot them at point-blank range with old Arelock fusee. The Jlcarlllaa were drunken pottery turnen ; the Utes were the beat armed of all the local tribes, they were au'? perlor In war ahd hunting. Hut their war making wan peculiar, and highly reasonable, In that they Insisted on every circumstance favorable to them selves. Falling this they wouldn't tight 1 For attack they preferred the passage of the late moon;, ant} it was their pleasure to happen on some de tached woodchoppors, a lonely mes senger or a small party of wagons in a narrow canyon, ' Occasions like those gave their sense of humor and ingenuity full play ; If they were In a hurry the mur dering would be swift, the scalps se cured without ceremony; but when the situation whs safe they lingered over preliminaries and refinements. It was their ambition to lay bare terror and uncover pain, and their inventive fac ulties were endless; there would be more premonitory touches of steel and flame, little whisperings of torment, the feathery edge of agony, an eter nlty of hours before the blackened end. The Indian regarded this as nor mal, an end to be avoided, of course, but faced with the Inevitable, they ac | cepted It In the Image of men of stone. rThe (objections, the tenderness of the white race, seemed, to them wholly un reasonable; the cries and expostula tions they must have regarded as no less comic than contemptible. ? Vanity both In conduct and appear ance was the mark of a proper mascu line carriage; the uieu rather tJian the women' painted ; they eradicated every hair from their beards and eyelashes and eyebrows, and, slitting their ears to hold pendants, hnng beads to the weight of half a pound from each. For fhe rest, they wore breech clouts, moc casins and legglns of stroudlng, and a rug; they wove their hair with gum and paint, trinkets and feathers; and. at war, coated their faces with char coal. The bows they carried were three and four feet Ion#, made of elastic wood, elks' horns, or, more Infre quently, of huflfalo rlhs, but bone was Inferior to the bols d'are wrapped and lined with sinew. They carried, as well, lances, the Inevitable scalping knives ? In the Southwest there were no tomahawks ? and shields of elk hide painted with the signs of the ene mies they had killed. At peace In their villages the shields, and sheafs of plpestems wrapped In red and blue cloths, were hung on tripods- before the lodges of buffalo hide rubbed soft with the brains of that Indispensable animal ? a buffsk) liver dipped In gall they con sidered the greatest of delicacies ? and there, to a little drum and a squeaking pipe, they Indulged In danees of n most humorous obscenity; i here they were domestic. Solemnly they slapped their naked and solemn sons, and varied the smok ing of their formal and Informal pipes by the food with which they literally stuffed themselves. In their philosophy j and existence, In their fate, there was | no tomorrow. ? Joseph Hergeshelmer I in the Saturday Kvenlng Post. Fooling the Bugs.

Fashionably Dressed Thief Loot ed Many Houses Befo?e H.0 Was Finally Trapped. Paris, ? Paris bo^st* of a "gentleman burglar" in the person of one Serge Henri Louis de Leuz, a young man of good family, fashiouuhle appearance and extravagant tastes, but with. de generate tendencles^and a long Crimi nal record. His trial, however, rubbed off most of (be glamour of his career as a gentleman, if not us a master of his profession. Leu as' Is thirty years old anil is the son of a former director of the Kranco ItUsslan bank. He lived a good deal of the time with his parents In the sub urb of Neuilly while pursuing without their knowledge his double existence In Paris as a man of the world and a house-breaker. lie was educated at the Carnot Ly ceuni and the Purls School of Electric ity, Hefore the war he served In the cavalry, but was discharged ? as unflt because of frequent attacks of hys teria. In 1014 'he enlisted In the mili tary supply train as a camion driver. He soon deserted, however, and, hav ing also been accused of theft, was transferred after arrest to an African battalion. He asked to be sent to the front and behaved creditably there for a while, obtaining two citations for bravery. Hut once more he deserted. He wus again arrested and was put into tfie non-combatant forces. Three Time? ji Deserted. ' He deserted a third time and was thrown out of the array. In November, 18'JO, he was sentenced to two years' Imprisonment for burglary, but was soon released under the general 'am nesty. Since then it is estimated that he has committed 85 robberies, 23 of them involving house-hreaklng. He operated almost exclusively be tween noon and .l p. m., when most of the apnrtment house concierges are at meals. He was always stylishly dressed and carried his tools In a small bag something like a-brlef case. He stole only articles of little weight and high value. Leu 7. was, caught a few weeks ago through the vigilance of a concierge. She suw a young man with a limp en ter th?? house, but asked no questions, mistaking him for the son of the own er. Presently he came o6t again, bag in hand; She halted him. "You don't know whom you are talk ing to," he said contemptuously. Hut she Insisted on an explanation. "I am a wounded soldier," he went on| more ingratiatingly. "1 Just stepped in here to rearrange my brace. I didn't think It was necessary to ring at your ofllee." , , Trapped by Janltreas. He then limped away und entered a neighboring house. The Janltress be came suspicious and followed him. She told the other concierge to go for a policeman while she detained the stronger. "Here is a thousand franc note for you," the latter said, becoming alarmed. The concierge refused it. "Have pity on me,", he pleaded, "I have a sick mother." The second concierge appeared with the officer, who arrested Serge. At th? police station they found that he car ried a complete burglar's kit. He con fessed and even furnished the police with a full list of his robberies. He valued the articles which he had stolen at 2.<X)0.000 francs, but said that he had realized very little on those he sold through stolen goods receivers. At his trial it was brought out that he had had a passion for stealing since early youth. He had robbed his school l mates. He had. been arrested four times before the war for theft,- and seven times In all before the two I concierges trapped him. I?euz made the claim that .he com J mitted his crimes while under the in fluence of drugs. Put the physicians who examined him declared him to be completel v responsible.
