1 In New York the other day a sin
gular thing happened, showing how
powerful in our lives may be a mere
trace upon the mind of something
i far away in time. A young fellow
rendered desperate by hunger aftor
long unemployment and days without
a cent/ walked into an A. and P.
store, aimed a pistol at the manager
and demanded money. Hut the man
ager had grit and refused to obey.
As the would be bandit found him
self challenged actually to shoot there
rose before his memory the picture of
his father's dead body shot to deatn
by a roadside robber ten years prev
iously. Instantly it paralysed his will
to shoot. He hesitated, btgan to
grow appalled at the idea of what
he had been about to do, then turned
and fled.
They caught him, however, and he
then explained his queer behavior.
Search of the recoifds showed his
story to be correct. His father had
been killed, as he said, when he was
himself only nine years old. Yet
there remained -in the recesses of
memory many years afterward a
child's shocked and awed impression
of the grevious thing a robber's pistol
might do. This impalpable, long
buried item in mental storage sud
denly came forth to cancel a hunger
driven purpose and arrest the levelled
arm. It tbok the grown man by sur
prise, shook him from his aim and
sent him into headlong flight as if
from a horrible nightmare. It saved
him from committing a capital crime.

no relief until I took your Pellagra

BETTER FALL BUSINESS
Report Says Trade and Industrial Ad.
vices Point to Quickening
Bradstreet's on Saturday said:
Trade and industrial advices point
to a further quickening1 of fall trado
activities. Retail trade in the north
ern half of the country has felt the
stimulus given by rains followed by
lower temperatures, light to killing
frosts being noted in fairly ' wide
areas.
Wholesale and jobbing trade has
quickened further and the industrial
pace has also speeded up a little.
In parts of the southwest and
pretty generally in the1 southeast,
however, there is still complaint that
high temperatures have held back
trade, while partial relief from the
drought by showers has not made'
much difference as yet in stream
flow, the paucity of which keeps
down industrial operations in the
Southern Appalachian slopes.
Some of the reports from Northern
Georgia this week equal in serious
ness the advices from parts of Texas
earlier in the year as to the injury
to leading crops, ami especially cot
ton.
Residents of Fredericktown, Mis
souri, are pumping gasoline from
their wells instead of water. This
combustible fluid is pure enough to
be used in automobiles just as it
conies from the earth, after straining
out the sediment.
