Mrs. Will Cothrin proves herself one
of those too few wise mothers who be
lieve in making home the very dearest
place on earth for their children, par
ticularly thr ir boys, and by so binding
them with love to their own hearth that
the thought of seeking outside pleasures
and possibly hurtful companions, is the
remotest from their minds. Instead of
stopping this plan because it turns
things topsy-turvy, or interfering in
that pleasure because it is a waste of
time, no trouble seems to be too great
for Mrs. Cothrin, if only she can make
happiness in his home for her son and
his friends, and evidently with this end
in view she has done a great deal to
ward the entertainment of the young
people.
The last affair on Wednesday evening
last was a dancing party, and the
house was arranged and decorated ac
cordingly. Nothing else than the holly
berry would have been In order at this
season, and it was naturally expected
that red would predominate, and It did
—holly berries here, there, and every
where, making the house beautiful and
warm and hospitable-looking, and
just enough mistletoe to make lots of
fun and keep the ball scrolling. In
stead of the conventional potted palms,
a dazzling be-tinseled Christmas tree
screened the staircase, making a very
unique and original effect in the way of
decoration. Dancing was indulged in
till a late hour, when the indefatigable
merry-makers wound up their Christ
mas gayeties with the old-fashioned
"Virginia reel.

THAT TURKEY CASE
Humane Officer Healy and tbe Tur
key Owner Have a Squabble.
Frank Byron was arraigned in the
City Justice's Court yesterday on a
charge of cruelty to animals. Byron
I had been arrested by Special Officer
Healy of the Humane Society, and the
! complaint set forth that he had kept
I a number of turkeys in a coop too
small for their comfort.
I Byron entered a plea of not guilty,
' and requested Justice Anderson to
view the turkeys and the ccop in which
they were kept, and then judge whether
or not they were crowded.
Justice Anderson, however, did not
want to see the turkeys, but suggested
that the arresting officer take a look
at It and report. The case was con
tinued until Tuesday next.
Then Healy, Byron and J. N. Payne,
i another Humane Society officer, went
down stairs, and in just seven minutes
from the time they left the courtroom
they returned, and Healy was arraigned
on a charge of disturbing Byron's
peace. The trial was short, sharp and
decisive, and in ten minutes after the
complaint was read Judge Anderson
declared Healy guilty and ordered him
to appear for sentence next Wednesday
morning.
i From the evidence it appeared that
when the parties went down stairs the
turkeys had not yet arrived, and that
Healy, calling to Byron, told him that
'if the turkeys were brought and were
'In the same condition as they were the
day before he would rearrest him.
Byron replied that the turkeys were
! not overcrowded, and said that Healy
had not been close enough to the coop
to ascertain whether they were or not.
Whereupon Healy called Byron a
liar, and the latter retaliated by de
: manding a complaint charging him
1 with disturbing his peace. He made it
j stick.
Geiger Examination Continued.
The case of August Geiger, charged
| with the murder of George C. Smith,
a 12-year-old boy, was called in the
: City Justice's Court yesterday morninfi
i and by consent the preliminary ex
' amination went over until Saturday
. next. It is probable that- a further
; continuance will be taken, owing to the
j poor health of Mrs. Geiger, who is an
j important witness.
INTENSE SUFFERING
j FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cared
by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. .
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent Medi
cine.
Dr. Redwell relates an interesting ac
count of what he considers a remark
; able case of acute stomach trouble and
; chronic dyspepsia by the use of the
i new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
! lets.
He says: "The patient was a man
who had suffered, to my knowledge, for
| years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases in
i the stomach. He had pains like rheu
; mat ism in the back, shoulder-blades
' and limbs, fullness and distress after
j eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh;
■ the heart became affected, causing pal
pitation and sleeples&ness at night.
| "I gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
As an experiment I Anally bought a
50-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
"There was no more acidity or sour,
I watery risings, no bloating after meals,
! the appetite was vigorous, and he has
; gained between ten and twelve pounds
'in weight of solid, healthy flesh.
"Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores,
yet I consider them a most valuable
addition to any physician's line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or in
valids or in any condition of the stom
ach with perfect safety, being harm
less and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
"Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges
j tion, constipation and all
, derangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe."
I Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the F. A. Stuart Co. of Marshall,
Mich., and are sold by druggists every
where at 50 cents per package.
