'’Daughter,” said the anxious father to the eldest daughter of a brood of seven, “ our mother tells me that you havt had a proposal.” “Yes, father, I have,” demurely re plied the young woman. “In fact, I have received several.” ” T hear the ice man proposed to •yo .?” ’He did.” "And you accepted him, of course?” “I did not.” "Unwise child! Think of the money he coins every summer!” ‘‘The plumber also proposed.” ‘Ah! That is better. A man of untold wealth garnered every winter. Beyond doubt you told him ‘yes!’” ‘‘No, father.’ “Wha-a-a-t? Do you mean to tell me you let so golden an opportunity slip by ungrasped?” “Yes, father. You see, I accepted a man who sells ice in summer and is a plumber in winter.” “Ah, daughter! Fly to my a: ms! Yon make me weep with pride!” Sanctimonious Penny. Jerome S. McWade, the millionaire collector of Duluth, was appealing on the Mauretania for a seaman’s fund. “Let the collection be generous,” he said. “We want none of the penny and quarter parable here.” A penny and a quarter, side by side in a pocket, fell into conversation. “I’m worth 25 of you,” said the quar ter haughtily. “That’s true,” replied the humble penny, “but in one respect, sir, I’m superior to yourself.” “Pshaw; how so?” said the quar ter. “I go to church, sir, far, far oftener than you.” replied the penny.

How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hu*gry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are— Indigestion and its accompanying mis , eries. A Phila. lady said: “My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee —feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part ot the time, for work or pleasure.

WOMAN CONFESSES SLAYiNG HUSBAND Albert Patzer of Synco Killed Because of Quarrels. MET DEATH AT DINNER TABLE Woman Was Suspected Despite Her, Dramatic Story of Strange Assailant —Arres ed Alter Attending Funeral W.th Twelve Chi.dren. * Manawa. —Mrs. Albeit Pat2.er, whose husband was murdered at the dinner table in his home at Symco, an inland town near here, has con fess dto the slaying. She was taken into custody immediately after the funeral. “1 could not bear to live with him any more and be a party to bitter quarrels every day,” said Mrs. Pat zer. ”1 crept up behind him as he was eating the meal I had prepared and struck him down. There had been no murder in my heart while I pre pared the meal. But after 1 returned to the kitchen and began to think, I was seized with an overpowering de sire to free myself. After I had killed him I straightened him up in his chair at the table and washed the blood from the floor. Then I burned the stick of stove wood which 1 had used and called the neighbors.” Mrs. Patzer told a dramatic story to explain the murder when she sum moned physicians to her aid. She said she was in the kitchen and heard sounds of a struggle. She rushed into the room in time to catch a fleeting glimpse 01' a strange man going out of the door, she said, and found her husband upon the floor, blood streaming from his head. He had been struck from behind with a blunt instrument. When her story had been told a posse was formed and farmers joined in the search for the murderer. Suspicion rested upon Mrs. Patzer, but her apparent grief when attending the funeral accompanied by her twelve children changed the feeling of the neighbors to sympathy and her arrest and confession has caused a sensation.
