JUST ALARM CLOCKS
Chicago Merchant Ruahea Into Street
Shouting “Help!”—Followed by Big
Crowd He Deacenda on Police Sta-
tion In Terror.
Chicago.—Isaac Korgodsky emitted
a wild whoop and fled. Out of his dry
goods store at 935 West Tweffth street
he rushed and behind him came his
family in full flight. There was no
time for talk, for explanations. Isaac
Korgodsky dashed on, and when he
met a man or woman he esteemed he
gave him or her a violent shove and
shouted “Help!" On the counter In
Korgodsky’s store was a «ma.ll pack-
age. It ticked. It was—it was a
bomb!
There were fully fifty people fleeing
with Isaac now. They descended upon
the Maxwell street police station.
The Maxwell street police sergeant
is used to many things. If a pink
Philooloolu bird should enter the Max-
well street police station and say, "A
regiment of Somali troopers is about
to advance upon Isaac Korgodsky’s
dry goods store," the sergeant would
reach for his pencil and make a note
of it
So when Isaac himself appeared
with his procession of wildly excited
relatives and friends the sergeant in-
quired, "What’s up?"
A bomb—a bomb!** said hniin
breathlessly.
"You don’t Bay," returned the ser-
geant, exhibiting a slight degree of
interest in the possibilities. “Where?"
He was told.
“A man came running into my
store," explained Korgodsky. "He was
a funny man. He carried a bundle.
He sees me and says, ‘Here’ and he
gives me the bundle and runs away
again. I put the bundle on the count-
er—like this—and my family and me
goes upstairs. Tfhen we begin to hear
funny noises—ticks and buzzings. My
wife says: 'Isaac—<t’s the bundle.
It’s got a bomb inside ft. Sure enough,
it was. So we ran out.*
Before he had concluded there were
three policemen at his elbow. They
returned cautiously to the store in a
patrol wagon. The police saw the bun-
dle as described and approached It

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- . V
etahle Compound*
Euphemia, Ohio.—“Because of total
Ignorance of bow to care for myself
when verging into womanhood, and from
taking cold when going to school, I suf-
fered from a displacement, and each
month I had severe pains nausea
which always meant a lay-off from work
for two to four days from the time I
was 16 years old.
4,41 went to Kansas to live with my sis-
ter and while there a doctor told me of
the Piakham remedies but I did not use
them then as my faith in patent medi-
cines was limited. After my sister died
I came home to Ohio to live and that
has been my home for theiast 18 years. '
** "TheChangeof Life came when I was
47 years old and about this time I saw
my physical condition plainly described
In one of your advertisements. Then I
began using Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Compound and I cannot tell you
or any one the relief it gave me in the
first three months, it put me right
where I need not lay off every month
and during the last 18 years I have not
paid out two dollars to a doctor, and have
been blest with excellent health for awo-
womaaof my age and I«»»thanlr Lydia
EL Pinkham 'aVegetable Compound for it.
“Sinco the Change of Life is over I
have been a maternity nurse and being
wholly self-supporting I cannot over
estimate the value of good health. I
have now earned a comfortable little
home Just by sewing and nursing. I
have recommended the Compound to
many with good results, as it is excel-
lent to take before and after child-
birth."—Miss Evelyn Aprija Stew-

Why He Objected.
A parson and a leading parishioner
were not on good terms, and there
was much speculation in the village
aa to the reason.
"It's all on account of parson re-
fusing to christen master’s youngest
child,” the housemaid confided to -her
friend of the dusting brush at the
house across the way. "Master want-
ed her to be named Dora Ruby Inez

n't do if
"It was like parson’s cheek," replied
her friend, "even If he was asked to
give the child a hundred names."
"Ob, it wasn’t the number of names
which bothered him," returned the
servant. "He objected to the Initials,

with due regard. They pounced upon
it suddenly and tore its wrapper from
it. A half dozen alarm clocks rolled
out. The sergeant at the Maxwell
station reached for his pencil as
the police returned.
“Any one killed?’’ he inquired in-
terestedly.
“No, alarm clocks,” - retorted the
cops. "Somebody stole a bunch of
them and got cold feet and palmed
them off on Korgodsky.”
DOG KIDNAPS TWO KITTENS
Mother Cat, Fleeing From Insect Pow-
der, Encounters Fresh Trouble_
Gets Family Back.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Muffy, a tabby cat
at the home of Carl P. Meyran of Los
Angeles, Cal., made a move several
days ago wnlch resulted In the kid-
naping of hyr family, two blue-eyed
kittens, by «. little fox terrier dog.
Muff prefers to bring up her family ac-
cording to her own ideas, and refeents
any interference, no matter how good
one’s intentions may be.
Neither does she take any stock in
those new-fangled ideas of sanitation;
so when a neighbor deigned to Bprln-
kle flea powder on her offspring she
moved them to a new home. This
came very near being the undoing of
Muffy, for no sooner had she settled
in the new place than along came the
little fox terrier, who, having no fam-
ily, took the kittens.
Muffy was frantic until someone
found and restored her family to her,
but the fox terrier still takes an inter
eat In the pair and Muffy tolerates
him.
FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect.
No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse in Pa^
writes: “I used to drink strong cof-
fee myself, and suffered greatly from
eadaches and indigestion.
“While on a visit to my brothers I
had a good chance to try Postum, for
they drank it altogether in place of
coffee. After using Postum two weeks
I found I was much benefited and
finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion. *
’Naturally I have Mnce used Postum
among my patientb^ nd have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has
been left off and Postum used.
“I observe a curious fact about
Postum when used by mothers- It
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is Inclined to dry it
up, and where tea causes nervousness.
“I find trouble In getting servants
to make Postum properly. But when
It is prepared according to directions
on package and served hot with
cream, it is certainly a delicious bev-
erage.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to
Wellville,” in pkgs.
Postum comes In two forms:
Regular Postum—must he .wen
boiled. 15c and 20c packages.
Instant Postum—Isa soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, made a delicious beverage In-
stantly. 30c and 50c tins.

If ATS elaborate and rich enough to |
LI grace the smartest of occasions
are shown in the pretty group pictured
here. One of them came from that
celebrated woman among French de-
signers to whom some excellent judges
of millinery would hand the blue rib-
bon if a contest for supremacy were
on.
This delightful and novel headpiece
from Madame Georgette is a rather
small hat with narrow drooping brim
of velvet. The odd crown is like a
fan, supported at the left side by a
band which narrows to the right until
it almost disappears. The crown is
made of overlapping strips of a fancy
braid and might be effectively man-
aged with velvet or other ribbon.
At the front a tall fancy feather of
ostrich and chenille makes a decora-
tion full of dash. The hat Is worn at
a saucy tilt but Its lines are so well
managed that nothing of its elegance
is lost.
Entirely different in character is the
picturesque and exquisite brimmed hat
which first came to the eyes of woman-
kind in a New York establishment. It
cannot suffer by comparison even with
so good an example of French art as
the Georgette turban.
The shape has a round crown of
moderate size and a brim with slight
curves in the edge. The hat is in
white and black, the top crown a rich
brocade in raised flowers on a satin
ground. Very handsome ribbon, with
pivot edge of silver, is draped about
the side crown. The brim is of white
faced with black velvet. A very un-
usual ostrich fancy feather with jet
stem and ornament is posed on the
brim, two of the pompon-like ends
near the front and the remaining one
at the side.
The third hat is plainer but is a rich
and elegant model depending upon its
unusual outlines and richness of ma-
terials for the distinction that fixes its
class. It is of deep sapphire velvet
trimmed with pilage collar and the
handsomest of shaded ostrich plumes.
This is also the creation of an Ameri-
can designer, which goes to prove that
we can do very well by relying upon
the talent of our own millinery design-
ers whether native born or imported.
Any of these delightful hats might
be made up In other colors than those
described here. If the color har-
monies are well thought out replicas
of them will lose nothing in beauty.

Ilf HEN entire costumes made of
™ plush first appeared they made a
strong appeal on the score of novelty,
but seemed somewhat heavy. Manu-
facturers have improved the quality
of the new plushes or “fur cloths”
for making suits and costumes by
making them lighter In weight, more
supple and handsomer than ever.
Some of them are marvelously faith-
ful copies of certain furs, as broad-
tail and mole. They are made In a
greater number of colors than in for-
mer seasons and there is no doubt of
their success in entire costumes.
In any representative display of
suits and costumes those models em-
ploying fur cloth are found combined
with plain smooth-surfaced cloths.
Occasionally contrasting colors are
used but much oftener the two cloths
are of exactly the same shade. The
rich but sedate colors, fashionable
for the coming season, play into the
hands of those who are introducing
fur cloths In entire costumes. But
the most attractive cf all the new
models are those in which smooth-
faced cloths and fur cloths are used
together.
In combinations of this kind plain
skirts of broadcloth with very wide
borders of fur cloth are worn with
skirted coats in which the two fabrics
are cleverly worked up together.
Fur cloths are as well adapted to
millinery as to costumes and are
made up into toques and turbans.
They are utilized in muffs and neck-
pieces and in coats for little chil-
dren. In these particular directions
they have been considerably exploit-
ed. But In costumes only the begin-
ning of their story has been told;
we may expect to see its splendid de-
velopment as the winter season ad-
vances.
