land land and nearly a score of ships
will revert to the convict If he can
prove his claim. Two Chicago women,
Mrs. Minnie Smith and Mrs. Ella Gard
ner of 1022 Sedgwick street, may con
test his right He brands them both
Impostors. .
Revealed His True Name.
Under the stigma of conviction as a
horse thief the convict has drudged In
the quarries and kept his secret He
gave his name on arrest as Edmund
Morris. The other day he declared
himself and the story he told his law
yer seemed like a tile from Victor

my mother's surname. Later she mar
ried W. S. Stratton of Colorado
Springs, who died ten years ago. Bo
land and my mother also are dead.
"My mother's share in the estate
would have aggregated between $40,
000,000 and $50,000,000. That Is what
I want"
The claimant was convicted of horse
stealing In 1895 and was sent to Jo
llet from Kankakee County to serve
from one to fourteen years.

Just after the marriage license bad
been Issued to Dermer, however, Leg
ler appeared and Immediately put tn a
claim for his promised wife. The

as a means of settling the controversy.

CUSTOM OF SHAKING HANDS
Display of Friendly Feeling Origin
ated wnen Men Were In Hsfblt of
Carrying 8words.
Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with persons whom you
Know i were is tfie reason:
In the old days, when every man
who had any pretensions to being a
gentleman carried a sword, it was the
custom for men when they. met. to
show that they had no Intention of
treachery to offer each other their
weapon hands that Is, the hand that
would be used to draw the sword, and
to withhold the hand was usually the
signal for a fight
So fixed did this habit become that
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to
a friend and declined to offer It to an
enemy. To this day' when yo(i refuse
to shake hands with a person It signi
fies that you are at war. Among
savages, who never carried .swords,
the practice of shaking hands is un
known, and It affords them amusement
to see the white men do it
Combination Picture.
.Have you ever made a combination
picture? It's a splendid wt.y to put
in these long winter evenings. "A
cluster of babies" makes a good sub
ject for the girls, and "Football fa
vorites" will do for the boys. The
pictures can be clipped from the
newspapers and the magazines. After
the girls have a large collection of
baby faces the pictures must be neat
ly trimmed and pasted on a big sheet
of paper so that the effect will be
that of a hundred or more babies
looking out of a window frame. Some
are crying, some a,re smiling and
some look pert and saucy. If you are
fond of birds, make a combination
picture of them, or you can have a
flower garden If you wish. Gathering
pictures of public men is a good plan,
too, for It familiarizes one with cele
brated faces.
How She Caught It.
A little four-year-old went to Sunday
school for the first time and heard
tbe children singing: "Once I tint
blind but now I can see." That sPer
Doon her sister heard her sing: "One

A high school boy who had failed In

Stimulate
Children?
Ask your doctor how often
he prescribes an alcoholic
stimulant for children. He
will probably say, "Very,
very rarely." Ask him how
often he prescribes a tonic for
them. He will probably an
swer, "Very, very frequently."
Then ask him about Ayer's
Sarsapaillla as a strong and
safe tonic for the young. Not
a drop of alcohol in it.
Always keep a box of Ayer's Pills in the
house. Just one pill st bedtime, now snd
then, will ward off many sn attack of
biliousness, indigestion, sick-headache.
How many years has your doctor known
these pills? Ask him all about them.
