TRAIN KILLS "FARMER
SITTING ON CROSSTIE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6—When
President Wilson a few days ago par
doned a Texas banker who had been
sent to the penitentiary for violation
of the national banking laws, few
persons knew’ that he did so at the
request of his old bodyguard, "Silent
Bill” McDonald, who came all the way
from Dallas to lay the case before
him.
“Silent Bill” is now' United States
Marshal for the Northern District of
Texas, thanks to the President, and
one of his first duties was to take
the convicted banker to the peniten
tiary to serve a five-year term. On
the way the banker told his story to
“Bill,” and so impressed was the vet
eran ranger that he at once started
an investigation on his own account.
In the meantime friends of the
banker had succeeded in getting the
sentence reduced from five years to
a year and a day. But this did not
satisfy “Bill.” He had found that all
the man had told him was true, and
he did not hesitate to say that no in
nocent man was going to stay in the
penitentiary if he could help it. His
friends said he was foolish to proceed
any further, as everything possible
had been done.
“No, it hasn’t,” said "Bill.” “I’ll pay
my own fare to Washington and lay
this case before the .President rather
than see an innocent man do time In
the pententlary. I know the man is
innocent, and I won’t rest until he is
freed.”
So ‘'Bill” packed his suit case and
started for Washington, armed with
the papers in the case.
On his arrival here he went at once
to the Department of Justice, where
he was told that nothing further
could be done for the banker. “Weil,
we’ll see about that," said “Bill.”
"Bill” saw’ the President and the
next day the banker wa.s pardoned.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—Stephen F.
Oarlock’s determination to expose an
alleged conspiracy between his wife
of the flesh, Mary, and the material
ized spirit of his first wife was re
vealed when he started an action for
a divorce to-day. He is 69 years old
and a Civil War veteran.
His principal charge is* that his wife
Inveigled him into a splrituallstio se
ance and there called up the spirit of
his dead wife, who advised him to
transfer his real estate to the living
wife.
The petition does not set out in
detail all that transpired at the se
ance. It recites that when he re
fused to Mlgn away his property as
directed by the spirit of his first wife,
the second wife, in the presence of all
the real and materialized spirits,
called him "an uneducated, unrefined
and ignorant damned fool,” causing
him great humiliation.
It was through the influence of a
daughter by his first marriage that h *
was prevented from signing the deed,
according to Mr. Garlock.

GIRLS! BEAUTIFUL CHARMING HAIR,
25 CENT
jTry this! Doubles beauty of
your hair and stops it
falling out.
Your hair becomes light, wavy,
fluffy, abundant and appears as
soft, lustrous and beautiful as a
young girl’s after a “Danderine
hair cleanse." Just try this—
moisten a cloth with a little Dan
derine and carefully draw It
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt and excessive
oil and in Just a few moments you
have doubled the beauty of your
hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolves every
particle of dandruff; cleanses, puri
fies and invigorates the scalp, for
ever stopping itching and falling
hair.
But what will please you most
will be after a few weeks’ use when
you will actually see new hair—fine
and downy at first—yes—but really
new hair growing all over the scalp.
If you care for pretty, soft hair and
lots of it, surely get a 25 cent bot
tle of Knowlton’s Danderine from
any druggist or toilet counter, and
just try it.
