‘'^Rochester, N, Y.—One of the
forest feats of the Hindu mystic,
ill believed unduplicated in this
tWUntry, is that performed by War
ton Smith.
f$|j|u3ttt. a modest, unassuming lad
bf1 eighteen, has acquired, through
tllpp study of the occult, he
s, the ability to withdraw the
from any part of hir. body,
till without the least pain calmly
®a six inch hat pin through
checks. No blood follows the
Withdrawal of the implement.
•jjhe secret of how the with
Idrawal of blood is accomplished is
[closed to Smith and the world at
large. Concentration is his only
method. Smith claims there are hut
three men doing this feat, till of
them Orientals.
With Spring-beaming its evi
dence on every hand and the
Fourth of July already making its
demands on the anticipation of the
juvenile population, invitations to
the annual Christmas party of
Meggido Mission art* in the mail.
The rest of the World is sadly
out of step when it . celebrates
Christmas on pecember 25, mem
bers of the sect explain. The
proper time for the fete is now
they insist. They base their cele
bration on the assumption that

^ Rulers of two nations have sent
i little twelve year old Effie Ingra
ham if Horne!! their appreciation
of her verses. Heralded as a
prod'gv. and lacking the wealth

fortunate children, Effie lias re
ceived letter of praise from Presi

Marie of Roumania.
Her first attempt was in a con

Forty scientific and plain oidi
nary fishermen, composing the Fly
and Casting club of the Isaak
Walton league, have organized to
better their tactics against the!
finny denizens of the waters about
Rochester.
The first lesson took the form of j
an impromptu easting contest on a 1
wooden surfaced pond, where ex-!
perts in the delicate art showed ,
their tricks to those who wished to j
woo the crafty trout with some- j
thing approaching skill.
The claim has been advanced by
Dr. J. E. Crofts man of Canisto that
more than fifty per cent of the
school girls in that town have
goiter in its incipient stages.
The medico holds that this
community is no exception in the
number of cases, claiming that
many Western New York com
munities will show an alarming
increase in the disease.

There’s a nuv love tangle in i
the famous Candler family of At
lanta, Ga.—the same family which
has produced a 1 oted bishop, a
manufacturer of soft drinks worth
many millions, and a justice of the.
supreme court—not to mention a
succession of matrimonial tangles
and costly damage suits.
A man of the Cardler clan is
suing his wife for a divorce. lie
makes sensational charges alleging
that his mate is a believer in “free
love*”
The Candler family melodrama
began 35 years ago when the sen
ior Asa G. Candler, then a poor
druggist’s clerk, corked his first
bottle of non-nleoholic liquid and
left it to stand overnight prior to
opening it and trying out its
“kick.”
Asa G. Candler became many
times a millionaire—-all from his
new soft drink.
Then—a little less than four
years ago—things began to hap
pen. The hard luck of the “Can
dler boys” in the realm of the af
j fections struck its first blow.
The first blast to the family’s
peace and happiness came when
the wife of Walter T. Candler,
second ■ on of the millionaire cap
italist and philanthropist, left her
Ini -hand after constant disagree
ment.‘a
Walter took with him to K't
rop hi; friends, < lyde K. Byfield,
: n automobile dealer of Atlanta,
end By field’s yon nr a'd pretty
bride, .Mrs. Sarah By field . When
the boat docked in America on
their return Mrs. Byfield brought
suit against. Candler for $100,000,
charging that he attacked her.
It developed at the trial that fol
lowed that Candler had given By
field a note of settlement of $21.500
in addition to $4,500 in cash, but
had attempted to prevent payment
of the note. After a trial of con
siderable sensationalism, a judge
ment favoring Candler was return
ed. Later Candler was obliged by
a Georgia court to pay the note,
which he did. Appeals were taken
on the $100,000 suit, but develop
ed nothing further.
The manner in which Walter
Candler’s wife, although estrang
ed. stood by him during the Bv
field difficulty is said to have
touched a warm spot in Asa G.
Candler’s heart. He played the
part of Cupid in negotiations
which resulted in the reconcilia
tion of Walter and his wife. This
reunion is said to have caused
somewhat of a change in Asa
Candler’s will in favor of Walter
land his wife.
With Walter once more out of
trouble and in a happy home, Asa
Candler found new health and en
thusiasm in life. He plunged into
polities, banking, and philan
thropies with new zest. Then came
another blow. A woman known to
Asa Candler, he said, rys a worker
for the Red Cross appeared in his
office. In a few minutes aouaa
unknown to Candler Entered and
hinted at “compromising posi
tions” and "nice fixes.” Tin? wo
man demanded protection money.
The man and woman were sent to
prison as black mailers, and Can
dler breathed easier again.
But his rtst was short lived. He
fell in love with Mrs. Onezima De
Bouchel, member of an old New
Orleans family, and famed as a
beauty. He announced their en
gagement—then thought it all
over and broke it. Mrs, DeBouehel
brought suit for $500,000 heart
balm. Candler contested it and
succeeded in winning a verdict.
A few months later Candler
married the pretty stenographer
in his own office. Ten months
I later tliey separated after Mrs.
: Candler had been arrested in a
! police raid on a “dive." After a
year of bickering and threatened
: divorces, Candler was reunited
! with his estranged wife.—At last,
it seemed the family’s love trou
| hies were all over, until——
Out of a clear sky Bishop War
ren A. Candler’s son, John C.
Candler, brought suit the other
i day against his wife, Henrietta
Hammond Candler, charging her
with being a believer in ‘free love.’
Now the Candlers are facing a
suit that is expected to be more
bitter than any before. Efforts of
Bishop Candler and others of the
family to restore peace have fail
ed. John C. Candler goes right on

“where savings are greatest"
—MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING—
SHELBY, N. C.
Thursday,
April 14—the
Natal Day
Twenty-five years
ago on the 14th day of
April, Mr. James C.
Penney started a gen
eral dry goods store in
a small mining camp in
the mountains of Wy
oming. There was
nothing pretentious
about this little retail
shop; Mr. Penney had the
urgent needs of the pres
ent to think &bout rather
, than spending his time in
visioning the future.
There was something
different about that lit
tle store. There was
ever present the gra
cious smile, the desire
to give helpful service
to every customer, the
insistence that everybody
passing through its dcor
should have a square deal
and at least 100 cents*
worth for every dollar.
Diligent application,
hard work, study, con
stantly improving ser
vice—these were some
of the outstanding fac
tors which soon won
favor for Mr. Penney’s
little retail shop and
caused him to plan other
stores where his kind of
storekeeping could be en
joyed by greater numbers
of people.
Thursday of this
week! April 14th! Just
a quarter of a century
has passed I Instead of
the one little shop,
there are 773 J. C. Penney

states. In all these Stores,
