60-YEAR OLD
MOTHER GOING
TO COLLEGE
Wichita Kan., Feb. 16.—Although
the mother of twenty-two children
and sixty years of age, Mrs. Crosha
Lynes of this city is enrolled as a
student in Friends university-.
An indomitable spirit has carried
Mrs. Lynes on to her goal. At the
age of fifty she was unable to
read or write, but she was determin-
ed to learn and after ten years of
stiuggle and mastery, she is now in
the university.
he and his son were arraigned for
fighting.
“I didn't know my son, for he was
only a little fellow when I went
away.”
After the charge had been dis-
missed he grew epigrammatic. “A
man’s son may grow past recogni-
tion but his wife he’ll always re-
member.”
Judge J. M. Melson has entered
the race for Attorney General of
Texus and his announcement ap-
pears in the big dailies of the state
today. For the past four years

leading men in the Texas Legisla-
ture and by hard work has en-
deared himself to many of the
leaders of both the lower and up-
per house who have solicited him to
enter the race for attorney general.
His record in the legislature has
given him a state wide reputation
among the leading public men who
have watched his record with much
interest and pleasure.
Judge Melson is a native of
Hopkins county and by hard work
and native ability he hns in every
way qualified himself for the
responsible position he now seeks,
and his hundreds of old friends in
this county will rally to his support
in the campaign.
PATIENT EATS
SELF TO DEATH
Austin, Nev., Feb. 1G—The
champion eater in Lander county,
Leon Battalago, is dead.
The only patient in the Lander
county hospital for a year, Battalago
seemed to think that every meal was
his last one. A breakfast of eight
or ten eggs, half a loaf of bread,
four or five cups of coffee, topped
off with fifteen to twenty hat
cakes, was common. A few week
ago the matron missed three pies.
Battalago explained that he had
fcLt “a little hungry” in the aft• :
noon and eaten them.
The heavy eater also was a lua.w
weight, tipping the scales at Met
pounds. The county physician . i I
death was due to overeating.
GIN MAKES MAN
WALK TO DEATH
DAD SHOWS UP
RECOGNIZES WIFE;
FIGHTS WITH SON
New York, Feb. 16.—Francis X.
Corrigan came out of the West aft-
cr an absence of twelve years, en-
gaged in a fist fight with his grown
son, whom he thought an impbster,
then found the rest of his family
end made his wife a Valentine gift
of $5,000.
Corrigan’s son was a youngster
when jhe father left X«w York to
seek his fortune in j/m West. Most
; of the time Corrigan was in .Seat-
tle;’ Wash., with ,occasional trips to
jTixas and New Mexico. Recently,
1 however, he decided to return and
j try to find his family. He arrived
in New York last Friday.
Advertised for Family.
! Things had changed in the old
I Harlem neighborhood he had left,
| and his efforts to find Mrs. Corri-
gan and the children were unsuc-
cessful. He inserted an advertise-
! mi nt in the "personal” column of
| a newspaper and Friday morning
| Francis Corrigan Jr. came to an-
I swer it.
1 The strapping youth who ron-
| frented him bore little resemblance
t i the urchin he had left twelve
! years ago and Corrigan was doubt-
ful. An old friend he had found
here also was doubtful and the
doubt caused an argument. The ar-
, gument caused a fight, and futhej
| and son were taken to a police sta-
I tion.
Recognize, His Wife.
The son telephoned for his moth-
'• er and when she reached the sta-
tion the elder Corrigan recognize'!
her.

ROBBER IS NOT
EXCITED WHEN
SEEN IN HOUSE
Waco, Texas, Feb. 16.—Mrs. J.
N. Gallagher, wife of Judge Gal-
lagher, chief justice of the Tenth
court of rivil appeals, today re-
counted an interesting experience
that occurred when their home was
burglarized last night.
Mrs. Gallagher was awakened by
the robber as he was calmly walking
from place to place in the room, and
as she raised to look about her she
saw the man leaning over a table
near a gas stove looking at a fine
watch belonging to her nurse When
Mrs. Gallagher spoke, the man
straightened up, turned and uncon-
cernedly walked between the two
beds and out through the reception
hall and down the stairs, showing
no haste.
Before discovered, the burglar
rifled the pants of Judge Gallagher
and took $15 in cash and a gold
watch.
TRIUMPHS FOR
MEDICAL SCIENCE
It has been announced that two
Eastern physicians of recognized
standing have discovered and suc-
cessfully tested a serum for the
cure of scarlet fever. Although ab-
ut? reliability of the serum is yet
to be demonstrated, the incident is
significant. It points to the possi-
bility of bringing still another dan-
gerous disease under control, or
adding another to that list of dis-
eases such as typhoid, diphteria and
smallpox, from which the terror has
already been taken. The way is
long yet till humanity, through
medical science and sensible living,
shall have conquered diseaoe, but
it is far shorter than it was even
a generation ago.
The removal of a tack from a
baby’s lungs the other day, without
anaesthetic or pain, was a triumph
of medical science, the kind that has
a thrill. The skillful hands of the
modern surgeon often seem to be
given miraculous power. But, in
reality, there is nothing of the mar- s.
velous or unnatural about it. The
accomplishments of medical science,
like advances in all other fields,
are simply the result of hard work,
patient investigation and unselfish
devotion to a cause.—Kansas City
Star.
E. F. Peek and O. Troboy were
in Dallas last night.

San Francisco, Feb. 16.—Two
new and grim penalties of bootleg
liquor—in both cases arising from
the use of so-called synthetic gin
-—have introduced themselves into
the Pacific Coast death records

In one instance, insomn'a induced
by over stimulation of the nerve
centers from a few glasses of gin,

himself to death. His death, at-

The ether penalty of synthetic
