INDIANA POINTS.

H EIRS TO B!G LAND GRANT

Indiana Claimants Establish Titie in a

Tennessee Court and Word of

Their Success Reaches Them

at Oakland City.

Oakland City.— Members of the Dongan family, prominent among the pioneers of this county, have been ad­

vised that the chancery cotfrt of Dyer, Tenn., has r iled iu their favor in a

suit for possession of S00 acres of valuable timber land near Dyersburg. Tenn. Mrs. L. O. Emerson of this city is the nearest direct descendant ot '.he pioneer Dougan. who a ban doned the disputed tract as worthless before the war of the rebellion. The old settler was a soldier in the war of

Hie revolution and he entered The land from the government. Thinking it worthless because of its swampy con­

dition, he removed to Indiana. The land was left unclaimed until a few years ago, when a lumber company

was attracted by the vast amount of timber and began looking up the title. In this way the heirs were found. They immediately filed suit for pos­session. The chancery court has now ruled in their favor, but an appeal will be taken «o the supreme court. There were 2.100 acres in the original grant, issued by the state of North Carolina. One hundred people are interested in the final outcome.

Not Disclosed by

Attorneys.

New York.— W ith in an hour after he had sailed for Europe Wednesday, A l­

quence the rehabilitation of the inter­state movement in the southwest field and the outlying districts.

the treatment of it is not so obscure as many would be led to suppose. Tho first tiling is to relieve the pain,

which is done more quickly and satis­factorily by ST. JACOBS O IL than by any other remedy known; the second object is to remove the cause, which

is accomplished by the abundant use of nourishing food, of a nature :.o strengthen and give tone to both the muscular and nervous systems.

Dressed in the latest and most ap­proved motor-cycling costume, with goggles all complete, the motor­cyclist gavly toot-tooted his way by

Regents park towards the zoo. Sud­denly he slackened, dismounted, and said to a small, grubby urchin:

" I say, my boy, am I right for the zoo?”

The boy gasped at so strange a sight, and thought it must, be some new animal for the gardens.

"You may be all right if they have a spare cage," he said, when he could find his tongue, "but. you'd ha' stood a far better chance if you'd 'ad a ta il!"— London Answers.

A curious and alm ost ridiculous espionage followed, however, for a

week, and not a p leasant afternoon

passed by but this fellow was noticed strolling somewhere near the old m ill

or past the house.

Another am azing evidence of his in ­

tent was received a few days later, in the shape of a five-pound box of

choicest candies, that came by express

w ith his card. Aunt Abby opened this

and saw ihe card, and the next day

she commissioned the stage driver to deliver the box, card and all, to Mr.

Goodnow at his hoarding house.

A long and adroitly worded letter to Chip came a day later, so humble,

so flattering, and so im portun ing that it made her laugh.

“I th ink that fellow m ust have gone

crazy,” she said, hand ing the letter to Aunt Abby, ‘ he runs on so about how

he can’t sleep nights from th inking

about me. l ie says that, he must go away next week, and shall die if he

can 't see me once more. W hat ails him , anyway?”

“Nothing, except evil in tentions." re­

sponded A un t Abby, perusing {lie m is­

sive. “He must th ink you a fool to be­

lieve such bosh." she added severely,

after finishing it. “Honest love doesn’t grow like a mushroom in one night,

and the difference between his posi­

tion and yours gives tho lie to all he says. I hope he will go away next week, and never come hack.”

W hether Chip 's studied avoidance of him , combined w ith the snubbing,

served its purpose, or he decided his

quest was hopeless, could only be guessed, for In was seen no more near

Izatlor. that she was a nobody, and an

outcast unfit for Greenvale.And then came the climax of all

ih is : the bitter sneers of Hannah.

R ay ’s cool neglect, the consciousness

that she was only a dependent pauper,

and then her flight into the world and away from nil that stung her like so

m any whips.

Hut a revulsion of feeling was com­

ing. Chip, no longer a simple child of

the wilderness, was realizing her own

needs and her own nature. Something

broader and more satisfying than school life and the companionship of

A unt Abby was needed; yet how to

find it never occurred to her.

W ith September came A un t Abby's

annual visit to Peaceful Valley. A few

days before the ir departure. Chip re­

ceived a letter which was so unexpect­

ed and so vita l to her feelings that it

must be quoted.

It was dated a t the little village of Grindstone, directed to Vera McGuire,

care of Judson W alker, by whom it

was forwarded to Christmas Cove.“ .My Dear Chip,” it began.

“ 1 feci th a t you w ill not care to hear from me. and yet I m ust w rite. I know I a m more to blam e th an anyone for the w ay you left G reenvale. and th a t yon m ust consider m e a foolish boy. w ithou t m uch courage, w hich T have been, and I realize :t on ly too well now , when It is «oo late.

No one ever has been, and I k now no one ever w ill be, w hat you are to me. As O b i C y says, ‘B less­ings brigh ten as they v a n is *v and now. a fte r th is long separation , one word and one sm ile from dear little C h ip would seem priceless to me. and I sha ll come am ! try to w in it before m any m onths.

“ 1 a m here w ith Uncle M a r lin 's old guide, I.evi.

I.ev i to ld mo th a t the people here are m uch interested in you. th a t they have fixed up the yard where your m o th ­er is buried, and he p u t up a sm a ll stone.

" I w ish I could hear from you, but there Is no chance now . Please try to forg ive a foolish boy for being stup id , a ud th in k o f m e as you did d u r in g those happy days by the lake. Good-bye.

CH A PT ER — Continued.

W hether A un t Ab,>y’s heart " ^ p o n d ­

ed to that wish or not- *she never t,is-

closed.lint the days, weeks and months

swept by, and Old Cy came not.

Neither d id any message come to Chip from Greenvale. A t flrsl. rebelling at Ray’s treatment o f her, Chip felt

that she never wanted to see h im

again. She had been so tender

and loving toward h im at the lake,

had striven so hard to learn

and to be more like h im . had

waited and watched, counting the days un til his return, only to be told what

she could nor forget and to find him so neglectful, so cool to her. when her

g irlish heart was so full of love, that

her feelings had changed almost in

one Instant, and pride had made her j bitter.

H annah had told an unpleasant

truth., as Ch ip knew well enough; but

truth and confiding love mixed illy,

and Kay s conduct, leaving her as he

d id w ith scarce a word or promise, was an episode that had chilled and alm ost

killed Ch ip ’s budding affection. As i s

always T h e case, such a feeling fades

and flares like all others. There would now be a brief space when Chip hoped

and longed for R ay ’s coining, and then

days when no thought of h im came.

It was perhaps fortunate for him tha t Christm as Cove contained no se­

rious adm irer of Chip the while, else

h is cause and all memory of h im would hav£ been swept away. Rut. that

quaint village was peopled chiefly by

old folk, those of the male persuasion being quite young, with a few girls of

Ch ip ’s age. Few young men remained

there to make their way. and so no udded interest cams to vary Chip’s life.

CH A PT ER XXX .

After Chip had run away from

Greenvale. concealment of her name

and all else had forced itself upon her.

I t was not natura l for her to deceive. She had kept it up for one unhappy

year only under inward protest, which ended in abject confession and tears. Now recalling that unpleasant episode,

she made haste to confess her long conversation w ith this fluent fellow.

“Mr. Good now followed me over to

the point, his af ernoon," she ex­plained tha t evening to Aunt Abby.

“and talked for two hours. He was nice enough, but he made me sick of

him , he flattered me so much.”

Aunt Abby looked at her w ith a slight .-.ense of tiarm.

"H e certain Ij has the gift of im pu­

dence. at least.’’ she said, “in view of

the way ! declined h is ’inv itation yes­terday. ! th ink you’d best discontinue

your lo n g ramble? for the present, or

until he leaves h»re. He is not our

sort. He is not even a friend of ours, and if ^.eoyde see you together, they w ill y ; .k in d th in g s ."

the m ill, and the next week his yacht

left Christm as Cove, and Chip felt re­lieved.

It had been an experience quite now to her. and, in spite of its annoyance,

somewhat exciting. It also served an­

other purpose of more value,— it re­called Ray to her by sheer force of

contrast. She had fe lt hurt ever since

the night she left Greenvale. She

had meant t:o put h im out of her thoughts and forget all the silly hours

and promises at the lake: and yet she

never had succeeded. Instead, her

thoughts turned to h im iu spite of her

pride.And now. contrasting and compar­

ing that honest, manly lad, a playmate

only, and yet a lover as well, w ith this

polished, fulsome, fluttering, shifty- eyed fop. who sneered at everything

good, only ruade Ray, w ith his far d if­ferent ways, seem the more attractive.

Then conscience began to sm ite her. She had yielded to pride and put him

away from her thoughts. H is uncle had alm ost pleaded for her to return

to Greenvale. if only for a visit. She

knew Ray had spent weeks in search­

ing for her; yet not once in all the two

years since they parted had she sent him a line of remembrance.

More m ature now. Chip began to see her own conduct as it was, and to real­

ize that she had been both ungrateful

and heartless; but she could not con­

fess it to any one, not even Aunt Abby.

Ch ip ’s life had been a strange, com ­plex series of moods of peculiar effect,

and her conduct must be judged ac­cordingly.

F irst, the dense ignorance of years at T im ’s Place, w ith its saving grace

of disgust a t such surroundings and such a life. Then a few months with

people so different and so icind that it seemed an entrance in to heaven, to be

followed by weeks of a growing real-

by Chip ; how it woke the old memories of the wilderness and of herself, a

ragged waif there; and how, somehow,

in spite of pride and anger, a little thr ill of happiness crept into her heart needs no explanation.

Rut she was not quite ready yet to forgive h im , and what he failed to say

when he m ight, still rankled in her

feelings.

Rut Old Cy. tha t k indly soul, so like

a father! A lmost did she feel tha t to

meet h im would be worth more than to see any one else in the world. And

to think he was still hun ting for her, far and near!

And now. quite unlike most young

ladies, who deem the ir love missives sacred. Chip showed hers to Aunt

Abby.

“I t ’s from Raym ond Stetson,” she

said, rather bashfully, "a boy who was

in tho woods w ith those people who were kind to me, and we became very good friends.”

Aunt Abby smiled as she perused Sts

contents."A nd so he was the cause of yev.r

running away from Greenvale,” she

said. "W hy didn't you write h im a note of thanks after you learned he

had been searching for you? I think

he deserved that much, at least.”" I wouldn't humble myself.” Chip

answered spiritedly, “and then I was ashamed to let any one know I had

used his name. I hadn’t time to th ink

what name to give when Uncle Jud

asked me, and his was the first that

came tc« m ind," she added naively.A unt Abby laughed.

“1 guess Master Stetson won t find

forgiveness hard to earn," she said, and then her face beamed a t the dis­

closure of a romance while she read

the letter a second rime.

Hut there was more to tell, as Aunt

Abby knew full weil. and n o « . bit by |

bit, she drew the story from Chip, j

even to the admission of the tenderscenes between these two lovers, in

which they promised to love each

other and bo married.

" J t was silly, 1 suppose,” Chip con­

tinued blushingly, “ hut 1 d idn ’t know any better then, and r was so happy

that I d idn’t th ink about it at all. I

never had a beau before, you see. and

I guess I acted foolishly. Old Cy used to help us, too. and took us away so

we could have a chance to hold hand-5 and act silly. 1 was so lonesome, toe. for Ray all that w inter in Greenvale,

and nobody knew i’ . I walked a m ile

to meet the stage every n ight for a

month, to be the first to see h im when

he came. 1 guess he m ust have

thought he owned me. I wouldn't do it now.”

Once more A un t Abby laughed, a.

good, hearty laugh, and then, much to

Ch ip ’s astonishment, she look her face in her hands and kissed it.

“You dear little goose,” she said,

“and to th ink you ran away from a

hoy you cared for like tha t! I only

hope he is good enough for you, for I can see what the outcome w ill be.”

That n igh t when the tea-table had

been cleared and the lam p lit. A un t Abby once more began her adroit ques­tion ing of Chip ; but this time it was

of Old Cy, and all about him . For an

hour, Chip, noth ing loath, recited his

praises, repeated his odd sayings, de­

scribed his looks and ways and por­trayed him as best she could, while A un t Abby sm iled content.

" It makes me feel young again to

hear your story and about Cyrus,” she said when all was told. " I was just 1C

when he first, came to see me. H e was

also my first beau, you know. I should

judge he m ust have changed so T would never know him , and maybe he wouldn’t recognize me. Forty years i3

a long t im e !” And she sighed.

And now A un t Abby closed her

eyes, let fall her knitting, and lapsed into bygones.

No longer was she a staid and m a ­

tronly widow- -not young, it is true,

yet not old, but w ith roundod race, few wrinkles, and slightly gray hair.

Instead was she sweet Abby Grey of the long ago, and once more the belle

of this quiet village ar.d Rayport. and the leader at every dance, every husk­

ing. and every party. Once more she

primped and curled her hair, and

donned her best, and waited her sailor

boy’s coming. Once more she heard the belis jing le and saw the stars

tw inkle as the> sped away to a w inter

n ight’s dance— and once more she felt the sorrow of parting. t!ie long years

of waiting, waiting, waiting, and at last, the numb despair and final con­

viction that never would her lover re­

turn.

And now he was still alive, though

a wanderer, and some day he m igh t—• surely would come :o see her, just once. If no more.

“Ah. me.” she said, rousing herself ar. last and looking a t Chip's sm iling,

sunny face. “life is a queer riddle, and we never know how to guess it."

Then she sighed again.

I Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer­

chants of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local

pride is being worked in an enterpris­

ing western city. The plan in brief

is. instead of attem pting to vita lize

the civic spirit of the whole comm u­nity. to organize clubs iu different lo­

calities and to clean up and lig h t up

certain sections, w ithout regard to what may be done elsewhere. For in ­

stance. a club is organized in a

single block, and merchants on each

side of the street are persuaded to

jo in . If it is desired to make tho

block brilliant w ith ligh t at n ight an

investigation is had to see how it can be done, how much it w ill cost and

w hat it is worth. The plan has worked so successfully that organizations are

springing up all over the same city to

devote their attention to cleaning or

ligh ting a certain restricted territory.

It is much easier to secure co-opera­

tion between 20 merchants than be­

tween 200, and the influence o f the

few spreads in a w idening circle.—* Baltim ore News.

POOR GEORGE!

CH A PT ER X X X I.

Some sneering critic once said that,

few young men ever start out in the

world un til they are kicked out, and

there is a grain of truth in that as­sertion. It is seldom an actual kick, however, but some motive force quite

as compelling.In Ray's case it was his unclc-’s as­

sertion that if he hoped to w in Chip he must first show the ab ility to pro­

vide a home for her, which is excellent

advice for any young man to follow."It won’t be a pleasure trip ,” Mat tin

said when Ray proposed to go to the

wilderness and, with Levi and a cou­

ple of other assistants, make ;t busi­

ness of gum-gathering and trap-set­ting, “but you can 't lose much by it.

You are welcome to the cam p; T.evl will see iha t you have game enough

to eat, and boss the expedition, i w ill

loan you five 1 undred, and w ith what

you have, that is capital enough anc you ought to do well. It would be bet­

ter if O ld Cy could lake charge, but a.s

it is, you m ust go It alone.” And go

it alone Ray did.

Levi's services were easily secured. Two young fellows whom he knew

were hired at Greenvale. A bateau

was purchased, together w ith more

traps and supplies, and after Ray had written Chip his plan, the party start­ed for M artin ’s camp. They had been

established there a month and were

doing well. The first ice had begun

form ing in shallow coves when one

afternoon, who should enter the lake

and paddle rapidly across but Old Cy."Ye can't g it rid o’ me when trap­

p ing goin' on," he said cheerily, as

Ray and Levi m et h im at the landing. “ 1 fetched into the settlement kinder homesick fer the woods last. week. I

heard the good news ’bout Chip 's bein’

found 'n* you'd come here fer the w in­

ter, V I d idn 't wait a m inute 'fore I

hired a canoe 'n' started.” And then, in the exuberance of his joy, he shook

hands w ith Ray and I^evi once more.That evening. Ray. who had hard

work to keep the secret so long, told

Old Cy who lived in Peaceful Valley.It was like a thunderbolt out of a

clear sky. a shock of joyful news that

made O ld Cy gasp."W hy . T feel jest like a colt once

more,” he said after the exclamation

stage had passed. "A n ’, do ye know,

boys. I felt a ll the way cornin' in ez

though good news was waitin ' fer me. 1 s'pose ’twas from bearin' Chip was

all right ag 'in .”(TO B i i C O N T IN U E D .)

Weather During March.

The past month fuliy atoned for the unfriendly attitude of its ante­

cedent in 1907 by acting in a ra­

tional manner. I t was not as

blustering as most Marches are.

but it was not too warm to advance

vegetation beyond a normal devel­

opment. The result is that the

wheat, timothy and clover crops

are in as fine condition as any

farmer could ask, aud with n >rmal

weather during the remainder of

the season will make big yields.

There were 1 wo days of high wind

—on the 6th and on the 26th. Rain

fell on live days. There were live

clear days when the, sun shone all

day, fourteen partially clear days

and twelve wholly cloudy days.

This is a pretty good showing'

for March. The 3d saw the last

of eighteen days of sleighing.

Trout for the Lake.

S. S, Chadwick received last

week from Dr. Overman, IT. S. fish

commissioner, 7:-0 rainbow trout,

hatched in the I . S. hatchery a*

Neosho, Mo., ranging from 2. to

5 inches in length. One hundred

and fifty were placed in the branch

north of the academy, and 600 in

the outlet, near Walley’s- The

larger fish are old enough to spawn

next winter. Those deposited in

the branch are expected to do well

and iucrease. Those planted in

the outlet will be more widely dis­

tributed as many of them will

doubtless go down into the Tippe­

canoe. The rainbow trout is in­

digenous to the mountain streams

of the West, but has been suc­

cessfully transplanted into Eastern

waters. 11 does not require the

cold, shaded water indispensable

to the brook trout. The rainbow

trout is not quite up to the brook

trout in eating quality nor quite

as difficult to catch, but it is a very

good substitute.

T HTS is being done today with white Acetylene.

Calcium Carbide, from which Acet- tylene Gas is mp.de, looks like coal, won't burn, can’t explode, and conics in moisture proof steel drums contain­ing 100 lbs.

When Carbide is dropped into a tank of water It immediately produces Acetylene Gas which combines with A ir for Lighting.

The resulting Acetylene Gaslight is identical w ith Sunlight. I t is so Sun like that it makes plants grow as rapidly and naturally a t n ish t as Sun­ligh t makes them grow by day.

Acetylene L igh t is brilliant, white, cool, clean, odorless, steady and safer than any other known Illum in an t

Two m illion Americans use it reg­ularly,— and already X48 Towns aro publicly lighted with it.

One pound of "Carbide” costs 3% cents, in most of the States east of tho Rocky .Mountains.

And tliis pound makes 5 cubic feet of Gas.

This 5 cubic feet, of Acetylene Gas w ill give 24 candle-power L ight for 10 hours.

A ll for 3% cents observe.Compare this cost per candle-power

w ith common Kerosene L ight as regu­larly used.

A Kerosene Lamp which w ill give an actual 24 candle-power of light for10 hours w ill average a cost of <5 cents for Kerosene. Chimneys and Wicks.

Six cents against 3?i cents for Carbide and water.

Don’t lei the contrast escape you.Observe that the Acetylene L ight

w ill be cool, clean, b rillian t and w hile like Sunlight. You can see pale blue, pale pink, or pale yellow as clearly by it as by Daylight.

And. forty Acetylene Lights need only 30 m inutes' icork per month.

This means about 6 hours per year of labor for 40 L ight capacity, ns against (30 m inutes psr day, or) 1S2 hours per year w ith Kerosene Lamps.

W rite me today how many rooms you’ve got. or how large your store, and I ’ll tell you what it would cost to ligh t them w ith brillian t Sunlike Acetylene.

Investigation of a complaint of

Peleg Backus proved that Peleg

was guilty of setting one of his

joyed a pleasure drive over toward

celina Peddycord was one of the |

a little too modest.

amount of advice of his neighbors, j

Uncle forwarded the entire mass to j

the Smithsonian institute at Wash-1

ington for identification. Last i

Saturday he received notification

that it constituted one of the most

remarkable finds relative to early

history that had ever been made in

this country. The stuff proved to

be a fossil collection of aboriginal;

cuss words, some gossip about the

weather, and a number of family

quarrels that have been buried in

this manner for centuries. The

entire subject will be treated at

length in the forthcoming report

of the institute, and will be a com­

plete account of the find, pictures i of the place, and a halftone cut of |

MANY INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE T h e Id e a l W a s h e rADOPT NEW THEORY

Statem ents from Followers of Cooper O b­tained Recently in Various Cities.

A number of statements from prom i­nent people located in various cities where the widespread discussion over L. T. Cooper’s new theory regarding the hum an stomach has recently waged, give an idea of the intense in ­terest the young man has aroused dur­ing the past year. The statements are as follows:

Mr. C. D. M itchell, of 2412 Avenue C, B irm ingham , Ala., has this to say w ith regard to h is belief in Cooper’s medicine: “ I have been troubled w ith indigestion and stomach trouble for the past year. I had heartburn, bloat­ing after eating, gas on stomach and bowels, palpitation of the heart, pain in the lower part of m y back, and various other symptoms, and was a victim of m uch distress. I tried many remedies, but received little or no benefit from them. I was advised to try the Cooper preparations, and did so. In one week's time I was im ­proved wonderfully— the first relief 1 had been able to obtain. Mr. Cooper’s medicine does a ll he claims for i i .”

Mr. J . O. Spradling, of 705 South Tcjon Street, Colorado Springs, Colo., says: “I was troubled w ith indigestion for two years. I t caused me a great deal of suffering and misery. I did not dare to eat meat a t all, and every­th ing I a id eat soured on m y stomach. I tried various remedies, but found no

, relief. Three months ago I started

tak ing Cooocr’s Now Discovery, and after nrdng the contents of three bot­tles 1 was entirely cured. I can now eat and relish anything tha t my appe­tite craves. The New Discovery is truly a great stomach medicine.”

Mr. W m . Codier, of 40S Graves Street, Syracuse, N. Y., is very strong in. h is expression of belief in the new medicine, and has the follow ing to say oa tho subject: " I have suffered from catarrh of the nose and throat for four years. I t must have been communi­cated to my stomach, for a ll th is timo my stomach has given me a great deal of trouble, and caused me much pain and suffering. My stomach was often sour, and my food did not digest. I was bothered by a continual desire to spit, and there was a constant drop­p ing of mucus into the throat.

“The first relief i have been able to obtain is from Cooper’s New Discov­ery, which I havo been taking for about a week. My catarrhal condition bus been greatly improved and my stomach is almost well. Mr. Cooper’s medicine has benefited me more than anything I have ever used.”

These statements are from reliable citizens in various communities who have tried these celebrated medicines. W c sell them and w ill gladly explain the ir nature Lo any one interested.

after paddling h couple of miles from camp. I rowed In to some drift and willows, put out five live decoys, built up a little ‘■blind.” and had my duck '‘call” handy.

“W ell, they was a monstetr coon down on Shadow lake that had

whipped all the dogs that was ever brought against, him. He wasn’t no ordinary coon, but. nearly as big as a young bear, and every ounce bone and muscle. He'd get out into a little pond or piece of marsh and when a dog'd tackle him he’d souse the dog's

head under water a few times, con­tributing a few bites at tho same time to make it binding.

“Old W ib hears of this coon, and he comes over for me, and a big crowd of us goes down to Shadow lake one moonlight night. Well, you know that country. Pucker-brush,

swamp-holes. briers, dead logs, the worst ever. We got the trail of this big fellow easy enough, for he used to prowl down around Ilogeye bend most all the lime, and In about half an hour Leander barked ‘treed.’

"W hen we got to where it was, the coon had got out on an old basswood that stood in a little pond where we couldn’t well use the axes, and we could see him away up and out on a big limb that slanted across this here pond. I allowed I ’d climb up and shake him down, and one of the boys gave me a hist and up I went. When I got out to where he was I couldn’t Jar him loose.

“But finally all of a sudden he clawed loose from the limb and down

ho went, into the pond with about, a bushel of bark and grape-vine and splinters around him . and the minute he lit Leander and some more of the dogs flew out to where ho was. I aquirms around on my perch, about 10 foct from the water, to get. n look at the fight, and just as the buck coou and Leander has arranged t9 ketch holts, whack goes my limb and down I como before I could holler, ‘Look out below.’

THE LIMD AND ME COM £ KA-WHALLOP ACROSS OLD LEANDER.

It was a warm, bright day, and the

ducks weren't stirring around much. Then* was a big log about SO feet from tho “blind” that run out from the

butt of a half-sunk sycamore. This sycamore was a whopping ?roe, and was connected with the shore on one side by a catch of drift-wood. Well, 1 Ik ; rd a noise and turned around towards that log, peeking quiet out

of the “blind.” and there on that log sat the b lu e s t raccoon I ever laid my eyes on.

lie was squatting there listening. I took I he -14, slipped it through a crack in the willows, and aimed for the juncture of his neck and shoul­ders. I touched the trigger, and the coon melted off that log like a dew- drop from a lily-pad. 1 got out and went around the log and there he laid as dead as Pharaoh.

After we had supper I showed Dlb the coon, and he says: “He's a strap- pin' big fellow, a in 't he? The big­gest one I ever saw except that, old buck coon on Shadow lake. And he

was a giant. This lad ain't a rat along­side of him .”

“ Mid you k ill that, one, Dib?” said I.

”.\'o; but he came pretty near kill­ing me.” was Dib's response.

“How was it. D ib?” says I. "There must be a story to that coon some­

where."“Well," says Dib, “I reckon there

was a sort of tale to It. It 'll kill a

little time, and I don't mind telling you about it.

"You reckollect oid man Parrott? The man I introduced you to down at the depot last fall. Heavy-set follow, big brown eyps, nose hooked like a chicken-hawk’s beak, all the time smiling. Well, old W ib i a the boss coon hunter anywhere along these bottoms. At that time he had tho most surprisingest coon-dog that'd ever lilt these parts.

says, 'W hat’s his name?’ And oid

“Well, the best thing mo and the limb could do was to come ka-whallop

right across old Leander and bu.y him down in the mud at the bottom of this shallow pond. Two of his ribs was stove in, and he was otherwise dam­aged, includin’ breakin’ his back. I reckon I m ight have kicked the coon in the face with one of my spare feet as I lit, but I a in ’t certain about that. O f course I was knocked senseless, and the boys run in and got me out on the bank and poured vinegar into me and finally brought mo to again. Old W ib had left me cold as scon as ho sensed how bad Leander was hurt, and a t last. I gets my bearings again, shakes myself and find I ’m all right, no bones broke, and just jarred some. Leander and the water had busted the force of the fall, you see.

" I goes over to where the boys had built a tire and. say. I was plumb sor­ry for old W ib. This here Leander was layln* out on his belly and every once in awhile he'd let out a yelp. I says to the old man, 'I'm terrible sor­ry, W ib ,’ and he says, ‘I don't blamo

you. Dib, it. was that blasted limb.' Ho didn't cuss any. for old W ib was a church member. He says. ‘W hat is to be happens. Put him out of his mis­ery, boys, I can't do It.’ So Dad O li­ver swung an ax. and I don't reckon old Leander knowed what hit him.

" ‘Put him in tho sack.' says W ib. ‘I'll give him a Christian burial, coffin and all. There’s all that’s left of tho best hound that ever nosed a trail or h’isted a bristle.’ If. was a m ighty sol­emn thing to old W ib, lemrne tell you. The Lord gives, and the Lord Ho

said around Slabtown that he thought as much of that Leander dog as he did

of his own wife and family, and ho

was a good husband and father, too.”Dib paused and snaked a live coal

out of the fireplace with the end of a shovel, and deftly shunted it into tho bowl of his pipe w ith a segment of hickory chip. Then ho puffed reminis­cently.

“W hat became of the buck coon, D ib?” was my query. Dib stretched his massive legs out so as to get the fuil blaze of the logs on them ar.d said: “Oh: that pesky critter? Why,

ho just, naturally got away duria ’ the cxciteiuent.”

How Advertising by a Specialist Was

Turned to Profit by a Wide-

Awake Country Store­

keeper.

One of the latest deals of the town- to-town man is the working up of sales for some local merchant. He enters the town and contracts with some

storekeeper to hold a week's sale. W hat goods tho merchant cannot sup­ply he will have shipped in to add to the stock on hand. Ho is a worker for

tho percentage on the gross saies, and stands the advertising hills. He is a past-master In the art of country town

advertising. He knows how to get out an attractive poster and how to reach the town people and the farmers as well. He covers tho front of the store

w ith signs calling attention to the sale. ITe has a force of specially trained clerks. He makes business fairly hum, unless he bucks up against another merchant iu the town who knows a few things about getting

business himself..Not long ago in one of the small

western cities one of the "experts" opened up a sale for a merchant who had a considerable stock of stale goods, particularly boots and shoes, on hand. The front of 'he store build­ing was covered with attractive signs,

thousands of posters and handbills were sent throughout tho city and country, and the advertising began to show- results. There was one live

merchant in the town who saw i chance to reap a benefit from tho ef

forts of the “expert." The sale had only fairly gotten under way when the

dealer-up-to-date commenced placard­ing his store in ihe same block. lie was not slow in the advertising line.

W hen the sale manipulator hung out his sign. “Finest shoes in the town, $1.50 per pair." tho up-to-date man moi

it with: “These shoes don't look like kid. they are not paper, but they will wea” better than anything you can

get for twice tho money— only SI.05.’’Other signs called attention to hon­

est. values; that there was no special s.'iln on hand; It was regular business

and regular prices— but prices; were right, the goods were right and honest % allies. a«nd invited comparison with "any other stock in town,” and the people were interested.

Farmers understand the “bargain sale” deal, and at the end of the first day the up-to-date man had sold 139 pairs of shoes aud rubbers. He didn't have to cut prices. He gathered up all his odds and ends of stock, placard­ed them so as to toll the people they were a little out of stylo, but honest bargains, and ho did business in vol­umes as groat as the expert bargain man, and convinced his customers that not alone on one day could they

re t fu ll value for their money, but on any day.

I t is wen for the merchant in the Rinall city to do judicious advertising. This will bring as good results, and save the percentage paid the “expert." In fact if the merchant would take the amount that would be paid out to tho expert and use it in advertising iu his home paper he would be the winner in the end. Then, again, the “expert” is our to make sales, and he makes them, sometimes in such a way as to turn away the trade of those who weie

good customers of the merchant.

COUNTRY STORE EXPENSE LIGHT

Local Merchants Should Be Able to Meet City Store Competition.

In the matter of expense of conduct­ing business, the country merchant has far the edge over the storekeep­er of the large city. He has lower taxes, his insurance is not so high, neither has lie to pay his help such

high wages as the city merchant. In fact, the country merchant can sell goods lower than the big city store, and make money—-that is if he Is a good buyer arid gets his goods at the price he ought to buy them at. It is all tommy-rot to say that, the depart­ment store sells goods for quality any

lower than does the average country merchant. The reason is plain— de­partment. storekeeper or the mail-or­der house can’t do it, because ex­penses are so much higher. W alk into department store, ask to see a line of hats, men's hats, or a line of shoes. Note the prices marked and then drop into a country store, pick

out the same quality, let it be the

same make of goods. What w ill you find? That the country store asks fully 15 to 20 per cent, loss than the same goods are sold for in the big city store.

Migratory Merchants.Retail merchants in small towns

have almost as hail competition with the traveling month-in-a-town fakir, as they have In the big catalogue houses. Many towns have ordinances and even state laws in some cases are in force, to control the wandering

from town-to-town "merchant.”Those mgratory dealers are han­

dlers of job lots, seconds and stale goods and are adepts in the advertis­ing art. They land in a town with h

carload of their inferior goods, hire a vacant store room in some part of town, in or as near the business cen­ter as they can; distribute attractive posters throughout, the town and coun­

try. and then glib salesmen start to work the unsophisticated. It Is main­ly in the boot and shoe, dry goods, clothing and :he notion line the trav­

eling merchant works.

BEING UP-TO-DATE.

Live Business Men the Ones Y/ho Make the Greatest Success.

The man in business If. out. to win or he wouldn’t !)«• in business. Thero are many little details that must be looked after, must bo studied and which are essential to success. Many merchants, particularly in small

towns, are kept so busy wrapping up bits of ginghams, weighing out sugar and doing the hundred and three oth­

er things, that they think they Uave no time to give all these little essen­tials attention. These days (he mer­chant is really up against a hard

game, unless lie keeps right In line and to the front. Statistics show that. SO per cent, of those who engage in the retail trade fail.

People must buy necessities. The average mortal wants the best he can get for the least money. Merchant

Jones can't, sell at any higher prices than Brown on the opposite side of the street, sells like goods for. and

Brown’s method is pretty good.

Brown has captured a good trade, and on some lines gets stift'er prices. How does he do it? Look a t the ar­

rangement of his goods. He has a place for everything, and everything properly in its place, and displayed to

the greatest advantage. He hasn’t his potatoes and his apples mixed in a heap and his tomatoes and other

canned goods of the vegetable class mixed with his jellies and his jam s; neither arc tho labels so covered with dust that the goods look as if they were held in stock for years. You can just bet Brown is up-to-date, his goods are so arranged that people find a pleasure in stopping in front of tho store and looking at the show win­dows. and go through the door and see the harmony and order in all tho

arrangement o? his stock. Brown himself is no slouch, his attire is plain but neat, no gaudy display and his

temper Is always even, ar.d a smile is fot every customer, and all his clerks arc required to keep them­

selves neat and show the greatest courtesy to everyone who enters tho store. Then, again, he sees that goods are delivered promptly, no delay in

getting* your sugar, your butter and all that you order from Brown, for he 5s always Johnny-on-the-spot. Then again, he keeps all his customers feel­ing well: he always believes in an era of good feeling; ho is sympathetic. Then Brown is a man who doesn’t believe in keeping a set of books for the purpose of charging up poor ac­counts. He has a knack of collecting his bills so his customers feel they are under obligations to him, and while ho is a stickler for m aking cash sales, sometimes good responsible customers want a little credit, and get. it. Merchants like Brown are tho

kind that build up the home town.

Penniless Choctaw Brave Oniy Few

Years Ago— Promoted Railroad,

Money Flowed In.

Prices Manipulated to Give Erroneous Impressions of Cheapness.

Tho catalogue houses make such in­roads into the business of the dealers who chiefly rely upon country trade,

that in some localities merchants can't,

be blamed for the complaints they make. Much can be done by the mer­chant to prevent his customers send­

ing to such concerns for goods, if he will but make the effort. Sometimes a little solid reasoning will have the

right effect. Any man of common

sense knows that the basis of all prices is the cost of production. There mnst be a paying profit in tho business of manufacturing, and a l­lowance made for cost of placing on the market. Tho purchaser should be

satisfied that the manufacturer and the dealer made a fair, honest profit. The farmer estimates his profit on

tho cost of growing his products. On many crops and on his cattle and hogs his percentage of gain is much

more than the storekeeper makes upon the goods he sells. A little rea­soning along those lines w ith explana­tions that if low prices are made there must be Inferior goods supplied, will perhaps help to keep many peo­

ple from sending away for goods.

One trick of the catalogue houses is to classify goods by sizes as to make a very low price on goods little in de­mand. and large profits on goods mostly called for. The one who looks at. the list to see prices finds his eye first sees tho low-priced goods and naturally concludes that, the whole line is lower. If a careful examination

of tho list bo made tho trick would bo

found, and an average of the list would show that the articles most called for are higher than would be asked by tho homo merchant.

In a Presidential Year.This is presidential year, and the

alarm ist, the dry-goods box philoso­pher and the calamity howlers of d if­

ferent breeds and opinions are abroad in the land. Presidential years are “off” years, so they say. and the most

level-headed old-timer shakes his head with doubt when he speaks of the con­ditions throughout the land. There Is a little cause for a tightening up in

the affairs, more cautiousness in finan­cial and commercial centers in gen­eral. Tills year there are no such “pre­sentiments” of evil as generally mark

presidential years. Business goes on just tho same as it has during the past half dozen years or more, only

there is evidence that men are not losing their heads and are carefully considering possibilities. The agri­cultural sections are particularly for­

tunate Sn the fact that their pros­perity depends little upon the fluctua­tions of stocks or securities. ’Tis the wealth of land and live stock that counts, and while any depression may to a certain extent influence price, it will require a greater calamity than a change in adm inistration tu par­

alyze agricultural industries.

Houston. Tex.— Tho richest Indian

in the world is Lon H ill of Harliugi.ou, Tex. His wealth is conservatively es­timated at $3,500,000. He owns more than 300.000 acres of the best land in

R io Grande valley. Every foot, of it can be irrigated. At the rate which other land in this section of the same character is selling. $20 per acre for

this 300.000 acres would not be an ex­cessive figure. Figured on that basis this Indian is worth $6,000,000.

Lon H ill is a full-blood Choctaw and

he is proud of his Ind ian blood.The marvelous thing about the

great fortune which H ill now pos­

sesses is That he has accumulated it all during the last six years. Ho lo­cated at Brownsville. 25 miles below

Ilarlington, a little more than six years ago. That was before a rail­road had been built into the region. It was then K>0 miles to the nearest railroad outlet to tho outside world.

H ill says that when he arrived in Brownsville he was "worse than broke.” He did not have any money and his debts amounted to $200. lie had been practicing law at Heevi.'le, Tex. lie had made a good reputation as a lawyer in southwest Texas, but

he reached the conclusion that the time was not far distant when the valley of the lower R io Grande would be transformed from its prim itive

wilderness* of chaparral into cultivated farms and gardens.

When ho had grit well settled In the border town this progressive Indian

began the work of interesting capital

Lon Hill.

to build a railroad to the place. When the building of a road was practically

assured the redskin lawyer began to secure options upon the rich valley land adjacent to Brownsville. This wild land was covered w ith an almost

impenetrable growth of brush and small trees. It was considered almost

unfit for grazing purposes, so thick was the chaparral upon it. The value placed upon the land ranged from one dollar to $1.50 per acre and some of the owners perhaps thought that they were robbing the prospective pur­

chaser when they fixed those prices In the options. H ill, for his own pur­poses. was w illing at that time to cone.’do that he was agreeing to pay

an exorbitant price "for the land. The land which he had bought for one dol­lar and $1.50 per acre went to five dol­lars per acre before the railroad had

reached Brownsville. When the line was finished and the influx o f in­vestors and homeseekers began land values mounted higher and higher.

Mr. H ill just now i» completing a system or irrigating canals and ditches to irrigate 40,000 acres of his land. The main canal is more than 25 miles long, and runs from the Rio

Grande to a point a short distance east of Harlingen. More than 25 miles of

laterals are being built. A ll o f this land is to be planted in sugar cane. Three large sugar m ills are to be erected to care for tho cane crop

when the land is placed in cultivation. Sugar cane in the Rio Grande valley grows to a height of 12 feet and tests show that each stalk yields one and one-lhird pounds of sugar. Ono aero of cane will make about 12,000 pounds of sugar, worth about four cents a pound

In addition to his vast landed hold­ings H ill owns tho townsite of Harl­ingen. This place is situated a t the junction of the main line of tho St.

Louis, Brownsville & Mexico railroad and its branch line which runs to San Fordyce.

H ill is married. He is devoted to his wife and children. Concerning his early life, be says:

“1 punched cattle in Indian territory when a young man. I saw the need

of nn education and had acquired a fairly good start in that direction when I entered the University of

Texas. I was 27 years old when I began to study law. I went through the University c f Texas and graduated in the law department of the Univer­sity of Virginia. I now am 19 years of age.”

The Evolution ofHousehold Remedies.

The modem patent medicine busi­ness is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies.

In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME­MADE MEDICINES. Kerb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound­ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated, c

The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this whole­some, old-time custom. In the begin­ning. some enterprising doctor, im­pressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manu­facture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a largo area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE­HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.

Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM­POUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men- nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and fur­nished it to the general drug trade.

Peruna i3 useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman’s judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.

In one week’s tim e I was im ­proved wonderfully— the first relief I had been able to obtain. Mr. Cooper s medicine does a ll he claim s for it .”

Mr. J . O. Spradling , of 703 South Teion Street, Colorado Springs, Colo.. says: “ I was troubled w ith indigestion for two years. I t caused me a great deal of suffering and misery. I did not daro to eat meat a t a ll, and every­th ing I d id cat soured on m y stomach. I tried various remedies, bu t found ik> Tellef. TUreo m onths ago I started

ta ldng Cooner’s New Discovery, and fter xming the contents of three bot­

tles T -was entirely cured. I can now cat and relish any th ing tha t m y appe­tite craves. The New Discovery is tru lv a great stomach medicine.”

Mr. W m . Codier, of 4 OS Graves Street, Syracuse?, N. Y., is very strong in. h is expression of belief in the new medicine, and lias the fo llow ing to say oa the subject: “ I have suffered from catarrh of the nose and throat for four years. I t m ust have been comm uni­cated to m y stomach, for a ll th is tim o m y stomach has given me a great deal of trouble, and caused me m uch pain and suffering. My stomach was often sour, and m y food did no t digest. I was bothered by a continual desire to spit, and there was a constant drop­p ing of mucus into the throat.

“The first relief 1 have been able to obta in is from Cooper’s New Discov­

ers', w hich I havo been tak ing for about a week. My catarrhal condition has been greatly improved and m y stomach is alm ost well. Mr. Cooper’s medicine has benefited me more than any th ing I have ever used.”

These statements are from reliable citizens in various communities who have tried these celebrated medicines.

T H IS is being done today w ith white Acetylene.

Calcium Carbide, Trom which Acot tylene Gas is made, looks like coal, won’t burn, can ’t explode, and comes in moisture proof steel drums contain- ini? 100 lbs.

W hen Carbide is dropped into a tank of water it immediately produces Acetylene Gas which combines w ith A ir for L ighting.

The resulting Acetylene Gaslight is identical w ith Sunlight. I t is so Sun-like that it. makes p lants grow as rapidly and natura lly a t n igh t as Sun­ligh t makes them grow by day.

Acetylene L ig h t is b r illian t, white, cool, clean, odorless, steady and safer than any other known Illum inan t.

Two m illio n Americans use it reg­u larly .— and already 348 Towns are publicly lighted w ith it.

Ore pound of “Cnrbide” costs 3% cents, in most of the States east of the Hooky Mountains.

And this iwund makes 5 cubic feet of Gas.

This 5 cubic feet of Acetylene Gas w ill give 24 candle-power L igh t for 10 hours.

A ll for 3% cents observe.Compare, this cost per candle-power

w ith common Kerosene L igh t as regu­larly used.

A Kerosene Lam p which w ill give an actual 24 candle-power of light for 10 hours w ill average a cost of G cents for Kerosene. Chim neys and W icks.

Six cents against 3% cents for Carbide and water.

Don't let the contrast escape vou.Observe tha t the Acetylene L ig h t

w ill be cool, clcan, b r illia n t and w hile like Sunlight. You can see pale blue, pale pink, or pale yellow as clearly by it as by Daylight.

And, forty Acetylene L ights need only 30 minutes* work per month.

This means about C hours per 1/ear of labor for 40 L ight capacity, as against (30 m inutes per day, or) 1S2 hours per year w ith Kerosene Lamps.

While digging a well some few

months ago. Uncle Ben Davis

turned up a tangled mass of mater-1

ial which was neither mineral nor

vegetable matter, and which for

some few days was quite a curios- i

ity around Hickory Bush. Acting

upon a portion of the generous

amount of advice of his neighbors,

I ncle forwarded the entire mass to j

the Smithsonian institute at Wash­

ington for identilication. Last

Saturday he received notification

that it constituted one of the most

remarkable finds relative to early

history that had ever been made in

this country. The stuff proved to

be a fossil collection of aboriginal

cuss words, some gossip about the

weather, and a number of family

quarrels that have been buried in

this manner for centuries. The

entire subject will be treated at

W ASHINGTON.— Ix»bbyiag is not

unadulterated joy even for a

man. Hut for a woman- well, a whole calendar of sain is would not be too many ior tho spoeial protection and

consolation of the woman who goes to W ashington with an ax to grind.

There are really three lobbies at the

house end of the capitol. One has for its habK.it a luxurious suite of rooms, with .--oft. carpets, beautiful paintings, b ig leather chairs, fine tables.

In spite of the sunshine which the

high windows let in there are discreet corners where a man can present his case in comfort and confidence. A man, yes; but not a woman. Not all

men either, for tha t matter.A good share of the men who are

seeing congressmen have to do their

lobbying, such as it is, in the corridor near the main entrance to the house. It's a mixed lot of humanity that gath­

ers there, eagerly or sadly waiting for a response to the cards that have been

sent in.

The lame, the halt and the blind are there; the out-at-elbows, the dis­

couraged, an occasional crank, an oc­casional shifty-eyed individual whose

ax, if lie gets it ground, w ill not be swung in any particularly pious pro­

ject. In the corners ar.d the window

embrasures low-toned conversations are going on between members and

.outsiders.Some of the latter get a date for a

visit to (he member’s oflice. Others get a shake of the head.

The women are still further away.

Their lobby is a corner of Statuary

hall.The marble columns partly shut it

away from the main hall, and there are chairs and a table where the wom­

en write their pathetic, apologetic notes. Many of them are in mourn­

ing; their eyes are frightened and ap­pealing. Others are plainly pests;, the

kind that are always getting some­

thing and always wanting something

more.Tt*s not always clear to a congress­

man which he hates worse to see, the penniless woman who is absolutely in­competent to do anything much ex­cept starve, or the woman who is a l­

ways nagging h im for another job.

The first one makes h im sorry for her. The second makes h im sorry for

hlinself. "Roth sensations are uncom­fortable, and the consequence is that

he very often tries to shirk the whole experience by not go'.ng out a t all in

response to these cards and notes.As a capitol employe said: “Say.

that corner over there makes me have

the blues to bent the band. Thom wom­en in their black dresses, waitin’ an ’

waitin' for a congressman that's prob­ably h id in ’ in a cloakroom for the spe­

cial purpose of dodgin' an interview w ith ’em, would drive a married man

to drink or to the life insurance com­pany."

Charles McCormick of Kenville, Manitoba, writes*

“During the season of 1907. I had

100 acres in crop on the S. W . quarter

of section 18. township 35, range 27 west of the Principal Meridian, Wes­tern Canada, yielded as follows:

“SO acres a t 22 bushels per acre,

which I sold for 90 cents per bushel;

and 20 acres oats yielding tiO bushels

per acre 1 sold for 35 cems per bushel h o that my total crop realized $2,004.-

00. From ‘.his I deducted for expenses of threshing, hired help, etc.. $400.00,

leaving me a net profit on this year’s crop ot over S1.C00."

Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Sas­

katchewan. says:“The value of my crop per acre of

wheat is $22.50. I threshed 1,7f;0

bushels of wheat from 70 acres, and was offered I'O cents a bushel for it. Oats-., 15 acres, 500 bushels; and

barley. 5 acres, 80 bushels. I

do not know if I have been doing

the best in this district, but I know if a ll the farmers were doing as well. Western Canada would have r.o kick coming as far as grain growing is

concerned; and I further say that if

you want to put this in one of your ad­vertisements. this is truo and I can put my name to it.”

T h e Postm aster G enera! and H is N am e

THe postmaster general's name is

George von Lengerke Meyer. It would be supposed that most Amer­icans. especially those having business

with this particular cabinet officer, would i : able to get the name right.

Hut they aren’t. Any number of

Americans can’t pronounce the presi­dent's name, but it is not a matter of

precision of pronunciation in connec­tion with that of Mr. Meyer. The “von” fascinates the throng. They can’t get away from it.

They know that, a German w ith a

“ von” before his last name is noble, and this proposition looms large in

the ir conceptions of the postmaster general. “George v. L. Meyer,” “Cl. v. L. Mever” and “George von L . Meyer” are the various ways the official’s

master General von Meyer” or— a par­ticu lar detestation— “Gen. von Meyer." which has a fleld-marshally sound,

suggesting clanking sabers and a

charge to the death. Letters so ad­dressed come from persons who should know bettor—officials and oth­

ers close to I he public affairs of the nation.

It Is by no means infrequent for

callers a t the pnstollice department to ask w ith a flourish: “Is Mr. von Mey­

er in ?”A magazine which pretends to na­

tional importance and is always filled ! with accounts of Washington affairs I

recently printed a full-page picture of i

the postmaster general and labeled it | in rarge type “Postmaster General von i

Meyer.” And the magazine is pub- j

lished in Poston, whence Mr. Meyer hails. A card in one of the elevators * of the postoflice department was

brought up to date by one of the em­ployee, who. when the cabinet change came crossed out the name of Mr. Cor to lye u and substituted “ von Mey­

er.” The card hung undisturbed for months and may be there yet. It is

Any Child Can Do It— The Result Is

Almost Like Magic— Useful, Too.

Anything in the nature of a chem­

ical experiment is always interesting and usually educative. Here is a sim­

ple experiment which any «hihl can perform and which is Instructive in a very practical way: Get a bit of W hite

Lead about the size of a pea, a piece of charcoal, a common candle in a candlestick, and a blowpipe. Scoop

out a little hollow in the charcoal to .hold the W hite Lead, then light the candle, take the charcoal and lead in

one hand and the blow pipe in the other, with the large end of the blow­

pipe between the lips: blow the flam*: of the candle steadily against the bit of W hite Load on the charcoal and If the W hite I-oad is pure it will pres­ently resolve itself Into little shining globules of metallic lead, under the

intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving

no residue.If, however, the W hite Lead is adul­

terated in the slightest degree, it w ill not wholly change into lead. So, It

will he seen, that this experiment is not only an entertaining chemical demonstration, but also of practical

use in the home. W hite Lead is the

most important ingredient of paint.It should be bought pure and unadul­terated and mixed with pure linseed oil. That is the best paint. The

shove easy experiment enables any­one to know whether the paint is the

k ind which will wear or not.The National f^ a d Company guar­

antee that white lead taken from a

package bearing their “Dutch Boy Painter" trade-mark will prove abso­lutely pure under the blow pipe test;

and to encourage, people to make the po l. iy j ic pa ins , backache , t h a t bear-

test and prove the purity of paint be- f n g ^ o w n fee ling ,fla tu lency ,ind iges- fore using it. they will send free a

A CCORDING to Uncle Joe Cannon, his. one great consuming am bi­

tion is not. to bo president of the United States, but to have a grand

funeral at public expense— not yet a while, of course. Ho confided his am ­bition to a few congressional friends on the occasion of a recent dinner

He took it up sectionaliy. He went back to the first term he served in

congress and how he felt particularly glum one day. Hale cf Maine, then in the house, vend his thought.

‘"Cannon,** said Haic. ■'you’re th ink­ing about resigning right now or re­

tiring as soon as your term expires. But you won’t. Pretty soon you’ll get

word that some fellow out your way is

a candidate for your job and then you’ll get mad and insist on keeping it for yourself."

That's what happened. Uncle Joe’s

ambition for congressional honors re­

vived and he returned to the house.

After he had served a few terms and

was just about ready to throw the

pesky job over, some one out his way

announced that as a congressman

“Uncle Joe" had been a failure and tha t some one else ought to bo nom i­

nated. That quickened his pulses once more and again he sought the nom ination and election which but for interference he m ight have spurned. Thus it went, until his influence in tho

house began to wax until important chairmanships came his way, until the

speakership was in sight.

“And now.” concluded the speaker, “my highest ambition is to be* a mem­

ber of the house as long as j live, to

die during a session of congress, aud

to be buried at the public expense with all you fellows at the funeral discus­sing. with bated breath, the q testiou

of m y successor.”

Not a word, not a single won', dur­ing the entire dinner, about that ither high am bition which is ascribe*' to him as a favorite son of Illinois.

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit­ten By a Large Snake.

How few people there are who are

not. afraid of snakes. Not long ago a harmless little garter snake fell on

the wheel of an automobile which was being driven by a woman. The woman promptly fainted and the car, left to

its own resources, ran into a stone

wall and caused a serious accident.The bite of a poisonous snake needs

prompt attention. Mrs. K. M Fishel,

Route No. 1, Box 40. Dillsburg. Pa., i tolls how she saved her life when b it­

ten by a large snake.“On August 29, 1906. I was bitten

on the hand twice by a large copper­

head snake. Being a distance from any medical aid, as a last resort I

used Sloan’s L in im ent, and to my as­tonishment found It killed all pain and was the means of saving my life. I am the mother of four children and

am never without your L in im ent."

Pete, W h itehouse B u lld o g , S t i l l O eaJ

T H K R E was great excitement in W ashington when it was reported

tho other day that Pete, the bulldog,

had returned.

Pete was the pet who almost started

war between the United States and the rest of the world by tearing the

trousers of diplomats. A t one time he had the United States army on the

run in the person of the secretary of war.

Pete disappeared some time ago.

n:id diplomats, cabinet memi -rs and

senators, knowing how much the

president thought of him . called at

the W hite House to offer condolences, coming out all smiles.

Then came the report that Pete had reappeared. Only strangers entered

the W hite House grounds after this re­port became current. The president himself was one of tho most inter­ested. He said if Pete had returned it was a twentieth century miracle.

So he investigated.

The investigation developed that Thomas R . Stone, veteran usher a t the ' w*th W hite House, had a brindle bulldog,

which he has named Pete in lienor of the original, only ho calls this one Pete the Bulldog II.

The original Pete was white, and

died under stress of circumstances in April of last year. Some one h it him

How to Raise Boys.

“Thar ain't, much of a problem in raisin' boys ef you'll have a little com­mon sense about it.’* said Mr. Billy Sanders. "Don’t iet ’em run wild like pigs in the woods, an' don't keep the j

lines too tight, an' when things go j wrong don’t be afear’d of usin ’ a raw- i hide. But don’t fergit that the mam- j

mies an' daddies of the land are twice ;

responsible when one of the'r boys j goes wrong. E f the leglslatur' wants ;

to do a good work, an' make better citizens out’n the risin' generation, let

it put a heavy penalty on the dear parents of the boys that go wrong."— Joel Chandler Harris, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.
