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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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.

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.

As soon as I hoard that the ducky had begun to come in I packed my grip for Sowders’. and sent Dlb Sovr- d«rs a telegram. That night I reached his farm, and the next night we were at camp.
Karly the next morning I skipped out by myself to try a few ducks be
fore we got things settled down ho aa to hunt together, and I found a likely- looking spot in among the willows
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. Tho live decoys splashed and dovn for smart-weed, and pretty soon a pair of mallards came over and saw them. They sailed around a couple of times over the willows and then came In grand. I salted both of them, and waded out and gathered (hem. After that. I didn’t seo am thing for a couple of hours, but a few flocked away to the north.
low. It seemed like a good mouth- tillin' name and so Vv’ib christened him Leander.
“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.’

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.
• nut. the old man he allowed it was just the cross he wanted. Pure hound for tho scent and following the trail,
part, wolf for cunnin', and bull for hold- on. W hen that pup was only a few weeks old he came swhnmiu* after
a r.kii'f the old man and a fellow from Sain: Locey was in, and the fellow
says, 'W hat’s his name?’ And oid
: haln 't named him yit.’ .......... .auder,' says I his here fei-
“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
takes away,’ says the oid man, ‘blest be the name of the Lord.’ W hy they
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.
IX M. C A R R .
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.

MANY INFLUENTIAL PEOPLEMPTJEW THEORY
Statem ents from Followers of Cooper Ob= tained Recently in Various Cities.
A number of statements from prom i nent people located in various cities where the widespread discussion ovor L . T. Cooper's new theory rc^ard ics the hum an stomach hn.s recently ■waged, give or* idea of the Intense in terest. the young iuan has aroused during the past year. Tno statements arc
as follows:Mr. C. D. M itchell, o f 2412 Avenue
Miss Lotta is a vocalist of j i n C ^ smedicine: “ I have been troubled w ith indigestion aud stomach trouble for the past year. I had heartburn, bloating after eating, gas on stomach and bowels, pa lp ita tion of tho heart, pain in the lower part of m y back, and various other symptoms, and was a v ic tim o f m uch distress. I tried m any remedies, bu t received litt le or no benefit from them . I was advised to try tho Cooper preparations, and did so. 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.”

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
ength in the forthcoming report
of the institute, and will be a com
plete account of the find, pictures

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,

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.
