CURED BY
THEDFORDS
BLACK-OR AUGHT
Because the liver is
neglected people suffer
, with constipation, biliousness, ,
headaches and fevers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would he almost unknown.
Thedford’s Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong ana
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con
stipation and may be taken by a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness, it has an in
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed
ford’s Black-Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright’s disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a
25c. package of Thedford's Black- ,
Draught.

POSTS BECAME TREES.
Straight Bow of Beautiful Catalpas
That Had Been Division
Line Stakes. •
“People talk of the wonderful
growth of the tropical jungle,’
said a traveler to a Washington
Post man, "hut they rarely think
nf the wonderful vitality and
swift growth of our own domestic
trees in this country.
"There is the poplar, for in
stance. Kip branches from a tree,
thrust them into the ground with
out any care whatever, and inside
of throe months every one of those
branches will have sent out a mass
of roots and be developing fast
into a tree.
"1 have passed through a thicket
of poplars in New York State
where trees of about 15 feet in
height stood so close together that
a man could barely push his way
between them. They were all
flourishing, healthy young trees,
with t hick trunks.
“To my surprise, I learned from
my guide that this whole little
grove had sprungup from branches
stuck into the ground after a
windstorm had torn them from
other trees along the road.
“A still more wonderful tree is
the catalpa, known to most boys
on account of its long bean, which
some of them use for smoking after
it is dry. The catalpa has such a
remarkable vitality that even a
tree lias been cut down and sawed
into lengths again and again, to
strike root and sprout, and finally
grow up into good trees.
“1 saw a fence in the middle west
that consisted of,a straight row of
beautiful eatalpas, each of them
nearly I’ll feet high. The row was
so mathematically straight that I
wondered how the trees had grown
so, especially as the row was near
ly half a mile long. So I rode over
to them and discovered that barb
wire was stretched from tree to
tree, evidently as a division fence.
Later 1 met the owner of tin* land,
and lie explained to me how the
trees had come to grow in so per
fect a line.
“ ‘About ten years ago,’ he said,
‘1 wanted to raise a barb wire
fence along the line of my proper
tv, to prevent my cattle from
straying. I went into the woods,
and we chopped down a lot of small
eatalpas, about sapling size. We
chopped the roots off, leaving a
pointed end at the base, and
sawed tin* crowns off clean, thus
making stakes about eight feet
long. These we drove into the
ground in the row that you saw,
and attached our barb wire to
them. Inside of six months every
stake had begun to sprout, and
since then the fence stakes have
grown into trees.’ ”
THE JOY OF FEELING RICH
Even for a Little While It Is Very
Comforting, Says the New
Club Member.
“It’s a queer thing, this belong
ing to a club,’’ said a man who had
just paid his first dues, relates the
New York Sun. “Hut it’s fine to
feel rich, even once in awhile.
“Take the simplest tiling in the
world—going into tin* house. All
my life I've been used to fishing
around for a latchkey, wriggling
out of my own overcoat and hol
lering to know who was home.
“Hut when I go into my club—
notice ‘mv club.’ I can say it easy
now—when I go into my club, as I
say, I don't even push open a door
Some one in livery does that and
bows as I stalk past. I am al
lowed to lift my hat oT, but that’s
about all. And everyone says “Sir
to me until 1 feel as if part of Wall
street was mine.
“Same way if I eat there
Takes a head waiter and at leasl
one every day waiter to get me
into a chair. And as for wonder
ing what we’re going to have foi
dinner and if Sunday's roast, ol
beef isn’t about finished —why, 1
can have roast beef fresh every
day.
“You can do all that in a fine ho
tel or restaurant, but you don’i
get called by name unless you're
more of a rounder than I am—
and what’s worse is that you're noi
expected to sit around and be
waited on unless you’re spending
money in such a place.
•‘Oh. it’s great to feel rich now
and then, and I don’t know that it
makes home seem any worse.”

CHOCTAW DEATH PENALTY.
Condemned Man Was Shot by the
Sheriff in the Presence of
His Friends.
The street commissioner of
Atoka has removed one of the
oldest Indian landmarks of the
town. It was a bois d’are post 10
feet long and 12 inches in diameter,
in the middle of what is now
known as B street, says the Kan
sas City Journal. It was placed
there -LX years ago by the Choctaw
Indians, and for many vea is was
used by them as a whipping post.
Cnder the- Indian laws any person
who was convicted of theft was
tied to this post and given 50 lash
es on the bare back. For the sec
ond offense lie was given 100 lash
es; for the third offense the penal
ty was death.
In inflicting the death penalty
a block of wood was laid on the
ground against the post. The vie
iirod t/k lti a ml «»
I 1111 uu »» t II u«
was made to sit upon this block.
His hands were tied behind him,
his arms reaching around the
post, with a white spot painted
over liis heart. The sheriff, who
was the executioner, started at
the feet of the prisoner and walked
ten steps toward tin* sun.
He then turned and facing the
•man cocked his gun and announced
to the gathered throng the crime
for which the man was to die. The
friends of the doomed man were
then permitted to go to him and
bid him farewell. The father,
mol her or wife were the last per
sons permitted to speak to him,
They invariably begged of him to
be brave and die like a man, and ex
pressed their hope that they would
meet him at the happy hunting
grounds. Then tin1 sheriff took
aim at the white spot over the In
dian's heart, and so true was the
marksmanship of the executioner
that a second shot was never nee
essarv, instant death being pro
duced by the first.
It is said by those who know
that no less than 100 persons have
been tied to the Atoka whipping
[tost and whipped, and that more
than 20 have been shot at the foot
of it.
TROPICAL HOUSEKEEPING.
Methods Employed in Warm Coun
tries May Help Housewives
in America.
Although the American house
keepers have the reputation of he
ing the best in the world, they still
have something to learn. Foront
thing they can find it much easiei
to keep their rooms clean am]
bright and free from dust if the\
follow the tropical plan of polish
ing floors with beeswax, rubber
0:1 with a cocoanut husk, instead
of covering them with carpets. II
go s without saying that it is eas
ie: to sweep a polished floor thar
a carpet and the former is mud:
h< ilthier because it does not col
led the dust and dirt like a car
p< t.
Perhaps an absolutely bare
fl or, however beautifully pol
i: :0d, does not look well to eyes
unaccustomed to it; therefore, ii
would be advisable for the Ameri
c; n 1 usekeeper to place a smal
rug in front of the fireplace t(
break the monotony of the glisten
ing surface. On the mirror-likt
floor they would have a strikin',
and beautiful effect, far surpass
ing that of even the best carpets ii
the market.
This recipe for saving dust am
labor is only one of many nsefu
hints which the American wontai
may pick up from the liousekeepei
in f he tropics.
The housekeejier is always oi
the lookout for a polish for brass
es. In the West Indies a i ixturt
■ of lemon juice and ashes is uset
and a better polish cannot be se
cured.
OHIO “FIRELANDS” DISTRICT
Tract Set Apart for Connecticut Suf
ferers by Benedict Arnold •
Warfare.
Unnumbered native Ohioans,
not to speak of hundreds of thou
sands of residents of the stab " *o
have come from foreign lant sum
other states of the Anieiuun
union, must have wondered w a
fertile and productive tract in
northern Ohio, a district w in i m
no way hints of the ravages of fire,
should be called the “Firelands.
Among all the vicissitudes of,
Ohio’s early history, states the
Dayton Herald, great eonfiagfa
tions were notable for their a >
senee. No such terrible forest
fires swept this state as iu\age
large areas in Michigan and >\ w
consin 70 or 80 years later.
The fires to which the name re
fers raged in Connecticut, not
Ohio, and they were the work of
British or tory soldiers, instead
of tin* result of accidents or natur
al causes. In 1781, when the long
struggle for independence was
nearly ended, Benedict Arnold
commanded an expedition which
^ .-a
ravaged tno i onm*ninii ...
Long Island sound. He burned
New London and other towns and
left behind misery and destitution,
as well as a more bitter hatred
than he had earned before that
outrage upon his native state.
This and other cruel and sense
less attacks upon Connecticut
towns left so strong a feeling of
sympathy and injustice behind
that in disposing of Connecticut’s
l ights in lands now forming part
of Ohio, 7S1 square miles in the ex
treme western edge of the west
ern reserve were set apart to be
donated to sufferers by the British
raids. Five ranges of townships
running north and south were in
cluded in this tract.
Sandusky bay and Lake Erie ex
tend so far southward at this point
that the five ranges of townships
contained only about 500,000 acres
of land. The tract measured some
27 mill's by :?0. The Connecticut
sufferers from the torch of the en
emy lived chiefly in New London,
Norwalk and Fairfield, and it was
from those towns that many of the
settlers of the *,Firelands" came
to build in the Ohio wilderness set
tlements bearing the same names
and having like civic ideals and
character.
ANTS STAND EXTREME COLD
Man Tells About the Insects Malting
Their Home in His
Ice Box.
“There is a very popular belief
that the small aut cannot stand
inucli cold,” said a man who lives
uptown, reports the New Orleans
Times-Demoerat, “but the idea is
entirely wrong. There may have
been a time when the ant could not
endure low temperatures,but that
time has passed, if it ever existed.
“The fact is that the ant seems
to rather like the cold, if 1 may
judge from experience at my own
home. They have for some time
been in the habit of making the ice
box their headquarters. They sim
ply live there. It is the one favor
ite spot with them. Nor are they
the least bit inclined to shun the
ice. rp to very recently I had
thought that the ant was in the
habit of burrowing deep into the
ground in order to escape the
rigors of the winter. But there is
nothing in this old idea. It maybe
due to the exigencies of the strug
gle for existence, one of the t lungs
necessary in the ceaseless fight for
, life. But, whatever the cause of
it, you can put the ant down as
being able to stand more cold than
, the average human being.”
