LONELIEST SPOT ON EARTH
Tristan d'Acunha Is a T nv Oasis in
Boundless Wilderness of
Water.
It was thought, that when, after
Waterloo, Napoleco was an ti t'.<.
Helena, he had been a»*tg:i"d to the
loneliest spot on earth. As n matter
of fact, St. Helena Is 1,'- •< uui« u o'
er u continent, than is Tristan
d’Acunha. Vany hundreds of in'.' - of
ocean lie between this island and ii
nearest neighbor. Tristan d'.\ utiiia,
in brief, is a tiny oasis in a b nulk-s
wilderness of waters, proem from it
in which direction one will.
It is a rocky and eliflfgirt isie with
a solitary mountain l.bOO feet high
rearing itself from the mid-'. Yet
on this lonely speck, of rock and earth,
there lives a community that ceems to
be quite happy in its isolation from
all the resi of the world. They are
farmers, cattle raisers and shepherd-.
In the vadeys of the Island are fer
tile fields where potutoe mainly are
grown. The food of the people con
sists for the nmet part of beef, mut
ton, fowls, potatoes and fish.
Cats ard Dogs.
If any man knows why there should
be a tax on dogs uml none i n cuts, let
him step forward and explain. Cats
spread disease u tin mss rid times worse
than dogs. Cats comb trees and catch
birds, while even a bird dog will do no
worse than point toward them. Cats
bite as often as dogs and they scratch
a great deal more frequ nitty. A black
cat crossing your path is bad luck, and
you never give a black dog a second
thought. There is no reason why dogs
should be discriminated against. If ;
there is to be a law imposing a tax on j
dogs, there should be an amendment
that will include cats from the time
their eyes are open until they give up
the last of their nine lives.—Columbus
Republican.
GET BEEF FROM DAIRY STOCK
Discrimination in Color in Purchasing
Meat Animals—Case of Red
and-White Holstein.
Of course all cattle can be divided
into two great classes—those of the
dairy type and those of the beef type.
In some cases members of the beef
type have large milking capacities.
These we call general or dual-purpose
animals.
But all cattle may be used for beef.
In fact, it is said that some of the
strictly dairy types furnish a splen
did quality of meat. The reason why
Dual-Purpose Shorthorn.
dairy cattle art* discriminated against
for beef purposes is that the percen
tage of offal as compared to that of
meat is so great that they are unprofit
able as beef animals.
In the West recently a lot of steers
were sold, some of them Shorthorns
and others Ilolstelns. The Shorthorn
steers sold for it little higher price
than the Ilolstelns, with the exception
of one. Now and then a purebred Hol
stein is born that is red and white, and
in this lot there was one such steer.
This animal sold for as much as the
Shorthorns. This indicates that there
is a discrimination in color in purchas
ing beef animals. If ail the Ilolstelns
had been red and white, they would
have sold undoubtedly for as much in
tlie market as tlte Shorthorns.
LIVER DIDN’T ACT
DIGESTION WAS BAD
Say* 65 year Old Kentucky Lady, Who Tell* How She Waa Relieved
After a Few Doses of Black-Draught.
Meadorsvllle, Ky.—Mrs. Cynthia
Higginbotham, of this town, says: “At
my age, which Is 6S, the liver does
not act bo well as when young. A few
years ago, iny stomach was all out of
fix. I was constipated, my liver
didn’t act. My digestion was bad, and
It took so little to upset me. My ap
petite was gone. I was very weak...
I decided I would give Black
DraugKt a thorough trial as I knew It
was highly recommended for this
trouble. I began taking it I felt
better after a tew doses. My appetite
Imprcwed and I became stronger. My
bowels acted naturally and the least
trouble was soon righted with a few
doses of Black-Draught,”
Seventy years of successful us* ha*
made Thedford’s Black-Draught a
standard, household remedy. Every
member, of every family, at times,
need the help that Black-Draught can
give in cleansing the system and re
lieving the troubles that come from
constipation, Indigestion, lazy liver,
etc. You cannot keep well unless your
stomach, liver and bowels are in good
working order. Keep them that way.
Try Black-Draught. It acts promptly,
gently and in a natural way. If you
feel sluggish, take a dose tonight.
You will feel fresh tomorrow. Price

USING DIVISORS IN TP'DF
l Why the Efficiency Expert and the
Fourflusher Got Two Weeks’
Notice.
The efficiency expert had reported
in favor of firing Binks and promoting
Jinks to the head of a department of
| the great store. As lie was a renowned
efficiency expert, paid a great price for
I a few weeks’ work, the director of the
l store listened very attentively indeed
to the recommendations.
“It's this way," explained the expert,
according to the New York Sun.
“Binks never sends down more items
for advertising than lie knows we can
give space to. lie is modest in his
i statements of fact, and very exact.
| There are hardly any complaints, but
his stuff sells very slowly.
“Jinks, on the other hand, is always
down on the mat fighting for adver
tising space. He sends down three
times ns many items as there is room
to feature, and he knows it. He is
enthusiastic and his enthusiasm makes
him overstate things occasionally. So
he is up on the carpet when he isn’t
down on the mat. But he has great
punch and sells stuff enormously. Di
viding his sales by ttie number of com
plaints, I find that tlie quotient of
his efficiency is much higher than
Binks’. That is one of our little meth
ods you may not know about. In
other words. Jinks is a good man. He
fourtlushes a lot, but he is a hustler.”
The director of the store was a man
who laid started as an errand boy. In
all the years of his patient upward
progress lie had never known what it
was to have “punch,” but he had
known many men whose painstaking
attention to business and whose mod
est conformity to the needs of their
, i --
institutions ns huge and solid as this
store. He could not remember that he
himself had ever fourflushed anybody
or sacrificed the truth for the sake of
attracting attention.
So he drew a check for the efficiency
expert and gave Jinks two weeks’ no
tice of dismissal.
!CROMWELL'S WAY WITH MEN
Lord Protector of Fngland Held All
to the Same Strict Accoj.it
abuity.
In the days when Oliver Cromwell
was lord protector of England there
was no fine dlscriaiurtti m to favor
members or. an embassy. When such
members e< ■ :itt« crimes against the
law of the :a d they were held to the
same accountability as though they
had been natives. So it was that on
July 1(5, 1058, Don l ant alt-on Sa, a
Portuguese noble, .an, n rot her of the
ambassador from that country to Eng
land. and a knight of Mmta, was be
headed on Tower hill. lie had killed
an Englishman, mistaking him for an
other.
“The Portuguese took refuge with
his brother, the ambassanor, who
claimed that by the law of nations his
house was an inviolable sanctuary for
all his countrymen. Cromwell sent a
messenger to state that if the criminal
was not given up to tr.e civil authori
ties the soldiers wcul 5 be withdrawn
from guarding the embassy and the
mob left to do as it pleased. Every
effort was made by the Portuguese and
other ambassadors to save Don Panta
loon’s life, but without avail. Crom
well made nc other reply than: “Blood
has been shed and justice must be sat
isfied.”—Indianapolis News.
Cooking With Acetylene.
Motorists on tours, whose cars are fit
ted with an acetylene gas tank for
lighting, may now enjoy a well-cooked
meal, while camping, without having
to carry an alcohol stove or make a
wood fire. They simply take the new
“hot plate” supplied by the same com
pany that furnishes the gas tank, and
—presto! a first-class gas stove is
ready. As acetylene gas gives an in
tensely hot flame, the holes from
which the gas issues are very small
and an hour's cooking requires only
three and one-half feet of gas, at an
average cost of about tea cents an
hour.
Making a Beginning.
As the result of lectures adminis
tered to him by both his father and
the young woman of his choice, a cer
tain young man decided to turn over
i new leaf and show some interest in
business.
“Well, Molly,” he said to the girl
one evening, “I am really going into
business in earnest. Made a beginning
already today.”
“Good!” exclaimed Molly. “And
what was the nature of your start?”
“I ordered my tailor to make me a
business suit.”

, SLEEP AS THEY MARCH ALONG
Soldiers and Horses in Civil War
Slumber as They Tramp
Along Road.
Soldiers remember how they and
their horses used to sleep as they
marched along, Erasmus Wilson
writes in the Pittsburgh Gazette
| Times. Strange as it may seem this
was often the case. There seemed to
be no trouble in performing the me
chanical part of walking, but then*!
; was a tendency to wander off the road.
For this reason sleepers had to be
guided or led by someone who was
| awake.
The time Kirby Smith chased Gen
eral Nelson and his men from Lexing-!
ton, Ky., to Louisville, he didn’t allow j
them a moment for rest, and what
sleep they got was snatched as they
marched. The men were mostly
new to the business, but even the old
fellows bad to succumb about the third
nignt. At times it seemed that the
whole line was asleep, but it moved
right along.
When General Jackson and his cav-1
airy joined the retreating forces liis :
men were nearly all asleep In the sad-1
die, and not a few of the horses were j
snoozing as they went leisurely to the
front. They seldom stumbled on a
smooth road, but if tiiere happened to
be u halt they would go head foremost
Into the crowd, and waken up scared
and confused.
As soon as the first rays of dawn
began streaking the horizon the
sleepy, tired feeling turn: possessed the
weary walkers would begin to disap
pear, anu by the time the dawn had
faded into day the men were stepping
out quicker and stronger, the horses
holding their heads up and all hands
looking out for something to eat. The
effect was magical.

TAKE DOAN’S KIDNEY
PILLS FOR BACKACHE
If you are lame every morn
ing, and suffer urinary ills,
there must be a cause. Often it
is weak kidneys. To strengthen
the weakened kidneys and avert
more serious troubles, use
Doan’s Kidney Pills. You can
rely on this testimony.
Mrs. L. W. Dickey, W. Arch
St., Searcy, Ark., says: “My
back ached all the time and if
I lay down for awhile, I could
hartlly get up. It hurt me to
stoop over and when I got up
mornings, I was stiff and lame
and didn’t feel the least bit
rested. My feet and ankles
swelled badly and I had rheu
matic pains in my limbs. One
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills re
lieved all these symptoms of
kidney trouble and my back
has been much stronger since.”
