A Girl in Boots.

For several months past, among the
many teamsters and wood-choppers
working for the railroad company at
and in the vicinity Of Poplar Bluff,
Arkansas, there has been one, a trim,
very smooth faced fellow especially
noticeable. lie was popular with all
his associates, owing, perhaps, to his
boyish ways and his straight forward
bearing. He did not indulge in the use
of intoxicating liquors, and night after
night, as the men were grouped around
the camp-f fire, his CHEEKY voice, as he
sarg the rude ballads of his compan-
ions made the forest ring. About ten
days ,since he fell victim to chills
and fever, and while delirious, his at
tendant made the startling discovery
that their favorite was not what he
claimed, but woman in disguise. At
night, on the return of the choppers to
the camp, the Information was impart-
ed, and the next day the girl was car
ried to Poplar Bluff, where, under the
care of the physician, she soon recOv-
cred. Her occupation gone, she found
herself an object of suspicion and Curl
osity. Unable to obtain work suitable
for her sex, few nights since she
donned her "old Clothes" and, as We
learn from Conductor Welsh, came to
Judsonia, where size is again at her old
occupation-driving team. The girl,
when questioned as to her reasons for
leading the life she does, answered
frankly that she could not obtain en-
ployment suitable for a woman, and
that as a man she receives much larger
pay than she would as a common do
nestle.

How lie Cured smokey Chimney.

Recently, as a citizen of Woodward
avenue. Detroit, was helping Il tinsmith
TO elevate a smoke-Jack to the roof of an
addition on the windy side ofthe house
before hosting It atop of smoking
chimney, an old man with a ragged
bundle under his arm came along,
halted and soon became interested.
That chimbly smokes don't it:" he
finally inquired.
'It's the worst one in town, replied
the citizen.
"And you want to stop the nuisance
eh?''
''Yes, do
"And you think the smoke-;ack will
do it:''
81 hope so"
"Well, now, II kin stop that smoking
in ten minutes, and / wont hurt the
chimbly nor put up any smoke-jacks," P"
continued the old man as he laid down
his bundle.

kin / have the kitchen for five min
utes: - asked the man.
The cook was instructed to yacate
and the old man too& possession. Re
moving the top Of the stove he poured
in enough water to put out every spark
or fire. Then going out he called to
the citizen on the roof.
Has she stopped smOking:"
''Well | don't see any smoke at all, =
was the reply; what nave you done: -
While he was coming down the lad
der. the old man made off, eating pie
he had taken from the oven. The last
half of it he had to bolt down while on
the run, but at no time in the race did
the citizen, tin-smith or seryant-girl
get within twenty rods of him.

An Ancient Relic.

Mr.. James =. Swift, agent of the
Equity Coal Company, of Evansville,
Ind, is the owner of musical instru-
ment which has attained remarkable
age, surviving by many years all the
human beings who started out on the
voyage OF life with it, unless, perhaps,
it be the old South American soldier
who has lately come to light, in the
newspapers, at the age of one hundred
and eighty. An inscription, inlaid in
the case shows that the antique piano
was Repaired and improved in 1907
by James Henry Houston, Grand and
Square Pianoforte Manufacturer, War
dOJr Street, London" How many
years il had been in use when these re-
pairs were made, there are no means
of knowing, but it is safe to say the pi-
anO, or more properly speaking, harp
sichord, is not less than 175 years old
at the present time 1t was brought to
this country in the year 1923, by the
Owen family, and formed one of the at
fractions in the home of that cultured
family at the time OF their settlement
in New Harmony in 1925. 1t came into
the possession of Mrs. Swift, the
mother of the present owner, in 1880,
and has been kept as an heirloom in
the family ever since. Truly there is
nothing new under the sun, for it is
almost fac-simile of the grand piano
of the present day. The case is made
of a dark, rich brown colOred wood re-
sembling black walnut or mahogany
and though very much defaced now,
shows plainly that at one time it was
highly polished. y pattern of leaves
and flowers inlaid in different colored
woods, ornaments the space above the
keyboard. The keys which are CON-
paratively few in number, as it is an
instrument of but five octaves are yell
low with age. In the rage for the an
tique which prevails at present, this
relic of past century would doubtless
command an almost fabulous price
from some collector of Queen Anne
cabinets and blue and white china,
were Its owner disposed TO part with it

Presently the Western train came
due, a tired looking woman came in
with two children hanging to her skirts

Absent Minded.

A New Yorker recently returned
from Paris in which city he had provid-
ed himself with several nice packages
of gloves for his own use at home. He
mentioned the fact OF the purchase to
several friends. remarking: 'They are
a specially fine make of gloves, with
which we in New York are entirely I'M
acquainted. But they are all the rage
in Paris-in fact, the only kind sold
there. Every shop deals in them, and
the makers name is painted up in
large letters on every gloye-seller's
window or sign-board."
''Indeed ~ said his friends. All the
same maker?"
"Yes. l never intend to wear any
other myself. I've tried Jouvin's
gloves, Alexandre's gloves, and Jugla's
gloves, but l like these the best OF
all.
"Whose gloves are they:"
"Gant gloves. You see the name al
over Paris-'Gant's Gloves
After the laugh was over, he said he
knew we'll enough that gdnts is the
French for gloves only he did not
stop to think.

A Famous Tobacco-BoN.

There was recently exhibited at two
of the London clubs a box which be-
belongs TO the Past Overseer's Society
of the Parishes of st. Margaret and
St. John, Westminster, called: "The
Westminster Tobacco-BoX." So re-
markable is its history that not only
has the Society of antiquaries held dis
cussions over it, but it has been hon.
ored by personal reception" by her
Majesty. This box, or rather the orig
inal, for it is composed of no fewer
than seven boxes in one, and the box
is the smallest of them all, was only an
ordinary horn "baccy" box, the gift of
one of the Oyerseers of st. Margaret's 5
to the conviyial club to which he then
belonged, in the year l7l3. The MEM
bers were delighted with the gift, and
recorded their appreciation by silver
rim affixed to it in 1720. This little bit
of silver seems to have worked Won
ders, for every successive parochial Of
ficer of st. Margaret's or st. Johns
also affixed silver plate and rim. the
subject being of either parochial or
national interest, and when the box be-
came covered, other boxes were built
around it, so that at the present time,
to the ordinary oval box four and one
half inches long by three and three
quarter inches wide, of three-quarters
of an inch inside depth, and thirteen
and one-quarter inches round, six
other boxes have been added, the last
being octagonal in shape, about five
feet round and three feet high. While
the first or original box only weighs
some ten ounces, the last weighs near
ly half hundred pounds, the whole
seven weighing about twice as much.
Each silver plate represents some pa
rochial or national event of interest
which has occurred during the year of
office of the doners; the first of the
series being representation of the
battle of Culloden in 1746-a design, it
is said by Hogarth; and the last three
the proclamation of the Queen as En-
press of India, the erection of the Cleo
parra Needle, and the loss of the steam
boat Princess Alice, the cases thus rep
resenting at one view one hundred

The Only Way.

The only way to cure catarrh Is by
the use of a cleansing and healing To-
ton, applied to the inflimed and dis
eased membrane. Snutfs and fumiga-
tors, while affording temporary relief,
irritate the affected parts and excite a
more extended Inflammation. Besides,
no outward applications alone can cure
catarrh. The disease originates in a
viliated state of blood, and thorough
Alternative course of treatment Is neces-
sary to remove it from the system. DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy has long been
known as an efficient standard remedy
for this disease, but, to insure and per-
manent cure, it should be used in con-
junction with DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, the best vegetable al
terative yet etdiscovered. The Discovery
cleanses the vitiated blood, while the
Catarrh Remedy allays the infiamma-
ton and heals the diseased tissues.
