Queer ideaa we 10th century peo-
Pile have about names and titles.
Take this great organization Of
workingmcn, the hard working, in
iustrious toilcrs Of our land--the
Knights OF Labor Could ipspira-
ton suggest a name more misleading
and inappropriate? II there was
anything in the world the plumed
knight didn't do. it was work. II
there was any one thing that l'ccon-
sidered degrading, It was honest toll
If there was creature in all the
world for which he had profound
contempt. il was Il workingman, He
called the honest laliorer a hind. q
cllurl, base born. ignoble, u clown
He believed that the working man
was made Of coarscr clay than the
knight Of gentle blood; think be
even doubted II the labortr had a
soul A cowardly, quarrelsnme,
hard-drinking, Dragging, thieying,
''high, born" knaye, who barrieaded
himself and his horse III a ton Of
larmor plating, and with n lance 20
feet long rode into mob Of half
naked wretches armed with bows
and arrows, and called it war. Why
the honest, brave. toiling workers Of
to-day, free-born men, should want
to call themselves knights rathcr
than yeomen, don't know Ali
brethren, the Englishman isn't the
only man who dearly loves lord. "
We seem to love even the faded rem
iniscencc Of one.
Why, out in Emporia, Kan, while
! was waiting for "thuDderbolt
train" that was six hours late,
voice called into the waiting room,
sSir Walter!' and sSir Walter said
"Hcy?" and got up. ! observed ISL
Walter" The grim old knight wore
sword belt three sizes too small for
4 him, and his rnpier hung down be-
tween his legs. His boots wore the
rudy hue Of boots that shnddered at
the scent Of backing; large, roomy,
many wrinkled boots they were, and
the soil of the Kansas corn field chung
to them in gouts and patches. His
black pantaloons, scant in the lean
pattern Of bygone day, bagged
Ifearfully at the punched and bony
knees, and his black frock coat was
a nightmare. But Sir Walters hat
was the hat Of plumcd knight, and
it lent to his grizzled face and bony
figure the genial aspect Of scare
crow that had gone through MILL
merry store. "Sir Walter" looked q
moment for convenient corner, but
finding none, turned his face toward
the stove, projected his underlip q
scant half-incb, and with one sibi-l
liant, well-directed shot put out the
| fire, tossed his now useless quid IN
after it, and without pausing to gaze
upon the ruin, followed "Sir George"
out Of the door, They were knights
Of something omniscient Provi<
dence only knows what-but they
were knights. And, possibly, bar!
ons. They looked barren.

Examine your deeds and see If
the Recorders certificate is endors-
ed thereon, and II not recorded you
will observe the1following reasons
Why they should be recorded:
l. Because a deed which il not
recorded within six months sitter the
execution Of the same, shall be adj
judged fraudulent against any sub
sequent purchaser Of valuable con-
sideration.
2. Because IL two deeds are made
Of different dates from the same
grantor to different persons, neither
of which is recorded within six
months, that which is first recorded
will take priority.
8. Because purchasers who neg
lect TO put their deeds upon record
as prescribed by law, incur the risk
Of former owners giving liens upon
same.
A. Because monied men will not
make any loans to parties whose
deeds are not recorded
8. Because, if by loss or accident
a deed would be destroyed, il would
be very expensive to get another.
6. Because to preserve chain Of
title it is requisite to have all the
deeds recorded.
7. The Supreme Court has decided
that the above statements apply az
well to the following instruments a.
to deeds, viz: Voluntary convey
ances, declarations Of trust, equita-
bic titles, marriage articles, assign
ment Of mortgages, and subsequent
purchase of prior right.
The-law, expressly protects the
purchaser Of a record title who re-
cords his deeds.
s. Many deeds and other instru-
ments affecting titles in this country
are not recorded. Proposed sales
fail; borrowers cannot secure money.
Deeds are mislaid, burned, torn,
mice-eatcn and mutilated and de.
stroyed. Law suits are provoked
and titles are uncertain and con-
fused,

THE YOUNGEST LIFE PRISONER,
He is But IL, and He Killed His 6.Year.
Old tSister.

The youngest life prisoner in the
United States is confined in the
Kentucky State prison at Frank
fort.
He is eleven years old.
He killed his 6-yeareld sister.
He was full of whiskey when he
did it.
The story is horrible, but in
structive.
There lived last winter, twenty
two miles from jackson, Breathitt
county, KY, Mrs. Elizabeth Combs,
her daughter, Annabel, her son, Lin
vile, and her lover, Thanks Collins,
low sort of q cur. The acting
stepfather regarded the boy and girl
with feelings of aversion, and such
was his influence over the mother
that he eventually succeeded in in
spring in her a similar sentiment to-
wards her offspring. Linnville says
his mother once attempted his life.
She endeavored to stone him to
death and he fled his home, but ven
tured to return when he thought her
fury had subsidized. Not long after
Thanks Collins said to Lin
vile:
Il will buy you new boots and
suspenders and give you 80 in mon
ey if you will kill Annabel." Lin
vile shook his head and said he
wouldn't do it. Urged again and
again by Collins, and piled with
whiskey until his brain was in a
whirl, the boy hardly knowing what
he did, seized a skillet, and as his
little sister, all unconscious Of her
doom, was leaving the table, he STEP
ped up behind her with the rude
weapon and struck her on the back
of the head. She fell on her face,
her skull crushed in at the base.
The brutal Collins and the chill
dren's mother had been willing wit
nesses Of the boys awful deed, but
now, suddenly seized by horror and
fear, they made haste to get away
Linville dragged the 1ifeless body Of
his little sister to an out house, and
walking to Jackson, informed the
undertaken that there was dead
girl up at Thanks Collins house
and to take coffin up there and
bury her
/ Thus the crime was discovered.
A month elapsed before the arrest
and confession of the boy murderer
Mrs. Collins and her lover was also
apprehended, but escaped punish
ment for their share in the death Of
AnDabel, while the boy received 6
life sentence Some of the jurors "a
vored hanging, but the boys tender
years saved him from that fate.
The prison officials, with whom
Linville is favorite, characterizes his
sentence as outrageously severe, and
it is the general opinion that event
ually he will be granted a pardon
Warden Taylor is not in favor o.
sending boys under 8 years of agt
to the penitentiary. He has now un
der his charge five Of these youthful
convicts.

bright lad, works at Gaming chairs
He was received at the prison abou1

For many centuries there has been
tradition Of long lost island call
ed Atlantis.
The Greek biographies located it
in the Atlantic Ocean west of the
northwest part of Africa and the
Pillars Of Hercules. The sea kings
of Atlantis are said to have invaded
Europe and Africa, and to have been
defeated by the Athenians.
All the legends agree that it
was vast Island, of inexhausti-
bic resources, and inhabited by
race of superior people. For
ages this island has existed only in
legendary lore. But now, when the
light Of modern research is turned
full upon the investigation, behold
the lost Atlantis at our very doors.
SO the bigoted medical fraternity
goes cropping about in the dark, seek
ing for an Atlantis or Esculapius,
when if they would investigate, they
would behold the lost Atlantis at
their very door, With their ancient
text book, case Of physic, paper
in their waistcoat giving them IL
censc to practice, experiment and
dose with their injurious drugs,
cautcrize and perform unnecessary
acts, with no person or laws to hold
them accountable, they continue
their bigoted, unjustified practice,
staring into vacancy, and imagining
that they see in themselves an Els
culapius,
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they
are crying out against all improve
ments that have been made in medi
cal science. They denounce any new
idea advanced by layman or an OPP
position school as fraud.
Why?
Because humanity will not be ben
Gifted? Not at all, but because their
specialism did not make the discov-
cry.
Yet they concede that there is nc
remedy known to their materia medi-
ca that will cure an advanced kid
ney malady and the diseases aris-
ing thcrefrom-al although many Of
them know from browning proof that

scrupulously treat symptoms and
call them a disease, when in reality

A few of the more honest physi
clans admit that Warmers Safe Cure

blessing to mankind, but say in Sc
many words, when asked why they
do not prescribe it, that it is not ac-
cording to their code.

About Doctors Bills.

Many struggling family has all

of corn will be exhibited. American
cooks in attendance will prepare
corn for food in all the various ways
