the Fleet cadets did not come over

claim they had made arrangements
to entertain them. The Fleet boys
say they did not go because the
University people would not vouch
for the members of the team being

to be downed by professionals.
We understand that the University

in any game they have played this

for much Dragging in that direction.

A Cnnntess, Diamond.

For many years the rumor of magnifl
cent diamond, said to be in the possession
of a tribe dwelling in PARKWAY region
vaguely indicated by the expression up
country" had tickled the ears of adventur-
ers. Many had gone in search of it; none
had come within measurable distance of
obtaining it.
About this time, however QS69), a Dutch
farmer named Van Neikerk got upon the
track of the diamond He wandered from
tribe to tribe and from village to village
one day hopeful of success and the next
disappointed. At length he was directed to
a medicine man, or witch doctor, residing
in certain Kaffir village and, sure enough,
after good deal of palaver and plentiful
libations Of jowala, discovered him to be
possessed Of pure white stone of extraor-
binary size and luster, which he had little
doubt was the diamond referred to.
The witch doctor, however, was extreme
ly unwilling to part with it. A high price
was offered, then higher still, but he re-
NAMED immovable. The Dutchman now
became excited and offered him his whole
span Of oxen. To this had of necessity to
be added the tent wagon which he had fit
ted out for his journey, together with his
appurtenances. And at last, stripped of
all his belongings save his gun and ammu-
milton, he departed with the gem safely
concealed somewhere about his person.
The bargain nevertheless was a good
one, as the stone was found, when brought
to the frontier, to be beautiful, fawless
diamond of the purest water and worth
e25,OOO. This diamond-which is now in
the possession of the Countess of Dudley
may be called "the foundation stone of the
diamond industry. GOOD Words.

Indian summer and the time for gather

Whether it is the splendid colors in

the peculiar qualities of the Indian sum-

ut about the time that nuts are ready to
be gathered. Nor is this influence al
ways observable alone among the boys.
1t is quite likely, indeed, to extend to
the younger men and women, and Ihave
known staid and sober citizens to yield
to its subtle power. It's outward signs
are very diverse among different classes,
but they are quite unmistakable, once
you have them explained to you.
The boy who has fallen under this in
huence is apt to complain Of all the
symptoms of pronounced bodily illness.
Sometimes he is feverish, at other times
he seems to have cold, again he is tor
tured by terrible headache, and yet
again he speaks of a faintness so pro-
nounced that it does seem to him quite
out of the question to do any work, like
husking corn, or picking stone, or haul
ing pumpkins, or digging potatoes. That
the boy sometimes actually undergoes
severe suffering can testify, for have
myself been under this curious spell.
That parents and employers are apt to
be unsympathetic l can also affirm with
great positiveness. 1t is sometimes quite
impossible to convince these hard heart
ed people that anything is really amiss.
Once they are persuaded the symptoms
are genuine, phenomenal change is
pretty sure to come over the boy.
am quite intimately acquainted with
a youngster who was put to bed with
brown paper and vinegar bound on his
brow by his mother to relieve q splitting
headache. After she had done all she
could to alleviate LIS agonies she re-
sumed her regular daily occupations. No
sooner had she left the room than the
boy opened his eyes, which he had been
obliged to close ON account of the pain,
tore off the brown paper, got into
his clothes, bolted out Of his bedroom
window, climbed along the roof of the
clean to-" and, jumping to the ground,
lodged out of sight and made tracks in
as near Decline as he could, without
running the risk of being seen, to Dea-
con Aliens grove over on the far side of
Lint hill. There were chestnut trees
and hickory nuts and beechnuts and wal
nuts and butternuts in that grove, and a
number of boys who had agreed to loot
the trees were there ahead of this boy
and hard at work when he arrived. They
suspended operations upon his appear
ance to shout in concert. "Say, Jimmy,
howje git away"
When he had told his story, they all
went at it like Trojans again, and, al
though five minutes before Jimmys
mother had left him in his room he had
been altogether too weak to hitch up the
gray horse and take grist to mill, he
now had no hesitancy in taking the hard

and strength.


Mothers and Daughters Restored 20 Health
and strength.
Weak, nervous, delicate, oyerworked
women are tile ones that need a strength
builder, tonic for their nerves, ard
cure for that awful internal trouble that
is wearing out their lives. Thousands
of women have found such in DIR. Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. Mrs. Chris
tiana Beal of Jonesport, Me-, writes that
her daughter had been a great sufferer
from female trouble, and after repeated
trials of doctors prescriptions and other
so-called cures, all of which gave no re-
lief, she used DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy and it permanently cured her.
If you have headache, uterine catarrh,
irregular transformations, lucorrhea, or
Irregular monthly sickness, chronic
weakness, bearing down incidental to
change of life, or any of the attending
evils that are present in female COM
plants, use Favorite Remedy, for it will
build up quickly the run down constitu-
ton and bring refreshing sleep. 1t will
dIspel those tired looks and feelings, and
restore the nervous system and perman-
emily cure you. Our daughters grow up
weak and delicate; mothers can avoid
such conditions by giving them Dr.
David Kennedy's FaYorite Remedy.
