Into Sullinger's Hole. All this had been
long known to the boys of GriggsviHe,
whose fathers and mothers often told of
the wild day of the raid. and pointed out
the bullet-furrows in their homes. And
tney knew, too, all about SuEinger's
Hole 1t was said no one had ever found
bottom, although more than pne of the
men Of Griggsville had sounded the pool.
The earliest settlers in the county had
called it the haunted pool" but ever
since old man Sullinger had scoffed at the
Idea and had gone bathing in its waters,
never to return, it had been known as Sui
fingers Hole. All these things the boys
knew, and it was, therefore, not at all
surprising that Rudy Wilson shrugged
Els shoulders and laughed when Win
made the suggestion.
None of that for me-" he said.
"Oh, well, you needn't so along unless
you want to-" responded Will, impatient
II. "An this talk about Sulinger's Hole
being haunted is foolishness." Will was
rezy much excited. and several of the
boys at once grew interested.

now Griggsville has backed out.
"Course all of our games are OH, re-
marked Dick Lansing, disconsolately; mo

Is something going on"
Dick was the manager of the Gf7ggs-
Vile Baseball Club and he felt the dis
appointment deeply.
For a moment all the boys were silent,
as If the weight of the affection was too
great for expression. Presently Will
Spencer blurted out:
"Let's have celebration anyway. I've
got a few dollars I'll put into it and we
can get enough more among the boys to
make something of show at least-and
we'll leave the old folks out of it, too"
"That's all +ery WE'LL" returned Dick,
''but it's easier said than done," and there
the matter dropped.
The next day when the boys met at the
ball field Will came rushing up the street,
evidently much excited. AS soon as he
was within hearing he shouted:

"Well, out with it, old man; don't keep

think much of Willis many plans. For

time and Dick was little jealous of his
popularity.
As soon as VIII recovered his breath he
unfolded his schemes. 1t was to go down
to Sullinger's Hole and find the cannon
and muskets that were supposed to lie hid
den in its depths. During the war the
part Of Missouri in which Griggsville is
located had been overrun by rowing bands
If marauders, belonging to both the Con
federate and Union armies, and it was on
one of these raids that the Southerners
had pounced down upon a quantity of
stores and ammunition held at Griggsville

Cheer for the Flag.

On the Fourth Of July long ago.
That honored and fortunate day,
Our ancestors boldly said s'No!
TO the strangers imperious sway.
And undaunted by hardship and pain,
Those sturdy old heroes declared
Independence they all would maintain,
And bravely for battle prepared.
And long shall our chronicles tell
On that glorious page OF the past,
How our fathers fought nobly and Well
And our letters were broken at last.
So now on the Fourth Of July
Let children, and elder folk, too,
To that old voice Of freedom reply,
With cheer for the Red, White and Blue
Youths Companion.

No Mans Land.

Jones County, Mississippi, a COM
munity that is now being terrorized by
a lawless band, has history. Until
within the past ten years it was re-
mote from railroads and sparsely set
tied. The natives We're of an ignorant
character. They were likewise very
poor. They did not own slaves pre-
vious to the war, and the farming in
terests were of but little consequence.
The county is situated in the heart Of
the long leaf pine belt, and lies mid
way between Meridian, Miss, and New
Orleans. During the war it's popula-
ton did not exceed 5000. When Mr..
Davis made his call for troops there
wasn't single man in that county
that responded. Officers Of the Confed-
crate army were sent there to drive
the recalcitrants into the ranks. but
they were impeded in such work by
the immense and almost impenetrable
sWamps and forestA that abounded in
that country. The natives took to the
woods whenever they saw gray coat.

The first trembling uncertain grayness
of Saturdays dawn found Uncle Joshway
mounting Cawnstalk, while Blazy Ann,
Goddess-of- Liberty-like, held aloft a
flaming pine torch to light him to the gate.
Aunt Anarky handed him the saddle bags,
stuffed with eatables enough for week.
Then with vigorous kick with each heel
into Cawnstalk's sides, he rode off into
the darkness, singing:

Cawnstalk's unwilling feet entered Rus

for the excursion train to leave, and on
nearing the depot, where freight train
was steaning and creaking, his long
wavy ears stood erect in mulish terror.
Uncle Joshway was too much absorbed

BE STRONG AND HEARTY.
How To Be Strong and Full of
Life and vigor.

If you starve for two days you would
feel as weak as cat.
Proof enough that your food is the
cause of your strength.
If your stomach is sick, you're starry
ing away your strength. Slowly per-
haps, but none the less surely.
You feel it yourself.
You have nausea, loss of appetite,
headache, giddiness, PAIN in the stom-
ach, loss of strength, spirits and ambi-
ton.
What do you think? That it's your
head?
But it's not. It's simply your stom-
ach
Food is strength. Stomach makes it
available. If stomach won't work, food
does not become available strength.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will in a few
doses, make your stomach well and
help your food make you strong.
Who wouldn't be strong? Whoever
won't take Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Sick, tired, weary men and women,
those who are working their bodies and
brains too hard, will find relief and
strength in Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t makes strength. 1t makes health
1t makes happiness,

cordial.
It's pleasant to take, and more than
pleasant in it's results.

well earned victory in hilarious man
ner.
Seldom has such crowd of people
been on the streets as Saturday night.
Everybody seemed to have gone foot
ball mad and all joined in the celebra-
ton.
About 5000 New Workers witnessed
the game. They nearly all left on the
early evening trains, and but few visi-
tors remained in the city over night.
The Princeton contingent left at 7:10.
They were down hearted as matter
of course, and appeared desirous of be-
ing in seclusion.
Much praise is due to the Consolidat-
ed railroad and the street car compa-
MES for the manner in which they
handled the crowd. Satisfaction was
the sentiment Of all.
Yale's victorious eleven, few sub
stitutes, the coaches, trainers and a
few invited guests enjoyed a banquet
at the New Haven house, beginning at
Z o'clock. Julian w. Curtis, 10, made
a very appropriate speech.
