A policeman ought to be detailed to
clear away the crowd which gathers in

first meal in camp their bad luck COM
menced. Cy Willis and Fred Gordon
We're looking around to see if the
"coOns" had left any foot prints and in
the darkness they walked off a steep
bank and fell % feet into about Is feet
of water. 1t was with a great difficulty
that they were rescued, but they were
finally pulled out. Gordon was too
weak to take part in the hunt so Good
win, Rigby and Willis stayed in camp
to entertain him. They got out some
squares of loaf sugar from the commits
sary numbered the different sides from
one to six. The mysteries of ''seben-
eleben" were soon explained. The rest
of the party managed to get four coons
and four possums. The party returned

James Crooket, a sturdy old Seotehman,
living in Detroit, Mich, at IS MOntcalm
Street was asked about his wonderful cure.
So First" be said, 90 must tell you some
thing Of my life before my almost fatal sick
ness. I was born in Scotland in 1872, and
came to this country IN 1913. am a marine
engineer by trade. In 1872 / was In the
CATION Co.. and for fifteen years / was chief
engineer on one of their big passenger
steamers. Ny first boat was the K. y. Rice,
which was burned at the docks. Then 1
was transferred to the Rubie, which was
chartered TO make the run between Detroit
and Cleveland.
IS 1 brought out the new steamer the City
of the Straits and for years acted as her
chief engineer 1t IS great responsibility,
the position of chief engineer on those big
passenger palaces. Thousands of lives are
held in the keeping of the engineer The
anxiety causes q great nervous strain, and
the strictest attention IS necessary Not Tor
a moment must he lose his watchiulness-
. For fifteen years [ carefully watched
the big engines and boilers without a single
accident. and only noticed that I was getting
nervous. Suddenly without warning l was
taken sick, and in less than a week l was
Frustrated. I had the best of physicians
] grew gradually worse, and at the council
of doctors they said 1 had nervous prostra-
ton and had destroyed my whole nervous
system and would never be able to be up
again. They said I had worn myself out by
the long nervous strain caused by Watching
and worrying about the machinery. For
three long years ! was unable to move from
my bed without assistance The doctor SAID
I had locom0tor ataxia, and would never be
able to walk again.
g The pains and suffering I experienced
during those years are almost indescribable.

SMITH ANTI-LELAND.
The Farmer" Working the
Opposition to Leland.
To Climb Back to a Position in
State Politics.
But the Party and the People Seemed
to Have Rolled Along Far Ahead.

The publication of the name of A. w.
Smith of Mcpherson in the list of can
didates for governor last night, the
Journal gave to the people the first in
timation that Mr.. Smith was in the
race.
Mr.. Smith is out for the place al
though he is of the opinion that candi-
dates who are running this year may
not be in 1t next year and for that
reason he proposes to keep his boom
out of sight until that time.
Mr.. Smith has passed through an ex-
per1ence which has come to but few
men in the United States, that of not
having had an opportunity to make
another trial for a place when once de-
feated. In Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine,
MaSSac huSettS and in fact nearly all of
the eastern states it has been the gen
eral rule where a man was nominated
and defeated for governor, to place him
at the head of the tickt at the ensuing
election and give him another chance.
Mr.. Smith has been a candidate so
many times that like 'Aristides the
Just, people are tired hearing of him.
The procession has passed on by him
The noise of the bands is heard far
ahead IN the distance. Other men are
coming to the front and have come to
the front. After a struggle of ten years
to be elected to SOmething,it seems that
the fateS are against him. But a man
bitten by the serpent of office seeking
never seems to get over it. The virus
is in his blood. A. w. Smith stayed by
Leland until Leland kicked him aside
and now it is personal revenge that
prompts him to run for office. There
are other men whom Leland is using
now and whom he will throw overheard
when the time comes. Jim Simpson is
one of them. Simpson now takes all
LeIand's kicks, cuffs and snarIs with
due humility, but it will do him no
good. He will never get any more
than A. w. Smith got. 1t takes some
men a long time to find out when they
have been stepped on. A. w. Smith
has found out.
