They PLAYED Poker.

In the summer of 1910 Henry Claw
went to Kentucky on his vacation.
Three nights after his arrival at a GER
tain springs sociable game began. In
the game were Mr.. Clay, Josiah Black
burn, John Hardin and Sam CLAY, a
cousin of the statesman. 1t began on
Friday night and ran along with vary
ing luck. They were all old hands and
had the nerve to back their cards. At
10 o'clock Saturday night Blackburn
quit little ahead. He had been mar
ried only two months and was afraid
his young wife would think he was
dead. Sunday morning at 0 O'Clock
some one raped on the door. It was
opened, and negro girl stood in the
hall She had clean shirt in her hand.
and on the bosom was q note from Har-
din's wife, "For Mr.. John Hardin,
wherever he can be found" The door
was closed and play resumed. Hardin
changed his linen at the table. San

Little Indians at PLAY.

What unconfined joy when the camera
came out to picture some one, or when
we played pa-tol, the game Of the
bounding sticks. or the aboriginal hide
and seek! Widest of all was the fun
when the fire fights were on, and one
party defended the pueblo and the 9TH
er, assuming to be Comanche, attacked
1t at dusk. Then how we rolled adobe
mud pellets and stuck them Oh the tops
of our throwing sticks and jammed a
live coal into the side of each and sent
them HURTING into the enemy's camp
until all the sky seemed to rain shoot
ing stars. And what perfect spirits!
Now and then fire ball would find
Its billet. and there would be howl Of
pain, and in the next breath the wound
ed warriorhng would be bombarding
again, with more spirit than ever, and
not whit worse nature. That is an
other OF the good things that generally
go with the brown skin-these Children
Of the Sun, young and old, are fit play
ers at any game. for they do not lose
their tempers. They give and take like
the manly creatures nature meant us to
be, and not the peevish, selfish, inflam-
mable things that civilization has made
as. would like to see just how long
one OF these happy fire fights could go
on between an equal number of Little
Lord Fauntleroys before there would be
several real fights on hand.-C. F.>Lum-

Salvation Army Marriages.

In speaking Of the Salvation Army

tabhshed General Booth says: q would
that we had some such arrangement for
every soldier in our ranks. Beyond
question it will come to that. Indeed l
shall not be surprised to find myself
looking down from heaven in future
years and seeing the wholesbusiness of
the selection of partners for marriage
Entrusted to councils of the wisest, most
experienced and spiritual of our officers,
who will arrange not only who each
officer and soldier shall marry, but the
time OF the event, and, in certain cases.
whether they shall marry at all, instead
OF the business being left to the hap
hazard, accidental, irrational system
or no system at all-of individual
choice as at present. p

The Leper and the Flaestone.

One of the principal legends connect.
ed with st. Patrick's altar stone, a.
cording to a writer in Donahoe's Maya
zine, is called the Legend of the Leper
and the Flagstone. This story runs as
follows: When st. Patrick was embark
ing for Ireland to enter upon his mis-
sion, poor 1eper came to the seashore
just as the ship was about to weigh
anchor and earnestly begged to be taken
on board. 1t is probable that he had
heard something of the holiness of the
saint and the proofs of divine favor con-
ferred upon him, and that deep within
his inner consciousness there was born
a hope, vague at first, but gradually
growing stronger, that in the company
of st. Patrick he might expect some
amelioration of his pitiable condition.
Something in the man appealed to the
saint, who was SO deeply touched by
his pleadings that he expressed wish
to have the despised leper taken on
board. but fear and prejudice had such
an influence over the sailors that they
would not allow the leper on board, and
the ship began to move out while the
afflicted man continued to plead from
the beach. The saint took his altar
stone and cast it ON the water within
reach of the leper, telling him to sit on
it and remain perfectly quiet. Again
was the faith Of the man shown, and
as soon as he had seated himself the
stone began to move over the water. It
followed Immediately in the wake of
the ship until it reached the harbor of
Wicklow, and the leper thus reached
the shores of Erin in safety. st. Patrick
again took possession of the stone,

About 1t.
From jackson Citizen. !,

\CEOm J6Ck6Cu ClClzon.J
Mr.. a. E. Wing is q keeper at the
Michigan state prison at Jackson, q
position he has held for years. Our
representative found him at his resi-
dence. No. 612 North jackson street
and he related the following Incl.
dent. the truth of which is beyond
dispute. for MIR. Wings sterling
qualities are we'll known to his many
acquaintances. Being q good man
and faithful officer. he would not
misrepresent anything that would
wrongly impress our citizens.
He says: Some months ago my
attention was attracted by q swelling
in my groins which began to increase
to such an extent that was alarmed.
1t spread down my legs right into
my feet 30 bad that l could not get
my pants or shoes on; the latter
had to open fully two inches. My
condition was very bad; my face
even paffed up; my whole system
was affected and l could hardly walk
up stairs to unlock my men. went
to physician, one of the ablest in
the city. He said the swelling was
caused by my kidneys, and COM
menced treatment with him. but my
condition did not change and
seemed to be getting worse. About
this time a friend strongly urged me
to try Doan's Kidney Pills and
finally consented to let him get q
box for me. After the first week of
their use l noticed a change and
continued the treatment until l took
five boxes. The happy result was
they completely cured me. must
confess that l WAS surprised at the
result. have never heard Of any
medicine which seemed to have such
radical effect and yet leave the
system in such good condition.

After the effect was once tablished

A FAMOUS BAKERY.

How the Bollands Became Cakemalrerv
For the Royal Fanny.
In one Of the old buildings which
bear the architectural imprint Of Queen
Anne's time in Chester, England, is !
bakeshop-not an ordinary bakeshop,
fer the royal arms jut out from the sec.
ond story. and Immediately above is a
sign bearing the name 'sBollande. -
And the proximity Of the sign to the
royal arms is no idle commercial myth
to. insnare new customers.
In the annals Of the tradesfo]k of
Chester there never was a greater man
than Richard Bolland, the original
owner Of the bakeshop. In 1886 the
Duchess Of Kent and her young dauQb-
ter, the Princess Victoria, visited the
city for the purpose of officially opening
a new bridge that was to bring ali
kinds Of Importance and prosperity to
the town. OF course it was an immense
event for Chester, and every one did
something to make the visit of the
great folks memorable.
Richard Bolland was ambitions. but
poor, and he churned his brains might
lily to devise some attractive method of
showing his loyal appreciation of the
visit. In happy moment he decided to
make some small cakes of transcendent
excellence, put them in fancy box and
present them to the young princess.
Happy thought! Potent cakesi Great
BOlland!
The next year the little princess,
whose palate had been enchanted by
the flavor of the Chester cakes, became
queen of England, and one of the first
acts after her accession in 1887 was the
appointment of Bolland as one of the
queens warrant holders. So much for
the power Of box of small cakes.
How long the favor of those cakes
fingered in the royal memory is shown
by the fact that % years later, when
the Prince of Wales was to be married.
Victoria gave commission to Bolland
to prepare the wedding cake for that
great event. 1t was no ordinary we'd
ding cake that Mr.. Bolland produced
either, and its exhibition earned him
such tremendous fame that every Eng
lish bride of wealth and prominence
who has married since then has had
the Chester baker prepare her wedding
cake.
Descendants Of the original Bolland
now conduct the shop, but they use the
same recipe that proved SO successful in
the days of Victoria's childhood, and
still bake cakes for the royal family

TIE Chicago Inter Ocean

TIE Chicago Inter Ocean, which
Sunday had an editorial which, while
containing some Inaccuracies. was
fair to the Rock Island side OF the
Woodmen removal controversy, to-
day INDUCES in a scandalously, un-
just and untrue statement Of the case
through its editorial columns in an
effort to square itself with the Full.
ton side. The substance Of the In
ter Oceans position today is that
the supreme courts decision OF last
May was perpetual as far as the
Woodmen Office removal is con.
cerned. and therefore the Rock Island
ers were taking matters in their own
hands in going to Fulton. This is
not In accordance with the facts in
any particular. The supreme court
decision referred only to what was
done at Omaha and ut Madison, and
distinctively SO stated. 1t was on
this account that the Illinois legisla-
ture acted as it did after the su-
preme court handed down its decis-
ion in making such amendments as
were necessary in the statutes OF the
state to meet the defects pointed out
BY the supreme court, and the head
camp at Dubuque conducted itself
entirely In accordance with the stat
utory amendments and the supreme
court rulings, and thereupon relo-
Gated the head Office at Rock Island.
