Americas Greatest Medicine.
An Aged Scottish Order.

The Scottish Order of the Thistle Is
another aged order, but 1t is at least
$40 years younger than the Order of st.
Constantine. With commendable dis
cretion. 1t says 1t dates only from 1877.
1t must have been founded by Solvath-
ius, King of Scotland, who died in that
year, or by Achaius. King OF Scotland,
who ascended the throne in that year.
At all events, 900 years afterward. in
1GS7, James VII. King Of Scotland, re-
established it. 1t Is the only one Of the
higher orders of knighthood that has
at present among its members person
not noble; this person is John D. S.
Campbell. commonly called the Mar
Quis of Lorne, son CT the Duke of Ar
gyil.
Besides these two ancien: orders
even the Spanish military orders Of st,
James of the Sword, ITS. Of Alcantara,
1156, and Of Calatrava, 1853, seem
young, and the Danish Order of Dame
brog, 1910; the Portuguese Order of
Christ, 1918; the Swedish Order of the
seraphim, and the English Order Of the
Garter, 1850, seem quite childish.

JUST HOW DEWEY WON.
Daniel Noble Explains the Yermonter's Tricks
TO His County Neighbors.

When the news Of Dewey's victory
reached Pennyroyal. remote Western
village, and that was not many days
ago, 1t caused no excitement and there
was no celebration Of any kind, eut on
Saturday night John Bridges store was
crowded with men who wanted to hear
description of battle by DAME! Doble
and an explanation Of something's that
were not understood.
What 1 can't get through my noddle"
said Pontius Anderson, "is how none Of
the Spanish cannon balls didn't go
right through our boats jest tn same
as our balls went through theirn."
Simple enough" said Daniel Doble,
"cause our boats is made O. soft metal
an theirn's made O. brittle. Evry
time old Dewey hit Spanish boat her
sides cracked jest like they wus glass,
but when a ball hit Dewey's 1t was diff

over tn balls when they struck, not

Them Spaniards Is sharp, though,
an they ketched ont tn thing, an eff
they'd ketched On sooner mebby Dewey
had hard time. They seen th't soft
metal was tn best, so they het up
their boat, tn last one they had. To
hotter it got tn better it wuz,
an they het 'er way up.
Old Dewey seen tn balls frum his
boats wuzn't doin' no hurt an he
seen tn trick, so he yelled out t his
Captains. Don't shoot nothin' but big
balls till tn Spanish boat wuz so full

There wus twixt twelve an fifteen
thousan' Spaniards, an they made a
line more'n six miles long. 'Fire!' sez
Dewey when he seen 'em, an bang
went IS gun, tn biggest one he had
with I'm, one th't carried twelve miles.
Thet ball went chasin' down the line,
knockin' them Spaniardsover like they

knocked clean off'n ev'ry one o them.

Do You Lvear Eyeglasses?

To be really chic, says an English
observer, there are several things a
woman must attend to. The most
notable at present is the eyeslass
chain. Gold is too easily initiated,
and pearl chains, although adorable,
are expensive. A pretty idea is to
have twist of tiny silk cord to match
ones dress clasped here and there
with jewels--diamonds if you can af-
ford them, pearls or anethysts if
they suit your dress; but STEEL if these
are beyond you, has certain cachet,
for its sober charms appeal not to the
vulgar, and really good steel is not
quite the cheapest thing in the mar
ket.-New York World.

a young lady at Rome, Ga, for injuries
sustained by the bite of a spider
A few months ago the courts of Ken
lucky were laboring over the knotty oues-
uon whether mosquito bite constituted
an accident.
A company had been sued by a policy
holder who had been on too intimate terms
with a mosquito, and blood poisoning fol-
lowed the bite.
Secretary A. E. Forrest of the North
American Accident Company, had one of
the suangest experiences that ever hap
pened TO an underwater "A young man
from this city took a policy in the com
pany. In his application. as usual, appear
ed a full description of himself A few
months afterward the company was noti-
ted OF the young mans death, by being
Knocked down by train at a town down
in the state.
Mr.. Forrest took the description and at
once started to the scene of the accident
TO look after the companys interests.
When he arrived there the corpse was in
an underteker's establishment. The de-
scription as to hight, weight and physical
condition Tailed exactly with that given.
In his pocket was found the receipts for
the last three premiums. In fact. that was
the only way the body was identified, as
the man was a stranger in the town.
Mr.. Forrest had the address of the young
mans beneficiary, his mother, who lived
IN Chicago. He telesraphed her and hired
| the operator to stay at the office during
! the night, so as to receive any reply that
| might come. The mother was asked about
| the disposition of the remains. About mid
night message came to Mr.. Forrest from
| the mother, stating that her son at that
| moment was quietly sleeping at their
| home He took an early morning train
! for Chicago, went to the house, saw the
| young man, a perfect counterfeit of the
unfortunate victim down in the Illinois
| town. 1t was explained that the receipts
for the premiums paid the company had
! been lost on the street somewhere, and it
| was supposed that the man who met his
| death had picked them up in Chicago
! Mr. Forrest had left the Illinois town
| unceremoniously, and the citizens, not
| knowing the circumstances, concluded il
was an attempt TO avoid paying a death
| claim. Accordingly, Secretary Forrest
and his company received a severe trounc-
! ing in the town papers, the articles always
| being shown when ne tells the interesting
| story.
