Foul Play Suspected.

Late Tuesday evening Coroner Gaines was notified by wire from Pal. estlne, that the body of colored man was lying in the L'Anguille river just below the railroad.
 The following morning the coroner and jury of inquest investigated. ss best they could, and from all that could be learned, it was decided by the in. quisition, that the body was that of Hugh Reynolds, of this place, and the verdict WAS so rendered. Later it de- veloped that this decision was mis- take and that the fioater was the body of Sam Malone of this place.
 Malone left the city Saturday night on the west bound train, bound for Brinkley and on account of his drunken condition, was put off the train at Pal. estine. It is supposed that in his stupid condition he fell. or was pOssi- ply knocked from the trestle by the morning train, which passes that point about daylight, or it is possible that he was foully dealt with. xs he was known to have money on his person. The body showed evidence Of being bruised but from it's distorted condition. it was impossible to decide the nature and ex tent of such injuries.
 Malone has relatives in this city who aided the coroner in establishing his identity; not, however. until the body was buried, near the scene of his death.

How a Well-Trained BOY Secured &

A gentleman advertised for boy,
and nearly so applicants presented
themselves to him. Out of the whole
number he selected one and dismissed
the rest.

ION what ground you selected that boy,

"You are mistaken" said the gen
tleman; "he has a great many. He
wiped his feet when he came in, and
closed the door after him, showing that
he was careful. He gave his seat in
stantly 10 that lame old man, showing
that he was thoughtful. He took off
his cap when he came in, and answered
my questions promptly, showing that
he was gentlemanly.
He picked up the book which I had
purposely laid on the floor and re-
placed it on the table, and he waited
quietly for his turn, instead of pushing
and crowding, showing that he was
honorable and orderly. When ! talked
to him l noticed that his clothes were

wrote his name noticed that his finger

BIRDS AS SURGEONS.
The Snipe Displays Wonderful Sur
gicaI Talent in Repairing DAM
ages to It's Body.

Some interesting observations made
by NJ. Fatio on the surgical treatment
of wounds by birds were recently
brought before the Physical society of
Geneva. In these it was established
that the snipe had often been observed
in repairing damages. With its beak
and feathers it makes a very credita-
BILE dressing, and has even been known
to secure broken limb by means of
stout ligature. On one occasion M.
Fatio killed snipe which had on its
chest large dressing composed of
down from other parts of the body
and securely fixed to the body by
coagulated blood. Twice he had shot
snipe with interwoven feathers
strapped on to the side of fracture
of one or other limb. The most inter-
esting example was that of snipe both
of whose legs he had unfortunately
broken by misdirected shot. He only
recovered it on the following day,
when he found that the wounded bird
had contrived to apply dressings and a
sort of splint to both limbs. In carry
ing out this operation some feathers
had become entangled about the beak,
and, not being able to use its claws to
get rid of them, the poor creature was
almost dead from hunger when found

guage. The captain was 'it" then, and had
to reply. He is not an eloquent man at any
time, and he is extremely shy; but he had
written out graceful speech of accept
ance, and he stepped forward confidently
and received the banner.
Ladies', he began, in Fourth Of July
voice, Ladies, we will accept this flag. La
dies, we've will accept this flag" Here
his color forsook him. He had forgotten the
hest of his speech. One trembling hand
sought the pocket of his blouse. The manu-.
script was gone
Ladies' he began again, desperately,
with gulping kind of gasp, Ladies, we
will accept this flag, and, and. and thanks

had prepared, but the captain doesn't like

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
With Proper Drainage They Are
Easily Maintained at All Sea-
rl sons of the Year.

"The great secret of success in road
making and bookkeeping is to drain
the roads, and keep the roads drained
by keeping the bitches open," writes
John Gilmer Speed on How to Have
Good Country Roads," in the Ladies
Home journal. "The old method was
to run plow through the side bitches
and throw the disturbed soil, sod and
all, in the middle of the road. There it
would stay till heavy rain came to
wash this soil back into the ditches
and fill them up again. If there were
money enough this4ind of thing would
be done over and over again, as often
as four times in year. Where there
were wet spots broken stone or gravel
would be placed in the road and left
for the passing wagon to wear this
metal into ruts. The money spent was
absolutely thrown away.
"By the new process all the road
mender needs 10 do is to provide ditch
es and outlets for them, and then so
shape the road that the water falling
in a rainstorm will run off at once into
the bitches. The water must not be
suffered to run in the road, but off the
road. The rainfall, being thus simply
and effectively disposed of, becomes a
most beneficial instead of a destruc-
tive agent; it cleans, and shapes, and
hardens the roadway, instead of wash.
ing it away and deepening the ruts
When there are wet places, such as
springs, in the roadway, gravel and
broken stone will not cure such things.
The water must be drained off under
meath the roadway and into the ditch
es by means of pipe or blind drains.
The whole thing is so simple that any
one can easily master the principles
and put the details into practical op-

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularityis matter of Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong andindicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation Of woman's health Is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith in patent medi'
cines. 1 now wish to say that / never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. / hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
/ leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department OF
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

Arthur cumming, Rraverr.

When the attack was made on
Eidon, during the war with Syria, it
became necessary for the British
troops to advance across a long, un-
protected bridge, in the face of a
battery of six guns, which completely
commanded the approach. The men
were unwilling to expose themselves
TO certain death, when Arthur Cum
ming, carefully dressed in full uni
form, stepped forward to the middle
Of the bridge. 1t was Immediately
swept by the fire of the battery.
When the smoke had rolled away
there stood Cumming intact, carefully
brushing the dust from his boots,
after which he stood erect, fixed a
single glass in his eye, and looked
back at the men. This was too much,
and they captured that bridge and
battery with a whoop.-San Francisco

Removing Wart. frcm Cows,

A simple remedy for the removal Of
warts is given by the Practical Dairy
man, which it says are among the
troublesome things in the dairy, and
one that affects both the COW and the
nhlker alike, is their presence more or
less pendant and numerous upon a
cows teats. They are often the more
disagreeable because by the act of
milking they frequently cause sores
and lead to kicking cows and all the
disagreeable consequences which fol-
low. This kind of warts are easily re-
moved by an application of castor
oil. One or two applications will clear
off the warts and render the teats
smooth, soft and pliable.
