a elT oF STRING.

There amt a single blessed chair
Nor washstan' knob nor door
But has got bit o. string, sir,
A hangin' to It, shore.
You may cast your eagle peppers
All roun' pom everything,
An you'll never fail to find IT,
A ragged bit o. string!
He amt much bigger'n baby,
The boy as ties 'em there,
He's playin' horses now. sir,
With bit O. string an chair.
You can't unite a bundle,
But he's roun'. that busy mite,
Complainin' that he needs string
To fly his little kite
It's a pesky lot o. work to go
Untyin' after him.
His nanny says she never can
Keep things lookin trim"
Beats all at ever did see,
He's jes' so pesky smart,
I've even found them strings o his

MARSHALL MIRACLE.
Rocks Showered About a Young
Girl Near Benton.
Came From a Mysterious Source
And Descend Like SnowfIakes
Without Hurting Her.

The Jonah and the whale story is
no more miraculous than case
now exciting the citizens of Mar
shal county, says the Paducab
Leader
Three or four miles from the little
town Of Benton resides Miss Onie
York, the beautiful 12-year-old
daughter of Jim B. York, farmer
This young girl rs at present in a
most peculiar position.
1t is claimed that wherever she
goes rocks fall in great numbers
continually.
They seem to start about two feet
above her head, tut the source of
the rocks cannot be seen. They
are not large, but about the size OF
a pebble of the dimensions of a
hen egg.
The mysterious circumstances
were FIRST noticed few days ago,
and since then the rocks have never
ceased falling.
People, thinking she was per-
forming dexterous feat, locked
her in room where no rocks could
be found. When placed in the
room 40 rocks were on her person.
The door was opened after lapse
of about fifteen minutes, and the
fo9r was literally covered with
rocks.
The news spread like wild-fire,
and soon the entire community was
on horse back, walking, or in
vehicles, travelling to the scene.
Hundreds of people have visited the
girl, and all tell the same story,
and say it is the most remarkable
event IN Marshall county's history.
The girls father not being a man
of wealth, has offered fine span
of mules if anyone will solve the my
stery.
1t has often been said, "Why do
we not have miraculous feats now
as theg did during Christ's reign
on earth" The question is often
answered, 1--WE do, but very often
do not pay any attention to them. y
There are people who think it S
a warning to certain people in this
county.
MIR. Bud Hunt, of Marshall coun-
ty, has offered reward of 500 to
anyone who will find the source of
the rocks.
Cne strange thing connected with
tie affair is that when the rocks
fail on her they can scarcely be felt,
and make very little noise when
falling to the floor.
Mr.. Polk Rose, another highly
respected citizen of that county,
youches for the veraclty of the case,
and says the rocks are still falling.
1T is given out on good authority
that nearly 1000 people have visit
ed her since Sunday.
People who have been living I'M
christian lives are changing in
large numbers. They believe it is
a warning and take It as such.
The rocks do not fall in large
numbers, but come down scattering
Iy and slowly.

If men would only take the most COM
mon sense precautions against the en-.
croachments of ill-health, there would be
fewer houses of mourning, and fewer
women left alone almost helpless before
the battle of life is half over. A mans
liver and stomach are twin machines that
work together either to make or unmake.
If they work wrong, they deplete and
poison his blood. Impure and impover-
ished blood mean sickness and death. If
they work right, they purify and enrich
the blood. A man whose blood is rich and
pure, and whose liver is active cannot well
be unhealthy. Headaches, biliousness, in-
digestion and costivrness, which men gen
orally disregard, are Natures warnings
that the twin mechanism, stomach and
liver, is working against instead of for
him. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical DiSCov-
cry is the best medicine to use under these
circumstances. 1t creates appetite, cor
rects all disorders of the digestion, inv!gor
