During the winter of 1897 Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay unity, W. Va,
struck his leg against cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise it severely.
1t became very much swollen and panied
him so badly that he could not walk
without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used several
kinds of liniment and two and half
gallons of whisky in bathing it,but moth
ing gave any relief until he began using
Chamberlain Pain Balm. This brought
almost complete cure in weeks time,
and he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had to be
anputated. Pain Balm is unequaled for
spraiDs, bruises and rheumatism. For

The Demand in New England and Abroad
Largely in Excess of Iast Ynar's.
The spinners of New England, having
learned by experience of the advantages
conferred by it's use, aro heavy buyers of
the American Cotton Cnmpany's Round
lap baled cotton. One Massachusetts
mill alone bought 25 900 Roundup bales
the later part of September, and pur-
poses hereafter using no cotton packed
by any other method if it can get enough
Roundlap bales to supply its spindles.
Another M massachusetts, mill has bought
5000 Roundlap bales this season, and
twenty-five other mills have ordered
smaller lots.
The European demand for the Ameri~
can Cotton Company's bales is largely
in excess of last seasons. Early in Oc-

were shipped from Galveston in one
steamer. Shipments GO forward regu-

That Will Be the Size of Single shipment

The Saint Louis Globe-Demo crat says
"Twenty car loads of Missouri eggs have
been sold to go to Cuba, and are now in
cold storage awaiting shipment. A com
pany which shipped last year twenty
tour carloads of chickens in one lot from
Missouri and ILLINOIS to Manchester,
England, is now filing an order for forty
carloads TO be sent in one shipment to
the same destination this fall The forty
cars will be filed with what are known
in the rapidly developing industry as
shroilers' aud 'roasteTS.' While these
sample export orders are being filled
Missouri eggs by the ton are being frozen
to furnish the Klondike with delicaces.
Twice in six years the pioneers in the
poultry ard eggs buying and shipping
business have seen it double in Missouri
Today that industry stands upon basis
and is conducted with an elaboration OF
methods which the world at large little
appreciates.

HAULING DOWN THE FLAG
Imperialist Orators Indulging In o
Wealth of Slush.

In their poverty of argument the i'm
perialIst orators are INDUCING In
wealth of slush.
One of their favorite cries is: "Who
will haul down the flag?" and one OF
their number made bold t. exclaim
few DAYS ago that the flag had never
been hauled down, and, p ease God, 1t
never should be.
Thus we have mixture OF Stops AND
ign rance.
The flag of the United States has been
hauled down frequently.
During the war of 1912 and after it
was over the flag was hauled down IN
Canadian territory, where our aggressive
army had placed 1t.
Our army which invaded Mexico rails
ed the flag over the halls of the Monte
zumas but it was taken down. When
the United States consul at Honolulu
aided and made effective the Dole con-
spiracy which overthrow the government
of Hawaii he ran up the flag over Dole's
capital, but it was promptly and proper
ly ordered down by President Cleveland
soon after his second inauguration. And
recently we have seen the flag hauled
down in Alaska and Withdrawn from
territory over which it had foated Tor
more than thirty years.
Whether or not the flag should be
hauled down in any quarter depends en-
tirely upon how it came to be hylng
there. If it is there righteously 1t
should, of course, be kept there; if there
without the right to be there, the hon or
of the nation demands n ot that it should
be upheld, but that it should be hauled
down.
But the lmperialists do not so consider.
They say that wherever the flag is and
however it got there it must remain.
We are thankful to say that our gov
eminent has hitherto been conducted on
a different and higher principle than
that, and because 1t has been so con-
Quoted our flag is honored and respected
throughout tie world as it never could
have been had we made it the emblem OF
despotic force. ATLANTA Journal.

 Moyse was in the late war. He proved that to those who have doubted him in that statement, by showing them a wound in the rear of his left shoulder. He must have been a member of New York's gal lant and brave list. His uniform is now in the possession of a Pine Blufian as Is also his photo and photos of the other mem bers of his family.

i'm Time


 The waiting-room of the Boston and Dakota Railroad station was hot Everything about it, from the dingy letters on the door to the shabby red plush of the seats, was dirty. An odor of bananas and peppermint came from the refreshment stand. Near the door two schoolgirls in showS hats were eating carameis ard rolling taeiT eyes at the ticket agent. A shriyaIed old lady sat in a retired corner, sur reptitiously adding to the dusty pile of peanut shells which lay under the seat. Halfway down the room, a sticky child in dirty white cap, be. ing forbidden to roll on the floor, kicked its mother frantically and gave vent to a series of angry shrieks.
 Between the windows sat a girl who, from her small velvet urban to the tip of her polished boot, seemed the very embodiment of luxury. Her mouth had a determined expression, but her blue eyes were unsophistica- ted and there was an admirii g, trust ful look in them as she gazed at the man by her side.
 He appeared less obviously out of pace in the forlorn surroundings. His clothes were new-too new; and he seemed ill at ease His somewhat e1- pressioB1ess eyes rolled nervously and he alternately fingered his glove but ton and fondled a scrubby little mus tache.
 Suddenly there was a rattle and jar at the dingy door and an elderl7 man hastily entered. He cast glance about the room, and then walked di- rectly toward the pair by the window The young man started up at his ap. proaeh and began to speak with eyi. dent embarrassment.
 ''We are-that is-you see"
 Come, Marguerite" interrupted the gentleman, we have just time to catch the three-forty-fve train for home"
 He held out his hand for the travel ing bag. The young girl drew herself up resentfully.
 Father she said, Alfred and are together now, at last-and forever"
 She smEed and looked proudly up to the young man by her side for con He had picked Up her bag . from the seat and was about to hand it over her to her father Her cheek . paled slightly and then flushed.

One of the remarkable things in connection with the Snake dance is that the Snake priests are rarely, if ever, bitten. "To the onlooker it seems impossible that venomons snakes can be handled so audacious- ly without inficting deadly wounds. Yet it is positively known that they are Tn no wise deprived of their natural power to do so. It is claimed by some that the priests possess a secret an tidote, to which they rescrt in cases of snake bite, which are rare, but the real reason so few are bitten, it is alleged, IS because of the familiarity of the Indians with the habits of the snakes aud their dexterity in hand ling and keeping the serpents un- coiled. The Mokis themselves are absolutely reticent about thematter.

A WOMAN
Is the Cause of J. L. Moyse's Down,
 fall.

Much has been written of late ln the different State papers of J. L.. Moyse, a smooth artist, who during the past several weeks trageled from town to town and worked several different games on prominent cit zans, and who met his Waterloo in Little Rock recently Tor jumping a boald bill at a leading hotel in that city.
 1t would also be ofinterest to our readers to learn that that smooth guy also struck Pine Bluff and the effects of his visit still remain with some As we understand he made borrow from one oe his close friends here aud also promised to pay his board bill at a prominent hotel after he had departed and as soon as he .seoula get on his feet again" We have also been inform ed that his trunk silently waits it's owner, full of the ''swellest" of wear, at this popular hostelry.
 The real cause of his downfall in the capital city was woman. A woman of ill lrepute, whom heinduced to leave u resort in Pine Bluff and accompany him to the City of Roses. where he promised her he would get a license and marry her. She fool ishly accompanied him there. He donned his military garb, visited Ft Logan H. Roots, represented himself to be an army officer and thereby gained the friendship of all with whom he came in contacr.
 His tongue was well greased and no matter how difficult it was to gain confidence with q prominent citizen, he would always succeed in winning him and working him in the end. He walked with an aris- to cratic air, and being a very hand some fellow, especially when attired in his military garb, created sensa- ton and attracted much attention when Ee iournied on the street.
 He soon planted himself firmly in the heart of one of Little Rock \ most wealSny as we'll as prominent citiz ms. The thought of being well known and intimate with an army officer of high rank, as Moyse repre- sented himself to be, tiekied the prominent gentleman and all invi- tation to dine was then in order aud accepted by the "Lieutenant" and his wife, Mrs. Lieutenant Moyse. 2 This prominent citizen of Little Rock has children young ladies, and young gentlemen, who are consider ed the leaders of select society in their midst.
 As soon as the "Lieutenant was given quarters in the Pulaskicounty jail, his honored wife Mrs. Lieuten- ant Moyse," who by the way, was introduced as such to prominent citizens, packed her clothes and re- turned to her vile abode in Pine Bluff.
 Moyse was fined s39.75 for jump ing his board bill and being unable to pay same, he was sent to tue Jefferson County farm with nine negro prisoners. He wired

Only an instant and the priests start up, each with one or more snakes; away they dart for the trail to carry the rain bringing messengers to their native hiding places. They dash down the mesa and reappear far out on the trails below, running like wind with their grewsome burdens. The Antelope priests next march gravely around the plaza four times, humping the sunken plank, and file out to their Kiva. The ceremony is done.

AT HYMEN'S ALTAR.

A curious law exists in the Bermu-
da islands. II a woman born and
reared in Bermuda and holding inher-
tied property in the colony falls in love
with an alien of any nation and mar
ries him, all real estate held by her
at the time of such marriage becomes
the property of the colonial govern
ment. In one case a fair Bermuda
heiress who married an American citi-
zen had to go to the trouble and ex-
pense of being repatriated as Bermu-
dian in order to hold her rights. which
were forfeited by the American citi-
zenship which her marriage willy-nilly
conferred upon her, says the Criterion.
What lovely law this Bermuda plan
would be for the United States to pre-
vent foreigners carrying off our girls
and their fortunes.
1t seems rather odd that a Breton
bride rather likes to have a wet we'd
ding it is held to signify that all her
tears are now shed and that she will,
therefore, have a happy married life.
The Era Of Simbirsk call the day be-
fore the wedding the weeping day and
the bride and her girl friends weep
all they can, with the idea, it would
seem, of getting the mourning of life
over, so that only JOY may remain.
The Badagas of the Neilgherries attain
the same end by sousing the bride
with water: some Greek tribes have a
similar belief In the virtue of a drench-
ing bringing good fortune.
Many visitors in Florence at the
present time will be reminded of the
story Of Dantes immortal love for his
Beatrice. The old-world romance has
become so familiar that even people
the reverse Of literary have it's details
at their finger tips. But there was a
phase of Dantes life-his married life
which is perhaps quite as romantic
as the better-knowr tale. Mrs. Marion
Earland, in Ter new book. Where
Ghosts Walk" brings to light much
that is interesting concerning Dantes
wife. The poet h'mself has left no
reference 70 his Cemma. He never re-
turned to her from his enforced exile.
Her two sons, Pietro and Jacopo, seem
to have had no corr motion in leaving
her. OF her death nere is no record.
But Mrs Harland r. 'inds us that it is
TO Gemma Alighi ri's housewifely
thrift and singe-hea~ted devotion that
the world is indebte for the preser-
vation of the manuscript of the In
ferno," which Dante completed after
Gemma forwarded the unfinished pa
pers to him.
If you suffer from tenderness or full
ness on the right side, pain under

Forgotten Fortunes.

An apt illustration oi the value OF
small savings and the unexpected way
money accumulates when at interest
nad forcible illustration at the West
aeld Savings Bank recently, when a
weil-known Springfield newspaper
writer appeared with a book showing
IN original deposit of So, which, by the
accretion of interest alone, had in
creased ninefold and he received up
on it within few cents of $45.
When the deposit of So was made in
1857 no was a resident of Westfield,
but in few years removed to SPRING
field, and the matter passed from his
mind. Recently, in searching among
old papers, he chanced upon the book
and took the first opportunity to pre-
sent it at the bank, and found, to his
establishment. that in the forty-two
years his little S. had increased to al
most S45. and he expressed regret that
the original sum had not been $40, for
s100
Another case of possessing money
without being aware Of it occurred at
the same bank few years ago.
Treasurer Crowson saw a newspaper
notice that former resident, who had
moved to Western state several
years previous, was in Ill health and
quite straitened circumstances.
1t struck him that the mans name
appeared on the banks ledger as a de-
positor, and, looking up the matter, it
proved to be so, and between $500
and 81 900 stood to the mans credit,
being the amount of s40O deposit
made twenty-nine years previous, with
accumulated interest.
The fortunate owner was communi-
Gated with, and his JOY at his unex-
pected good fortune was unbounded.
The money served to give him COM
forts and care until his death, two or
three years after. 1t appeared that
the money was deposited to his credit
by a relative, who said nothing of 1t
to the beneficiary, though doubtless
intending to inform him. only that
death came quite suddenly.

AN ECONOMIC PROBLEM.
Parliament of Japan is Struggling viii
Question of Railroads.

Parliament of Japan is Struggling with
Question of Railroads.
The Parliament of Japan is strug-
CLING with a new economic problem
involving the government ownership
and management of the railways OF
that empire. A bill is now pending in
the Chamber of Deputies directing the
minister of the interior to purchase all
of the private roads upon such terms
as may be arranged by arbitration. It
is proposed to obtain the funds for
these purchases by a new loan. and
the sum Of 100000, 900 yen, or SIS, ,000,-
600 in American gold, will be neces-
sary.
In June last there were 1900 miles
of railway in operation in Japan. Since
that time between 300 and 400 miles
have been constructed, making a total
Of perhaps 5000 miles. OF these the
government already owns about 1000
miles, and twenty-eight private CON-
panies own and operate the balance.
Nearly all of the private lines have
government guarantees or subsidies.
They represent a nominal value CT
256,3S6, ,2S6 yen in stock and bonds, up
on which they have paid average divi-
dends of 8.2 per cent during the last
ten years; but the actual amount of
money expended in their construction
and equipment is said to have been
only 125,042,091 yen, leaving a differ
ence of 131, ,344 1876 yen, which repre-
sents the profit to the projectors Of
the various enterprises in the form OF
watered stock. The bill before Parlia-
ment proposes to purchase the private
roads at their actual cost without re-
gard to the market value of their stock
bonds, which proposition of course.
will be stubbornly resisted by the own
ers of the property. 1t is assumed that
some basis of compromise may be
reached equally fair to the govern
ment and the railroad companies.
There is little prospect of the passage
Of the bill at the present session, how
ever. and it will become a political is
sue at the next election.
