Though most people know that
khaki is the name of the material
used for the uniforms worn by
our own soldiers in the PHILIPPINES
and the British soldiers in South
Africa, there is strange diff
ference in the color adjectives us
ed to describe it. This color is
such as to afford the least possi-
BILE chance for sharpshooters, but
one will call it drab, another buff
and still light brown or dirty yel-
low. AS a matter of fact, it is
best indicated by the Hindoo root
from which the word is derived,
KHAKI dust. Khaki is dust-color-
ed. 1t was, of course, originally
used for the uniforms of English
East Indian regiments, Mr..
Rudyard Kipling's spelling
"kharki" has, by the way, no ETY.
mological justification His in
trusion of the "r" is little pho
netic device, probably, in the in
terest of the cockney, to insure
the broad sound being given to
the vowel. Scotsmen and North
Countrymen in England, and
Americans in general, can ignore
this spelling Of the word.

A fatal hunting accident re-
Gently occurred near Dudley,
Huntingdon county, John Guyer,
son of VIM. Guyer, of that place,
being the victim. In company
with his brother Henry and a
dog, the young men had started
out hunting, and became separ-
ated. Henry returned home
early, but John not putting in an
appearance, it was apprehended
he had met with an accident, and
search was made for him that
evening The next morning a
number joined in the search, and
about 8 o'clock his dead body was
found in the woods short dis
tance above Dudley, with his
faithful dog at his side. From
indications at the spot it would
seem that the dog had holed a
rabbit under a large rock, and the
young man had endeavored to
dig out the game, and in moving
about must have knocked his gun
from the rock on which he had
laid it down, discharging the
piece, and receiving the entire
load in his body, being shot
through the stomach. Deceased
was aged 16 years.

To My Patrons and the Public:-
A rumor is in circulation to the
effect that l have not purchased the
harness business of James Wallace,
that am only running the shop for
him, and that a sham sale was made
for the purpose of moving the post
office to its present location. / do not
know who started the rumor, in fact it
matters not. My object in writing
this letter is to inform the public in
general that the sale between Mr.. Wal
lace and myself is bona fide one and

"It is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houton, "that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years, have met more people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipation.
i find for tourists and salesmen, or for
persons filling Office positions, where
headaches and general bad feelings
from irregular habits exist, that Green s
August Flower is grand remedy. 1t
does not injure the system by frequent
use, and is excellent for sour stomachs
and indigestion" Sample bottles free

South she society woman wen Known
for nervousness and a tendency to
founder about in her topics Of CONVEX
saton. She desired rug Of certain
size. The young man got down two or
three to show her. In the middle Of
his explanation as to quality and price
she turned away and began to examine
goods on Il neighboring counter. Then
she went back to the young man and
wanted to look at some more rugs. He
started to spread one out, when she
wandered away again. When she re-
turned the third time, he had stool
placed in an angle of the counter and
suggested that perhaps she would be
seated while he got the rug.
When she had taken her seat, he
spread the rug so that 1t effectually
blocked the angle and prevented her
escape. He held up the edge Of the
rug farthest froIS her so she couldn't
walk over it, and so kept her penned
up while he explained how fine a rug
it was. She made two or three at
tempts to get down, but with no sue
cess, and finally bought the rug to OBJ
tain her release.-Chicago News.

A Marvel of the East.

Among other feats in the east the
learning by heart Of the Koran is very
widespread. Not only men, but wom-
Ell and children, can be found who can
repeat the holy book from beginning to
end without n mistake. Taking 1t In
round numbers, the Koran contains,
together with the additions, which are
included in the recitation, some 10000
words. This is about the length Of an
average up to date novel, but, unlike
the novel, there are no connecting links
the whole book being confused and
much mutilated jumble-to enable the
reciter to remember. To make the
least error would be deadly sin, yet
even children can 60 through 1t.
But this is not all. For an Arabic
child to recite the Koran Is wonderful
enough, no doubt, but he understands
what he Is saying-it Is not to him an
unknown language-but for q child Of
another nation to recite 1t from begin
ming to end, without understanding the
words he is saying, Is a much more
wonderful feat Of memory, and very
few of those outside Arabia who can
recite the Koran know more than a
few of the simplest words, If they know
those.
