Dressing a Salad.

The author of "Wild Flowers of
California gives an entertaining ac-
count Of how the Indians prepare for
food a plant that Is commonly called
Indian lettuce. 1t will be recalled that
formic acid takes it's name from the
red ant, and that the acid was first OBJ
tanned from the insect.
The Placer County Indians greedily
eat the succulent leaves and stems of
their lettuce" Their way of prepar-
ing the plant for food is novel. Gath
ering the leaves, they lay these about
the entrances to the nests of certain
large red ants. The ants, swarming
out, run all over the plants. After a
time the Indians shake the ants off the
leaves, satisfied that the lettuce now
has a pleasant sour taste, equalling
that which might be given it by vine

TALLADEGA
Railroad Gossip-Closing of the City
Schools

Talladega, June .-(Special)-There is
great speculation just now on the future
growth of this city, which seems will ex-
coed all expectations. The injunction filed
to prohibit the furnace sale has been with
drawn and the property readvertised for
sale, taking place June 26. The town is
full of men familiar with furnace work and
ore mining, and the money spent in pre-
pairing for operations is already giving a
stimulating effect to business.
1t is rumored that the reason for with
drawing the injunction by Landenburg,
Thalman & Co., is that they are to sell
their road. the B. & A, to the S. A. L.,
which company will extend it to make con-
nectlons with their Atlanta line, giving US
a through line to Atlanta. If this ma
terializes Clay county would get the long
wanted railroad, and Talladega receive
valuable adjunct to her future growth and
prosperity. Some think that if the S. A. L.
should get as close to Birmingham as Pell
City it would go into that place, and thus
put Talladega on a through line between
Birmingham and Atlanta. The outlook was
never better for the Highland City.
The city schools closed yesterday after
a prosperous session. There were four
graduates: Misses Emma Huey and Eta
McCary and Carl Michael and Chester
Bingham. The diplomas were presented by

the spontaniety of character of the Scotch

the spontaniety of character of the Scotch
American.
One thing is certain-he will not use his
position to fan the flames of sectional feel
ing as Mr.. Reed often did. People often
wonder why Reed was so much disliked
personally by those of his democratic COM
freres in the house 1t was due to his dn-
ability to forgive. He honestly thought
that no man who had fought in the SOUTH
ern armies should be allowed to vote in
national elections. A simple remark he
dropped to me once while he was in the
gallery of the lobby well illustrates his BIT
terness to the south. Finding him in the
picture gallery where the faces of past
speakers looked out from the walls, 1
asked him why he did not come south some
time and give the people a chance to
know him
"The people of the SOUTH" he said, in
that disagreeable nasal twang of his,
never had but one opportunity to evince
any love for me, and then they signally
failed, even showing the opposite feeling"
This, of course, referred to the F1fty-frst
congress when the democrats declined to
join with the republicans in giving him the
customary vote of thanks. Then turning
to the picture of Ex-Speaker Winthrope, of
Massachusetts, he said:
Behold that benign countenance. One
could leave the holy script in his presence
and he would not tear out a leaf of its
blessed writ to light his pipe with"
Hanging next TO It was likeness of How
ell Cobb of Georgia, dressed In a loose
coat with fuffed bosom. Looking at this
picture for a moment he said carelessly:
Now turn from Winthrop and view that
vast expanse of shirt 'front.'
That was all, but it told a volume He
believes every thing in New England right
eous and good to look upon, but can see no
virtue in anything southern. General Hen
derson is opposite of Reed in all his feel
ing. If he has not as big brain as the
present speaker, he has almoust as big a
body and much bigger heart.

The Many Changes Among the Teams
Has Brought Out Curious Results
Cleveland Getting Poor Sup
port-Yesterday' Games
NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING

Thousands of base ball fans throughout
the country are taking live interest In
the race for the National League pennant.
This race is especially made interesting
owing to the various changes made and the
present torn up condition of the teams.
The surprise of the season has undoubt-
eddy been the Baltimore club. With its
best men transferred to Brooklyn and with
a crippled and patched up team, Baltimore
has done some great playing. McGraw, as
manager and captain, has shown wonder
full generalship in winning victory after
victory and keeping the club in the first
division. There seems to be considerable
doubt, however, as to the young pitchers
of the Baltimore team being able to con-
tinue their magnificent work throughout
the season.
The REDS have thousands of admirers
in the south, and their poor work has been
very disappointing to them.
Louisville has been playing in hard luck
so far. It's team has lost most of its
games by single run.
Cleveland is at the bottom OF the ladder,
but 1t may be justly said that a city which
gives such poor support to its team de-
serves no better fate.
Brooklyn is turning out large crowds to
witness the magnificent playing made by
Hanlon's superbas. Like St. Louis, it Is
willing to give its support to a winning
team. From a financial point of view the
transfer of the old Baltimore team to
Brooklyn has proven a great success.

DR.. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT
IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR Ev-
ERYTHING.
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble 1t Will Be Found Just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys' upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition beauty,
vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or
diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it Is not uncommon for a child ITO be
born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, If the urine scalds
the flesh, or it, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage and 1t Is yet afflicted with bed
wetting, depend upon 1t, the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to habit
as most people suppose.
So We find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-R Root is soon realized. 1t is sold
by druggists, In fifty-cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a sample bottle by
mail free, also pamphlet telling all about
it, including many of the thousands of
