As the child grows up it has more dolls to
play with than any white child ever dreamed
Of; for the Hopi dolls are made means Of re-

with them. Each doll represents one Of the

are called "katchinas AS there upward

This style of carrying the child is common with

This Is the Way the Beers Fight,

A Boer charge is destitute of bur-
rah and dash. There is no alignment
and little semblance of concerted ac-
tlon. Yet the concerted action is
there. Having been broadly in
structed by their commandants as to
the general object and plan of the
movement, the Beers start, moving
rapidly enough while at long range,
yet cautiously, too. To conceal him
self behind what, to the ordinary man.
would seem ridiculously inadequate
cover, is an instinct with the Boer.
born of the veldt and its ways. Thus.
running in crouching attitude, and
Keeping out of sight as much as pos
sible, the thin, widely scattered line
moves forward until point is reached
within effective rifle range of the en-
emy. Then the real attack begins,
and the peculiar methods of the Boer
begin to operate.
1t will not be movement of the
whole line, but only of small seq
ment. The rest of the line will sup
port 1t. A certain number of men in
each commando, amounting to prob
ably one-fourth, had been told off be-
fore the attack began, to hold cover
when rushes were made, and concen-
trate their fire upon the enemy. These
men he securely sheltered, their
ready rifles at shoulder and pointed,
their watchful eyes scanning the DO
sitions of the defenders. The signal
as given, and the rush begins.
Up spring fifty or hundred men,
with rifles held loosely at a trail"
and dash forward at full speed, leap
ing over the ground like Zulu runners.
A few scattering shots give warning
OF the hotter fire to come. Prone on
the earth go the charging Beers.
Cr-r-r-ash comes the volley. Up
again, and wild scurry on for half
minute before the second volley can
come, then down again, each man
under cover. Fifty yards have been
gained. To see body of men spring
up suddenly and dash towards them
is calculated to furry any troops. The
Beers have counted upon this, and
Tor it the reserved marksmen are pre-
pared. Startled for moment out of
his presence of mind, or in his eager
ness to get a fair shot, Tommy At
klns will expose himself. A head, a
shoulder, an arm or leg shows. 1t is
sufficient mark for a Boer. The
Mausers yelp in a stammering Choir
us, and score of gentlemen in khaki
grope blindly about in the dirt and
gravel. = From "With the Boer
Army" by Thomas F. Millard, in the

IN SECRET PASSAGE.
Mystery of the Old Harrison Man
sion in Virginia.
skeleton in Chains Found in an Un-
known Recess which Was Re-
vealed by Accidentally Touch-
ing secret Spring.

A mysterious secret passage has
been discovered at Lower Brandon, the
ancient colonial mansion which has
been the home Of the Harrisons, of
Virginia, for more than q century.
While hanging a picture Miss Guile
Harrison unknowingly touched a Sc
cret spring, and panel slid back, dis
closing a dark passage. Miss Harri-
son called several members of the
family, and thorough investigation
was made of the gloomy recess. 1t ex-
tended some distance back within and
along the massive wall of the house,
which was constructed in the colonial
period, when hostile Indians made the
country anything but a safe place in
which to reside.
The dust of ages lay thick on the
walls and along the stone floor of the
passage. No discovery rewarded the
searchers until the very end was
reached. Here from a staple in the
wall depended rusty chain, and on
the floor beneath lay human skull.
In regular lines lay fragments which
quickly vanished when touched, SEEM
ing to have been the remains of other
portions of the human frame.
The present members of the Harr1-
son family had no idea heretofore of
the existence of the subterranean pas
sage, nor is there any legend extant
of cruel ancestor who chained to the
wall some enemy and left him there
to die of hunger and thirst. The Har-
risons of Lower Brandon are closely
related to former President Benjamin
Harrison, and also to Mayor Carter
Harrison, of Chicago. While on a visit
to Virginia some months ago Carter
Harrison went down to Lower Bran
don and paid short visit there. It
was near this place that Benjamin
Harrison. while on hunting trip dur
ing his occupancy of the presidential
chair, shot and killed pig by mis-
take. and promptly reimbursed. the
owner. Nearly all of the colonial man.
sions on the lower James have secret
passages, which were used when the
Indians became dangerous. In one of
them Nathaniel Bacon, while fleeing
from the wrath of Sir William Berbe-
ley, was hidden for time.

July II. 1929, and Joan saluted him as
king.
She now wished to return home,
deeming her mission accomplished,
but Charles persuaded her to remain
with his army. She continued to ac-
company the French army and was
present in many conflicts until on
May "a, 143O, she threw herself with
few troops into Compiegne, which
the Burgundian troops besieged, and
being driven back by them, was taken
prisoner and sold to the English for a
sum of 5000 francs. She was taken
to Rouen, the headquarters of the
English, and was brought before the
spiritual tribunal of the Bishop of
Beauvais as sorceress and a hereto.
After a long trial she was condemned
to be burned at the stake. She ex-
pressed penitence in the hope of hav-
ing her punishment committed to
perpetual imprisonment. This was
not permitted, however, and on May
3Oth, 1431, she was brought to the
stake and burned.
Her family, who had been ennobled
upon her account obtained in 1440 a
revival of her trial, and in 1855 she
was formally pronounced to have been
innocent. But this could not COM
pensate for the inhuman treatment
she had received. 1t indeed seems
the height of cruelty that one who
had accomplished so much for her
country should suffer such injustice,
and we cannot but feel contempt for
Charles, who used not the slightest
means to save her from her persecu-
tors.
Everywhere throughout the French
Republic are monuments and statues
to her valor and renown. Each year
brings forth an additional number,
while few of the great annual eXhi-
bitions are opened in which some ref
erence to her history is not displayed.
But it is not the statue which each
city is fastening to erect to her mem
ory, nor the paintings which adorn
the gallery walls, nor yet the national
monuments which rise on the green
hillsides of Qomremy or Rouen, which
best keep fresh the memory of the
maid. Her grandest monument is
the spirit of liberty which she left as
her great inheritance to the French
people, and upon that, as upon mas
sive foundation, rises the structure of
the grand united nation of today.

We publish an advertisement of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in our columns
this issue, and wish to say to our
readers that we believe this prepara-
tion is worthy of trial by any person
suffering from that agonizing disease.
We honestly believe it will do for you
all the manufacturers claimf for it.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is prepared
by the well-known and reliable firm of
E. c. Dewitt & Co., Chicago, and
from our long experience in business
sense, with that firm as advertisers,
we feel safe in saying, that they
would not place on the market a pre-
paration for the cure of dyspepsia un-
less they had remedy of the highest
merit and conscientiously believe it
would cure that almost universal com
plant.
We further add that if this prepara-
tion is equal to the other well known
remedies made by them, viz: De-
Wits Little Early Risers, DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve, and One Minute
Cough Cure, it will speedily win its
way into public favor.
We cheerfully and heartily give
our public endorsement to this con-
Germ, and the reliability of the goods
they manufacture, which latter has
been largely the means of their sue
cess; and in writing this voluntary
endorsement on our part, we feel that
We are simply performing duty that
we owe our readers.

AMERICAN JOCKEYS ABROAD.
Continue to Bewilder the Brikshers
by Their Unfailing Sue
cesseA.

Great Britain continues to be be-
wildered by the continual success of the
American jockeys, and vainly seeks an
explanation. One of the leading au-
thorities on English racing matters,
however, puts this In a nutshell in an
article in the Man of the World, say
ing: "Our English jockeys appear to
have relinquished all efforts at compet-
ing with the indefatigable team of
transatlantic horsemen now with us.
Had some of our young aspirants the
energy and determination to get to
the front possessed ty Sloan, Martin,
Reiff and company, their chances of
success would be considerably i'm
proved. At present they, with some
half dozen exceptions, appear abso-
lutely paralyzed at the turn things
have taken. 1t was notable fact that
the brothers Reiff were first or second
in every race and only first and Sec
ond respectively at Hurst park last
Saturday. Each won two rnces, and
the younger was thrice and the elder
once second. This was really remark
able afternoons performance. 1t will
surely be some time before either
1engthen their surrup leathers.' The
youngest of these gifted. industrious,
yet quiet and unassuming jockeys is an
example to some of our own school,
who no sooner get to the front than,
like the frog, they swell to bursting.
These two young American horsemen
are really fine examples for great
majority of our jockeys, who are grad
ually allowing themselves to be snuffed
out"
