selected CrOckett as HIS ScOutI duiAit- tedly the most dangerous duty and re- quiring the most courageous man. In performing this duty General Coffee said Crockett was an army himself, as he was absolutely so. dreaded by the Indians that few of them would vent ure within rifle shot. In every fight and there were many-Crockett, with characteristic intrepidity, was always in front from the opening to the close. and many an Indian bit the dust. :" Crockett as selected by General Jack son as his aid and scout on. all. occa- sions. and remained with Jackson un- til the whole whole territory from the Mississippi to the Spanish line of Florida surrendered.
 When Wetherford sued for peace. and all the Creeks and Cherokees were on their proper reservations, the Sem inoles driven to the Everglades and the Spanish Governor of Florida recon ciled, General Jackson had no further fear of Indian raids, hence he gave Crockett leave to go home to look after his wife and children.
 On his return to Tennessee he was elected a Justice of the Peace. In holding this office Crockett said that his judgments were never appealed from. as he gave them on. the princi- ples of common honesty, as well as justice between man and man. Crockett was elected to the Colonelcy of a regi- ment of volunteers unasked, a result which could not but be pleasing to him. It was Colonel Crockett's first step in a peculiar, though brilliant career which made him famous
 Shortly after his election to the Col onelcy he was asked to become can- didate for the Legislature from Hick- man and Lawrence Counties. Without giving a reply, he started with a drove of horses to North Carolina. He was gone three months. On his return he entered into the canvass with a Vim. The first thing which strongly impress ed Crockett was that there was no more ignorant man concerning public questions which 1t was his duty to con- slider than he. A few days after his election Crockett was in Pulaski, where he met Colonel James R. Polk, afterward President of the United States
 Well, Colonel" said Polk, "I sup pose we shall have a radical change of the judiciary at the next session of the Legislature.
 Crockett promptly replied:
 That's my opinion, MT. Polk" and at once moved out of range of hearing
 Crockett's election for the second term to the Legislature was without much opposition. The fact that he had killed in less than one year 105 bears was sufficient glory and required no speech making. It was bears and In- dians" that worried the people of East Tennessee. Crockett served three terms

 Little did David Crockett imagine that within a short time after he ut tered those words he would be called upon to give up his life in fighting for the independence of Texas. but he died true hero, and so does the country revere him,

OUR COPS

here in Waterbury have duties which are hard. trying and disagreeable enough without asking them to carry their dinner, or, as some would call it. their lunch, when going out on their respective beats Well, we are well aware there are quite a few people who would prefer to see them get nothing to eat at all, but we feel diff ferent toward the poor fellows. We think they should get the very best the market affords and lots of it; and since they are compelled to carry their ..grub." they should be allowed to car " q bottle or a "growler." but have an inspector see that nothing stronger than good Tea or Coffee is contained in them. Now. the cops are not the only people who carry their dinner. There are thousands who do so and We have just received large consignment of the very best Lunch Boxes made in the United States. They are the Gill man folding box. In other words, when you empty the box. fold it up and put it in your pocket; then it's out of your way. We will give you one with each pound of our warranted good Baking Powder, or we will give you one for few of our Tea and Golf fee checks. or we will sell them to you very reasonably for cash at

CLOSE GALL IN A FALL
FROM A PEORIA BOX CAR

Oven McCabe, an agent for the
Prudential Life Insurance company,
who makes his home at 1906 Fourth
avenue, met with an accident that
came near costing him his life at
Milan Saturday evening He had been
at Coal Valley on business during the
day and was returning to this city on
a freight train AS the caboose was
uncomfortably warm he climbed
out on the top of n box car where it
was cooler. At Milan the car he was
sitting on was cut out and as it was
uncoupled he tempted to jump to
the next car. He underestimated the
distance, however, and fell to the
ground, striking on the ties aud frac-
turing his right wrist. He was also
badly cut and bruised about the head
aud face. The crew picked the I'M
fortunate man up and brought him to
this city, where he was conveyed in
the ambulance first to his boarding
place and later to the hospital.

George Schaub. we'll known citi-
zen of New Lebanon, Ohio. is a con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
TO advertise only the best in its col

lsin's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back he did not hesitate in
buying bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered the most
terrible pains in her back and could
get no relief. He says: AFTER using
the Pain Balm for few days my wife
said TO me, Il feel as though born
anew and before using the entire
contents of tho bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful, and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This
