Jetmore, Kans., July 1st.-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G. G
Jones of Burdett, and one of the most
popular ladies in Hodgeman County
has been a martyr to headache for
years. 1t has made her life continual
misery to her. She suffered pains in
the small of the back, and had every
symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trou-
BILE.
Today she is as well as any lady in
the state.
This remarkable change was due en-
tirely to remedy recently introduced
here. 1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and many people, claim it to be an in
fallible cure for Kidney Diseases,
Rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose. she grew better. In a week, her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady, is very sure soon to be
universally used, and G-ready the de-
mand for these pill. has increased
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties. where the particulars OF
Mrs. Freeman's case and its cure are
known.

Cultivating Bod of Lake

Lake Copais. the largest sheet of
water in Greece, and one of the nat
ural features of that country, has re-
Gently been nearly all drained off by
an English company, and its former
bed is now being cultivated with
gratifying results, the soil being very
fertile and well suited for cotton,
melons, COLA, beets, and other veg
etables. The lake formerly covered
about 60 square miles at low water in
the center of Boeotia, and near it was
one of the ancient oracles of Apollo.

Admiral Deweys ancestors lived in
the town OF Lebanon, Conn, so well
known as the home of Jonathan Trum-
bull and his gifted son, the painter.
A paper was read before the New Eng

Boston, by Miss Ella A. Tanning, city
editor Of the Norwich, Conn, Bulletin,
in which the following statement was
made: Josiah Dewey in 100 bought

Mems shirtwaists at Functions.

There are signs already that shirt
waists for men are to be tolerated, il
not encouraged, at informal functions
in and near New York in the coming
summer. Members of yacht clubs and
other out-ofdoor amusement associa-
tions which give evening entertain
ments at their club-houses welcome
the shirtwaist as happy solution OF
a troublesome problem in dress for
these occasions, and the shirtwaist is
therefore sure Of meeting at least some
measure of popularity.

manner in which this noble prisoner,
this admirable gentleman and hero,
was treated by his jailer and execu-
TONER There are savages in every

provost marshal was one of them. 1t
is said that he refused him writing
materials, and afterward, when Cap
tain Hale had been furnished them by
others, destroyed before his face his
last letters to his mother and to the
young lady to whom he was engaged to
be married AS those letters were
never received, this statement may be
true. The other alleged horrors of the
execution it is safe to disregard, be-
cause we know it was conducted in the
usual form and in the presence Of
many spectators and a considerable
body of troops. One fact shines out
from the distracting confusion of that
morning, which will be cherished 20
the latest posterity as a precious ingot
of the moral treasures of the Ameri-
can people. When asked If he had
anything to say, Captain Hale re-
piled:
81 only regret that l have but one
life to lose for my country"
The scene of his execution was prob
ably an old graveyard in Chambers
street, which was then called Barrack
street. General Howe formally noti-
fed General Washington of his execu-
tion. In recent years, through the in
dustry of Investigators. the pathos and
sublimity of these events have been in
part revealed.
A few years ago bronze statue OF
the young hero was unveiled in the
New York City Hall Park. II is great
ly to be regretted that our knowledge
OF this noble martyr is so slight; but
we know enough to be sure that he
merits the veneration Of his country

What would General Howe do next?
II he cross at He'll Gate, the American
army, too small in numbers, and de-
feated the week before, might be caught
on Manhattan island as in trap, and
the issue of the contest might be made
to depend upon single battle; for IN
such circumstances defeat would in
volve the capture of the whole army.
And yet General Washington was COM
PEELED to confess:
I'VE cannot learn, nor have we been
able to possess, the least information
Of late"
Therefore he wanted a man. He
wanted an intelligent man, cool-head-
ed, skillful, brave, to cross the East
River to Long Island, enter the en-
emy's camp and get information as to
his strength and intentions. He went
to Colonel Knowlton, commandig re-
markably efficient regiment from Con-
necticut, and requested him to ascer-
tain il this man so sorely needed could
be found in his command. Colonel

New York was about fourteen days.
He was taken to General Howe's head
quarters at the Beekman mansion, on

avenue. 1t is a strange coincidence
that the house to which he was brought
to be tried as a spy was the very one
from which Major Andre departed

stood in the garden of the Beekman

The woman and children have to be helped and it is only natural that those whom she trusted in preference to her husband should come ta' the rescue. In standing with the children she won the sympathy of charitable people, but the fact still remains that where the work of making converts causes such desolation in homes as has been brought about in this and other cases that might be mentioned, there must be q question in honest minds as to whether it meets the approval of the Divine Master. -"'
