Nothing, that comes in bottle,

And important means that it

No; they don't touch it, except
when they need it.
"When do they need it?"
Whenever they show, in whatever
way, the least disturbance of even

Interesting story Told Of Gallant
British Oficer and His Sword


An interesting story Of Gen. Hec-
tor Macdonald is toldin Cassell's Lit
tie Folks. 1t runs as follows: Gen.
Hector Macdonald began life as a
draper's assistant, bit finding it too
humdrum he went for a soldier. This
was quite to his liking. He saw plenty
of service, and because he was fond Of
scrimmage they gave him his we'll
known nickname. So good a soldier
was he that he was promoted from the
ranks--a rarer honor 20 years ago
than it is now-and as lieutenant he
went through the first Boer war In
the disastrous battle of Majuba he
lost the claymore that had been pre-
sented to him by his brother officers.
After the fight, Capt. afterwards
coloneD p. F. Robertson, Of the
Ninety-second Gordon Highlanders,
had talk at Newcastle, in the Trans
vaal, with Joubert, the famous Boer
general, who died during the second
Boer war. Robertson was curious to
know why so many Of the British Off
GERS were killed, and Joubert told him
the Dutch marksmen took aim spe-
cially at them. The reason was that
the officers were all rich men who
could come and go as they pleased,
whereas the "Tommies" were all poor,
and had to serve their time and do
their fighting, whether they wished to
or not, for that was how they made
living. Moreover, the Boer farmers
had, Joubert said, no quarrel with
private soldiers, and didn't want to
kill single one of them. Then Rob-
ertson told Joubert about Hector
Macdonald and his lost sword. "Ah,"
said Joubert, "that brave man must
have his sword again. / will search
the Transvaal for it and offer five
pounds reward for it. Joubert did
search, and found the sword in the
possession of farmer, who, on learn
ing the story, parted with the clay
more without reward. Fighting
Mac" had the pleasure of receiving
his good claymore from the hands of
Gen. Joubert himself in the Dutch
town of Newcastle.

How Do You feeIP


Franklin, KY, June 3rd, 1901
EDITOR KENTUCKIAN:-
How do you feel?
There is nothing more delusive
than your feelings or more decep-
tive of real conditions They are
the most real things to you and you
wish them to be treated, especially
if they are unpleasant or painful.
We respect your "feelings, "and we
seek always to relieve our patients
of abnormal feelings; but we do not
treat them as other doctors do.
These feeling are effects. From
our knowledge of the human body,
we examine into the CAUSE, and
treat the cause. Just think of the
questions the medical doctor asks
you. He is careful to consider
everything that you tell him. Then
he treats your feelings. If it is a
pain, he seeks TO relieve it, If it is
inaction, he either stimulates or
purges. Drugs do this; but do
drugs cure? You may have found
ont that they do not. If you have
been long sick you have learned the
deadly effects of drugs. The
average doctor depends on what
you tell him about yourself. You
could deceive him. If you told him
you had apain in the top of the head,
he would treat tiff in the bottom
of the foot, he would take your
word for it. Not one in a hundred
would examine into the cause and
the condition of the pain. The Os-
teopath would do this very thing.
This is the chief difference be-
tweenOsteopathy and other methods.
Osteopathy seeks the cause and
removes it. Do you want the cause
of your sickness remoI ed? Invest i
gate Osteopathy. We will help you.

Trivial Cause Of War.

Capt. Robert Jenkins, the master
Of sloop trading from Jamaica, was
in 1888 boarded by a Spanish vessel
and barbarously treated. Going to
England, he appeared before the bar
of the house of commons and exhib-
tied an ear which he alleged was his
own, and he asserted that the Span
iards had cut it off. Edmund Burke
declared the whole thing fable, but
Poultney, Pitt and Wyndham used
the incident as political capital, and
it was finally the cause Of declara-
ton Of war against Spain.

Kansas man quit good paying
business some years ago to en-
gage in politics. He had nice
home, some property and good
income from his profession. He
was for a time successful in poll

London, Jan. 4.-Lord Roberts yes

come on his return to London after a
years absence in South Africa. He
was everywhere greeted with real af-

behind his carriage his staff followed
in khaki. They and six Indian order
lies, in magnificent, semi-barbaric
uniforms, were the only picturesque
features of the little procession.
Lord Roberts reached Paddington
station only 20 minutes behind the
schedule time. AS he descended
from his saloon carriage to the plat
form of the deliberately decorated
station he was greeted by the prince
and princess of Wales and other mem
bers of the royal family, who shook
hands heartily with the field marshal,
while the bands played the national
anthem. Those present at the lunch

ceremonies ended, consisted of so
persons, about 20 of whom were of
royal blood and 80 were of the no.

bury, the duke of Devonshire, Lord
Wolseley and a majority of the mem
bers Of the cabinet.

BISHOP NINDE DEAD.
WeII-Known Methodist Divine Expired
Suddenly of Heart Disease at His Home
in Detroit Thursday Morning.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 4.-Bishop W.
K. Ninde, aged IS years, OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church, was found
dead in his bed at his home here
Thursday. It is thought the cause
Of death was heart trouble. He at
tended a funeral Wednesday and
caught cold. The deceased had been
a bishop of the Methodist church
since 1884, and was known throughout
the United States. Prior to his cleo
ton as bishop he was pastor of the
Central Methodist Episcopal church
here and was at one time a mission
airy in India. He leaves a widow, three
sons and one daughter. One son, Ed
ward, is a Methodist minister at Ann
Arbor. His daughter, Mary, was for
merly missionary worker in India.
She is now in the south with her
brother Fred, who is i'll. The other
son, George, is also i'll at his home
here. Wednesday the presiding ell
ders of Michigan held a conference
and decided to sell the Episcopal
residence mere, now occupied by
Bishop Ninde's family, because the
churches of Michigan outside of De-
troit and other cities failed to con-
tribute sufficient funds to maintain
st
