barricades built of ordinary stone could
be shattered freely with these pieces.
But the ingenious Moro finds q kind of
sandstone in the hills with which he
builds his barricade. This stone Is
just spongy enough to let she'll pene-

The natives secure a sort of limelike
product from the mountains with
which they make a cementing material
to erect the masonry.
The MOros are as ingenious as the
Ftlipinos in the construction of trenches

are placed in the earth at intervals.
Then the necessary cross pieces Of the
same stock of smaller diameter are
put through the uprights, and these
cross pieces are interviewer with the

partition is put up about three feet

in the army when but fifteen years of
age, and served about a hundred days
at Sacketts Harbor. He was not in
any conflict, however. His father and
two brothers, Jeptha and John, also
saw service in the second war with
Great Britain. After the war Hiram
took up the trade of itinerant shoe
maker, travelling about the country.

it is better than it ever was before.

Noah we're alive today he would
either have to take the Kelley cure or
be run in by the police. Do you
think that he could get a call to any

would be a tight squeeze for him to
get into the Elks, to say nothing OF
the church.
Jacob seemed to have fairly good
standinglwith the Almighty, better
at any rate than his neighbors, and
vet he swindled his brother, lied to
his old blind father, and did up his
fatherinlaw in a cattle deal.
Samson had no traits OF character
that we in this day could admire. He
was essentially coarse in his tastes
and careless about his associates.
About the only thing that can be
said to his credit was that he was the
most successful after.dinner speaker
the world has ever known. After
the Phiistines had been feastng and
drinking Samson made few re.

words before he brought down the

Yes, August Flower still has the

entire world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors we're scarce,
and they seldom heard Of appendi-

failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation OF undigested
food, regulate the action Of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action OF the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
