THOUGHT HUNTER A
TURKEY.

George H. Burlington of Me-
chanicsburg, was shot in mistake
for. a turkey while hunting in the
mountain near Deans Gap. He
had secreted himself along a path
turkeys were said to frequent.
Thinking his position not as good
as one nearby he shifted to an.
other spot. A gunner some dis
tance away, noticing the commo-
ton in the bushes and seeing a
moving figure, mistook Buffing-
ton for a turkey and pulled the
trigger. The contents of the gun
struck Burlington in both legs,
midway between knee and hip,
infiicting very painful wounds.
Five of the shot, almost as large
as buckshot, entered the right
leg, which is the most badly in
jured, and two the left leg.

people welland weak peoplestrong

food into the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you feel good all
over. Mrs. Cranfll, of Troy, l. T.
writes For a number of years l
was troubled with indigestion and
dyspepsia which grew into the
worst form. Finally l wasinduced
to use Kodol and after using four
bottles am entirely cured. l re-
commend Kodol to all sufferers
from indigestion and dyspepsia.

The Path We Should Follow.

I'll climb that golden stairway,
Till I reach the height of fame,
And when | reach the top-most round
III have an honored name.
No matter how the way may seem,
Nor how dim the light may shine,
But our path in time may beam
With the light in course of time.
Oh young men, l pray thee,
Make your way so bright
That your descendants may followyou
In the paths of right.
We know not when the day may come
But it sure to come in time;
So why not make this life of ours
A life of great sublime.
Do not think me conceited,
In saying these few lines;
For often I've repeated
To younger men in time.
Some young men go unheeding,
Through,this bright world Of ours,
And from the right path receding,
Go to the drunkard's S bower.
Oh ! this disdainful habit,
That's brought ruin to their souls,
May they shrink from the filthy habit,
And begin again as whole.
May some young man heed this,
Who has lost his precious years,
And now resolve to repent Of it
Repent with bitter tears.
