There was happy gathering at thu
home of Weems Heagy, near Anderson,
recently. Mr.. Heagy is a farmer, and
it was for the first time in thirty years
that the family had gathered about hte
Sunday dinner table, with the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the last note OF a
mortgage on the old home place had
been lifted.
Since 1873, when Mr.. Heagy was
treasurer of Madison county, he has
been paying by installments, $4,000
and interest to Madison county to make
good the loss Of the county when the
Stilwell bank failed and caught that
amount of hte funds of the county
treasurer. His bondsmen were ready
to back him, but Mr.. Heagy gave notes
and mortgages with approved security
and set to work to pay off the debt.
He returned to farming and has been
at it steadily, paying off the debt to the
county and gradually building up a
home for his family. Late Saturday
afternoon he walked into the county
treasurer's office and paid $500. That

A WONDERFUL Pill.

Freedom, Mo-, Niv. 3rd.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced in
this neighborhood. 1t is called Dodd's
Kidney Pills and it has cured Rheuma-
tism right and left. On every hand may
be heard stories Of the remarkable re-
coveries and from what has been stated
already there seems to be no case OF
Rheumatism that Dodd's Kidney PILE
will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills lie
Katie Anderson of this place, whe
says:
II can't say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me 50
much. l suffered very severely with
Rheumatism. Five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine have ever
used
Usage County abounds in just such
cases and if the good work keeps on
there will soon be no Rheumatism left
in this part Of the state.

THE HAMPERING HEROINE.
Publishers Fight Shy of Stories With
out Heroines.

Now, while all sorts and conditions
of men are prompted to write fiction
and are casting about for material
which can be worked into Stories is a
fitting time to suggest that love should
not be the novelist's literary move 1t
may be true that publishers fight shy of
stories without heroines, but it is
equally true that if tale is good of it's
kind the reading public will ignore it
merely because one of it's prominent
characters is not a young woman. Who
remembers the shadowy girls in David
Harum and Eben Holden--the most
successful books, commercially, of the
recent season of phenomenal sales of
fiction? AS to Kim, Kipling's latest
and greatest and mOst-readbook, the
only woman essential to the story is
an old Hindu virago. To say that the
three books named are not novels, in
the strict sense of the term, is to beg
the question, for if a work of fiction is
readable it's readers ask not how it
shall be lassifed-whether as novel.
romance, story, or mere sketch.
All the world loves lover. and takes
kindly to lovers darlings; all the world
likes sweetmeats, but it wearies of
them as steady diet. Love is the mo-
tive of almost all printed fiction; if a
novelist takes in hand any other hui
man passion or sentiment he finds it
almost impossible of treatment unless
on some pretext he coaXes into it's
pages a young woman who, no matter
how charming, proceeds promptly to
handicap the author and spoil what
might have been a great story. Such
subserviency reminds one of the school
of French art in which no landscape
painting was acceptable unless it con-
tanned brown tree, which had to be
considered both IL composition and
color scheme-more decorous treatment
than is accorded the young woman by
promising noVelistS who literally drag
her by the heels into stories that would
be better without her presence.
Perish the thought that fiction as
whole can or shall abjure the heroine.
Love stories will be written as long as
the world stands, and good people,
read and ask for more. But there are
great possibilities in ficion in which the
Soung woman is as distinctly out of
place as she would be in barber shop.
Perhaps it was with these in mind
that some living nOvelists, have init
mated that they dared not write as
well as they could-by which they
meant only that they could not secure
a publisher. But Nathaniel Haw-
thorne's fame is Independent of hero
ines; so is Robert Louis Stevenson's;
so is Kipling's. What man has done
man can do; at least he can attempt
it, if only to crafty his own ambi-
ton and the public taste for something
original.-Brandur Magazine.

willine to Continue DRIVE

The late John Fiske, the historian,
was a man OF enormous stature, and
extremely sensitive about any reference
to his unusual size. On one occasion,
when he was visiting a friend at his
home in beautiful town in Connecti-
cut, the hostess and her daughter in
vited Mr.. Fiske to drive with them one
morning. The road was a picturesque
one, which winds along the river at
the foot of the mountains. At one
point the hostess suggested that the
party alight and walk a short distance
through the field to get particularly
attractive view. Around this field was
a high fence with no opening but a
narrow stile. The ladies passed through
and turned to wait for their guest. For
a moment he contemplated the opening
to squeeze through was impossible, to
climb over was equally impracticable.
Finally his deep bass voice broke the
silence: Ladies, think we better con-
tinue our drive"

The boys were beginning to grow Inn
patient for the entertainment, which
their host had promised them. Some
had already begun to cry; Bring on

wine had affected less noticeably, re-

In the extreme corner of the assembly
hall, directly facing Dick Turpen, was

shown there a few minutes previous
but before that time she had sent a note

ments removed from II when Dick Tur-
pen arose, and in voice that sounded
husky and grave, he said:

Turpen was here interrupted by a
! number of voices some protested one
thing, others asserted another, and
while they were speaking the clock
struck II. The little curtain was slowly
drawn back and there, standing gowned
in superb white, was a beautiful girl,
and by her side a f1axen-haired little
chap of possibly 8 years.
Dick arose and, offering her his arm,
brought her over to the center of the
room and announced her to his friends.
Just then the clergyman entered, and
before the clock had noted the half

"Boys," said Dick, IT received note

Just then messenger boy entered

MY SKIES ARE SELDOM GRAY
I've had my share

I've had my share
OF carking care,
OF tickle Fortunes frowns;
I've braved and borne
The cold worlds scorn,
And had my ups and downs
Yet I can still
A ditty trill
Or sing a roundelay;
For though hold
Nor lands nor gold,
My skies are seldom gray!
The stress and strife
OF toilsome life
Have taught me one glad truth,
Not he who must
Crawls in the dust,
But who will-forsooth,
And so I sing
My song, and fling
My load of care away;
For though I hold
Nor lands nor gold.
My skies are seldom gray!
I would not give
A fig to live
Divorced from fret and MOL;
The bread I eat
Is rendered sweet
Because of daily toll.
And SO 1 still
A ditty trill-
A blithesome roundelay;
For though 1 hold
Nor lands nor gold
My skies are seldom grayl

Oscar Walsh Wins Swimming Race

A few of the people of Three Lakes
had until recently very high opinion
of them selves, also thinking that they
could dictate to Eagle River citizens,
but things have been changed and they
have ''gone way back and sat down. .
One day last week after scoring one
of our citizens for keeping the band
and ball club at home the 4th, one of
the chief moguls Of the sawdust city
bet $40 that he could beat any man in
Eagle River in a swimming match of
40 rods. The money was quickly COW
cred by our representative. The time
for the race was set for Saturday night
and Oscar Walsh accompanied by a
number of citizens drove down to get
their money. The world renowned
swimmer had a substitute ready and
Oscar simple had a cinch on that $40
from the start. We have beat their
ball teams and swimmers, and are
now waiting for some other tame
sport to show up and meet their water
loo.
