bertson, a local blacksmith, had almost
decided to give up his shop altogether
on account of Rheumatism which had
crippled him SO that at times he could
not use bis hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night He
had suffered for years. but was gradu-
ally getting worse. till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some won
dertul cures of rheumatism by Dodd S
Kidney Pills and thought he would try
for a cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not a trace of Rheumatism left
The shop will not be gwen up and Mr.

AN UNCROWNED KING.
kREIGDEN ISLAND IN THE MISSOURI
HAS A MONARCH.
His Subjects Turbulent Set, but Com

but Effective Manner.

There are within the borders of the
United States several localities at least

the strongest of the community. The
dominion pays not cent of taxes to
any county or state, and no county or

It's affairs. The hunter, trapper, fisher
king does that
All this has come about because the
Missouri river is always changing, and
the states in interest have in several
instances been unable to come to an
understanding regarding certain
changed tracts. 1t is these where the
jurisdiction is unclaimed that have be-
come the little monarchies within the
borders of the republic
Kreigden island, SO called because a
man of that name is the master of it,
lying in the middle of the river half
way between Nebraska City and ST.
Joe, is one of the biggest of the kind,
and the mana cement is typical.
The island came into existence away
back in the early 70s, and was covered
with squatters long before the ques-
ton of state jurisdiction was raised.
At the first intimation of the intention
on the part of some to establish state
authority, Kreigden took the leadership
of the party that didn't want it, and,
though his efforts may really have had
no effect in the matter, he thinks they
did, and he makes his fellows think So
and for him that is sufficient. That is
what makes him king.
His kingdom is three miles long, ana
varies in width from a hundred yards
to little more than a quarter of a
mile. 1t would seem the management
of such little spot. especially when
settled by only a few dozens of peo-
pie, would be easy enough. But that
is not so, for when you come to I'M
derstand the conditions there is more
of interest.

are the sort that try in other places

there was no very gentle regard for
him in the community in which he

accuse him of stealing or some other

file complaint against a fellow islander
for any offense, anywhere committed

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.
Little Narlon in No Way Afraid of Its
Mighty Rival.

About Japan Russia thinks night and
day. When she, with the help of
France and Germany, had unceremoni-
ously kicked Japan out of Port Arthur
and off the mainland of China. Russia
probably thought that she had done
with the little island empire for long
time. But Japan thought otherwise,
and proceeded to lay out a program of
naval and military expansion due to
mature short time before the Trans
Siberian railway was to be completed.
Many things have conspired to binder
the progress of the great railway, but
Japan's military and naval schemes
have gone steadily onward in spite
of all financial difficulties.
To-day she has a magnificent navy,
including the most powerful battle
ship afioat, stronger than any fleet
Russia could safely send to the far
east, while her army is at least equal
in mum bers and superior in equipment
and scientific training to the land
forces Russia could muster on the east
ern side of her vast dominionS. And
between the two nations there lies
Korea-a territorial deadlock. a politi-
cal anthony. Russia cannot allow
Japan to have it, for that would give
her eastern border a land frontier to
a military power Japan cannot allow
Russia to have it, for that would leave
her island home almost within gun
shot of the troops and the naval bases
of the Colossus of the north. and de-
prive her of an outlet for her over
flowing population. At present Japan
is gaining for her influence and her
people and her trade are increasing in
Korea every day.
1t is a very dangerous situation in
deed. says Henry Norman in Serb
ner's. and Russia would give much
for a diplomatic exit from this Mill
tary and naval anxiety. So. too, would
Japan. whom 1t has nearly ruined. and
the situation would inevitably hatch
out a treaty, except for the simple diff
ficulty that neither country will re-
linquish the only thing the Other

PROTECT ITALIAN VINEYARDS.
How Their Owners Fight Threatened
Danger from Storms.

Big, funnel-shaped cannon that look
like gigantic speaking trumpets set
up on three legs are objects of Won
der to the traveller passing through the
vineyard districts of Italy. Some of
them stand as high from the ground as
the roof of an ordinary house, while
others are not more than ten or fif-
teen feet high. The largest could hold
three or four men in their bell-shaped
openings and still have room to spare.
When dark clouds begin to gather
and drift toward the vineyard districts,
men may be seen hurrying toward the
cannon carrying rolls of ammunition.
They are going to drive off the threat
ening thunderstorm. if possible.
AS the storm approaches, a dull
boom, like the discharge of a piece of
heavy artillery, is heard, and a ring of
smoke rises from one of the trumpets
nearest the cloud bank. More cannon
are discharged as the storm clouds
draw closer to the vineyards until it
seems as if the battery was engaged in
a contest with the elements.
If the storm promises to be heavy,
all the available cannon are called into
action in the effort to prevent the
thunder and hail storm from sweeping
over that part OF the country ana DO
ing enormous damage.
Even these determined efforts to
fight off the thunderstorms are some
times ineffective. The elements come
off victorious, with the result that a
mass of hailstones descends, cutting
down the vines and other vegetation
as if hewn with knives. In five min
utes the work of a year may be de-
stroyed, and every bunch of grapes in
the vineyard ruined.
The weather cannon have been In
use for about two years in northern
Italy, as we'll as in some parts of
Spain and southern France. The idea
originated in the French Republic,
where winemakers near Marsei1ies dis
covered that the rapid discharge of a
field piece tended to ward off hail
storms.

Meant to Cause rr..ident-. Death.

The recent assassination of Presi-

inence a queer relic in possession OF
the London police. About year ago
a crowd collected aroung the Ameri-
can legation in Victoria street, watch
ing the queer performances of an Ital-
IAN He had placed a little wax figure
of the American president on the door
step. and set fire to it He was just
lighting up the second figure when the
police came up, and he ran away. He
left behind him the second figure,
which represented the American eagle,
and was stuck full of pins The man
was brother of Guido Mazarre, who
was lynched in louisiana His belief
was that he was avenging his kins-
mans death by entailing upon the
President a slow and lingering death
The coincidence of Mr. McKinleys
death within the year was a strange
one.

King of kretgdeu Island.
Thus it happens that the settlement of
all troubles arising among them must
be settled among themselves. AS they
are not the sort of men who will get
along with republic, they have to
have a king. He is generally the
them. He is their interpreter of right
and wrong. their judge of fact and
their counselor. If one-half his sub
jects are arrayed against the other
half and all of them up in arms. he
must put shot cartridges into his own
gun and go out with the faction he
thinks best for him to lead.
Troubles that end in that sort of
thing frequently arise. Whatever is
done in the way of patching up the
troubles after the feud is settled, SO
far as the community is concerned, is
done by the king. He declares who
shall contribute to the support of this
widow and of that child, and whatever
he says goes

Music for Anarchy.

Goodwin Smith says the best way to
eliminate anarchy from the land is to
give more time in the public schools
to the teaching of music. 1t appears
to be the theory of the professor that
a man who sings or plays upon some
instrument never commits murder, but
he ignores the frequency with which
singers and musicians tempt other
folks to shoot or throw a brick.

Deer Are Quite safe.

There are about 500 deer on Long
Island. The law allows them to be
hunted on four days during the month
of November. Being so near New
York, it would be thought that the
army of hunters would completely ex-
terminate the animals. But expert
ence shows that the city hunters are
such poor shots that the deer are in
little danger.
