citizen selected from among the tillers
Of tho soil, all of whom knew the
value of good king snake and could
appreciate Mr. Elderwood's figures
lost none Of their seriousness, and at
the end of the trial promptly handed in
n verdict for the plaintiff
Dclnpsy Duvall's counsel Immediate
ly entered an appeal, and the case was
transferred to The hi CHER court The
defendant, though he had no doubt Of
his ultimate success, had begun 10 re-
alizc that it was expensive to kill a
king snake. But there was memory
connected with the cause of the suit
that entirely set aside the thought Of
expense, though Duvall had not had a
glimpse Of that face since the incident.
AS Dcmpsy walked from the court
room on the day of the trial, a boy
handed him a note, the superscription
of which was puzzling. The hand
writing was unknown TO him, but he
hastily opened the letter and read:
" Dear Mr.. Duvall-I have Just
learned Of the unfortunate turn Ger
tain in cldcnt with which you were
connected has taken for you, and
hasten to make known to you how
deeply l regret that your kind assist
ancc i'll removing reptile from my
path has led you INTO trouble; also to
express hope that your opponent
will lose his suit. With prayers for
your victory, I beg to remain, very
respectfully yours,
"ALICIA SCHUYLER"
AT her aunt's, Mrs. Cavanagh's g
for fortnight.'
Dcmpsy felt something humping
ccklcssly against the inner walls OF
his structure as he rc-read the note.
"At Mrs. Cavanagh's for a fortnight,
he rcpeatcd', and then after the second
repetition there was very sweet taste
in his mouth.
g God bless the king SNAKE" Duvall
was wont to eXclaim quite frequently
during the next two weeks.
g on, l shall regret it 50 much" :"
said Alicia one evening, as Duvall was
taking leave, " If you have To pay out
all that money just for killing "a
snakc," AMI she smiled at the absurd
ity of it.
Would you, rcally?' asked Duvall.
" Now, Just let me tell you what I've
been thlnking.'
/" What is that2'
1'vc been thinking would Just 90
and pay old IIldcrwood his demands
without more ado.n
Oh, why?" And Alicia looked her
amazcmcnt.
" On account Of-----' Duvall drew il
little nearer, and the tone OF his voice
dropped just little lower. "On ac-
count Of a certain great Happiness winch
that little incident has brought me
only tho price is far too small"
For moment Nlicia's cyclashcs
dropped, and she stood hlushinY deep
". Duvall took advantage Of the mo-
mcnt to take her hand in his.
If | could just 90 on removing
such little obstacles from your path all
through your dear lifr," continued,
" should count myself the Eappicst
man alive. Now wont you give nc
the rlght?'
There was a moment during which
.hc hand that Duvall held struggled
uncertainty for freedom. Then il |
grew passive again, and the tail yirl
half whispered something quito close
to Duvall's ear which caused him to
cXriaim fervcntly:
God bless old Eldcrwood and the
king snake"

For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine SO valuable as
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
Many diseases i'll organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is "wcak"
there IS failure to properly digest and
assinilate the food which is eaten.
HENCE the wloie body, and each organ
CT 1t, suffers from lack Of nutri,ion, SO
that rs consequence of "weak" " stom-
ach, there may be weak" lungs, "wealS"
heart, weak" or torpid liver, "wcak /"
nerves, etc. BY curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, "Golden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation Of the
nutrllnent necessary for the requirements
of n healthy body. 1t increases the ac-
tvity Of the blood-making glands, and
SO increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid Of the body.
There is no alcohol in the "Discovery"
and 1t is entirely free from opium, CO.
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those
suffering from disease in its chronic form
are invited TO consult Dr. Pierce by letter

with the United States, because of the
recent decision of the Washington
court Of arbitration in the BurrelI

CONVENTION CALLED.
Mine Workers TO Meet in Indian
apOlis, Ind. July IL.
II Will Be Settled at This Meeting
Whether the Soft Coal Miners
Shall Join the Anthracite
Workers Strike.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 19.-An OH
cial call for a national convention of
the United Mine Workers of America
was issued Wednesday afternoon from
the national headquarters in this city
by Secretary-Tr Wilson. The
convention will meet here July IL to
determine whether the soft coal min
ers Of the country shall go on strike
to assist the striking anthracite min
ers of Pennsylvania.
The basis of the apportionment of
delegates to the convention is one for
every hundred members of the local
union or fraction over go This will
make a convention of 1000 delegates.
The voting strength of all locals is
between $500 and 2,400 OF this the
convention will have a voting strength
of from 100 to 1900. A bare major
ity can order a strike. A little over
900 can declare a strike. The three
anthracite regions cast TAT votes, Yir-
ginia and Micigan, which joined in the
call for the convention, have 50, max
ing 799 votes from these five districts
which united to call the convention.
AS stated at headquarters conditions
are not satisfactory to miners in Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Arkansas and Indian
territory and it is believed the dele
gates from those sections will vote
for a strike.
Columbus, O., June 19.@The execu-
tive board of the Ohio Mine Workers
board Wednesday adopted a set of res
olutions asking President Mitchell to
call a general convention Of the union
It is stated upon unquestionable au-
thority that this action is for the pur-
pose of fighting the question of a
strike to assist the anthracite miners
in their fight
The Ohio miners prefer to take their
chances in a convention rather than
permit the national board to declare
strike. Ohio operators have been
assured that there will be no strike
declared. The resolutions adopted
Wednesday say in part:
''The life of our national organiza-
IlOn D6iuB IuI6dISu6U SuOulQ our
forces be defeated, we believe that 2
more comprehensive plan of campaign
should be marked out and clearer
understanding Of the dangers confront
ing US given our members, so that ev-
cry effort can be made with honor
and credit, be directed to the crushing
of the enemies of our union, rather
than for the correction at this time
of minor grievances"
In this connection it is pointed ont
that Ohio miners and operators are
working under a contract It is
known that the whole force of the
Ohio mine workers organization is
opposed to strike and will fight the
proposition on the floor of the eonven
ton. The Ohio miners prefer to pay
so cents a ton on all the coal they
mine for the benefit of the anthracite
men rather than break their con
tracts.
