A Little Child Dead.

The little 4-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugh Bird, who was so badly
burned at the home OF his parents in
southeast Mexico early Saturday morn
ing, died Sunday morning, after hav-
ing lived In great agony over "a hours.
Funeral services were conducted
from the residence of his parents Mon
day afternoon by Rev. II. E. Truck.
The little fellow was left at the
breakfast table by his mother Satur-
day morning while she went to the
home of a neighbor for a moment. The
lad got down from the table and going
into another room secured a match
with which he lit a lamp. His sister
seeing what he was doing, extinguished
the flame and the boy dropped the
still burning match, which set fire to
his dress. He rushed wildly for the
open air and was caught at the door
by a neighbor, who rolled him on a
bed and extinguished the flames, but
not until the poor little fellow had
been horribly burned.

In the bright light OF a summer day
back in the early '30s. People went to
a dance then in the morning and
danced all day-not all night. Thomas
Benton Benedict owned the cabin and
the dance vas In the month of July.
The floor was dusty and the dancers
barefoot. There we're no dainty
Cinderella slippers nor dancing pumps
worn by early Missouri youth. There
was much enthusiasm The dark dust
of the floor soon adhered to the moist
feet of the midsummer dancers and
the merry maidenS and men called each
other 'blackfoot.' To this day the
whole region is called 'Blackfoot.' 1t
comprises some Of the best farming
land In Boone County"

A FRIENDS ADVICE.

What a Mexico Citizen Says.

You may hesitate to listen to the
advice OF strangers, but the testimony
of friends or residents of Mexico is
worth your most careful attention. 1t
is an easy matter to investigate such
proof as this. The evidence must be
conclusive, Read the following;
Mrs. J. L. Hill, of Breckenridge st.,
south side Of the school, says: "For
four years l had trouble with my
kidneys, causing pain in my back just
across the loins, at times very severe.
Often l was so bad | could hardly at
tend to my work, despite the fact that
l was constantly taking all kinds Of
medicine. Noticing Doan's Kidney
Pill advertised to cure kidney COM
plant and that only, l went to Buck
ner & Whitney's drug store for a box,
After a dose or two l knew they we're
taking effect. A continuation Of the
treatment thoroughly proved that
Doan's Kidney Pills more than act up
to the representations made for them.
So satisfied was l with the results
obtained from them that l gave them
to a child Of minef 5 years of age, who
was. greatly benefited by the treat
ment.

THE WORLDS VOLCANOES.
The Number of Them and Where
They are Located-But One in
Europe.

The number Of great habitual vol
canic vents upon the globe is estimat-
ed at between 300 and $50. The Ameri-
can continent contains more than the
countries Of the Old World-20 in
North America, 25 Central America
and 81 In South America.
There is but one on the whole con-
tinent of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
elsewhere in the Mediterranean there
are six-Stromboli and Vulcano, in
the Lipari islands; Etna, in Sicily;
Graham island, a submarine volcano,
OIL the Sicilian coast, and Santorius
and Nisyros in the Aegean sea.
The African continent is known to
contain ten active volcanoes, four on
the west and six on the east coast, and
there are about ten other on neigh
boring islands.
In Asia there are t%wenty-four active
volcanoes, but no less than twelve OF
these are situated on the peninsula Of
Kamchatka. The are no volcanoes in
Australia.
Thus, taken altogether, there are
about III volcanoes on the great con-
tinents, and nearly twice as many on
the islands scattered over the several
oceans.
