The Medicine Habit.
n the INDIANAPOLIS News.

From the Indianapolis News.
There is something fascinating about a
medicine advertisement. 1t begins by de-
scribing the symptoms of the disease for
which i. Is a sure cure, and any one with

cines do cure. 1t Is easier and cheaper
to go to the druggist and buy a bottle OF
medicine than 1t Is to call on the physi-
clan or have him call you, and then
pay him, and get his prescription filled
and pay for that
The medicine habit is easily acquired,

gives the user a firm belief in the medi-
cine 1t is easy to take a dose when there
is no pain and soon the habit grows.
1t is not the poor that dread the .-ou-
bic and expense of a physician any more
than the well-to-do. A dose in the closet
is worth a half dozen more In the
dug store. and certainly the one at hand Is
preferred to the one few squares or
a mile away. A woman once contracted
the medicine habit from being presenter
with a case of homeopathic medicines
when she was about to take a Journey.
She had no need of single remedy In
the case but because the medicines were
there she tipped one bottle and .hen an
other to her tongue, from time 10 iime,
ano finally got to the point when she
would go into a drug store and buy a
medicine, and take 1t whenever she felt
inclined. 1t is a wonder that the doses
did not endanger her life. but she still

ed drunkard from buying medicines made
of bad whisky. The cases OF morphine
eaters are so common that they excite pity,
but not surprise. An Indianapolis man went
to Europe and not knowing the name OF
his favorite drug in the country where he
was staying wrote to a druggist here 10

HAS ALBEMARLE's STACK.
North Carolina Owns Remarkable Relic
Of the Civil War.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Perhaps the most remarkable of all the
relics of the civil war which North Caro-
lima has in its museum at Raleigh is the
smokestack of the Albenarle, a vessel
which had unique history and a sensa-
tional ending. There are, as well as can
be picked out, about 100 holes in the smoke
stack, those made by q, 10 and IL inch
guns being yawning ones.
The vessel was built of white oak and
pine in a cornfield belonging to Peter E.
Smith of Scotland Neck, and when COM
No photograph was ever taken of the yes
sci. The only drawing made was one by
her designer, j. L. Porter Of Portsmouth,
Va. of the Confederate navy. After he
made this drawing the protective shield on
her gun deck was altered and so the
drawing did not agree with the vessel as
she was launched. In order to preserve a
correct representation of the Albemarle his
daughter, under his direction, made draw
ing, which was the only true one.
Mrs. Smith says the Albemarle was built
under a contract made by Gilbert Elliott
& Co. Of Elizabeth City. N. c.. with the
pany consisted Of Elliott, Peter E. Smith
and Robert H. Smith. William Elliott, a
brother of the contractor, had charge Of
the money, the bookkeeping, etc; Peter e.
Smith had charge of the machinery and
the shipyard, and the latter did the first
work on the vessel, in the way of getting
timber from his own forest near by. He
spent every day in the yard, where he
watched every detail of the construction
from the time the keel was laid to the
final work on her.
The vessel was hastily built. but the
work was substantially done. The cannon
FOR her armament was sent from the Nor
folk Navy Yard, which the ConfederateS
had taken in June. 1861, upon its abandon
ment by the Federal forces. The iron used
in plating the vessel was rolled at the
Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond, the
material used being railway iron. which
was taken from the side tracks of a road
or two in North Carolina and sent to Rich
mond for this purpose.
The vessel was relied upon to drive the
federal forces from northeastern North
| Carolina, where they had taken possession.
The Albemarle sank or disabled or captur-
ed several federal vessels. but was finally
sunk at her wharf at Plymouth by the dar-
ing of Lieutenant Gushing, the boy officer
of the United States navy, who, after
weeks of watching. lying in the marshes,
succeeded one night in getting torpedo
over her boom and under her. The ex-
plosive did the work and the vessel sank
to remain in the mud. Her smokestack
was saved. riddled with shot and shell as
1t was and is an object of interest to
thousands of visitors to the Hall Of History
at Raleigh.

LuLL IN LOWER BROADWAY.
Tide Of Humanity Stops for a Minute
to Listen to the Band.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Lower Broadway is a good deal of VII
lage at times. A brass band under full
Roadway is not often seen and heard on a
week day there. The one which footed
through the thorughfare twice last week
had country town reception.
The musicians occupied a big motor car.
The windows of every Office building along
the line were opened up and each was
filed with faces as radiant as any that ever
tagged a circus parade. From the various
intersecting streets men and boys came
hurrying to see and listen to the band.
In some of the great banks, business
was nearly suspended as the musical car
went by. Along the route. the tide of hui

ever, after repeated searchings, failed to

Surprise Their Former Commander.

Nathaniel Shatswell, past colonel of En-
campment No. 90, u v. L.. was presented
by the members of the organization with a
handsome Morris chair at his home, 18th
and G streets northwest, Saturday even
ing, on the occasion of his SEVENTEEN birth
day anniversary. The members of the en-

prised him. The speech of congratulation
and presentation was made by Col. G. A.
Lyon, present commander of the encamp-
ment. Colonel Shatsweli expressed his ap-
probation of the kindness of his associates
and of his gratitude for the timely remem-
brance in appropriate terms.

balls interrupted, for the moment. great
transactions In the financial center of the
continent Ironworkers on the Orders of
skyscrapers under construction dropped
their implements for a moment and sour
ried along to the front like sailors on the

the sight. Pushcarts stood aside and street
organs were silenced. The band played on
as the motor hurried by.
At one office window a man who had
been a member of Presidents cabinet
looked out. His face indicated that he was

1t was a great day for the band, but 1t
was a greater one for lower Broadway.
Somebody said that Russell Sage, who is
seen at the corner of Broadway and Liber-
ty street every day at a certain hour-never
a minute late-on his way to the Western
Union building. was making his customary
turn when the car of musicians went by.
This same somebody averred that Mr.. Sage
stopped and looked and listened.
Then downtown resumed Its accustomed
activity. The band was playing in another
street. Lower Broadway had had min

Beers BURIED TREASURE.
Romantic Story Of Futile Search and
of Ultimate Recovery.
From South Africa.


News was received at Krugersdorp re-
Gently of the discovery In the bushveld be-
yond Louis Trichardt's Drift and the Spelon-
ken of the famous buried treasure which
was secretly removed from the Pretoria
mint just before Lord Roberts forces en-
tered the capital, and which formed the ro-
mantle issue in the tragedy eliminating in
the execution of ex-Policeman Swartz. The
treasure, which consists of bar gold and
coin, approximately amounts to $1,000
ounces, and is valued at quarter of mil
lion sterling.
The story OF its burial and recovery is
sensational in the extreme. II Is history
of blood and crime, no less than SIX men
having lost their lives In the burial and the
subsequent search for the gold, which has
lasted since the declaration of peace. OF
the original party which was dispatched to
hide the gold not single soul is alive to-
day. 1t appears that some twenty-four
hours before the occupation of Pretoria by
the imperial forces, orders We're received
at the mint from the late President Kruger
and Mr.. Reitz. the then state secretary, to
remove the greater portion of the gold
which was extracted from the Robinson.

Great Fair Opened Saturday.

The gates of the worlds greatest ex
position were formally thrown open te
the public at st. Louis Saturday. Those
who have seen all of the other great ex.
positions say that the Louisiana Pur.
chase show is SO far ahead OF the rest,
including even the worlds fair at Chi
cago, that comparisons are out of the
question. st. Louis is covering more
ground, literally and metaphorically,
spending more money and using better
Judgment than any city that has ever
been the site of an exposition.
1t is the first great fair that has aver
been attempted in a southern city and
state, though minor expositions have
been held In New Orleans, Atlanta and
Nashville Missouri IS not, geographic
cally speaking, a southern state, but it
was admitted to the Union as a slave
state in 1921 aud. though it did not Sc
cede during the civil war, its sympathies
were largely with the south and many
battles were fought on its soil. So Mis-
souri, is commonly regarded as a south
ern state and st. Louis as a southern
city.
The south regards the Louisisna Pur-
chase Exposition as largely its personal
affair, as far as the making OF it goes.
The idea originated there and the energy
and ability Of southern men have carried
it to a most successful launching. The
initial success goes to show that Ameri-
can activity is no longer confined to any
one section OF the country. 1t is found
everywhere
Missouri isdoing the bulk Of the work,
but she has been amply and ably assist
ed by other southern states and by the
nation generally. Foreign nations have
also contributed literally aud it is en-
tirely probable that, from every stand
point the exposition of 1904 will estab-
lish a record that will not be approached
for many years.

The Deserted Camp.

WRITTEN o H NEyADAN.
Here close beside the mountain stream,
The rude, deserted cabins stand.
When eager men from every land
Once dreamed a brief auriferous dream.
Disordered, strewn for far and wide,
The bouldery dumps their work attest,
Close to their place of troubled rest
Work and ~surceasing side by side.
A sense Of golo seems in the air;
The empty rose receptacle,
Still exquisite inhales its smell,
The essence of its yellow glare.
The ghost of that rich, rumored time
Still charms 10 some diluted way,
And bids the curious wanderer stray
To dream, and steep his soul in rhyme.
Where are the first who madly swept
The famous bed rocks richest creamY
Some still linger in their autumn dream
Some are dead, but few their treasure
kept.
Here stood the eilded gambling room;
U%nreckoning from every land,
The Injuries Sultans might command
Were brought to be that treasures
doom.
And Mag alen's OF mad, mock birth
False radiant ones, were gathered here
And riot reigned till that seep,ed ne
Which brought the deluge IN the
earth.
That golden mist Dissolved like dew;
Those days are dead and all is still.
But bark! The wind on yonder hill,
Sings as it sang ere seventy two.

Month Of May.

This is the month that the first deli
cate green is creeping up the mountain
sides, the trees are putting out their
early leaves and tho white and pink OF
the fruit blossoms, the wondering color
ing of the early flowers, go to make up a
picture that is altoge ther worth seeing.
May is commonly considered the third
month of Spring. 1t is more often the
first mouth. March aud April are so
often raw and blustery and cold that
me doesn't get into the real spring feel
ing until after May has come. A few
flowers bloom earlier but the prettiest of
thea are not With as until May, the trees
are not 80 green, the sunshine SO balmy,
the air so clear May has been called
the merry MONTH"
Let US. all be thankful that May has
come. True it may be showing when
you read this and you'll have to ok at
your calendar 10 order to convinc your
self that it is May. but rest assured that
from now on the bad weather will last
but a day or two at a time. Most of the
days will be days worth going a long,
long way to live in. Aud il we didn't
have the gray days, how could we appre-
ciate the sunshine and the flowers?

Store Robbed.

Robert Hogan's store in Austin was
broken into and robbed Wednesday
night of last week. The door was lock-
ed by a night latch and the main lock,
The window light near the night latch
was broken out and that lock opened.
Not having a key for the main lock the
thieves pulled the moulding away frou
the panel Of the door, pushed the panel
in and opened the catch at the bottom oil
the double doors. and by so doing they
were able to spring the doors apart. The
molding around the panel to the doo'
was carried off by the parties entering
the store.
All that Mr.. Hogan missed was nine
gold finger rings, one dozen scarf pins
and about 81 in small change taken from
the cash drawer, which had been broken
open.
There is no clew at present as to
whom the guilty party may be, but his
weakness and vanity is shown in his Sc
lection OF the jewelry and will, no doubt
be his undoing.
