Cure to Stay Cured.

Wapello. Iowa, Oct. 10 Especially
One Of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that Of Mrs. Minnie Hart Of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months
and when she was able to sit up she
was, all drawn up on one side and
could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak.
ing Of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after | was in bed for eight months
and know the cure was complete
for that was three years ago and I
Sve not been down since. In four
weeks from the time started taking
them | was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful am
to be cured or how much | feel | owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths Of
the suffering the human family Is heir
to, will disappear.

History Of the Rose.

The culture Of the rose beginSsng
goes back beyond records. The flower
is mentioned in the earliest Coptic
manuscripts. midas traditions take
the rose to the times of the gods on
earth. Egypt had roses, wild and
tame, before the Roman occupation
made 1t, in a way, Rome's commercial
rose garden; yet, curiously enough,
there is no reference to the flower in
painting, sculpture or hieroglyphics.
Japan, in our time, parallels Egypt.
Roses flourish there, but do not serve
as a motif for artists. There is the
further llkeness-neither Egypt nor
Japan has a rose song or love song

Flowing by Dynamite.

At Pendleton, Ore, and on several
farms in the eastern part of the state
of Washington, dynamite is used to
break up the hard pan" stratum just
underneath the surface. Good soil
and moisture are under the hard
pam"
In the sagebrush and alkali regions
this stratum Of "hardpan" will not
let the moisture come to the surface,
nor can tree roots and alfalfa roots
reach the moisture. So the surface is
dry alkali, the mother of sagebrush
and nothing else.
The dynamiters believe that by
smashing this barren and rebellious
stratum they can make the moisture
come up and the roots go down.
Crops have been planted over con
siderable tract of dynamited ground
In the fall we shall know how good a
farmer dynamite is.-Everybody's.

RattIesnake seminoIes' Messenger

hdttleSndke OeTllnoIcS mcSoCHHoT'
Great CONSERVATION was created
among the members Of the Seminole
council at Wewoka yesterday, when
a large rattlesnake gllded into the
tent where the assemblage was being
addressed by the attorney Of the ma
ton, Capt. A. j. McKennon. Capt. Nc
Kennon was about to kill the snake,
when one of the councilmen stopped
him, explaining in broken English:
Him rattlesnake; he come down to
Seminole council; no other snake do
that. He sent by Great Spirit. He
go South; that mean Mexico. We
must all go Mexico SOON"
The captain was told that the rat
tlesnake had long been messenger
to the Seminole tribe from the Great
Spirit. They told him that just be-
fore their fight with Jackson In the
South, many moons ago, great rat
tlesnake crawled from the bank of a
lake and came into camp. The medi'
cine man assembled and told the
members of the tribe that great trou.
BILE was about to come upon them.
They would have a great fight and, as
the snake went west, part Of the
tribe would be driven west. They
said that the rattlesnake had been
looked upon as a messenger ever
since.-Muskogee correspondence Of

Oh, how they must have shivered In
those pleasant days of old!
oh, those ancient lords of old, how mag
nifcent they were!
They threw down and prisoned kings-to
thwart them who might dare?
They ruled their serfs right sternly; they
took from Jews their gold;
Above both law and equity were those
great lords of old!
Oh, the gallant knights of old. their
Valor so renowned!
With sword and lance and armor strong,
they secured the country round;
And whenever aught to tempt them they
met by wood or void,
BY right Of sword they seized the prize
those gallant knights of old!
Oh, the gentle danes of old, who, quite
free from fear of pain,
Could gaze on joust and tournament and
see their champions slain;
They lived on good beefsteaks and ale,
which made them strong and bold
Oh, more like men than women were
those gentle danes of old
Oh, those mighty towers of old. with
their turrets, mOat and keep,
Their battlements and bastlons, their
dungeons dark and deep;
Full many baron held his court within
the castle hold:
And many a captive langulshed there, In
those strong towers of old!
Oh, the troubadours of old, with the gen.

OF hope and joy, or deep despair, which,

For years they served their lady-love ere

Oh, wondrous patience must have had

Oh, those blessed times Of old, with their
chivalry and state!

such brave deeds relate;
love to sing their ancient rhymes, to
hear their legends told
But, Heaven be thanked | live not In
