Fate Of Men Who Shot a spx,

"While with the British army in
South Africa" said Maj Blanchard, an
attache of the British consulate, Il
was allotted on one occasion the stern
task of commanding firing party of
ten men who executed a Boer officer
who had broken his parole and after
ward been condemned as a spy. He
had assumed the uniform of an Eng
lish soldier and penetrated our lines
after having levanted when on his pa
role
Every member Of that firing party
has come to fatal or serious grief since
that Friday morning when in the gray
dawn we shot the spy. Sudden death
or a bad accident has befallen each
one.
My turn has come, as you see.'
And the soldier who had fought in a
half-dozen campaigns pointed his left
arm. which was in splints, having been
fractured in a street car accident

Connection Between Its Phases and

"The sloughing season of the crab
is after the dark of the moon, increas-
ing as the moon nears it's full-operat-

ply and demand, as the supply be-
comes more abundant at the moons
full, prices after drop to 10 or Is cents

fancy prices of from 60 to 80 cents are
received. 1t is only at the season of
shedding its old for a new garment
that the crab grows and develops from
the small crab at the opening of the
season to the 'channeled' at it's close.

That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond doubt by Mrs.
Betsy A. Clawson, we'll known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had 1t bad, all her acquaintances
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows:
II was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
frst year l could not do as much as a
baby could do. then rallied little
bit and then a relapse. Then year
ago the govt set in my hands and feet.

gust, 1908, when my husband died I
could not ride to the grave.
Il only took two boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks could
wait on myself and saw my own wood,
I dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills cured MEL
Rheumatism Is caused by uric acid
IN the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out Of the blood.

Where Poetry Pause.,

There is most delightful poetry in a love-

There is poetry In her motion as she
glideth in the dance:
There is poetry in the moonlight that you
take her out to see,
While the bulbul softly twitters in an
overhanging tree
There is poetry in the wavelets when
you take her for a row;
There is poetry in the meadow when
There is poetry In the woodland when
you sit beside a brock
Holding hands and reading poetry from

sell an incubator to a farmer His ar

on the agriculturist. Finally, as a
clincher in favor Of his up-to-date i'm

"Look at the time it will save"
The farmer squirted a mouthful OF
