And this set Maria thinking of the home lake

HOLD FUNERAL IN A TENT.
Big Canvas Put to Many Strange uscs Serves as Church to
 Mournsrs.

fn Kendall county, H., there is big canvas tent that has been made to serve for an odd mixture of purposes. For many years it covered regulation saw dust ring in which there were all kinds of performances by man and beast On other occasions it was made use of for revivMs, and has been hauled around the country from place to place for many purposes. This year Aurora bloomed out as Chautauqua town, and the tent sheltered big audiences intent on hearing lectures, recitations, and speeches from well-known takers
 Music of all kinds has at odd times filled the big inclosure. However, the oldest purpose to which it was ever put came when Nels O. Cassem, a well-knowA Kendall county man, fell from his wagon as he was driving along the pub- lie highway and broke his neck. Cas- sem was a well-known character, . farmer who in all of that section was known as the king of the Norwegians. :" He was known to be worth several hun- dred thousand dollars in valuable lands. and the funeral promised to be larger than any church in Yorkville or Aurora would hold. One of the sons resorted to . unique expedient. He hired the big tent and stretched 1t out on one of the beautiful meadows over which his fa- ther had roamed for so many years. and the funeral sermon was thus preached under canvas.

PAPER TRADE IN TURKEY. In 1908 $4oo, 900 Worth of the Ar ticls for Making Cigarettes
 Was Imported.

In the year 1903 Turkey in Europe imported paper and cardboard to the value of about $500, 0,000 and cigarette pa per to the value of $40O, 900. Austria and Italy were the chief sources of supply. The German consul at Saloniki says large quantities of all sorts of paper, including wall paper, enter that port for distribution throughout Turkey. This paper trade is in Austrian hands. Diff ferent manufacturers in Austria com bine in sending out commercial travel CTS to Turkey, one traveller showing the products of several Austrian paper mills. The German consul general at Constantinople, in a report to his gov- ernment, says that Turkey is one of England's best markets for cotton yarns and cotton piece goods, taking in 1903 nearly $2,500,000 worth of cotton yarns and 15,700,000 worth of cotton piece goods Within the last few years Italy has greatly increased her exports of cot ton textiles to Turkey and is becoming strong competitor of England in that market If American manufacturers of cotton goods were to give energetic and intelligent attention to the Turkish mar ket, they would probably find it good one.

TORTOISE FIGHT IS FUNNY
Battle Between Shell-Covered An- imals May Continue Long Time
 Without Injury to Either.

'Listen," said the farmer, leaning on his hoe. From the next field came a sound of rapping, sound as of sharp lnocks on door. What is that?" said the city man. "A tortoise fight" the farmer answered. Well go and see 1t. |" They made their way toward the rap ping sound, relates the Baltimore Her. aid, and in little while they came upon two box tortoises that were fighting hard. The creatures fought in strange way. They made at one another with their heads protruded, but, at the mo- ment of collision. each tried to use his front flap for shield, and the result of this prudence was that not the heads but ,nly the shells of the tortoises hurtled ogether. There was bang. Then the lighters backed off and prepared for an- other round. The two men watched hem till the spectacle became weari- some. Then they returned to the pota- 10 patch.

REMARKABLE CURE OF
 RHEUMATISM.

Mir. Michael Doran, employed by the American Bridge Co.,, Youngstown, o., writes: T want to say for the benefit of my fellowmen that have been suf- fering for long time with acute Rheumatism in my knees. had tried every kind of remedy, including an expensive course of electrical treat ment, but all of no avail. One day at the suggestion of my druggist I took a bottle of Paracamph to try. The effect of its use was magical. I got relief at once, and after using three or four bottles I believe I am perma- nently cured. It is certainly won- derful remedy, and upon my advice a number of friends have tried Para camph, and the verdict is unanimous that it will do all that is claimed for it" Don't suffer from Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sore and Stiff Joints. Use Paracamph. It has cured others and will cure you. Your druggist will sell it to you on a guarantee of satisfaction or money refunded. No cure, no pay. Get bottle to-day. Trial size 25c; family sizes soc and $1.OO. If you have never tried Paracamph we will send you trial size free. Write to-day. The Paracamph Co.,, Louisville, Ky.

Pain in the Head

Is a danger signal, warning you that the brain nerves are exhausted-irritated, and are undergoing an unnatural strain.
 Frequent and prolonged att tacks of pain weaken the gen. erative power of the nerve cells of the brain, and lead to loss of memory, melancholy, spasms, epilepsy, and frequent ly insanity.
 When the brain nerves are weakened they are unable to supply sufficient nerve force to the nerves that control the lungs, heart, stomach and other organs, and these organs are thus robbed of energy, and unable to meet the demands upon them, and they get sick. Stop the head pains with Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, and the influence upon your general health will be greater than you can realize.
 T want to tell you how thankful I am for pr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. From a child I have been subject to sick headache and never found any lasting relief until received sample of Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills while in Geneva six years ago. By taking one it usually throws off my pain, so can go about my home, duties"

TALE OF A
SILVER WATCH

\ silver watch hung for thirty days
from a nail in front of the Merchants
hotel and thousands of people as they
passed saw the time piece which could
have been theirs for the taking if they
had been dishonest
The watch was not an expensive one.
But it could have been "hoeked'' for a
dollar or two. IL was the principle of
the people that was at stake and it
came out distinctly n winner. There
are some people in the camp, as there
must be everywhere, who would have
grabbed the ticker, but they happened
not TO see it.
The moral of it all is that the people
of Tonopah are distinctly honest.
Hang it up in moral Carson, religious
Reno or chureh-going Wirnemucca,
the time piece would have lasted long
enough TO settle the fight between six
men, each ofwhom would have claim
cd to have seen il first.-Tonopah sun.
