A hundred years ago the eyes of
America were on the southwest We

perts ferry below the Mussel shoals,
ana, striking the hills back Of the Big
Black, came down to Natchez and on
TO New Orleans, with a branch to the
Walnut hills. The road was more
than a military necessity, for so many
pirates infested the Mississippi that
merchants returning from New Or
leans needed a safer route home with
their money.
After 1t was opened it became all

CONVERT TAKEN AT HIS WORD
Man Evidently Thought Much Restitu-
ton Was Due

One Sunday evening many winters
ago, during revival meeting in a
church in Bangor, Me-, certain citi.
zen who was we'll known as a hard bar
gamer, and against whom many had
grievances, was evidently touched by
the spirit of the meeting, for he arose
and told of his regrets as to his sinful
and selfish life, saying that he was re-
solved to deal justly and live upright
ly, and, if there was any one within
the sound of his voice who felt that he
had wronged him and would come to-
his home the next day he would make
restitution.
The next morning about 1 O'Clock
the midnight quiet of his neighborhood
was broken by very loud knocking
on his front door, and a voice which
showed much Impotence asked, Hal
10, you, down there! Who are you?
What do you want?" To which the
voice of a well-known joker replied:
It's me-Jim Brown. l was down to
the church tonight and heard what
you said about paying back what you
had got by cheating, so as | wanted to
be sure to get my share I thought l
would come around early and get
ahead Of the crowd"

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton, KY, Oct 3Oth.-(Special.)
1t has long been claimed that I)ia-
betes is incurable, but Mr. e. J.
Thompson, teacher in the Hinton
school, has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
ties. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In a statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
II was troubled with my kidnevs
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
| had Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then l started to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what thew
did for me was wonderful. 1t is en-.
tlrely owing to Dodds Kidney Pills
that ! am now enjoying good health
Many doctors still maintain that Di.
abetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.

Busy Women of Shetland.

The women of Shetland are great
knitters. They learn the art in early
childhood and continue it all through
their lives. The wool used for their
knitting is grown on the islands and is
carded and spun by the people them
selves. The manner in which the
washing of knit shawls is accom-
plished in Shetland is a matter of in
terest to most visitors. They are
washed carefully in soap lather and
then, to prevent their shrinking, they
are laced from point to point of the
scalloped border in large square
wooden frame and placed outside the
cottage to dry.

that he had seen pair of fiery eyes

Investigation with the aid of n lamp
revealed black cat, which had taken
up position between the engine and
tender. The cat was invited to come
forth, but declined to move. A cleaner
went beneath the engine and made
an attack upon the position, but the
cat had the advantage of higher
ground and replied with such good
effect that the cleaner retired In con-
fusion.
An attack by porters with mops was
easily beaten Off. The driver blew his
whistle and let or steam, but without
effect Even the tempting lure of a
saucerful of milk was treated with
scorn.
