why suffer From rheumatism,

Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application of Chamberlain'S Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The quick
relief which this liniment affords makes
rest and sleep possible, and that alone
is worth many times its cost. Many
who have used it hoping only for a
short relief from suffering have been
happily surprised to find that after
awhile the relief became permanent.
Mrs v. HI. Leggett of Yum Yum, Tenn
essee, u. S. A., writes: 81 am great

Pain Balm is the only thing that will

THE PATH THE CALF MADE.



one DAY through ire prlmeyal wood
a calf walked home. rs good calves
should.
Hut made tran an bent askeW,
crooked tran as ali calves do.
Since thea two hundred years have
He'd.
And. inter, the calf IS dead.
But siill he left behlnd his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale
The trail was takcn ap next day
BY q lone dog that passed that way;
And then wise belI-wpther sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep.
And drew the flock behind him. too,
Asgood bell-wethers alwnys do
And from that day, DER Hill and glade
Thr0' ihnse old woods a path was made;
And many men wound in and out.
And lodged and turned and bent about
And uttered words Of righteous wrath
Because Il was such a.crooked path.
But still they followed do mot laugh
The MISCONCEPTIONS Of that calf.
And thro' this Winding woodway slaiked
Because he wobbled when ne walked.
This forest path became lane,
That bent and, turned. and turned again;
This crooked lane became road,
Where many poor horse with a load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun.
And travelled some three miles meme,
And thus. century and half
..,a Az, kts.t .,.sIR
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road becam a village street;
And this before they were aware,
A clty's crowded thoroughbred
And soon the central street was this
OF renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half
Trod In the footsteps Of that calf.
Each day hundred thousand Tout
Followed the zlg-zag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed stilI his crooked way
And lost one hundred years a day;
For some such reverence is lent
To well-established precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach.
Were ordained and called to preach;
For men are prone togo it blind
Along the calf paths Of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They follow In the beaten track;
And in, and out, and forth. and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the paths that others do.
But how the wise old wood gods laugh
Who saw the first primeVal calf
Ah!many things this tale might teach,
But am not ordained to preach.

Telephone Troubles.

| There is one corporation that has
cinch on Brookfeld, in fact the towr
is Hyde bound. We refer to the
Western telephone company. This
company owns the system at Brook
field, Marceline and Linneus and has
not been giving satisfaction, especi.
ally in regard to exchange with Other
systems in the county and with the
country lines. Conditions demanded
that the people be accorded better
treatment and to meet this demand
a home company was organized al
Brookfeld to put in a new system
Every since this new company was
organized Superintendent Hyde, of
the old company, has been playing
the role of good fellow with men,
bers of the city council and others
whom he thought could aid him in
maintaining his monopoly and per-
petuating his arbitrary methods. His
work has been effective. At a meet
ing of the city council one night last
week the new company asked for a
franchise to construct and operate a
telephone system in Brookfeld. A
motion was made for the mayor to
appoint committee of five to confer
with the representatives of the new
company as to the conditions on
which the frachise was to be granted.
Before the motion could be acted up
on. member of the council moved
that Superintendent Hyde, of the old
company be authorized to act with
the committee, and the motion carried.
Thus it is to be left to the old com.
pany whether the new company is
permitted to do business in Brookfeld.
If the people stand this kind Of deal
they have no further room to COM
plain of the service the old company
is giving them. Sentiment throughout
the country districts is very strong
against the Brookfeld central.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY POPULAR.
Thirty.Two thousand Routes Now in Opera.
ton and 1850 Petitions are Pending.

Some idea of the vast extent and
great popularity of the rural free de-
livery branch of the postal service
can be had from the statement that
32,058 rural routes were in operation
on July 1. This is an increase Of
1892 since June 80, 1904.
y Of a grand total of 4S,072 petitions
for service filed with Post Office De.
partment 11,415 have been denied;
1859 petitions are now pending IN the
department, of which 933 already
have been assigned for establishment,
leaving 1866 applications unacted
upon.
Missouri leads the southwestern
states in the number Of routes in oper-
alton, being credited with 1914, an
increase of 369 routes since June 80
of last year; 2,237 petitions for rural
service in Missouri have been filed,
on 800 of which the post-ofice inspec-
tors submitted adverse reports for
various causes; 233 applications are
now pending.
Kansas, with l ,463 routes in oper-
alton and ia petitions pending, takes
second place. Of the 2,O30 petitions
for the establishment of the service in
the sunfower state 443 were rejected
upon the recommendation of the in
spectors.
Texas, one uf the last states to take
seriously to the rural free delivery
idea, now has in operation 1920 routes
an increase of 603 since June 80 last;
2,241 petitions have come in from the
Lone Star commonwealth. of which
518 were denied and 303 are still
unacted upon.
On July l, 1913 routes were being
operated in Arkansasand 122 petitions
for service were unacted upon. The
Rajority of these will probably re-
eive favorable action when they are
kken up. as will majority of the
knding petitions from the other south
@estern states.
n Oklahoma now has 532 routes in
operation and sixty-nine petitions on

FOUND HIS DAUGHTER IN IOWA.
Rev. Shane Having Strenuous Time With
His Divorced Wife at Des Mones.

When Rev. w. R. Shane, of Brook
field, was given a divorce from his
wife in the Linn county circuit court
year ago last May, he was awarded
the custody of their nine year old
daughter. Instead of giving up the
child, Mrs. Shane went to Kansas
City, taking the little girl with her.
Mr.. Shane followed them to Kansas
City and secured writ of habeas cor
pus in the circuit court for the posses
sion of the daughter.
The divorced wife e1uded the offic-
ers and fled with the child and their
whereabouts have been unknown to
Mr.. Shane until last week, when he
learned that they were in Des Moines,
Iowa.
He went to Des Moines and found
them living under the name of Wood
son. When he approached the front
door of the house the girl was slipped
out the back door and hid away.
He at once began habeas corpus
proceedings and during the prepara-
tion of the papers Mrs. Shane sought
and was granted an interview with
Mr.. Shane, during which she claimed
that he threatened to kill her if she
did not give up the child. On this
ground she swore out a warrant and
had him arrested. promptly gave
bond in the sum of $400 and was re-
leased. At last accounts the case
against him had been continued,
