Economy in
Feeding Stock.

Every stockman of course knows
that some animals, just as some men,
eat twice as much as others without
any corresponding increase in weight
or energy. The difference is largely
a matter of assimilation.
One animal gets the benefit of all
its food, the other of half of 1t.
With stock this is an important
matter. See that your horses and
cattle digest and assimilate perfectly
all that they eat. You will save
feed and money by 1t. The way to
insure this is to feed our Tonic Con
dition powder, prescribed by DIR.
Keefer, once n veterinary in the
White River valley.
This Tonic has been in use for
years by many of the stockmen
has proven valuable Condition
powder to tone up all the organs and
aid digestion. Price soc per pound.

A Photographic Warning.

The following story of a young lady
living in the country who came TO
London 10 be photographed is told by
NJ. A. P. and vouched for by a well
known London photographer. After
some days the lady, Miss B., was
Informed the photograph was not a
success, and another sitting was sug.
gested. This she agreed to, but again
was informed that the photograph was
a failure. There was a third sitting.
In two days time she received an
urgent letter from the photographer
asking her to come up to his studio
and to bring a friend with her. Miss
3. went, accompanied by her mother,
and was shown the amazing results of
the three slttings. The pictures Of the
girl herself were quite good, but in
each plate there was to be seen stand
, ing behind her the figure of a man
holding a dagger in his uplifted hand
The features, though faint, were clear
" discernible, and Miss B. recognized
them as those of her fiancee, an officer
in the Indian army. The effect of this
experience was so great that after a
few days she wrote out to India, break
ing off the engagement.

on our Selma tickets when Lieut..
Hawthorn told US he had tickets for
ten men. and could put us through. We
were included in the number. Next
morning we rolled into Mobile AMI

and obtained transportation to Blake

Carpenters Station, where we secur-
ed a push" car, and as there were
four of us we arranged for two to
push while the other two rode, and so
we travelled all night. About day
light we reached Canoe Station and
were royalty treated by Andrew Hall
to a breakfast of milk and honey and
fresh butter.
After resting a short time we start
ed for Brewton, and well do I remem-
Der the trouble l had to keep up with
Geo. and 'SPhil' Tippins. About sun
down turned off and stayed all night
with Martin Franklin, but the Tip

night. Next morning l had the luck

Louis Napoleon Answered.

Lady BlessingtOn did not always
meet with gratitude from some whose
position at last enabled them to serve
her. She sheltered in her London home
Louis Napoleon after he had escaped
from his prison IN Ham. After Louis
Napoleon became president Of the
French republic he seems to have
turned the cold shoulder on Lady
Blessington and Count D'Orsay when
they approached him in Paris. There
was a story going at the time, for the
accuracy of which we certainly will
not vOuch, but which appeared in sew
eral of the London papers. Shortly be-
fore Lady Blessington's death she met,
so the story goes, the president driving
in the Champs Elysees. He stopped
his carriage, she stopped hers, and they
conversed for a few minutes. His
manner seemed to her determinedly
chilly. "Do you stay long in Parish
