HERMIT FouRscoRE YEARS.

Never Was Thirty Miles Away from
Place Of His Birth.
That man could live for eighty-one
years almost as hermit In the midst
of civilization and the environment Of
twentieth century life Is illustrated In
the case Of Samuel Carter Of Williams
burg, Ohio, who died in his native town
few weeks ago.
Born In 1925, he spent his whole life
in Williamsburg and never even visited
the town of Batavia. which Is only
seven miles distant. Nor did he ever
traverse the twenty-elght miles between
his birthplace and Cincinnati. More
than that, he never set eyes on the
muddy waters of the Ohio. He couldn't
have described steamboat for a mil
lion dollars in gold-for he never saw
one!
When the old stage coaches gave way
to the steam engine he stared in won
| derment at the coughing iron monsters
rushing through the town at forty miles
an hour. But that was all-he was
content to look. Never in all his long
life did he ride on a railroad train!
He was a contented, happy man,
pleasant and a1fable to all who knew
him. But he preferred his own COM
pany and. the companionship of his
wife to visiting his neighbors. He
never attended parties. picnics. county
fairs or political meetings. Occasion
ally he spent few moments in CONVEX
sation at the grocery store and once in
a while he attended church when the
preacher was a native or former resi-
dent of Williamsburg.
As for funerals, only those Of his
kith and kin interested him. But at
woodchopping, house and barn raising,
harvesting and thrashing he was an in
terested participant and worked with a
will.
His clothes, butternut or indigo blue
! in color, were homespun and woven on
etables, sheared his own fleece and
wore it
His keenest delights in life were
hunting and fishing. The east fork OF
| the Little Miami was but a short dis
lance from his cottage. 1t is a crooked
little stream that surrounds all Of Will
liamsburg, both the living and the dead
cemetery. mill. church and stores. The
| little river is like mammoth horseshoe
placed around the town and Samuel
Carriers house was at the heel Of the
shoe half way between the forks. He
would start out in the morning and
| fish all day for miles along the stream
and around the town. He was born
on a crooked river, but lived straight
man, only going crooked when he f1shed
along the crooked east fork.
And 80 Samuel Carter lived and died
an exponent Of the simple life. With
his rod and gun, his wife and his home
he passed his allotted time.
Within a few miles of his home the
world rushed by and he-he was not
even curious to see what 1t looked like

AMERICANS AS SOLDIERS.

They Developed Great Skill in the
Clash with spain.
Several American army officers were
discussing the relative merits and de-
merits Of the soldiers of the world the
other evening, when the little Japanese
fighting man was brought into the lime
light Of their talk, says the Washington
Star.
"He Is a wonderful little fighter"
said one. land some Of the reasons for
his success in battle are plain to me.
He is brave to fauil, and being ia
talist does not 60 into the fighting
zone trembling in his boots and as
nervous as fdgety woman, as many
soldiers do. He is, too, like the Ameri-
can soldier, an individual fighter and
not a machine, and for this reason, Ii
for no other, 1t was easy for him to
score victory after victory over the
bulky, clumsy Russians, whose move
ments in battle, when not in 4 STAIN
pede, were like those Of some great
cumbersome machine
'The Russians fought bravely
enough" said another, but under
great disadvantage. Their training and
their tactics were against them and
they could not Withstand the fighting
Of the athletic and tireless little Japs.' ;,
A tall, gray veteran who left one Of
his arms on the bloody field Of Ante
tam, and who had been listening to the
younger and more up-to-data officers,
finally said:
well, gentlemen, you may talk
about the Japs and the Beers and other
soldiers Of the old countries, but our
American boys in the little-big war we
had with Spain gave the world several
salutary object lessons In fighting.
Their forthwithness and their PUSHES
were revelations to the old-world sol
diers. Their individual fighting was
admirable and was afterward copied
by both the Beers and the Japs. In
forr.ar wars we had heard of the COM
mand frequently given, Fire ana tan
back, In the campaign In Cuba and
the Philippines it was with the Ameri-
can fighters always Fire and forward.
Had the war with Spain continued ana
other countries been involved In it our
fellows In khaki and blue would have
fought battles that would have made
Mukden look like thirty old-fashioned
. copper pennies"

Cascarets are the simplest and surest

Sold in a thin Enamel Box, half a

In this round edged Enamel Box are
found six small Candy Tablets.
One Of these toothsome tablets works
wonders for digestion.
Soon as placed in the mouth It starts
the Saliva flowing, which at once gets to
work dissolving it.
The Saliva becomes blended with the
Candy Cascaret tablet. and from the
moment they start going down your
throat together they start working to-
gether.

The leader was firm In his loving de-
mand. "You must CO." he said.
Going down the aisle, he dropped
into the seat of the young man, put
his arm over his shoulder, and, in a
half-sobbing tone, said: II have been

The National Convention of Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs has just
been held in St. Paul, MINI.
Miss Josephine Casey and Miss
Agnes hester, both representing la
Dor unions, made strong pleas for the
introduction Of trade guilds among
women, in order to raise the standard
and pay of work, and meet the compe.
tition of unions among men.
Miss Casey's strong remarks stirred
the wrath of some of the club women
made desperate by the servant girl
problem. A party headed by Mrs.
w. B. Chivris, of st. Lous, made a
charge on the speaker, declaring the
working girls salvation was in going
back to the kitchen, which was yawn-
ing for her.
"Why not come into our homes,
where you can get good wages and
comfortable surroundings"
Miss Casey created a sensation by
declaring that she was opposed to
young girls keeping the homes of wo-
men too lazy to keep themselves, and
besides, she said, the girls did not
have time to hunt for servants
places even if they wanted them.
A crowd of Illinois society leaders
surrounded Miss Casey and swept her
away, and closed the incident.
A stir was created by Mrs. Cooley
