drowning Of her child in the well
and the mysterious rapping that had
annoyed the household for months.
By the time she had told her sto-
ry the other woman was up and
dressed. The spirits were called
upon and the raps responded, COM
ing from above The second wo-
man then came downstairs and went
to the kitchen, whence the raps en-
anated until she was surrounded by
the crowd.
After one person had taken hold
of her feet and another held her
hands the spirits refused to respond.
The woman then admitted that
the whole thing had been hoax.
The mysterious rapping had been
the work of confederates. The
pump handle which moved up and
down was caused to do so by an in
genious mechanical device. Various
other tricks had been resorted to.
The women who are both old, ad-
mitted that they had made consid-
cradle sum of money by asking each
of the many investigators for a
quarter before they would allow
them in the house.

Rest is the great restorer. We
tire our muscles by exercise and
then rest to restore them; yet a
great many of lis do not stop to
think how little rest we give to our
stomaehs. As usual thing no
part Of our bodies is so generally
overworked as our digestive organs.
A tired and overworked stomach
will give signs Of distress to which
we pay no heed until at last Dys-
pepsia takes hold. Indigestion is
just a warning, and if we heed the
warning we can easily avoid further
consequences. KODOL is a most
thorough stomach relief. 1t di.
gests what you eat and gives the
stomach the needed rest and greatly
assists in restoring it to its norma
activity and usefulness. KODOI

Gentle Robber" by Margaret Sher.

Gentle Robber" by Margaret Sher-
wood we find an absorbing allegory
OF certain aspects Of modern life
shown in the guise of the middle
ages. The Little Widow" by Mrs.
Wilson Woodrow, is a spirited COM
edy Of her well known mountain
community Zenith "The En-
trance of Ezekiel by Lucy Pratt is
a tale Of an amusing black boy who
tells make believe stories. "The
gate of Seven Hundred Virgins" tells
OF a resurrected legend and a modern
episode of the Quitting of a fill
clustering expedition with which
three United States" tourists had
an adventure. Edward S. Ellsworth
gives us in "The Elemental" story
of crude manhood that often exists
under the rags and tatters of adver.
sity;
"One Way of Peace" by Paul
Hester and 1.-THE Road at Night" by
William Lucius Graves are thought
full and distinctive poems.

America--waster and spendthrift

Undoubtedly the richest and most
prosperous nation of the world, the
United States, is perhaps the most
wasteful. The tracts of timber and
coal lands which are destroyed with
little thought for the morrow, the
unneedful waste of rare minerals and
the slaughter of the fast dying out
species of American game points
out that in the scramble for gold we
are not thinking Of the United States
of tomorrow. American housewives
are not less wasteful than their lords
and masters. The good. nourishing
food thrown away by the housewives
OF America in one day would be
enough to save half the lives of the
starving ones in China or in Russia.
The New England farmers and
housewives are much more economi-
cal and saving than their brothers
or sisters of the middle west and
western states. The Kansas farmer
turns out an abundance of wheat,
even more, sometimes. than the
railroads can carry. But if you
have ever walked along a Kansas
country road during the season when
the golden wheat is being carted to
the railroad and grain elevator you
will be surprised to see the little
drifts of wheat on the roadside which
has joggled off the farmers bursting
wagons. And if you have ever
watched work in the big apple belts
of Illinois and Michigan you will
wonder if some of those culls, tho
majority of which are fed to the
hogs or actually thrown away, would
not taste just as good to the hungry
little tenement child in the city as
would the others that are shipped.
John Elmore, n poor cobbler of
Altoona, Pa, has sprinkled a fluid
made from common salt, oxalic acid
and water over common ashes and
made fuel which is even better
than coal. John Gilmore is a great
er philanthropist than John D. Rock
efeller and has done more for hui
manity than Andrew Carnegie has
or ever will do. His recipe, which
will soon be used by many an Amer
lean housewife, will cause the worlds
supply of coal to last four times
longer than it would were his dis
covery not made.
We should all quit throwing away
things. Be saving because it is
your duty to save. Save time as
well as money. Turn your thoughts
into an inventive mood and think if
there is not something you can do
for humanity, such as John Elmore
has done, not for money, but for
humanity's sake.

Old Lover Stops Wedding.

Frank Bachelor, who mysterious
ly disappeared from the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. johnson Bach
elder, in Harding county, N. OAK,
twelve years ago and who was long
believed to be dead, returned to his
home a few days ago just in time to
carry off Miss Katherine Claussen,
the sweetheart of his youth, and
prevent her marriage to Edward
Pritchett.
Invitations to Miss Claussen's
marriage to Pritchett had been is
sued by her parents, theyoung lady's
trousseau was ready and all prepar-
atoms for the celebration of the nup-
tials had been made. The wedding
was to take place at 8 o'clock
Thursday evening at the home of
the brides parents.
But Wednesday morning Bach
elder appeared on the scene and as
result the nuptials were not cele-
brated.
After visiting the home of his par
ents and revealing his identity
the young man went to the
home of Miss Claussen, convinced
her that he was her old lover and
begged her to tilt Pritchett and
marry him.
The young woman was overjoyed
to see him again and it was moi
difficult for him to persuade her tc
elope with him.
Without saying word to the
members of her own family or any.
body else of what she intended te
do Miss Claussen packed her we'd
ding gown and other clothing in {
trunk and prepared to run away
with Bachelor. That night Bach
elder called at her home and she
told her family she was going with
him to the home of neighbor tt
make call.
She did not return and her par
ents became uneasy. A messenge
was sent tothe home Of the neighbor
lie returned and reported that sh
had not been there.
Then her mother went to he
room and found a note written b,
Miss Claussen, in which she sal
she was going to run away wit
Bachelor, "the man she had love
and promised to marry when sh
+ was young and the man she stil
loved better than any other in al

Advertising.

Everybody's Magazine recently
contained the following statement
in an article entitled "Autobiog-
raphy of a Business Man"
For a number of years | adver-
tised only in my windows and in
some of the street cars, because l
did not feel that l could afford to
advertise in the daily papers. Two
years ago last September | was hav-
ing cravenette coat sale, and /
succeeded in selling for a couple of
weeks about fifty coats a day. l
thought would try column ad in
one of the evening papers. The re-
suit was that the next day the sales,
which had been about fifty coats a
day, jumped to 142, and in fifty
days ! sold over $500 raincoats.
For the year following that sale
l continued to advertise in this one
paper. Last fall | felt that / could
afford toinvest. say, about $4,000
in advertising in some of the other
papers. | used three morning pa
pers and three evening papers, the
best in Chicago. The results have
been something phenomenal. ]
did not have to invest $4,000. The
profits came back from the news
paper advertising before their bills
came in, and do not figure that /
have dollar invested in advertis-
ing. In my opinion, the only way
to advertise is to give them plain,
common sense talk. Tell them the
truth. Do not get a customer to
come to your store and find that
you have faxed him, for that is poor
advertising, besides being dishon-
esty."

Waterloo Courier: A young man
named Iseminger, from Blackhawk
township. brought the scalps of
nine wolves, one old one and eight
young ones, to the office Of the Coun-
ty Auditor Rainbow yesterday after
noon and received the bounty al
lowed by law, which amounted to
S23. 1t was the mother wolf and
eight cubs, two or three days old.
The mother was a large animal,
grayish in color, and will be called
a timber wolf, although strictly
speaking there are mono such in
iowa. The wolf and her den were
located in the center of 4O-acre
tract, where members of the Ise-
minger family were blowing. The
wolf had been seen several times
and was trailed to her lair. The re-
moval of a few spadefuls of earth re-
vealed the mother wolf and her cubs.
One young man imprisoned the
mother with his spade while the
other went for a shot gun, and it
was not difficult to kill the animals.
