1t is being argued by some who
would like 20 remove the county
seat to the woods in the center of
the county that by putting it there
it would draw a railroad after it.
This does not work out in practice
however. There are Hillsboro and
CenterviIle, both county seats of
the respective counties in which
they are located ever since the
counties were organized, but
neither has been able to draw a
railroad to it for this reason or
eny other. As for as being in the
center Of the county, Potosi only
misses it on an east and west line
few miles, which is near enough
for all practical purposes. Don't
vote against the bond proposition
on any such untenabie grounds.

INDIAN OF MEXICO DoCILE~

Essentially q Man of Peace, He
Wants TO Be Let Alone.
The simple minded, patient, docile
Indian of Mexico, IS eminently peace
full. Bountiful nature and perpetua1
summer combine to palliate his i'm
providence. He cannot see the ne
cessity of laying up anything for a
rainy day. 1t rains half the days in
Mexico anyhow, but that only makes
the mangoes grow larger and cheaper
If he has no tortillaS to-day some of his
neighbors have, and they will gladly
share, for conditions may be reversed
tomorrow.
These Mexican Indians make the best
and the poorest servants in the world.
Their greatest charm from this stand
point is their perfect appreciation Of
their position. Always polite, never
presuming, with hat in hand, it is al
ways your servant" and with your
permission" In the household they
ask a half holiday once a fortnight
with never a word Of complaint when
working hours last from daylight to
midnight.
The Mexican Indian does not want
to fight. All he asks is to be let
alone. His pOliteness and affectionata.

dren is particularly marked. 1t is

INNOCENT VICTIMS OF LAW.

Hanging and Suicides Result from
Untrue CircumstantiaI Evidence.
What will undoubtedly 60 into the
books as a classic instance of the ma
lignant significance which even the SIM
plest, most natural actions may as
sumo when viewed in relation to
crime and search for the perpetrator
in which the only reliance is circum-
stantial evidence is that reported from
Nordburg in Prussian Schleswig.
August Deppe was a clergyman's son
who was troubled with insomnia and
it was his custom to take long walks
at night. One night young girl was
strangled in the town and Augustus alb
sence from his own home about the
time the murder must have been COM
mitted, together with localities in
which he had been seen, directed suspi-
ciOn in his direction. Having been
placed under arrest, the police of
course were successful IL discovering
divers other circumstances pointing to
his guilt and he was convicted and
hanged.
1t would seem that fate would have
rested content after having been in
strumental in occasioning so frightful
a blunder, but 1t was only the begin

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OFF HIS MIND.
ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Something was always the matter
with Mr.. Jordan. When he was not
suffering from excruciating pains in his
back or chest, or grooming with an at
tack of indigestion, he was threatened
with inflammatory rheumatism, appen-
dicitis, or something equally terrible,
He could talk by the hour about his
miseries, and frequently did.
II know what will cure you of all
these ailments you have been telling
me about" said his friend. DR.. Sim
mons to him one day; ''but it wouldn't
do any good to recommend it to you.''
"I'll promise to do anything you sug-
gest," vowed Mr.. Jordan, eff it's some
thing that isn't beyond my powers"
II will answer for that. You go to
the big brickyard just outside of town.
Tell the superintendent 1 sent you
there, and that 1 want him to give
you a job among the boys who lift the
soft clay bricks from the moving plat
form or belt, just as they come from
the machine, and place them in the
racks. It's lively work, but there is
something in the atmosphere of fresh
clay, or in the handling of it, perhaps,
that's just what you need. Take what
ever he offers you, If it's only dollar
q day."
"I'lI do it,"
1t was several weeks before Dr. Sim
mons saw him again.
Hello, Jordan!" he said, when he
met him. "You haven't told me any
thing about your ailments lately"
"My ailnents!" exclaimed the other.
"Good land! Do you know what kind
of job that brick-jerking is? I haven't
had time to talk about my ailments,
or even think of them, for a whole
month, and every last one Of 'em has
left me-"
81 thought so. You may quit now.

a man Of many millions, who is
known also as a practical and generous
phiIanthropist, appeared recently in
New York police court to defend his
chauffeur, who had been arrested for
fast driving. In the course Of the trial
the judge remarked to the millionaire:
Il am afraid you men Of ease and lux
ury care too little for the rights and
comfort Of the poor" Il hope that is
not true in my own case," replied the
philanthropist I'm the first place,
am not a man of ease and luxury /
work every day-work as hard as any
one in the city; and whenever 1 see
a chance to relieve the suffering l do
it" 81 think you do" the judge ad-
mitted ''but there are many things
IN plain sight which the rich do not
see. Let me make suggestion to you:
induce your fellow members of the
Automobile Club of America to set
aside one day in the week on which
they will place their cars at the SER
vice Of the hospitals, so that the inval-
Ids and convalescents may have ride
In the park" 81 will put my auto at
the service Of any invalid you name to-
morrow morning" was the prompt an
swer, "and I'll bring the matter before
the club. I cannot tell what they will
do, but my machine will always be at
the disposal of any invalid who wants
it," 1t was an unusual and an inter-
estIng colloQuy. There is much unjust
assumption that rich men are idle and
devoted only to pleasure. There is also
much justice In the judges statement
that many OF them do not seem to see
things that are plain to other people.
The art Of usefulness IN the world is
not merely having the power and the
inclination to do, but the ability to see
opportunities to do-and this applies
as well to those Of moderate, even Of
limited, means as to the wealthy.

Better than Weather Man.

A storekeeper on South Broadway
has piece Of stone about as large as
a mans fist in which he places more
confidence as a weather indicator than
he does In all the weather bureaus of
the country. He brought it with him
from Germany when he came to ST.
Louis. many years ago, and although his
German neighbors told him that the
stone would not work In America he
finds that it operates about as we'll In
Missouri as It did In the OLD country.
He says there Is a mine Of 1t In Sax

and that in parts Of both countries,
near to the mines, many country peo-
pie provide themselves with Jumps Of

as soft as chalk, with inter, clay and

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
a NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY Oh. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, FED
BlcoG and Performs Wonders as a
Ionic for the Nerves.

The Medicine That Makes Rich, FED
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
It explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
It is because Of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part Of the work of the
body. DIR. Williams Pink Pills mako
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.
Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty
avenue, South MedfOrd, Mass, says:
st had never been well from child
hood and a few years ago I began to
have dizzy spells. At such times could
not walk straight. I was afraid Of
paralysis and was on the verge Of
nervous prostration. Then neuralgia.
set in and affected the side Of my face.
The pains in ny forehead were excru~
chatting and my heart panied me SO that
my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart.
tried several different kinds Of treat
ment but they did me no good.
Zone day my son brought me some Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and I found
that they strengthened my nerves. I
took several boxes and felt better in
every way. There were no more dizzy
attacks, the neuralgia left me and have
been well woman ever since"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in anannia, rheumatism, after effects of
the grip and fevers and in sick head
aches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even
partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
