tins method. Tell him TO think of anv num-
ber as IS, multiply It by (4o); add CD;
multiply by (235); add (a4o); multiply

the result; strike of the two last figures; and
obtain 2S.
A variation Of this is seen in the following
method OF telling when a persons birthday

Der OF the month in which he was born, say
January (I); multiply It by ~, add q;
multiply by 50 $50; add the dav OF birth

SHOTGUN AND PISTOL.
Two Montgomery County Men Fight
 and One Was Wounded.

Parties in town Tuesday from near Hathaway postoffice in Montgomery county, report that a shooting scrape took place be- tween two men named Dozier and Rumpton at that place last Fri day night, the weapons used be- ing shotgun and a six-shooter.
 From the best information ob- tainable 1t seems that the two men had had trouble over homo . stead claim. Rumpton, accord ing to reports, went to the home of Dozier Friday night aud called him out, stating that he wanted to discuss the matter with hiu. Dozier complied with his request and went out aud shortly after wards the men were engaged in a fight, Rumpton attempting to shoot Dozier. The latter was too quick for him, and knocking up the weapon of his antagonist he drew his pistol and shot Rump- ton, inflicting a bad wound in his left side.

How few people there are who are not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a harmless little garter snake fell on the wheel ot an automobile which was being driven by a woman. The woman promptly fainted and the car, lett to it's own resources, ran into a stone wall and caused a serious accident.
 The bite of a poisonous snake needs prompt attention. Mrs. K. M. Fishel, Route No l, Box 4o, Dillsburg, Pa, tells how she saved her life when bitten by a

DO NOT WANT FEDERAL PENSIONS
Commander of United Confederate
 Veterans Sends Protest.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. With reference to the bill which Cap tain Richmond Pearson Hobson. congressman from Alabama, aud hero of the Merrimac, proposes to introduce in congress asking tor an appropriation for pension. ing Confederate soldiers, General Stephen D. Lee, commander of the United Confederate Veterans, has written Captain Hobson, vigorously but courteously, pro testing against the presentation of the bill, which would not, he says, represent the wishes of the surviving Confederates, and while serving no useful purpose, would do possible harm.
 He pointed out to Mir. Hobson that most, if not all, the Southern states have provisions for pen sioning the Confederate soldiers; that most of the local chapters of the United Confederate Veterans are prepared for and do look after the actual needs of their depend end members; that there appears to be no necessity for the intro duction or passage of the bill, and the discussions that would probably follow 1t would be cal culated 10 open up old wounds "now happily healed" as it has been expressed.

VIM. J. BRYAN
 TO VISIT MENA
The Noted Man Remembers An Old Promise to Speak in This City and Announces He Will Be
 Here on January 4.

Mena will have the honor of a visit from William J. Bryan soon.
 Since President Roosevelt has spoken in terms so positive as to make 1t apparent that he will not again be a candidate for the presidential nomination the be- lief has been expressed by many of the friends of Mir. Bryan that he will be onr next president.
 It may be long time before Mena has the honor of entertain. ing real president, but we will have chance to have with us almost president and surely one of the greatest men of the couu- try.
 Some two or three years ago Mir. Bryan made promise to the late A. w. St. John to visit Mena and deliver an address for the benefit of the public library which the ladies of Mena were endeavor- ing to establish at that time. Circumstances in this busy mans life prevented the iulfillment of the promise, until Monday letter was received from Mri Bryant who is now at his home at Lincoln, Neb., in which he states that he has not forgotten Mena ald if desirable he thinks he can speak here the Sd or 4th of January. MT. Bryan's offer was promptly accepted by wire and the following reply was re- cieved from him Tuesday:
 Will lecture at Mena Satur- day night, January 4.
 "Signed w. J. Bryan"
 As was stated in Associated Press news ln The Star Satur- day, MT. Bryan will deliver an address to the members of the Oklahoma legislature December 21. MT. Bryan will leave Lincoln next week and will stop at Guthrie on his way to Texas. In the latter state he will spend three or four days with friends. Then he will continue his trip in the South, coming to Mena Janu- ary 4, aud expecting to return to Lincoln, Neb., about January 10.
 In connection with the coming of MT. Bryan there is also some talk that the candidates for gov eruor of this state are coming to Mena at the same time, in which case they will speak in the after noon proceeding the address of MT. Bryan, which will be at night.
 Invitations have been sent to the several candidates for govern or in the name of the Commercial Club, to speak in Mena on that date.
 Since his promise was first made Mena's public library has grown beyond the need of great help. It is out of debt aud in flourishing condition. There is matter of public interest, how ever, which needs financial as- sistauce. Since the change in the site for the Railway Hospital was made, Sl, 500 must be raised to purchase the site and it has been suggested by number of business men that Mir. Bryan should speak under the auspices of the Commercial Club for the benefit of the fund to be used in pa yiug for this hospital site.
 There is probably no man, save possibly President Roosevelt, around whom more interest IS centered, so far as the masses of the people are concerned, than William Jennings Bryan, and 1t will be a great day when he speaks in Mena.
 A reply to the message sent MT. Bryan will be expected in a day or two defnately arranging the date he will be here and then the Commercial Club will proba- ply take up the matter and ar 1oE-..o1, fnr L,c co.f1,t,n
