Last Saturday as several boys o.
Chapman were skating on the ice or
the river near town Elmer Humphrey,
a boy 10 years Of age, son Of L. E.
and @. L. Humphrey, fell through an
air hole in the ice where the water
was very deep and but for heroic and
prompt efforts Of Frank Phillips 81
mer would no doubt have been drawn
under the ice and drowned. Frank
stretched himself upon the ice, reached
out his hand to little Elmer who was
struggling to save himself and caught
his hand and with such help the boy
was saved. This is q warning to
other boys,as the Smoky is a treach-
erous stream. 4 Chapman Advertiser.

! We heard a man say the other
morning that the abbreviation for
February Feb. Freeze every
body, and that man looked frozen In
his ulster. 1t was apparent that he
needed the kind Of warmth that stays,
the warmth that reaches from head to
foot, all over the body. We could
have told him from personal know
ledge that Hoods Sarsaparilla gives
permanent warmth, it invigorates the
blood and speeds it along through
artery and vein, and really fits men
and women, boys and girls, to enjoy
cold weather and resist the attacts OF
diseases. 1t gives the right kind Of
warmth, stimulates and strengthens
at the same time, and all it's benefits
are lasting. There may be sugges'
ton in this for you.

John D. Jr
Given to General Education Board and
Is Largest Amount Ever offered x
for Such Purpose.

New York, Feb .S.-Thirty-two mil
lions of dollars worth Of income
bearing securities was the gift which
John D. Rockefeller, through his son,

assembled for a special meeting here

entity was not prepared for this gift,

letter from John D. Rockefeller. jr.,
to the obard, in which he said:
my father authorized me to say
that on or before April /, 1907, he will
give to the general board income-bear-
ing securities the present market value

MEnIcINE WAGON TAx
Likely That Legislature WIN Pass
Some Kind Of Law.

0uhuC Ahuu Va A1We
When the Kansas legislature took
up the taxing Of medicine wagons Il
struck hardest at one MANA. b.
Seelye Of Abilene. He has fifty
wagons traversiDg the territory 81
Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and
Northern Texas.
Mr.. Seelye commenced business
here in 1890, coming from Ann Arbor.
He cherishes an old memorandum
book in which he kept his accounts
In thoseidays. On the, first page Is
the record Of the first days work -
sales amounting to $500, Of which he
collected so cents in cash. Many
days thereafter he did no better and
the first year was one Of only moder-
ate success. The medicines were
made in the kitchen Of his fathers
home in TIE north part Of town and
on foot peddled through the town and
nearby country.
In 1898 be built a two-room "lab-
oratory." This little cabin-like struc-
ture stands in the rear Of his $4,000
dwelling, just to the side OF the
porte cochere, reminder Of the
change in his fortunes.
About this time he began the medi-
cine wagon method OF selling. He
found that the farmers like to have
the medicine brought to their doors
aud by making repeated trips over
the same routes he was able to trust
the buyers and collect when they were
able to pay.
He has purchased lots and expects
to erect four-story laboratory in a
central location oftown. He has been
figuring on building a new hotel for
Abilene Just opposite the Union Pa
cifc depot He owns big section Of
a gold mine out in Arizona, Is direc-
tor in another mining enterprise In
Colorado and has other investments.
All this he has made out Of medicines
sold from wagons in Kansas and adj
joining states. Y
1t is not likely that the Legislature
will put as heavy tax on him as was
at first intended but some law may be
passed. No one else in the state does
business enough OF this kind to count.

It's pleasure to tell our readers
about cough cure like DR.. Shops.
For years DIR Shoop has fought
against the use of Opium, Chloroform
or other safe ingredients commonly
found in Cough remedies. DR.. Sboop,
it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food
and Drug Law recently enacted, for
he has worked along similar lines
many years. For nearly 20 years DR..
Shoop's Cough Cure containers have
had warning printed on them
against Opium and other narcotic
poisons. He has thus made It posi-
