True, and yet only part Of the

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de.
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

THE STORY.

THE king Of Al was naturally cruel
and vindlctive, and since his VIC
tory over the armed force which Is
rael had sent out against his city, he
had given free rein to his passionate
nature. There were men In Al whom
he had ruthlessly slain because In
the panic which followed the news OF
the destruction Of Jericho they had
counseled the surrender OF the city.
urging that this was their only hope.
We cannot stand before their God"
they had said. Let us not fight
against them. but let us 60 out and
plead for mercy in the name of their
God"
Such appeals served only to deep
en- and intensity the hatred OF the
king towards this strange people who
had invaded the land and towards
their God. and following his victorious
return to the city after driving the
army OF Israel before him, he had or.
dered those men who had counseled
surrender to be slain. And the days
which followed had been bloody days
In Al. Relentlessly he searched the
city for any who had shown fear or
who had suggested surrender. and
had them executed In the public
square AZ an example to others in
the city. for said he
al is made weak by their pres.
ence. Death to all who would fear
before Israel or bow down to their
God! Our gods be the true gods!
We will serve them!"
And 30 the days following the de,
feat OF Israel had been bloody feasts
days In Al. for with the killing OF
those who had incurred the kings
displeasure. the whole city had given
itself up to all manner Of excuses.
Such was the state of things when
one evening word was brought to the
king that armed Israelites were seen
to enter the valley below the city
and were making their camp In plain
view OF the city. Immediately this
king went out and from the high tow
er ON the walls at the city's gate hs
watched the little army make its DO
siuon secure for the night.
Some OF his officers counseled tina
they go out at once against them anC
under the cover OF darkness attacl
the camp. but the king with an oatl
forbade. saying:
Nay, for in the darkness they woulc
Zee and many would escape On tn,
morrow early we will surround an,
destroy them None shall escape"
SO 1t was that on the morrow ear
ly the king and all the men OF Al
for every man was eager for opportu
nlty of falling upon the Israelites-
issued forth from the gates and de
scended upon the little army gathered
in the valley below.
We will pursue them to the vor,

FLIGHT.

HAMMONDSPORT,. N. Y. November
GA worlds record in aerial navigation
was broken here yesterday when Glenn
H. Curtiss made successful ascent In a
dirigible airship and remained about four
hours in the air. Mr.. Curtiss made the as
cent to demonstrate certain features of
a special motor to a number of repre- sent
atives of the United States War De-
partment.
The slight wooden car in which reposed
the twin motors, with the steering ap-
paratus and a seat for Mr.. Curtiss, was
suspended from a large gas bag. The
ascent was made by the lift of the gas
bag. aided by the power of the motors
applied to twin propellers.
Curtiss ascended to height Of several
hundred feet before he gave the full
power to the motors and showed the ship
capable of a speed of thirty miles an
hour or even better. At times he de-
scended within easy speaking distance of
the earth, the airship poising itself by
aid Of the propellers. Turning. he as
cended again until the machine was al
most lost to view in the clouds.
The( company who owns the machine is
about to close q contract with the War
Department for the manufacture of a
large number of the type of motors used
in yesterdays flight to be used by the
department in its airship experiments.
