A HISTORIC HIGHWAY.
How Colonel Zane Kept His Contract
to Mark the Road.

How Colonel Zane Kept His Contract
to Mark the Road.
It is said that the beginning of one
part of historic road may be traced
to the following incident: In early
days, before the public conveyance by
stage between the east and west, travel
was generally by horseback. Judge
Brown, senator for Kentucky, reached
Wheeling on the way to the capital wet
and tired. He was a guest of Colonel
Ebenezer Zane, an early settler at
Wheeling. Standing before the fire in
Zane's comfortable cabin, he remark
ed, "Zane, if you will have road
way marked from here to Limeston
(Maysville), will have congress grant
you a section of land at the crossing
of the Muskingum, Hooking and Scioto
rivers" Zane fulfilled the contract,
and congress made the grant.
May II, 1885, congress granted to
Ebenezer Zane three tracts of land,
one square mile, one on the Muskin-
gum, one on the Hooking and one on
the Scioto river, in the state of Ohio,
for the purpose of building ferries on
the road from Wheeling, w. Va, to
Limeston, which road was to be opened
by the president Of the United States.
These grants were confirmed to Zane
and patented Feb. IA, 1900. On April
3, 1902, congress made the same al
lowance to Isaac Zane, his heirs or as
signs, located in the Northwest Terri
tory, now the state of Ohio. Zane made
good use of his grants. He located the
town Of GAINESVILLE on the Muskingum,
the town of Fairfield on the Hook
ing and Chillicothe on the Scioto. The
story runs that when Judge Brown
passed over the ''road" he found it
well marked by-blazed trees. - Ex-

Pretty Feet Always Painful.

Pretty feet are always painful feet.
Shoes rarely, if ever, fit them; hence
they carry their possessors haltingly,
and too often they must direct them
selves toward the chiropodist's. The
high arched instep, the pretty foot's
essential quality, is yet in a way a
deformity, for it causes an abnormal
tightness of the tendon governing the
toes, and the toes in consequence all
turn under little, as though trying to
grasp something. Turning under, the
joints stand out prominently, just as
the knuckles stand out when the fin
gers are closed. The leather of the
shoe rubs and irritates these prominent
joints, and the pretty foot's pretty own
er pays the penalty in many a smart,
in many a jumping pain.-New Or

Each bottle of the above medicines
bears upon its wrapper a badge of hon

This frank and open publicity places
these medicines in q class all by them

DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writer's as cures
for the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DR.. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for Ger.

A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter
into DR.. Pierce's medicines, they being

Woes of the Rich Youna.

The children Of the rich today are not
allowed to be imaginative. They have
no illusions. They do not have the
great and educative pleasure of pre-
tense. In simpler, less material years
the child played att something A
block of wood was a locomotive. A
doll was a human being or a fairy.
The tin horse was feeter and more
wonderful than Flora Temple or Dex-
ter. Now everything must be done for
the pleasure Of girl or boy. The
poor youngsters are not encouraged.
They are hardly allowed to invent their
own amusements, to turn plain and
humble things into something rare and
glorihed by sheer force Of Imagination.

Her Visit to England and the Effect
IL Produced

Her Visit to England and the Effect
1t Produced.
Pocahontas was born in the year
1896. Her father, Powhatan, was the
lord and ruler of thirty tribes or clans
Of savages inhabiting that vast domain
which was then called Virginia, after
the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth. His
friendship was dearly sought for by the
white men and considered essential to
the life and success of the colony. Like
most red men, he distrusted the whites
and their designs.
In England Pocahontas was treated
with all the honor shown to royalty.
Her grace and charm seem to have
won all hearts, and she was at her
ease with the best in the land She
was presented at Queen Anne's court,
attended a ball given by the bishop of
London and visited the Globe theater
to see Shakespeare's Tempest" In
fact, she took on the garb and accesso-
ries of civilization with that easy grace
which belongs to the truly great and
was as much at home in court as in
her own western solitudes. But in
wardly she seems to have pined for
her own free, open life of the forest,
and when she was about to return on
the good ship George she sickened and
died at Gravesend, having lived long
enough, as one commentator has said,
to unite two hemispheres, two races,
two civilizations. = William Ordway

All stomach troubles are quickly re-
lieved by taking a little Kodol after
each meal. Kodol goes directly to the
seat of the trouble, strengthens the d.
gestive organs, supplies the natural
digestive juices and digests what you
eat. It is simple, clean, pure, harmless
remedy. Don't neglect your stomach.

see how good it makes you feel. Money

English Versus French Roads.

In England it is almost impossible
to attain speed with safety. The roads
twist and turn and the walls and
hedges prevent the drivers seeing
what there is beyond a curve. An
average pace of twenty-five miles an
hour is fairly good time in England.
OF course the country is settled much
more thickly than France, which adds
to the danger of speeding. Speed laws
are enforced with severity in England,
but If you will try the mettle Of your
motor cross the channel. In France
the road is yours. Travel Magazine. a
