Arab Workmanship.

Regarding the war in Morocco, the
last stages of which wrought havoc
among the French troops, French
journal recalls remark once made by
the French general, Canrobert, in de-
scribing the taking of Zaatcha in the
Arabian campaign.
Cali around me-" said the famous
general, ''the staff officers were being
killed like flies. l alone remained I'M
touched. Why? For very simple
reason. AS usual, l was wearing a
full dress uniform, with all my dec
orations and medals glistening in the
sun. Consequently the Arabs aimed at
me personally"

Hanford's Ice Cream, the kind you

the New Drug Store. Why pay more?
Frozen In For Half a Century.

FROZEN IN for 1aIt Century.
The old wooden English warship In
vestigator, which has been frozen In ut
Mercy bay. Boring island, since Sept.
"a, 1851. has at last been freed from
the ice. 1t seems almost incredible
that the ice in Mercy bay has never
melted before In the course Of half y
century, but nevertheless that is the
truth. Last summer was. however, q
mild one, and the ship was liberated,
while, the winter having been open,
the vessel still remains free. There will
be general desire to have the ship
brought to England. and this will be
easy, for 1t appears she is in sound
condition. Sir Robert Mcclure was COM
mander Of the Investigator during the
search for the Franklin expedition.
The vessel had to be abandoned. and
1t has been frozen in ever since.-LOn-

found. He lives in little town in the
upper part Of York county. He fell Ill
with symptoms indicating appendicitis

supplying the wants Of his immense
herds during the rainless seasons.
An enemy which has to be sternly
fought on this great ranch is fire,
and scarcely a summer passes with
out great tracks of prairie being laid
waste by its destroying advance.
Throughout the torrid months there
is a man stationed on tthe "look-
out at every station each hour of the
"a, and directly he sees indications
which tell him that a fire has start
ed, he rings the massive alarm bell
and in an incredibly shoDt time men
come riding in, ready to figh. the
danger with their lives If necessary.
The frightened cattle are driven side
wise from the line of the oncoming
fire, and then the enemy is attacked
from the rear. 1t is no good attempt
ing to stop a prarle fire from the
front, for its progress is too rapid
and too annihilating. Heavy chains
are dragged along the ground. which
help to weaken and dissipate the fire.
Across the prairie long burrows so
feet apart are quickly made, and these
also help to stem the progress of che
fire. All night the fight is kept up,
and not until the last spark is quench-
ed are the men able to take food and
rest.
In these efforts to subdue the flames
Don Luis and his sons are usually
TO be seen working like demons and
urging their men to greater efforts.
Fighting a prairie fire has all the
elements of danger, and for excite
ment it has few equals. For this
reason Don Luis takes a fierce delight
in combating the flames, and declares
that it is one of the destinations of a
prairie life.

There was a blow. Somebody fell.
We got up. Turning upon our antag-
onist, We succeeded in winding his
arms around our waist, and by a
quick maneuver threw him on top
of us, bringing our back, at the same
time, in contact with the solid bed
of the printing-press. Then, inserting
our nose between his teeth and clever
ly entangling his hands in our hair,
we had him."

All dues of the A. S. of E. will be

have not paid their dues by that time

be entitled to attend the county I'M
ion as delegates. Let all pay up and
let the July meeting Of the county
union be a banner one. Let all at
tend their ! Ocals. 1t is necessary
There will, probably be the largest
crop of tobacco this year that has
ever been planted in the county. Ger
tainly it will be the largest since the
A. S. of f., has been in control h ere
and with only about 40 per cent of
it pledged to the pool you stand a
good chance of getting back to "a
tobacco. Let us get back to our To-
calls and pay our dues. With four
counties still standing by Equity and
three divided the Green River district
should get busy. l would suggest
that the old Green River district meet
on the regular day, the first Thurs
day in July and reorganize and see
if we can not get the A. Sole. forces
together. Now this means no fight
but only peace and harmony
Let us get the Equity people
and all others together and
agree on the price for he crop
this year. This win further help the
progress of uniting and of bringing all
the tobacco under control. This is the
only way to do 1t. / am not fighting
the new organization but am fighting
for the tenant, renter and the small
farmer. Many of these are to-day in
debted to thea. s. Of E. for their
homes and will never desert that orga
nization. The large grower does not
need any sympathy. He is able to
take care of himself. 1t is fact that
the fight was won by the poor farmer
and the A. S. Of z. and as one of then
am in sympathy with them. ]

It is only a muscular weakness; when

will soon correct itself. And so 1t is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
