Zodiac Signs In Fashion.

Mrs. Alexander Van Nest, Mrs. Van
derbnt and Miss Harriet Daily are suf-
fciently interested in the classic cults
to have the zodiac signs belonging to
their respective birth months engrav-
ed or embroidered on many of their
belongings, says the New York Press.
The idea has found favor among other
society women, and they will adhere
to 1t no doubt until it degenerates to
general use. Each sign is in the "as-
tral color belonging to the month.
January calls for green, February pink,
March purple, April red, May blue,
June green, July red, August violet,
September blue, October brown, No
vember gold and December gray.

Dates Supplied.

"Don't wait for your opportunity
make it." So read Mr.. Kalestalk, who
had recently started in business as q
greengroeer.
He was still pondering this excellent
dogma when his eye caught an item in
the sporting columns of the local pa
per, "Sploshton Wanderers Football
club requires dates for ensuing sea-
son."
Here was chance for Mr.. Kalestalk.
so he wrote to the secretary of the
club:
Dear Sir-I presume you require
dates for use at half time. Shall be
glad to supply quotation for same
either by the stone or hundredweight." +"

"Wait TIL l send over to the postoffice
department" which he did. The mes
senger soon returned and handed him
the government report of the office at
Memphis. which was A No. /. On
reading this he smiled and said, "Mr.
Deloach, you can return home, drink
all you want and fear no danger so
long as the department here can make
such a report as this"
He did not return. On the contrary,
he loitered about Washington; got on
a spree right under the shadow of the
White House. Yet the general was un-
Kavering in his loyalty to his friend,
but for whom in all likelihood he
would never have been president Of
the United States. 1t was a crucial
test, and instead Of ousttng him he
sent his former chief of staff, Gen.
eral Morgan, with funds and instruc-
tions to buy him ticket, put him on a
sleeper and send him home.
After this Mr.. Deloach went to
Washington. carrying the colored man
with him, and they both called to see
the president, who treated the darky
with the utmost courtesy and kind
ness, going SO far as to offer his col
ored friend a lucrative position, but at
the same time advising him to remain
with his old friend and master.
Reviewing the life Of this distin-
guished warrior, citizen and patriot, in
the midst of the multitude of the
achievements which so richly adorp
his career none surpasses If indeed any
equals this famous feature of his un-
wavering loyalty to his friends.

Elephant Police.

The sight of six pairs Of elephants
simultaneously at work capturing a
half dozen struggling, trumpeting
mates is an imposing one. Like pair
of animal policemen arresting a pris-
oner, the great beasts sidle alongside
victim, take him between them and
jostle and squeeze and worry him, tall
first, toward a tree. Every inch Is
contested by the herculean fighters
until nearing stout tree or stump the
little brown elephant catchers slide
from their mounts to the ground, crawl
under the ponderous bellies and shut

about hind foot and take turn

A BLENG TO
YMANY PEOPLE
May lean Much Less Sickness
Here When This Prescription
is Known by People in Pa
ducah. -
\ HOME MADE REMEDY.


This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t is
intended to check the many cases of
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
Bile which have made so many Grip
pies and invalids and weaklings of
some OF our brightest and strongest
people.
The druggists here have been
notified to supply themselves with
the Ingredients, and the sufferer will
have no trouble to obtain them. The
is as follows: Fluid Elk
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce, and Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie. The dose is one teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments, even in severe
hospital cases. prove this simple mix
ture the remedy for Rheumatism,
because Of its positive action
upon the eliminative tissues Of the
kidneys. II compels these most vital
organs to filter from the blood and
system the waste impurities and uric
acid which are the cause of rheuma-
tism. It cleanses the Kidneys
strengthens them and removef quick
ly such symptoms as backache, blood
disorders. bladder weakness, frequen
urination, painful scaldlng and dis
colored urine. 1t acts as powerful
stimulant to the entire kidney and
bladder structure, puts new life into
them and invlgorates the entire tract
All the ingredients, states well
known local druggist, are of vegetable
extraction, making it a safe and harm
less prescription at any time.
Those who suffer and are accus'
toned to purchase bottle of patent
medicine should pot let little incon-
yenience interfere with making this

DEFECTIVE FLUE
CAUSES BAD FIRE IN OLD l. G.
FREIGHT DEPOT.
Association Tobacco in Prizing House
Threatened 'But Was Saved by
FiIcmcn.

Fire, which started from a defec-
tive ilue in the old freight depot at
Eleventh street and Broadway early
last night. damaged the building
about $500 and for a while $25, 900
worth of association tobacco in the
pricing house Of Graham & Veal, in
the rear of the depot building, was in
danger of destruction, but was saved
by the prompt work Of the fremen.
The fire started in the second story
Of the old building in the room for
merly occupied by the dispatcher's
Office, but at present is occupied by
one Caller. The room underneath.
which is occupied by the yard clerks,
sustained the heaviest damages, the
books and records that were out of
the safe being soaked with water.
When the emp:oyes of the Graham
& Veale association pricing house
opened the place this morning it was
found that nehher fire nor water had
reached the stock stored in the ware
house. and no damage whatever was
sustained. The tobacco in the house
is fully protected with insurance.

MOVING PICTURE SHOWS.
This Class of Entertainments is Now
on the Increase.

"The moving picture show bust
ness, instead Of dying out, is becom-
ing greater every day and will soon
recognized as one Of the leading
amusement institutions of the coun-
try" remarked j. W. Saltee. who
has a string of electric theaters in
Illinois. according to the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune. THE bust
ness in this country is only a few
years old, but it is figured that the
thousands Of moving picture theaters
in every state in the union receive
over 100000 paid admissions ev-
cry day. The cheap amusement of.
fered attracts the people fully as
much as the novelty. Besides the
numerous picture shows, every vau-
deyille theater in the country has a
moving picture exhibition at every
performance.
