DOUBT FACTS OF HISTORY.
Persons So Fond of Miraculous Tha,
Questions Are Easily Raised.

Persons So Fond of Miraculous That
Questions Are Easily Raised.
The love Of the miraculous Is enough
to keep alive the belief that the ac-
cepted facts Of history concerning a
person who has greatly Interested the
world either by his life or his death
are all wrong, says the Boston Trans
crlpt. Within twenty years big book
has been published In this country to
demonstrate that Marshal Ney was not
shot In the garden Of the Luxembourg,
Dec. Z, 1916, but escaped to America
and dwelt In North Carolina.
For some years there flourshed in
Germany man who declared himself
to be the son Of the duke of Reichstadt
by secret marriage and therefore the
grandson and direct heir of Napoleon.
This imposter was a clumsy fellow who
did not know his book, for the date he
assigned as that Of his birth was fully
a year subsequent to the death of the
duke.
But we need not travel so far as Eu-
rope to find the credulous of the incred-
ible. Only few years ago there died
In Kansas man who was believed by
many of the vicinity to be Wilkes
Booth. A marked physical resemblance
to the assassin caused so much annoy
ance to a well-known clergyman that
he took pains to demonstrate by proofs
Of his birth and education that he was
not Wilkes Booth.
The fact that Mrs. FitZherbert made
solemn declaration that she never
was a mother does not deter the "Fitz-
herbert heirs" in this country from
bothering King Edward with letters
applying for permission to examine GER.
tain papers which they believe contain
a secret of vast money value to them
The people who believe these incredi.
bic legends In the face Of proof posi-
tive to the contrary, are not all Of one
kind, nor of the class Of the English
man who said Of the Tlchborne claim
ant: Just because he was the son OF
a Mapping butcher they wouldn't give
him the estate"

HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY
PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backaehe and
0veroome Kidney Trouble and Blad-

and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case Of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, il taken before
the stage Of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A we'll known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the Ingredients are all harmless, ant
can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to d.
80. He further stated that while thi
prescription is often prescribed in rheu
