Recently a parachutist gave several
exhibitions of his daring and skill at
Glasgow. One afternoon a strong wind
carried his balloon rapidly away. and
It was some time before he could make
a descent. He touched mother earth
at a moorland spot near a farm house,
and an old man stood close by staring
in blank amazement. He had seen
the gaudily-dressed being drop down
from the clouds.
What place is thisg" asked the
parachutist in an authoritative tone.
The old man reverently knelt down
and clasped his hands together, and
his voice trembled with fervent emo
ton as he answered.
Good Lord. this is the parish O.

BUCHANAN AND THE cowHELL-
Incident Of Presidents Early Life
Caused Political Feud.

Rev. DR.. Frederick Cast. professor
emeritus OF Hebrew in the Reformed
Theological seminary at Lancaster,
Pa, is one Of the very few persons liv-
ing who were intimately acquainted
with President Buchanan, and he has
a large stock of stories about the
Pennsylvania that have never ap-
peared III print
Buchanan was born IN a sparsely set
tied part of Bedford county, and in his
youth his mother was accustomed to
place around his neck cow bell so
that its tinkling announced his where
abonts whenever he wandered into
the woods surrounding the family
cabin. Neighbors children, nearly all
Of whom were, of German parentage,
invariably thereafter called him
"Chimmy NIT de bells on" nick
name which later in life led him into
one of the fiercest political feuds that
ever existed in the Keystone state.
Thaddeus Stevens and Buchanan
were practicing lawyers in Lancaster,
and We're intimate friends until one
day, opposed to each other in the trial
of suit, Stevens banteringly referred
to his friend as "Chimmy NIT de
bells on"
Buchanan made no reply in court,
but as soon as the trial was ended
he lured his insulter into an alleyway
and gave him drubbing which Stew
ems had reason to never forget. There
after the two were implacable en-
emies

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think of Western Canada.

A party Of editors from a number Of
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West ST. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
OF miles Of new railway lines have
been built, and the development of
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
in their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as if
by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
1t is revelation, a record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader character
ICES Western Canada as "a great coun,
try undeveloped. The summer out
ing" it says, was an eye-opener to
every member of the party, even those
who were on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog
ress and advancement made in that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread basket of the world. 1t
was delightful outing through a
great country Of wonderful POSSIBLE
tiles and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
| Government has revised it's land regu-
lations and it is now possible to Sc
cure 160 acres of wheat land at $500
an acre in addition to the 16G acres
that may be homesteaded.

Trufb and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed In every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senne is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
Rists.

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum

Many a talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and Tenn. ladys ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning of the
use Of coffee it hurt my stomach. BY
the time I was fifteen I was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth. I
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food 1
could digest, 1 was literally starving;
was so weak 1 could not sit up long
at time.
at was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. drank part of it
and after an hour felt as though 1
had had something to eat = felt
strengthened That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post
um in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day can eat and
digest anything want, walk as much
as want. My nerves are steady.
81 believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and I use it alto
gether now instead of coffee There's

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and ineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago but it as we'll as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

81 am now 80 years old, and three
years ago 1 was taken with an at
tack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding

only help for me was to go to a
hospital and be operated on. I tried
several remedies for months but did
not get much help. During this time
sores appeared which changed to a
terrible itching eczema. Then began
to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura
Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. 1t took a month of this
treatment to get me in a fairly healthy
state and then 1 treated myself once
a day for three months and, after that,
once or twice a week. The treatments
1 tried took a lot of money, and it is
fortunate that 1 used Cuticura. ]. H.

An English paper recently asked its
readers for an answer to the follow
ing riddle:
What does a man love more than life,
Hate more than death or mortal
strife;
That which contented men desire,
The poor have, and the rich require;
A miser spends, the spendthrift saves,
And all men carry to their graves?
All sorts of answers were sent in,
but the correct one was declared to
be Nothing"
