A good, honest square deal medicine of

Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm

heard OF. There must be some reason for
this. long time popularity and that is to
be found In its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
riOr curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has survived and grown in pop-
ular favor, while scores Of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.

SLAM AMERICANS FOUND.
Teachers Everett and WakeIey
We're Drugged by Philippine
Tribesman.

Manila, July.-The bodies OF 81. d.
Everett. a government forester, and
L. X. Wskeley, a school teacher, who
were murdered several weeks ago by
tribesmen while on an expedition In.
to the unexplored mountain regions
OF the Island OF Negroes. have been
recovered by Lieut.. Ahesrn OF the
constaoulary forces after a difficult
and dangerous search.
Lieut.. Ahearn tells OF finding the
bodies In the following telegram
which has been received here:
"Am returning with the remains OF
Everett and Wakeley, which veto nd
near the last camp In the Bayausl
Mountains. At first our guides were
apparently afraid to lead us into the
mountains OF the interior island
along the route travelled by the two
murdered men. Luckily we at length
succeeded In securing guides who
we're acquainted with Ayhao, the
leader OF the murderers, and who
took US TO the last camping place OF
Everett and Wakeley"
"Ayhao, 1t was explained, planned
the murder while acting as one Of the
native guides which we're conducting
the two white men into the interior
of the island. While gambling With
the other guides he drugged the en-
tire party with the fumes from
plant. Ayhso and some followers
killed Everett and Wakeley and five
guides, The only excuse given by
Ayhao for numbering the party was
that he felt like killing "some one"
Lieut. Ahesrn and his party found
the botanical and other equipment
OF the two men, and also Everett's
money.
Ahearn stated that he endesvored
TO capture Ayhao, but was deserted
by his guides, ran short OF ratiOhs,
and found the trail 80 bad and the
rivers so swollen that he had to re.
turn with his small force.
Ayhao is reported to be far in the
mountains with many followers.

CoWherd on State Schools.

"There is one other thing on which
l wish to make my position plain
regardless OF the position taken by
any other candidate: l propose to
stand for the maintenance OF the
educational system OF the State Of
Missouri.
"The public school, the common
school, II you please, is the school Of
the people. 1t must be maintained
at the very highest point deficiency,
and to the credit OF Missouri that of
the seventeen cents on the hundred
dollars which she levies for State
purposes, she gives back seven OF it
to the common school.
This is In addition to any money
raised for the maintenance OF that
school by local taxation. So that
many counties In the State draw from
the Treasury OF the State more for
the maintenance of their common
schools than they raise by taxation
on their citizens. But II the com.
mon school Is to be maintained at
the point OF highest efficiency, there
must be yearly sent out into the
ranks OF the teachers Of the State
trained men and women to take their
place as educators.
"The fountain can rise no higher
than It's source; unless the teacher In
the common school improves with
the coming years, then the school II
self is in q rut from which there is no
escape, and 90 that our school sys.
tenn may continually improve, and
that the boys and girls Of the little
schoolhouse may every year find
therein q better opportunity for
preparation for the contest Of life, /
demand that We maintain, as we
have always done, those higher
schools that keep up the standard Of
education.
Every Missouri boy and girl has
q right to demand that without cost
to himseIi for tuition he shall receive,
within his State, an education equal
to that given to its children BY any
State in the Union."

Home of the Cob Pine.

From the!St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Franklin county Is the birthplace
OF the Missouri meerschaum," as
those persons who desire to give it q
more aristocrstic name have chris.
tened the corncob pipe. It's fame Is
spreading abroad, and through its
adoption some years ago by the late

ing as speaker, 1t finds ready sale
In the effete east OF our own proud
land.
Franklin county, like her sisters In
Missouri, has reason to feel pround

the year 1907 she and her progeny
produced for export 2,063,44O

with 643,41S pounds OF live and 90.
41O pounds Of dressed poultry, in.
cluding 1867 pounds Of feathers,
brought the county $377,O54. This
sum, though, falls $16,643 short Of
returning to the county as large an
amount as was realized from her
"Missouri msrschaum" products.
Of corncob pipes, during the year
named, the county exported % ,6OS,.

912, 900 pipe stems, 1908 "clean.

DOGS ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
French Army Urged to Use Them to
Retrieve the Wounded.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
corps, why shouldn't they be trained
to reinforce the hospital and ambu-
lance service Of the French army?
writes the Paris correspondent Of the
New York Sun. The advantages OF
this innovation have been set forth at
some length by Doctor Richelonne and
CAPTAIN Toilet in a volume which has
lust been published 1t is entitled
the Dog as an Aid to the Sanitary
Corps"
That dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield Is
no new idea. The experiment was
tried with success at the time Of the
Boer war; and at the battle of Cha
Ho in the conflict of the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered twenty-three soldiers who
had been given up for lost.
In 1890, by the order Of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training Of dogs in war time have been
formed in Dresden, Cologne, Coburg
Aix-la Chappelle and Neuwied. Sim
liar societies have been organized in
Holland, Sweden and Italy. In fact, all
of the European countries have turned
their attention to the subject at one
time or another except France.
Doctor Richelonne and Captain To-
let urge the military authorities to re-
pair this omission. There are many
good breeds of dogs in France which
would take easily to the military
training.
1t is an undisputed fact, t. ese authors
say, that after an engagement there
are many wounded and dying who are
overlooked by the nurses and litter
carriers. A case in point is quoted
At the battle of Rezonville- -Gravelotte
in 1870 two injured soldiers lay for
three days in ravine. The ground
had been gone over many times by the
ambulance service and yet they had
not been found. In instances like this
the usefulness of dogs as scouts is un-
questioned.
1t is a wonder that European armies
have not awakened long before this
last decade to the Importance Of dogs
as practical helpers in war time, the
authors think. On the battlefield the
role of these canine assistants would
be very much the same as that Of the
st. Bernard dogs-and they have been
rescuing snowbound travellers for sew
eral centuries.

SHc OF tHc Experiences "iHSh Gh dSS
Young Sailor.
In Three Years Behind the Guns, y
in st. Nicholas, is recounted one of
those experiences on shipbOard that
make a young sailors heart hot with
in him:
/ was on signal watch on the after
bridge. An ordinance officer four feet
away stood looking shoreward
through his binoculars as the admir-
ais barge rowed straight for the ship
At the proper moment he commanded
"Buglar, call the guard" Then all
the red tape required to get an ad-
miral aboard was unwound. This ac-
complished, Lieutenant Dorm came al
me fairly foaming at the mouth
What are you doing on the bridge?'
he roared.
II am on signal watch, sir"
"Then why did you not report the
admirals launch cOming?'
Because you saw it, SIR

you to say l saw it,

And do you understand that you

She was looking him in the face
again, now. He was a new sort of
man in her experience. To stand face
to face with him, and to listen to such
words as his, was almost worth having
failed in her mad attempt upon his life
for.

marvellous smile-the riddle and des-

dlmrling her cheeks.

''That is ALL"
l"But thought was almost sure"
i"You had no right to think; you
Were sure of nothing"
i"Then-it-is-all?"
1T is, all but one thing"
And that?"
And that is this: I have warned
you once; have saved your life once;
I have spared you once. 1 shall never
do either again! You are never to
presume on my weakness again-or on
my strength. Never dare, as long as
you live, to cross my path again. Do
you understand"
She made no answer in words. She
bowed her head in token Of her under
standing, and she did not raise it again
for many long minutes.
Jasper Jahnway walked rapidly
away, without looking back. Perhaps
and look behind him. Away-away-
into the maze Of streets and squares
of the great city, and still she stood
there, in just the attitude in which he
had left her. Away-away-so far that
her eyes could not have seen him had

would have been safe for him to have
looked back. Away-so far that she
