the possibility of escape when the
quarry should be captured. Myrick
watched this work with growing
apprehension, and fought more and
more desperately to district the
worker and interfere with his Ia
Dor.
The closing of the courts for the
summer afforded a grateful breath
just in time. The hunter was even
then close behind his hard-pressed
victims, and when the autumn
came rushing apace a note of pan
ic sounded in the chill October
wind.
Myrick scented disaster first and
fastened to cover, and the shelter
he sought was the offices of Rut-
ledge, Bailey & Nugent, counselors
at law.

It's a bare possibility that in

each unconscious of how really

A Constipation
Remedy Free

There IS no action of your daily
life OF greater importance than to see
that your bowels move. They should
move at least once a day naturally,
and by thatis meant without any help.
If they do not move at least once a
day you can consider yourself con-
stipated and it is time you did some
thing about it.
You will be glad to know there
Is a way out Of the difficulty. Lem
uel Landerdale, an old soldier at Quincy,
H., Elmer Mcmillan, OF Speed, Mo-, Mrs.
Monahan, Of Stonewall, Miss, and many
others we're as you are now. But n
day they awoke 10 the fact that DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin was curing their
friends, so they bought it too and it
cured them. Today they are loud in
praise of II.
What DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin did
for them il should do for you. Surely your
constipation is no worse than theirs, one
of whom had 1t since 81. 1t only remains
for you TO realize that salts are Of but
temporary good, and what you want Is a
permanent cure; that ~purgative tablets.
cathartic pills and such violent things
make a great show OF doing something,
but do nothing that is lasting. DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is a scientific prepa-
ration, a laXative-tonic, a mild syrupy
liquid that contains ingredients that not
only cure the constipation, but tone the
intestinal muscles so that they learn
again to work without help. A bottle can
be bought of any druggist for the small
price Of 80 cents, and there is a dollar
size for families who have already found
out its wonderful value in stomach. liver
and bowel troubles, in old or young.

DR.. Cook, head of the State
at Maryville, has been
practically forced to tender his
resignation after involving the
school in a row that threatens to
destroy it. Ten teachers APP
pointed by Cook were fred and
the salaries were all reduced.
Cook seems to have run things
with a high hand, and was &C
cused of giving life certificates
without requiring the parties to
take the prescribed course of
study. These additional normal
schools were not needed, but
were simply political expedients
to please certain people, hence
it is not remarkable that scan
dalS should grow out OF them.
Rather would it be remarkable
if they did not sooner or later
fall into disrepute. Despite the
lack of funds to properly main

now have, there is ever!

the past, that political exigen
