dumped their wounded victim, who
had fallen across the railing of the
oil tank car upon which they were
riding, from the car. They kept Jim

His brother crawled to nearby farm

he could not understand why his
brother did not do so. as the latter
made no movement of resistance.

Cured by Cuticura In Three Weeks.
AT first an eruption of small pus-
tules commenced on my hands. These
spread later to other parts of my body,
and the itching at times was intense,
so much SO that I literally tore the
skin off in shreds in seeking relief.
The awful itching interfered with my
work considerably, and also kept me
awake nights. I tried several doc
tors and used a number Of different
ointments and lotions but received
practically no benefit. Finally l set.
tied down to the use of Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills,
with the result that in a few days all
itching had ceased and in about three
weeks time all traces Of my eruption
had disappeared. l have had no trou.

NOISY AFRICAN NATIVES.
Laughter Seldom Heard in the Uproar
sounds Of Tontoms and Bio Shells.


Among the African natives there
can be nothing done without noise,
according to William B. Clarke of
Pittsburg, Pa, who has travelled eX-
tensively in Africa.
1T is simply appalling, the rush,
the roar, the chatter and the hustle,
like Bedlam let loose" Mr.. Clark said.
"The principal object of conversation
is said to be money, and the hubbub,
bawling and uproar in all sorts Of
tones from shrill and screaming to
gruff and growing, accompanied by
all sorts of gesticulations with tongue,
head and feet, are beyond description.
TT Is rather odd, but laughter is
almost never heard in this uproar;
and, as for whistling. 1t is lost art
If there are any quarrels they are not
to be heard in public, although when
a company of natives get to carry on
an animated conversation it appears
to the observer as if the next act
would be melee.
"In addition to these natural
sounds there are others of an arti-
f1cial character that are equally ia
miliar to the traveller. Such is the
noise of the drums called tomtoms,
which are beaten on every occasion,
and kind of pipe about eighteen
inches long, with holes like those of
flute, and breathed through in a.
way that produces a variety of notes
Of a wild, discordant character. A
frightful noise Is made by the kaffa
men blowing on a big she'll"

CHURCH IN A WINDMILL.
Cleared Of Rats, It Does Very Well at
Rent Of o5 Cents War


Rent Of 25 Cents a Year.
Twelve years ago, when the vii
layers living Off the borders of Rel
gate Heath. Surrey, England, had no
place or worship nearer than the par
1sh church, a service was held in a
school room close by and was so well
attended that the authorities looked
around for a suitable permanent build
ing.
The erection of church was ont Of
the question, but there stood on the
heath the remains OF an old mill a
picturesque feature in beautiful bit
OF landscape. Inspection showed that
once the rats were got rid Of a COM
paratively small outlay would furnish
and render the mill fit for public wor.
ship, and soon 1t was opened as the
Chapel of the Holy Cross.
The interior Of the chanel arouses
interest. says the Wide World Maya
zine. Four buttresses, four feet
thick by six feet In height, serve as
rests for two massive beams which
cross each other in the center and
support an upright shaft cracked with
age and strongly bound with iron
bands. The buttresses make four
natural alcoves. The entrance door
stands in one, and Immediately oppo-
site is the altar; the harmonium is
placed in third, and the bell ringer
sits close beside it and rings his bell:
the fourth is occupied by the congre-
cation. The rent of this novel church

Or. Glasson Appointed.

DIR. w. II. Glasson, professor
of economics at Trinity College,
has been appointed supervisor of
this district Of census takers.
The appointment seems to have
been sprung as a surprise upon
l,cal republicans and the talk
among them has been lively. But
il is claimed by those that seem
to know that the appointment is
in line with the policy Of the
president to appoint only men
that have not been active in poll
tics.
DIR. Glasson is we'll fitted for
the position and will make good
man for the position. This job
pays about $500 a year and is
considered one Of the good things
that were coming to this section.
Durham people that were not ex-
pecting that the job should go to
a party man are well pleased
with the appointment.
