LIKE FINDING MONEY.

The Dawson Drug Co. is making
an offer that is just like finding mon
ey, for they are selling a regular
50-cent bottle of DR.. Towards cele-
brated specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia at half price.
In addition to this large discount
they agree to return the money to
any purchaser whom the specific
does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to
buy fifty-cent pieces for a quarter,
but that is what this offer really
means, for it is only recently,
through the solicitation of the Daw-
son Drug Co. that this medicine
could be bought for less than fifty
cents; they urged the proprietors to
allow them to sell it at this reduced
price for a little while, agreeing to
sell certain amount. The result has
justified their good judgment, for
the sale has been something remark
able.
Anyone who suffers with head
ache, dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stom-
ach, specks before the eyes, or any
liver trouble should take advantage
of this opportunity, for DR.. How
ards specific will cure all these
troubles. But if by any chance 1t
should not the Dawson Drug Co. will
return your money.

Brimberry's Age Has Been Proven

The oldest human being in Geor-

negro. Brimberry is 121 years of
age, having been born in North Car

BACK TO COUNTING MONEY.

Man Who Shaved President Regrets
Change in Administration.
There is at least one man in
Washington who sincerely regrets
the change of administration. He
is the treasury department account
ant at $1,000 a year whose chief
duty consisted in shaving President
Roosevelt once a day. He was prob
ably the highest paid barber in the
United States, if not in the world,
and regularly had his summer out
ings at Oyster Bay as member of
the chief executives staff This
barber accountant has now been sent
back to the department on whose
payroll he is carried, and President
Taft is shaved by a Filipino valet
that he brought with him from Ma
Mia and whose pay comes out of
the Presidents own pocket.

A FIRE FIFTY YEARS OLD
GREAT EFFORTS BEING MADE
TO SAVE A BURNING NINE.
Erecting a Solid Wall to Check
the Advance of the FLAMES.

the Advance of the Flames.
Determined efforts are now being
made to extinguish a fire that for
s. years has been raging in the bow
els of the earth at Summit Hill, Pa,
and which during that period has
licked up many thousand of tons of
coal. 1t was 81 years ago last
month that the fire broke outflow
has never been determined. Lack
of men and lack of means prevent
ed proper fighting of the fire when
it started. The shaft in which it
originated led into mine which had
been worked for more than 80 years
and which contained great quanti-
ties of refuse coal. This furnished
it ready fuel and the fire was soon
beyond control. Since then it has
burned a mile westward of the
original starting place.
Efforts have been made from time
to time to eXtinguish the fire, but
unsuccessfully. In 1862 the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation Company, the
owners, undertook to make an open
cut through the hill to block off the
fire. An excavation of 1000 feet
was made in the earth. For some
unknown reason the work was
abandoned; the fire came up to the
cut, swerved aside and blithely pur-
sued it's way.
Sixteen years ago they began drill
ing boreholes into the earth. They
sank holes until they struck cracks
or open shafts, when they poured
into the mine tons of refuse and
water or wet clay The purpose was
to block the fire by walls of this
waste material. Into 600 to 700
holes were poured thousands of tons
of 'gob" or slush. Some required
as many as 5000 tons of waste mat

GRAND Canyons TRAGEDIES
EVERY YEAR IT TAKES TOLL,
IN HUMAN LIVES.
Niagara's Waters Are Peaceful Conn
pared to Colorado River. 1t
Never Gives Up Its Dead.

| Never Gives Up It's Dead.
Every year the river and the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado take
their toll in human life" recently
said Frederick s. Dellenbaugh, the
artist-author, who has painted pic
lures and written books about that
wonderful river that rushes for hun
dreds of miles through gorges hun
dreds of feet deep.
When l was with Mai. Powell on
his exploring expedition through the
Grand Canyon forty years ago we
lost several men, and the few other
expeditions that have followed ours
since then all have mad to paw the
river its price in the same way" he
continued. "Powell's party was the
hrst journey white men ever made
down through that perilous portion
OF the Colorado river, and almost
every day of the many months it
took was full of danger. Every
year some lives are lost there. There
would be more only so few people
venture into that dangerous part Of
the Grand Canyon.
THAT part of the Colorado river
never gives up it's dead Those who
fall into the waters clutches literal
ly are dashed to pieces and no trace
OF them ever is found The stream
runs with such exceeding swiftness
and turbulence in so many places
that nothing less fragile than a
boulder can long exist.
The Whirlpool Rapids of the Nj
agara river below the falls are ter
rible to contemplate, but it can be
SAID without eXaggeration that the
Niagara rapids are peaceful waters
compared to some of the long
stretches Of foam on the Colorado.
The Whirlpools on the Colorado are
OF the true type-the water swirls
round and round and there is a
broad, hollow, funnel-shaped hole in
the center Of them through which
one might peer down a good many
feet If he could hover over it. After
the river energies from the Grand
Canyon it flows through a fat coun-
try into the Gulf of California.
Even there it is a treacherous
stream, full of sandbars and quick
sands, and almost as dangerous to
cross as in the rapids above.

ANOTHER PROPHET BOBS UP
He Is in Boston, and Predicts All
Sorts of Things.


A new prophet has bobbed up in
Boston, where he will doubtless
shortly found church and secure
many converts and take in much
money. Here are a few of his pre-
dictions for the near future: Col
Roosevelt will kill a white rhinocer-
os in Africa; President Taft will die
of apOpleXy within two years; Vice
President Sherman will succumb to
appendicitis within the same time;
Philander c. Knox will then become
president; there will be no war for
ten years; the next war will be be-
tween Great Britain and her colo
MES, and Great Britain will be wiped
out as a world power; the United
States is going to have trouble in
side of ten years. The fellow doesn't
seem to have left much for the other
prophets to guess.

The New Plan.

w
| the fire.
The New Plan.
,, The new plan means the making
of a solid wall of clay or concrete
in the mine up to which the fire will
burn, when it will perforce have to
die out. This undertaking, it is
said, will cost more than $1,000
600. Beginning at the top of hill
more than a mile from Summit Hill,
six shafts are being sunk into the
earth. At the top of the hill an
open cut, 100 feet long and IL feet
wide, is being made in the earth.
1t will be eXcavated until the coal
vein is reached. Then all the coal
at that point will be removed. Two
other cuts being dug are 20 feet
long by II feet wide; the other
three are so feet long by II feet in
width. All are dug so feet apart
and will be eXcavated to the coal
vein, probably to depth of 200
feet.
When the coal vein is reached
men will begin taking out the coal
beneath the shaft and tunneling it
uHueI CHe intervening ground De-
tween the shafts. When all the coal
is removed the excavation will be
filled, either with clay or a compo-
sition of concrete, which will form
thick and solid wall in the mine
Early in January this work was
begun under the direction of c. T.
Starr, 1t will be finished, according
to the engineer, within five months
The wall which will replace the coal
vein in the mine will extend to the
bottom of the vein in the valley
which is filled with water. 1t will
form an impossible barrier.

ter. But the fire crept around these
impeding walls and burned on. At
last the company realized that be-
cause of the irregularity of the vein
this method could not prove success
full. Then it evolved the scheme
which it believes will finally block
