Their First White Man
Black Tribe Living on Mornington
Island just Discovered.

Sydney, N. S. W., March 16.
Probably the last black tribe
who have never seen white
man has been discovered in
Mornington Island, in the Gulf
of Carpentaria. The first white
man they saw was R. B. How
ard, chief protector of aborig-
ines in Queensland, who came in
contact with them after two
days searching.
The blacks, he says, were in
ia very primitive state. They
did not know the use of tobac-
co, and would not eat bread,
meat or even sugar, although
they readily tasted anything
given to them. There was nc
sign whatever of disease, and
although emaciated in appear
ance, they were strong and
agile.

WOMAN swallows SNAKE.
Doctors Thought She Had an Incur
able Disease Until Coughing
Affnck

Attack.
Lansdale, Pa, March 49,
For several years Mrs. Kate
Fellman, of this place, has been
suffering from a supposed in
lcurable disease and her case has
puzzled several physicians. A
few days ago Mrs. Fellman was
seized with a fit of coughing and
elected wriggling object
which was found to be a snake.
DR.. L. L. Cope, her attending
physician, took the reptile to
Philadelphia, where it was de-
clared by professional men to be
a water snake.
The reptile was about seven
inches long and lived but a few
minutes. Mrs. Fellman says
THAT about five years ago she
lived in place where she
drank water from a spring, and
thinks that she must have swal-
lowed it at that time.
Mrs. Fellman is rapidly re-
gaining her health, and all trace
of her former ailments has dis
appeared.

MARKET MOVEMENT
Of THE DAY

New York. Dec. 1.-The stock mar
ket today was still characterized by
the wide movements in stocks not
usually prominent in the dealings.
The sudden awakening into activity
of these AT advancing prices was ac-
comrlished IN some cases by deal"
rumors. Here and there were slight
$ gins OF le'nvestment demand, in an
ticipation of the profit to be available
for use after the first of the year.
In the bond market where this is
usually as marked. it has made no
perceptible impression at all. the de-
mand for bonds continuing inert up to
this time. The speculative movement
at the close was hating and irregular.
The active strength of the first hour
seemed to be taken advantage of to
effect some distribution of stocks and
the tone was dropping thereafter The
action of Reading was of large sym
pathetic effect in this result. That
stock. after early strength, sold off
on reports that the meeting of direct
ors to act on the dividend would be
held tomorrow. Attention was at
tracted by report that the United
States Steel corporation will assign
ployes this year in pursuance of the
profit-sharing plan, instead Of COM
mon stock, for which the employees
were allowed to subscribe at so last
January. Preparations for enforcing
the corporation tax are a cause of
disguiet to corporations. .Adriot use
Is being made in the speculation of
the various rumors OF the merger of
the so-called Guggenheim copper
properties. Of which official details
were lacking today. Interest rates
for so days and six months loans
were lowered today. with increased Of
ferings and lessened demand. Call
loans again touched 5 per cent, al
though heavy disbursements for to-
morrow. including the STANDARD Oil
dividend did not seem to affect the
market. Foreign exchange rates were
higher again ana gold was engaged
for shipment to South America.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $3.50, 900.
United states e's advanced as per
cent on call.

MEMBERS OF GOOD ROADS Asso.
CATION SUGGEST PLANS
FOR IMPROVEMENTS.

Topeka. kas.. Dec. i4.-NationaI aid
tional highways connecting capitals of
the various states and OF state high
ways connecting various county seats,
Use of federal prisoners for building
roads and the establishment of road
making on strictly business basis are
some of the suggestions made today at
the opening sessions of the Tenth Ma
tional Good Roads convention. A let
ter from President Taft declares
against national aid to any great ex-
tent. The president says:
My own view of the good roads
question is that it is chiefly a state
function and that all states ought to
unite in an effort to promote good
roads. L do not think that the farmers
are as much interested in the matter
Us they ought to be. Next to educa
ton. the system of good roads is the
greatest civiiiZer."
Arthur G. Jackson. national president
of the National Good Roads associa-
tion. suggested the plan of national and
state highways. Today he appointed
committee on resolutions. One reso-
luton will declare for national aid for
road work.
The suggestion to use federal labor
in building roads is contained in a let
ter from ID. II. Anthony a Kansas con-
gresham. who is seeking to interest
the government in a plan To construct
military highway from Fort Leaven-
worth to Fort Riley. Kan.

Electropodes are not an experiment:
that they produce results which can
be quickly felt and even seen in an

troubles, stomach and liver derange-
ments. neuralgia. rheumatism, back
ache. lumbago, insomnia and weak
heart
Electropodes are metallic insoles. so
placed in the heels of the shoes as TO
be unnoticeable to the wearer. BY
contact with the body ii is stated they
electrify and inyigorate every fiber. or
gan, nerve and blood vessel and the
condition of the system quickly
changes for the better.
Electropodes are never uncomfort-
able, yet you feel mighty change
and increased power creeping upon
you.

not in the least exaggerated, The Elec-
tropode company of Lima, Ohio. has
