habitat of the fern is in q warm, moist

which have sprung from it combine
great beauty with hardness to re-

All the varieties named are in COM

WHAT THE KIDNEYSlDO
Their Unceaslns Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 800 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gou'' gravel, disorders of the eyesight ana hearing. dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way, Seattle. Wash. says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan'S Kidney Pills as the relief obtained from their use has proven permanent. l suffered from an acute attack of kidney Tou- tIe and though l used remedy after remedy, l was unable to find relief, had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secreuons. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. l am a great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"

AN OLD TIME
 HANGING. BEE
The Dark Day Whom "oId Jennie' Wat
 Executed In Maryland.


 AS dark as the day when old Jen- nie was hung" is one of the many quaint sayings that for generations has been used on the lower eastern shore of Maryland, but from the accounts that have been given by those who lived In old Jennies day there never has been day since that time as dark as the day on which she was executed for wholesale murder in the neighbor- hood in which she lived.
 The old murdcress was publicly hanged In 1915 in the old jail yard at Princess Anne, and all those who re- membered that particular day have passed into the great beyond long ago. The murderess was white woman, tall and angular, and 1t was said that she resembled what was popularly supposed to be witch far more than she did the up to date woman of that day. In fact, local history records that she practiccd witchcraft. No one ever knew where she came from, she hay ing dropped down" very mysteriously into the nelghbOrhood. where she killed family of four.
 old Jennie was not hanged on scaf- fold. In those days murderers were executed with as little trouble and ex- pense as possible. The vixen faced terror of all Somerset was placed in a cart drawn by two oxen and placed directly under a stout limb of an old oak tree which stood in the jail yard. The rope was fixed in rude fashion around her neck, amid the hurrahs of the crowd and the curses of the doomed woman, and when all was In readiness a bunch of fodder was placed ten paceS from the oXen's heads, and they were given the word to start. Obeying the command, they made a bee line for the fodder and left old Jennie dangling at the end of the rope.
 That day. It has been told thousands of times, was the darkest ever known in this section. Chickens remained on their roosts throughout the entire day, while candles by the score burned in | the houses that the servants might see to do their work The local scientists of that day were at joss to account for the strange phenomenon. and the graphic descriptions which they gave of 1t and which were recorded years ago make interesting reading.
 The darkies and superstitious whites of those days naturally thought that the end of time had come. A great many negroes declare today that the ghost of old Jennie may be seen stalk ing around on the edge of the woods near where she committed her crimes any time on dark, cloudy night. and they are very careful not to encounter her.

The folding umbrella, walking stick and sunShade. combination pieces of furniture and transformation gowns are all old stories, but the fan-parasol, or parasol-fan, as you will, is the lat est novelty designed for killing two birds with one stroke. It Is the inven- tiOu of Frenchwoman.
 Open. the sunshade looks like the ordinary article of It's kind, inclininG bit to the Japanese. Closed, 1t still appears as a sunShade If desired. But press q tiny spring, and, To, the rod has shortened to half its original length. the handle has doubled up and the covering has wrinkled itself on the ribs in even, regular undulations, and there you are with q pretty round fan that is just as serviceable to ere ate an artificial breeze as 1t was mo- ment ago to protect one from the sun.

COMING THIS MONTH.
More Farmers will Arrive in Randall County Thai
Ever Before to Make Their Permanent
Homes Here.

If the present indications keer
up, there will be the greatest in
fiux of farmers into Randall
county during the next three
months that there has ever been
in any county in the entire Pan
handle country which is equivie-
lent to saying that the immigra-
tion to this county will be the
largest ever enjoyed by any
county in the entire southwest
ern country. Every day comes
reports of farmers who are pre-.
pairing to come at a very early
date.
During the last excursion
there were no less than fourteen
men who brought and stated that
they would come just as soon as
they could arrange their matt ,rs
at their northern homes. They
all expect to bring with them
sufficient stock for their farm
ing purposes which will of course
increase the already large num-
Der of first class work stock
here.
This week, among other re-
ports come that Norris Root and
Bert Shain, farmers living near
Chillicothe, Illinois, has already
had their sale of personal goods
which they do not desire to
bring with them, and that they
would leave at very early date
for Canyon City, near which they
will make their home on lands
which they have bought.
The trainload of twenty-one
cars of household goods to leave
Wisner, Nebraska, on January
18th is assured and every one of
the large number of families re-
presented will be ready during
this week with all their stock
and household goods. These
people and their families will
come on this train, the railroad
having agreed to furnish sleeep-
ing cars for their accommoda-
ton.
