when John Doe" the prisoner who

is now on trial on one of four indict-
ments, was asked by Prosecutor Rath-
bun if his home was not in Newport,
VT. and his name not Gustin. The
mysterious man, who is called here
the ''great unknown seemed to be
excited by the questions, but he ans
wered them in the negative. When
asked if his name wasn't Gustin. he
said rather nervously: what name
did you say? How do you spell it,"
Before the prosecutor could repeat
it, the prisoner answered NO.
After these questions nothing was
said about his identity, but it was be-
lieved the prosecutor had something
CUP his sleeve" Immediately after
the cross-examination doe" was
committed for contempt of court and
held by Judge Mills until his sentence

Queer Furs.

"This is cat fur" said a furrier.
1--WE use it for Innings. An excellent
lining cat fur makes too. Dogs, calves,
colts, coons, opossums, bats, rats-any
animal that wears fur, In fact, is sala-
BILE in the fur market. Bat hair Is
felted up with other stuff into an imi-
tation skin. 1t is ako used, 1 believe,
in rope plating. The dog, the coon
and tn opossum yield a fur that, prop
erly treated, makes a very handsome
lining. Rat skins are employed In GER
tain delicate repairs, and they also
serve to form the thumbs Of cheap
gloves. A queer thing about the fur
business is that the furs must be taken
In the dead of winter. The trapper
must work under the cruelest climatic
conditions. Only thus is the fur at it's
best. The dresser, on the other hand,
who could work best in cold weather,
must do all his work in the heat Of
summer or otherwise he would not be
able to keep up with the changing

Dear Sirs:-I have derived such great

most important for the public TO know
It's worth. For the past ten years l
have been the most miserable of men.
Did not know what the trouble was but
had to urinate very frequently both day
and night; was all pulled up generally.
Could not sleep more than a couple of
hours at time, was greatly distressed
after eating a meal and was about worn
out. l had tried nearly everything l
could see advertised and hear of, with
out helping me to any great extent,
until finally in October last at Ripan,
Wis, purchased a one dollar bottle of
Swamp-ROot and commenced taking it
according TO directions and | followed
that with another bottle and experience
ed such great relief and benefit from
same that | purchased five dollars worth
at huntsville Ala, and continue to
its use and am now taking it, but in
smaller doses and twice day in place
Of four times day and believe by the
time present supply is used up will be
entirely well. / am feeling better now
than for ten years past. Can eat and
sleep first class, in fact | am feeling so
good that | cannot resist telling YOU
about it.. You are at liberty to publish

Our members will be delighted to
read the communication in this number
from the secretary of Irvington Lodge,
No. 2O5. 1t does us good to know that
here in Virginia we have more than one
lodge that seems to have solved the
problem of drops for non-payment of
dues, and that Bay View Lodge, No. IL,
at Rip Raps, is not the only lodge in
the Old Dominion which holds this en-
viable position. Odd Fellow.
Our dear friend, DR.. Wayland F.
Dunaway, who has been under the sur
geon's knife at the Memorial Hospital,
in Richmond, is steadily improving, and
hopes by Saturday of this week to leave
the hospital. 1t is his plan then to
spend several weeks with his son, Mr..
Clarence II. Dunaway, in Richmond,
before returning to his home in Ian
caster. He has been very sick and has
suffered much, but the Lord has graci-
ously sustained him, and he is very
cheerful and happy. 1t is good to see
him climbing steadily back to his won't
ed health. Indeed, there is every rea-
son to hope that he will henceforth be
stronger than for years past. Religious

will soon be arranged with Wicomico,
Reedville and Lancaster. For the bene-
fit of anxious mothers, it is well to state
that hereafter a separate conveyance
will attend all games, supplied with
such infantile needs as squills, syrups,
tea, cribs and soforth, so that when the
little ones are weary, there may be
refreshments at hand suited to their
years.
