 The last word in the use of this prep aration seems to be that 1t Is invaluable as quick and sure test for blood in- fected with tuberculosis. It's therapeu- tic value is more probematical. It Is evident that 1t Is no antitoxin, or even a comparative cure for tuberculosis. Yet it has repeatedly enabled patients in the secondary stage to rally md when used in connection with sensible fresh air and dietetic treatment has an undoubted value as a sort of stimulating infusion in tuberculosis infected blood.

 The interior of the modern fort Is re- plete with interest, for the modern gun is indeed an engine of war. In deep, con crete pits the monsters, like rattlesnakes. lie coiled on the top of vast pile of steel wheels, and mechanism, novel in- deed to the layman.
 The gun crew stands to one side at 'at- tention' until the command of the officer rings out. Then there is a turning of a wheel here and there and the gun slowly rises on four steel legs until it's muzze is level with the top of the pit, there is roar, a cloud of smoke and before one has time to realize what has happened the gun is crouched as 1t was before. the gunners have slipped another shell into the breech and 1t Is again ready.
 The accuracy of the coast defense gun ners Is wonderful, and today the various fort companies are sending in reports of perfect scores, something that few years ago would have been laughed at as being even thought possible. When Brigadier General Arthur Murray referred to the first of these perfect scores in his annual report he cited 1t as an example that would not likely be duplicated, but be- fore the report was published there were other reports.o of perfect scores to come in, and he changed his mind.
 Among the batteries that have perfect scores to their credit are those at San Diego, Cal; Fort Strong and Fort Banks, Mass; Fort Dade, Fla. and Fort Wright. N. Y. These scores were made with 10 and 12 inch rifles at ranges varying from

TUST bit of landscape, nothing
 that would attract the slightest at- S tention or mark 1t as being any more or less than any other part of the several miles lapped by the water that one might see. True, on closer observa- tion there is a sort of tank-like looking object upon spindles, but what of that? Might 1t not be, merely water tank on some seashore farm?
 As one gazes at the landscape there is light puff of smoke, something that sends half a ton of water a hundred feet high drops within a few hundred yards, there is dull.- muffied boom, and one re- alizes that before them Is a fort.
 The forts of but a few decades ago stood high and prominent, their massive ness denoting their strength and signi- flying power. In their high, straight walls, pierced with rows and rows of ports through which protruded the mug zles of guns, one could not help from being impressed with the dignity of the pile of stone and the frowning guns.
 Picturesque, indeed. are these old for tificatIons, many of them with wide, deep moats surrounding them-precautionary against an attack by land-but they have no more of a place in the modern game of war than have the high-sided, lofty spared and whlte-canvassed sailing craft that fought in the wars of 40 years ago.
 The exterior of the modern fortress, and particularly the coast defense, Is to- tally without an attractive feature. The mile or so of the lana occupied by the artillerymen, looking at it from the sea side, is purposely kept In harmony with the miles of land that stretch away in either direction.

 But fresh air is to be the first thought of the attendants on the Dutch royal heiress. All windows will be opened and the seven apartments for the new prin- cess will be kept simply furnished. Thus it is the simple life that has offered an opportunity for continued existence for European royalty, which, if the old habits of dissipation had been continued, would not have maintained It's prestige with modern European races many decades longer. t -a

It Was the Bloodiest Massacre That Has Taken Place on American Soil-Weatherford Tried to Restrain His Savage Warriors, But They Were Thirsty for Blood.

weatherfords own story or for' adims-the story of the war leader who commanded the Creeks at that famous massacre is given In this letter oi General Thomas s. Woodward. Wea'h- erford told him the story or the i'sh' as they sat together by a camp ire or che banks of Ptnchong Creek, In Moht- gomery county short time alter wards.
 This part of the "Reminiscences oi General Woodward Is therefore the richest of pioneer history. The story of Fort Mims Is the story or the bloodiest massacre that ever took place anywhere in the United States In the various wars between the whites ana Inc Indians. More than 500 people were brutally murdered and scalped Tn this frontier fort which was located near the Tensaw River in the upper part of Baldwin county. Naturally weatherford's story presents his course fin the best possible light, but beyond doubt he tried to restrain the undis- ciplined and savage Indians who were ostensibly under his command, TOT ne foresaw that as a result Of a general massacre the whites would rise In other states and the Creeks would De destroyed. as they were.
 The Fort Mims massacre fired the spirit and determination of the white people of Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi Territory. Three armies marched against the Creeks; the Mississippians under Claiborne who at- lacked the Creeks at Holy Ground near the line between Montgomery and Lowndes County and defeated them the Georgians under General Floyd who were attaaked by the Indians at Caleebe Creek, near the Montgomery and Macon county line and who scat tered the large, but poorly equipped band of savage and the Tennesseans and regular soldiers under General Jackson who fought the battle of the Horse Shoe where for all time the power of the warlike Creeks was broken.
 General Woodward as sergeant participated in the fight at Caleebe Creek. WeatherforJ was in the fight at Fort Mims and at Holy Ground and he was near Caleebe Creek but did not take part in the fight When the Bat tie of the Horse Shoe was fought weatherford was in hiding on Moniac's Island in the Alabama River a short distance below Montgomery.
 These fights are more or less de- scribed in the account of General Woodward feature of special inter- est is his description of the escape of Weatherfori from Holy Ground A tradition which has become firmly embedded in Alabama history has it that the War Leader spurred his horse To the edge of the bluff and made him jump to the waters below. Then swimming horse and rider escaped to the other side of the river. General Woodward gives the warriors own ac- count of his escape. which was not so spectacular, but which was equally dangerous. To this day passengers on Alabama steamboats are shown IrWeatherforjs Bluff" and told the ttory of the horse and rider springing from the bluff into the river-Edi- korial Note)

WOODwARD'S ESTIMATE OF
 WEATHERFORD'S CHARACTER
Wheeling. winn Parish, La.

October, 1858
 Now let us return to Weatherford
 He was a man of fine sense. great courage, knew much Of our govern ment and mankind in general-had lived with his half-brother Davy Tate, who was an educated and well inform ed man-had been much with his brother-in-law Sam Moniac who was always looked upon as being one of the most intelligent half-breeds in the nation and was selected by Alexander McGillivray for interpreter at the time he visited General Washington in New York. Although 1t has been said that McGilllvray mastered the Latin and the Greek languages and although the letters of Alexander Leslie are pub lished to the world as Alexander Mo Gillivray's productions. McGillivray knew too well, how matters stood and relied on Moniac. I have often seen a Moniac. He always kept it on his person and 1t Is with him in his grave at Pass Christian.
 Some time in April. in 1874. on the west bank of the Pinchong in Mont gomery county and by camp fire, l heard Weatherford relate the follow ing particulars about the Creek War: He said that some few years before the war white man came from Pensacola to Tuckabatchy. He re- mained some time with Big Warrior. The white man was a European and he thought a Scotchman. He remained some time with Big Warrior: that he never knew the white mans business nor did he ever learn; that all the talks between the Big Warrior and this man were through negro interpreter that belonged to the Warrior; that he, weatherford has seen the man several times, and more than once he asked the man how many warriors he thought the Creeks could raise The man disappeared from the nation and shortly afterwards Tuskenea. the old est son of the Big Warrior took a trip

Governor Needs Poultry Farm to

 The governor is stocking his farm near Decatur with fowls from far and near and of high and low degree. But still the chickens don't come fast enough, and on advice of George Yum lin. keeper of public buildings. he has put in an incubator.

Rheumatic
Pains

My mother is a great suf-
ierer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

AS we CAD about from mountain to

vanishing and that solidity that has
made Virginia great, growing beauti-
fully among our people. A decade or
more ago it was the popular thing
for our public speakers to go among
the mountaineers and tell them that
they were of a superior type of men,
that all they need was chance to
outstrip the world, the flesh and the
Scandinavians. This popycock was
soothing, OF course, and gave the
speakers brief boost on the popular
wave, but it resulted in harm for two
reasons. First, it was not the truth,
and secondly, it fostered conceit in
the minds of the people. The proper
doctrine to preach is the true doc
trine, namely, we are all North Caro-
liniaps from Murphy to Manteo. The
ancestors of the mountain men once
dwelt in the level lands of the East.
The same blood courses through our
veins. Scotchmen and Englishmen,
German and Irish are not better or
stronger because they happen to live
in the shadow of a mountain. We
are all getting closer to each other.
State pride, rather than sectional
conceit, is at a premium. The vast
water power of the West is a matter

and more to blame, but the world
spared him q breath OF shame. Be-
meath his feet he saw her lie. hut he
raised his head and passed her by.
They were the people who went to
pray, at the temple of God on that
holy day. They scorned the woman,
forgave the man; twas ever thus
since the world began.
Time passed on and the woman
died; on q cross of shame she was
crucifed. The world was stern and
would not yield, and they buried her
in potter's field. The man died,
