Walks Ten Miles at 81.

D. L. Massingale, aged "a years,
walked in from the Suck Creek neigh
borhood Thursday, distance of ten
miles. He brought along basket of
eggs and after selling them, did lit
tie shopping. Then he visited Col.
Tomlinson Forts Office on legal bust
ness. After that was transacted, Col.
Fort became so interested in asking
questions about old times in this vicin-
ity the Indians, etc, that he did not
realize the flight of time until Mr..
Massingale informed him that he had
no more time to spare as he must start
home, and it would be quite walk

there i'll time for supper. Col. Fort
reluctantly excused him, but intends
to arrange for another visit soon, and

TATOM'S NARROW ESCAPE.
How He Missed BY Hair Being Late IN
Reporting as EeCtOr to Washington

byron Tatom is much indebted to
the Times and his wife, remarked a
local lawyer, yesterday. 1T was
mighty good joke on Byron He want
ed to be messenger and carry the cleo
toral vote of Tennessee to Washington.
He was selected over large opposition,
and the vote was delivered to him.
He had some fun in The Times about
the way the electors hid behind barred
doors, windows and transoms; then
cast it for Bryan and Kern, taking all
of those precautions for fear the re-
publicans at Nashville would break in
and compel them to cast it for Tart
and Sherman. l expect he lived In
dread lest the legislature, controlled by
republicans as it seems to be, might
pass a law undoing what the electors
had done, and requiring him to change
the electoral vote and substitute the
republican names for the others. In
fact, he said something Of the sort to
me. But the real joke is that he sat
L
down and looked up the law relating
to the time for delivering it in Wash
ington He found it all right, and it
said that he must have tho vote i'll
Washington before the second Monday
of February. That was all right. He
made arrangements accordingly and
felt serene. A dispatch came and was
published in The Times, stating that
the date had been changed by act OF
congress, so that the vote must be
there Monday, Jan 25, or he would be
subject to a big fine, Fl 1000, l believe.
There upon Byron Tatom hustled. He
telegraphed Senator Frazier, asking il
that was the law. The senator ans
wered that it was, and advised Byron
to hustle some more, and he hustled.
HE told me that if it had not been
for his wife's discovering the dispatch
and reading it to him, he would prob
ably have been left, after all, for il
had escaped his attention"

Mrs. Fiske's First Appearance.

Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske is one
of the noted actresses of the day who
has been on the stage practically all
her life. In an article, "Stage Child

Home Companion for February, Mrs.
Fiske's first appearance is told in her
own words:
6 Il was about three years old when
first began to appear in plays. An odd
incident occurred about that time,
when | had child parts in Shakespear

nonchalance of an old actor began to
improvise. My voice was shrill and
penetrating, and am toldI said some
thing like this
''Be lion mettled, proud, and take
no heed; there perspirers are!'
"'The audience went wild and Sui
livan almost collapsed. Take her
off !" he groaned, and l was lowered
out of sight.
"' After the play he took me aside
and gently promised me lollipors if /

liked the sound, so l promised. -

Last Day to File Suits.

Thursday was the last day that suits
against the Southern Steel Company
might be filed by creditors. 1t was one
year ago on that date since the COM
pany was declared bankrupt. All
suits against firm or corporation
must be filed within year from the
time the case is adiudicated. Perhaps
this will prove step further towards
settling up the affairs of the company,
so that the property may be made pro-
ductive instead of lying dormant.

Children
ORDINARY CATHARTIcS AND
PILLS AND HARSH PHYSIc
CAUSE DISTRESSING
COMPLAINTS.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should be given, except in emergency
cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics and
purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good. They cause gripping, nau-
sea and other distressing after-effects
that are frequently Notwithstanding
and a life-laSting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy for con-
stfpation and associate bowel disor-
ders. We have such absolute faith in
the virtues of this remedy that we sell
it on our guarantee of money back in
every instance. where it fails to give
entire satisfaction, and we urge all
in need of such medicine to try it at
our risk
Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless.
tasteless and colorless. AS an active
agent, it embraces the valuable quail
ties Of the best known intestinal reg
ulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy.
They are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looSeness or other undesirable effects.
They have very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as a positive and
regulative tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel and its dry
mucous lining; remove irritation, over
come weakness, tone and strengthen
the nerves. and muscles. and restore
the bowels and associate organs TO
more vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except when of a surgi-
cal character. They also tend to over
come the necessity of constantly TAX
ing laxatives to keep the bowels IN
normal condition.
There is really no medicine for this
purpose so good as Rexall OrderIies.
especially for children, aged and deli
cate persons. They are prepared in
tablet form, in two sizes of packages:
II tablets 10 cents, and SO tablets rs
cents. Remember you can obtain

II am awfully sorry, Edward" she
told him; but, you see, Mr.. Sommers
and 1 are going tonight to that play.
But l am sure he would be glad to
have you come along. I'll get one of
the girls, and we will make up

mo, thanks" the man retorted
shortly. 'I don't care anything for
the theater, you know. 1 only asked
because I thought you might wish to
see the play"
She smiled on him sweetIy.
81 know how self sacrificing you are,
Edward, about the theater; but, you
see, you need not bother while Mr..
Sommers is here. You have been aw-
fully good to me about it, but now you
can have a long rest, because, you see,
he is devoted to it, and he says he gets
ashore so seldom that he likes to go at
every opportunity. Isn't that nice for
you?"
"Of course that is all right, Frances"
he agreed sti6iy, ''but any time you do
wish to go it will be q great pleasure
for me to take you. If were you 1
would not go out too much with this
naval whippersnapper. You know how
people talk, and you don't want to get
the gossips wagging their tongues
about you and a penniless naval lieu
tenant. It's easy to start gossip in
Pittsburg, you know"
The girls head came up sharply, and
her smile was dangerously bright as
she replied:
THAT is awfully sweet Of you, Ed

val officers, but don't you think that n
man who can invent a new gun is
quite as good as man who can mere
" make one? And then, Edward, dear,
even you might be practically penni-
less if father had not started you"
And, smiling, she left him with his
jaw set tight and every nerve muscle
Quivering with anger.
"PennileSs," he muttered at last. "a
man who invents guns as good as a
man who merely makes them. / am a
puddler or a mechanic. l suppose. in
