for burglarizing a Southern Pacific
boxcar at Lovelovk. was sentenced TO
one year in the penitentiary late Sat
urday afternoon. Attorney Warren.
who had been appointed counsel for
the friendless youth, made an elo-
qnent appeal to the Court in the boys
behalf, and suggested that sentence be
deferred for 30 days, in order that the
board of pardons, which will meet in
January, might investigate the case
and perhaps save the prisoner the
odium of a term in the penitentiary.
This might have been done had not the
boys physical condition been such as
to demand immediate medical treat
ment which the facilities in the county
Jail would not permit.

Stronq Even In Death.

A yew tree almost destitute of
branches or bark grows abundantly in
the Caucasus to a height of from fifty
to sixty feet and a diameter of q little
over two feet. 1t grows slowly, but
its timber is almost indestructible ex-
cept by fire. 1t is considered superior
In durability, appearance and tough

somewhat resembles. In some large

The Revolution.

Who knows why this country is not
part Of the British empire? Because,
you will say, the early Americans OBJ
jected to the British system Of taxa
ton without representation. That is
what most of the histories say, but 1t
Is not quite true. In the first place, the
colonists objected to taxation with or
without representation when the mon
ey was to be used for an army to keep
out the Indians. The %eolonists were
foolish enough to think that such an
army was not needed. But after they
had begun their war and called them
selves independent the British govern
ment agreed to all the demands the
colonists had made. There was no
longer any danger of taxation without
representation. The Americans were
left without anything very important
to fight for legally, but that did not
stop their fghting.-Chicago News.

The Root Juice demonstration at
the Lauer drug store is causing
much talk here. The scientist has
hundreds of testimonials from peo-
pie who were cured by the great
remedy. The following letter from
~Logansport is a fair sample: in
the latter part of last winter while
the Root Juice people were In Log
ansport, / heard of many astonishing
cures the remedy had made and was
making, but l thought it was only
talk. Finally n of my neighbors
got some of the medicine. She had
suffered a long time with her stom-
ach. After she had used the juice
about two weeksI could hardly real
lie that she was the same woman
She had increased wonderfully in
flesh, her complexion had cleared UP
and she was looking better than I
had ever seen her and her health
continues to remain good. At that
time my wife and daughter were
sick. My wife's condition was SO
serious that she was unable to get
out of bed without assistance. Her
joints were sore, stiff and painful.
Her fingers and toes were cramped
"iihoot USELESS ana my
was suffering very much with her
stomach and back. / got one of the
circulars that came with my neigh
boris medicine and after reading it
over, I said to my wife, Mother, you
and daughter must have some of
that medicine She tried to per-
suade me to leave it alone as they
had tried so many things without
any benefit, but l drove to town that
same day and bought some of the
Root Juice and some of the liniment
that is used with it. After using
the great medicine a few days, my
wife and daughter were out of pain
and in a few weeks they were en-
tirely cured and their health is al
most perfect now. l want every sick
person to know just what the won
derful medicine did in my family.

fist claims that Root Juice DON
heals and tones the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Many people
claim that the first dose of the juice
created marked improvement. We
are informed that the demonstration
will continue a few days at the
Lauer drug store. This remedy is
sold for one dollar a bottle or three
bottles for two dollars and a half.

nous freaks that were ever shown In
American museums. They were Chi
nese boys born at Bang Becklong and
taking their title from the country
where they were brought up. Their
names were Eng and Chang. The ba-
bies, born In 1925, were united by a
band Of flesh that stretched from the
breast OF one to the breast Of the
other. They were brought to America
when they were little more than chill

A most remarkable little man is
Prince Atom, the smallest midget in
the world. The prince, who is soon to
visit this country, stands just a little
over two feet high and is built in ex-
cellent proportion. Although such a
tiny fellow, he is the o of parents of
normal size. He is we'll educated,
speaking several languages. His title,
of course, Is purely fanciful, as he is
not of royal blood.
For his size the prince is endowed
with considerable muscular strength,
and he is a skilled acrobat. Being
fond Of active sports, the little man has
become expert In tumbling and other
athletic feats. Recently he appeared
before the children of the crown prince
of Germany at Berlin and won their
hearts no less by his wit than his
physical feats.
