said he has not sold single stamp

any incoming or outgoing mails.
The people explain that they have
no friends to write to, and that
they do not receive any mail, and
that they are all too busy anyhow.

Ironsport since 1909. mines are
running full time, and every miner

partment disbanded, the chief de-
claring there had been no arrests
made within six months and that 1t

A Maltese kitten owned by Edward
Giffel, chief clerk in the office of the
Ohio Oil company, in Carlyle, Ill.
travelled more than one hundred miles
in eight days in coming on home,
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Before the oil boom in this city Mr.
and Mrs. Giffel made their home nine
miles north of Bridgeport, more than
one hundred miles east Of Carlyle. A
few weeks ago they moved to this
city. Giffel brought the kitten with
him, but it seemed dissatisfied, and
finally disappeared mysteriously.
One day Giffel received a letter
from the kittens old home announcing
It's safe arrival there. Whether II
made the trip on foot or ''bummed" its
way in a railroad train is not known,
but the fact has been established be
yond a reasonable doubt that the "cat
went back" in eight days.

THE SECRET OF. SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
PEOPLES Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the man
ufacturer. This applies more particu-
larry to medicine. A medicinal prep
aration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recon-
mended by those who have been cured,
to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject
prominent local druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it
shows immediate results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that / know of has so
large SALE"
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the tact that it fulfils
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address DR..
Kilmer g. Co., binghamton, N Y, and
mention this paper. Regular size bot
ties sold at all druggists-50c. and
$1.00.

3ABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when | removed his
shirt.
1--WE tried q great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before / could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and

edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

The lap and the Russ.

Admiral Togo, at luncheon in New
York, told story that recalled the
Russo-Japanese war.
I'm your city of Washington, he
said, 'in those troubled days when 1t
was pretty certain Russia and Japan
would have to fight, Russian and a
Japanese met at dance.
Politely enough the two men dis,
cussed the coming war, and then, as
they were about to part, the Russian
said:
"T won't bid you goodby, but au
revoir. I'll soon be in Tokyo, you
know, drinking your health in cham

his head and smiling, Pm afraid my

In an elegantly furnished modern
house found Abbas Edendi seated
on sofa, waiting for me. He is
a striking figure in any garb, and
when clad in white tarboosh, or
fez, with white cloth wound around
it, Moslem Style, and long gray outer
cloak of mohair, like a motor coat,
and two white cloaks beneath it, he
would attract attention anywhere. He
resembles, in appearance and manner,
General Booth of the Salvation Army,
more than any other man recall. He
has the same Roman nose, the same
restless, hawk-like eye, the same silver
beard and shaggy iron gray locks, the
same transparent skin.
AS he speaks Abbas Effendi opens
wide his big gray eyes beneath his
bushy eyebrows, and looks directly at
one, giving an appearance of unsim-
ulated interest and sincerity. He is
a restless person-doubtless those 40
odd years as a prisoner have left
their mark on his nerves-and through
cut the interview he wriggled and
twisted his body, sometimes revealing
the folded red bandana handkerchief
upon which he sat; sometimes cooking
his fez to the back of his head, and
again to the side, and sometimes rak-
ishly forward until it rested on the
high bridge of his nose All the
while he was talking he twiddled in
his long white hands a string of moth
er-of-pearls beads, such as gentlemen
commonly carry In this part of the
world. Altogether, he looks the part
of benevolent old gentleman with
considerable force of character.
This positiveness was shown during
the interview. A gentle-faced young
Englishran, who looked filter for ESQ.,
teric discussions than for the football
field, had been doing the interpreting,
Abbas Effendi speaking in Persian.
The most difficult form of interpreta-
ton is that of a discussion Of abstract
themes, and early saw that the young
mans renderings were inadequate; my
host saw it, also; and peremptorily or
dered one other of his attendants to
repeat what he said, sentence by SEN
tehce.
In the room during the conversation,
besides the two men mentioned, was

my hosts knowledge of the ancient
and so-called ethical faiths proved

Beharists in America.
After the pleasant generalizations
with which the conversation opened,
asked Abbas Effendi concerning the
number Of his disciples in America,
for this has been put as high as a
million. He himself avoids the use
of the word disciples" but does not
object to it's employment by others.
could not get him to give even approx
innate figures; he contented himself
with saying that he had many friends
in America and that there are regular
| spiritual gatherings of these in Wash
ington, Boston and Chicago. It is evil
IDENTIFY with these eenters that he con-
ducts his correspondence, for the
names frequently required.
AS to the number of Behaists in the
world he was equally vague, but wholly
honest. When said that friend from
Persia had told me that fully half the
people n Persia are Behaists, he
promptly declared that he thought this
| number entirely too high. Equally
candid was he in saying that there are
practically no Behaists in Turkey; the
following is found chiefly in Persia,
and then in India, America, Great Brit
ain, and scattering in other coun-
tries. Quality" he remarked, sis
more important than quantity; better
five diamonds than a hundred peb-
bles." Abbas Effendi has considerable
aptness in the art of illustration; this
was further shown when we got on the
main track of the meaning of Behaism.
An AII-lnciusive Religion.
"All religions said Abbas Effendi,
ARE substantially the same; there is
no real difference The difference is
only in names. There were once a
Turk, Greek, a Persian and an Arab.
