nen fought Eize-AMERICANa
Forth and back over the deck
the battle ragged. Men fell to be
cast aside without a pause. The
treacherous dirks of the black
men leaped for the throats OF the
Americans, and here and there
men fell to the deck, slippery with
blood, to renew the battle in a
close and deadly embrace.
And when the work was done,
those terrified blacks who were
left alive leaEed in horror into
the blacker water.
The Philadelphia was too big a
ship to take out of the harbor
without drawing the shots of the
enemy that everywhere surround
ed them. She was fired and left
to her fate.
AS tn flames arose against the
velvety black sky in columns of
crimson, the shore batteries of the
enemy belched out toward the
AFRICANS, who were now scurry-
ing away in their ketch as noise
lessly as they had come. The load
ed guns of the Philadelphia, be-
coming red hot, exploded, and as
though directed by the hand of
Providence many of the shots hit
in the city and did great damage.
Three or four hundred Tripolitans
lost their lives. But TWO Ameri-
cans were killed.
Like the glowing embers OF the
Philadelphia which sank that
night beneath the silent waves,
the power of the Barbary pirates
was snuffed Out forever.

admiral, spoke of tbs daring deed

Guests at Wake Robin Lodge,
the California home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack London, were talking
one evening about man who had
Tbeaten" his way around the
world. Somebody said woman
would never have the nerve to do
such a thing. "I'll wager Mrs.
Gilbert would make the trip, if
she was dared" said London. The
dare was promptly given, and as
q result Mrs. Hilda Gilbert will
sail from New York Feb. 4, with
her maid, 5000 and a guitar. The
5000 is to get them over the At
Iantic, but they must complete
the world trip with that much cash
on hand. They will land at Glib
Iraltar. The route outlined in
lcludes Algiers, Alexandria, Cairo,
South Africa, India, Japan and the
Philippines.
II can sing and play the guitar.
I shall take care to play only to
those who appreciate good music.

WHAT EVERY WOMAN |
SHOULD KNOW

Feathers uncurled by damp
weather are quickly dried by shak-
ing over fire, in which salt has
been thrown.
A pinch of salt on the tongue,
followed 10 minutes afterward by
a drink of cold water, often cures
sick headache.
1t is a good plan to wipe out all
greasy utensils with a piece of soft
paper before washing. This simpli-
flies the washing process. Destroy
the paper Immediately.
To remove marks and scratches
on unfinished furniture, steam it
under wet newspaper and a hot
flatiron. This must be done only
if the furniture has a dull finish.
If windows stick and are hard to
open the difficulty can be rene
died by pouring a teaspoonful of
melted lard between the fl anne and
casing and rubbing a little on the
rope.
Burning old papers in a CRATE is
likely to cause the chimney TO
catch fire. To prevent this accident,
make the papers into bundles and
Iput some wire around them. They
may then be safely burned, for
they will burn slowly in the graJe,
almost like a log of wood. The
same wire may be used again and
Iagain.
Nails used in bathrooms and
kitchens on which, damp cloths and
towels may be hung should tie
painted with enamel, SO that they
do not leave rusty marks.
Horseradish for sauce should be
dried whole in a slow oven and
then rubbed on crater kept for
the special purpose. Prepared in
this way the sauce is always
smooth and good.
To remove iron mold from mar
BILE rub the marble with a cut
lemon dipped in common salt. If
this does not remove the stain try
rubbing it with spirits of ammon-
ia, which is often successful when
|other treatments fail. In either
case it is we'll to afterward rinse
the spot and polish 1t with a soft
cloth.

The meat is very tender and we'll

next day turn meat and water into

An Erroneous Report.

statement, purporting to have been
made by me and hereinafter quoted
has been circulated around Rusk
county Such "a report is a mali
cious fabrication, as I have never

HEED THE WARNING
Many Ladysmith People Have Done
So.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored By examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder many
days of suffering may be saved, Sick
kidneys expel dark, ill-smelling ur-
inc, full of "brickdust' sediment and
painful in passage. Sluggish kidneys
cause a dull pain in the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired
languid feelings and frequent rheu-
matte twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only; they help sick kidneys
to rid the blood of uric poison. If
you suffer from any of the above
symptoms you can use no better rem
edy.
Read the statement that follows
Mrs c.. B. Rowells, of Ogema, Wis
says: Il took Doan's Kidney Pills
about three years ago and | found
that this remedy lives up to all the

BULGARIAN "KoIeda."

In Bulgaria ''Koleda," as Christians
Is called, is marked with many quaint
ceremonies. One is called "Koledars,"
the name given to a band of boys,
mostly, who go about proclaiming that
the season of fasting is over, and her
aiding a reign of feasting and merri-
ment. Each Koleda party numbers
Beven-the Old Man, the Old Woman
the Crumb Picker (who collects the
presents and money, while the Old
Man and Old Woman play the fooD,
and Four Singers, who carol out the
Christmas songs. The attire of the
Koledars is most grotesque, and their
procession is joined by huge crowd
of townspeople, who take a great de-
light in the antics of the testers.
