CorsI That Shocks.

On the coast Of the West Indian
islands a curious kind Of coral is
found, called "miIlepoca," This has a
most extraordinary property which
makes the people who know 1t very
shy of handling it. The moment you
pick up a piece a sort Of electric thrill
runs through you and an agonizing
pain shoots through your jaws. You
feel as If every tooth and every nerve
and muscle connected with them was
burning. The acute pain lasts gener-
ally for about half an hour and slowly
passes of. but the effects do not dis
appear entirely for hours. The reason

Jules Sandeau relates that one time
while living In Paris Balzac locked
himself up In his room for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights. refusing
to see any one and keeping the cur
tains closed and the lights continually
burning even In broad daylight. The
only human being he saw during this
time was his servant. whom he rang
for when he felt the need Of food and
which he washed down with numerous
cups OF coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ex-
hausted from lack OF sleep, and he re-
mained In complete ignorance Of what
was transpiring outside. the state Of
the weather and even Of the time and

self from this voluntary captivity

began when he entered his prison.

KEEP KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and
Some Johnson City People
Know How to Save 1t.

Many johnson City people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsible
for vast amount of suffering and III
health, but there is no need to suffer nor
to remain In danger when most all dis
eases and aches and pains due to weak
Kidneys can be quickly relieved by the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a

ATTRACTION AT
MEMORIAL HALL.

A. G. Delamater and William Nor
ris, althougha a comparatively new firm
OF theatrical managers, have in a re-
markably short time established them
selves in the very front rank of produc-
ers of high class attractions. Their
productions of Beverly" dramati-
zation of Geo. Barr MeCutcheon's most
successful novel "Beverly of Graus-
tark, to be presented at the Memorial
Hall, matinee and night, Thursday,
August 81, closed a successful eight
weeks engagement at the Studebaker
Theatre, Chicago, last spring, playing
10 gross receipts exceeding $49, 600, and
receiving the unanimous endorsement
OF the entire Chicago press. The dram
atlzation of Mr.. McCutcheon's popular
novel by Robert M. Baker is conceded
to be more fascinating play than
story, as all the characters in the book
are retained in the play. The caste in
cludes Justina Wayne, formerly lead
ing woman with Nat Goodwin and
Cyril Scott in The Prince Chap;p
Lawrence Evart, for six years leading
man with Walker Whiteside; Davidson
Clark, who has played leading heavies
with many of the prominent dramatic
stars, and has been prominent in high
class stock companies; Hazel Harroun,
formerly with Mrs. Fiske in "Tess of
the D'Urbervilles;" Edith Berwyn, for
two seasons with David Belasco's
"Sweet Kitty Bellairs;" Lillian Allen
De We're, formerly with "The Clans
man, I" and sixteen other metropolitan
players. The scenic production is by
Castle & Harvey, who have to their
credit Wright Lorimer's +" Shepard
King" Mrs. Fiske's and Mr.. Belasco's
productions. While the play has been
carefully staged through the courtesy
of Mr.. Belasco and Mr.. Warfield, by
Oscar Eagle, formerly general stage
director of Liebler & Co.'S productions,
and at present stage director of Mr..
Warfield's company. In fact, no ex-
pense has been spared either as to cast,
scenic production or staging to make
"Beverly' one of the strongest dramat-
ic attractions ever on tour.

MEN DO NOT DIE
ALL OVER AT ONCE

1t has been discovered that If a hui
man being dies after an ordinary illness
and not by violent death he does not
die all over and all at once, says Les
lies Weekly. He may have a diseased
liver, heart or lung, and this may be
the cause of his death; but it has been
found that if the diseased organ could
have been replaced by healthy one
life might have been maintained indef-
initely. This is no Imagination or spec
ulation. 1t has been confirmed by the
most careful experiments by the ablest
medical scientists in the country. These
experiments have been made possible
by the munificence of John ID. Rookie
feller in endowing his institute for med
ical research in New York city, which
has attracted worldwide attention.

YOUR BOY

You do not know what there is il

Feed him, elothe him, love him. He il
boy, and most boys are bad. Yor
think him light-hearted, and fear thai
he is light-headed as well. But remem
Der he calls you father. When he play
ed on your lay, you foudly hoped he
would some day be great and useful
man. Now that he has grown larger
and his young blood drives him into
gleeful sports and makes him impati
ent of serious advice-rattling, playful
thoughtless-you almost despair. But
don't be snappish and snarlish and
make him feel that you were disapoint
ed in him. He bears your name, and
is to send it ON down the stream oi
time. He inherits your fortune and
fame, and is TO transmit them TO gen.
GRAFTON to come.
1t cannot be otherwise. A daughter
divids your fortune, transmits less Of
your fame, and loses your name. A
boy is more nearly yourself than any
thing else can be. It is through your
boy that you go. down in history;
through your boy that you are to live
in the future. by him you are to act
upon the generation that is to come.
1t may be difficult 10 govern him,
but be patient. He may seen averse to
everything useful and good, but wait.
No one can tell what is in the boy. He
may surprise you some day. Hope.
Let him grow. While his body grows
larger and Stronger, his mortal and
mental nature may expand and inn
prove.
Educate your boy. You may think
that money spent in that way is money
spent in vain; there is nothing in him,
he has no pride nor aspiration. You
don't know. No one can tell what is in
a boy. Besides, there may be an un-
kindled spark, an Unframed fame, a
smoldering fire. latent energy to de.
velop and direct and thus start your
boy going with such energy and deter
that no power on earth could
stop him short of the topmost round in
the ladder of fame.
If you cannot educate him, let him
educate himself. That is the best way.
That will make him strong, giant
with whom no one dase interfere.
Such are the best men in the world.
The greatest benefactors of the race
have stopped their shoulders to bear
burdens, have been hardened by rough
labor, have endured the fatigue OF toll.
many such are in our minds now.

morrow, following twenty days ses-

of death. Although the figures are not
official, it is said that nearly $50 have
died since April. The board is having
some trouble in providing for the wild

BURLESON IS PURCHASED
BY BROOKLYN BUNCH

New York, Aug. 22.-'I am not only
trying to strengthen the Brooklyn ball
team for next year, but am looking for
ward to 1915" said President Charles
H. Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club today
in discussinfi his many recent purchas-
es of players and exercise of options on
others.
"Developing ball club is like gong
into the nurseryman's business. You
set out the sprigs this year, but you
have to wait any where from one to
three years before they are of any value.
A case in point is Burleson, the pitch
er Ihave bought from Mobile, Ala. /
have been killed because he had won
one and lost eight games when the
averages were last investigated, but the
figures do not always show pitchers
value. / am sweet on him. Burleson
is very much like Wild Bill Donovan
of Deteoit, who is nothing short Of a
pitching marvel. Donovan bored holes
through the grandstand netting, and
an ambulance had to be kept ready to
carry away the catchers he murdered
by misguided shots. He finally got
control, came back to Brooklyn, and
his records since his return to the big
leagues has made baseball history.
Burleson may never equal my expecta-
tons, and may always be wild, but he
has shown me enough to make me
willing to gamble.

CONVENTION FOR OCT. 4
Interest Being Awakened Among
the Sons of Confederate Heroes
and Big Meeting Desired.
Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 2S, 1911.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 28, 1911.
To the Sons of Confederate Veterans
Over the "Volunteer State:"
Much has been done and ia being
done by our noble mothers and sisters
in making glad the last days Of our
gallant and liberty-loving fathers who
so heroically went to the front during
the period of civil strife from 1881 to
1865, and who fought for the defense OF
their homes and their firesides, and for
what they believed to be right. Com
paratively little has up TO this time
been done by the Sons of Confederate
Veterans along any welI-dehned and
organized line Of endeavor. 1t IL the
duty and privilege of the sons TO see
to it that only truthful history con-
cerning the civil strife is taught in the
schools of our state. 1t Is = further
privilege Of the SONS to urge not only
continued but further action on the
part of our Lawmakers in providing
for the relief of Confederate soldiers
who need assistance, and to cooperate
with the daughters of the Confederacy
in handing down TO the coming gener-
ations the true story Of the Confederate
heroes.
The last annual meeting Of the Sons
of Veterans was held In Little Rock,
Ark, at the time OF the Confederate
re. union late In the past spnng. and
Tennessee was scarcely REPRESENTED ut
that great gathering. There is no
question in regard to the sons Of Ten.
nessee revering the memory OF the
Confederate soldier, or Of his readiness
TO assist in any worthy call shat may
be made upon him. AT the same time,
the sons of Tennessee are sadly lacking
in organization, and without organiza.
tion nothing In the way Of a definite or
practical work can be undertaken, and
unless We undertake something, moth
ing will be accomplished worth the
while.
AS the Tennessee commanders for the
ensuing year, will hold myself in
readiness TO respond TO any calls that
may be made upon me from any OF the
towns In Tennessee where the sons de-
sire to organize. In connection with
adjutant-generaI aud chief OF staff, Ma
than Bedford Forrest, Of Memphis, the
state is being divided into number of
sections, and brigade commander and
his staff will be appointed and an
nounced in the immediate future.
A convention of the Sons of Veterans
Is hereby called to meet in Murfreesbo-
ro, Tenn, on October IL, at which time
the Confederate Veterans Of the state
will be in session, and 1t is hoped that
delegates will be present from all sec
