the mill pond and the ticket soaked to
a pulp.
The carpenter who had made the
five dollar coffin Jumped bis claim to
$50 and demanded that he be protected
by having the ticket turned over 10
him. The sexton followed suit. The
doctor in the case who had admins.
tered only one dose of medicine had
not made out his bill yet. but when
he did it would be for at least $50
1t was case that had bothered him,
and he couldn't afford to be bothered
for less than half hundred
Then came a day when Scottsville
was almost swept Off its feet and left
gasping for breath. Along came Mr..
Jones, a cattle and hog buyer. He was
no old sport, but he knew n good
thing when he saw it. He always In.

that ticket In the city He had lost
1t on the road, and tramp had found
it. He must be handed bis property
or there would be such row as that
part of the state had never heard Of.
Mr.. Jones was good buffer. but
when 1t came to taking an oath be
faltered and was run out of town.
Then there came a deacon OF the
church from village a few miles
away. He came In humility and
shame, but still he came His village
wanted new church building. but the
members of that particular faith were
poor in purse. It had worried them,
but 1t worried the deacon worst of all.
He had figured every way he could.
but could see no light until be saw

turned TO 1t as a saving clause He

was no doubt the true story OF the

deacon's house by the tramp. but had

The day before the dra wing when II
did not seem that the excitement could
go higher without exploding some
thing, the drummer and the lightning
rod man returned They bid against
each other for the ticket Perhaps
they understood each other, but their
faces we're very grave as the bidding
stopped at $500. Then huge bonfire
had to be built to relieve the strain.
Few slept that night. and next day
public purse was made up TO send a
messenger TO the city for news of the

with him-oh. no! That would be TAX

DECORATED HIS SHIP.
Sir John Had Little Paint and Fine
Sense of Humor.

Sir John Had Little Paint and Fine
Sense of Hunor
It is not often the administration of
Englands naval affairs is attended
with any humorous features, but on
one occasion at least an officer of the
royal navy contributed quantity TO the
archives of the admiralty.
Once, before the days OF steel ships,
the allowance of paint in the royal
navy was very small. and sometimes
the officers had to pay large sums IN
order that their ships might maintain
q decent appearance. Sir John Philli.
more resorted to funny expedient
either to soften the heart of the navy
board or. If that proved impossible.
to express his opinion. He painted one
side of his yellow frigate black and
white and used the rest of the black
paint In printing on the other side IN
large letters. NO more paintf''
The navy board wrote to call his
attention to the improperly of his
conduct and signed themselves, as
they did officially. Your affectionate

he could not obiterate the objection

The naval authorities then called his
attention to the Improperly of the
signature. TO which Sir John respond

His frigate was permitted 20 retain
her original yellow, and thus the

THAT LOTTERY
TICKET
By M. QUAD
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1911. by Associated Lit
erary Press.

One day tramp who was plainly
on his last legs staggered into the vii
lage of Scottsville and dropped down
In the street In front of the tavern.
He was carried into the hosiery and
doctor sent for. and in two days he
was dead. The verdict at the inquest
was that he had died from sickness
and exposure.
When the coroner overhauied the
dead wayfarer's pockets he found lots
Of simple things and a ticket in a
Prussian lottery. This ticket was In
an envelope and had been kept clean.
1t was for a quarterly drawing
that would not take place for nine
weeks yet, and according to It's face
it might draw prize Of $4,000. No
one In Scottsville had ever seen such
q ticket before, and very little was
said or thought about It for three or
four days, or until a certain New York
drummer came 10 town on one of his
trips He was appealed to for infor-
nation, and his reply was:
well, 7 guess yes. I've bought
them myself. though I've never had
any luck. Why. I've known four diff
ferent men who have drawn fortunes
in that lottery It's backed by the
Prusian government and is as good
as forty national banks"
The drummer created an instant ex-
element about that ticket 1t started
right in as main topic OF CONVERSE
ton and held the place. Then light
ming rod man came along and offered
500 cash for 1t. He knew three men
who got their start in life by draw
ing large sums in that very lottery.
Three days later a hog drover came
along and made an offer of $3.50 for
the ticket. According to his story.

The Only Workshops Independent of
the Leather Trust
Why doesn't the shoe manufacturer buy
good leather?
Man alive, he cant! The Trust controls
the tanning industry of America. The ordi-
nary manufacturer has got to take Trust
tanned leather or shut his factory down.
There is only one shoe factory in this
country that is independent Of the Leather
Trust That concern is Endicott, johnson
& Co, and they make the most dependable,
sturdy workshops in the United States.
Shoes for the farmer, for the miner, for the
bricklayer, for the teamster-for all heavy
work and wet work outdoors and indoors.
They get good, old-fashioned leather be-
cause they tan it themselves in their own
tanneries They are the only shoemakers
in the world who tan every pound of leather
they put into their shoes.
Wonderful Endicott- Johnson Leather
Endcott-J johnson Work Shoes are made of
leather tanned and finished expressly for
Workshop purposes
Chrome tanned upper leather, heavy, tough
and strong, but pllable and soft--so that the
shoe will wear long time, be easy to the feet
and give them ample protection.

most durable sole leather ever produced

proof against wear.
Remember this "Kromelk" sole leather. 1t

They are handsome shoes-good lines anG
good style, because they are designed by t.

And they are finished just as carefully, too,

do not know how to make poor shoe.
Now you would naturally suppose the

same general type you ever wore.
How Price Is Kept Down
Endicott, Johnson & Co. make good leather
in their own tanneries at rock-bottom cost,
remember.
Endicott- Johnson shoes pay no prof

no exorbitant retail profits. Endicott.

fair margin on many sales-rather than a
big profit on smaller volume of business.

Shortly after the last train of the

Prior to the departure of the First

carefully policed. and the grounos had
the appearance of an entirely new
site.
Colonel Leedy and his staff were
welcomed into camp by General
Vaughan and staff. and soon there
after both Officer and men became
busy with the arrangements of their
personal effects.
Major Potts. quartermaster. was kept
busy during the entire day with the
movement OF the regiments.
Major Waring had provided the
necessary rations for the Second Reg

afternoon.

given this evening, and. it being sun
