CLUB FEDERATION DAY
Langdon Woman's Club Had Swell
Social Function Last Week

The Langdon woman's club met on
Tuesday afternoon of last week, which
bears the distinction of being "Federa-
tion Day" on the clubs program, with
Miss Tessie jackson and members to the
number of about fifty and their friends
were present. The two delegates Mes
danes Hunter and Scadeng, of the
Langdon club to the state federation,
recently held at the Forks, presented
their report of the gathering, which was
full of interest. Following the usual
order of business, the committee on
social entertainment, consisting of Miss
jackson and Mesdames w. B. Dickson,
j. H, Balm, W. A. Mcintyre and @. E.
Johnston, took charge. The ladies
present had come prepared to represent
some noted woman, and the entertain
ment consisted IN trying to guess the
identity of the woman represented.
The range of characters im]personated
was wide and varied, Carrie Nation
and the famous s%uffragettes predominant
ing. Mrs. Fred Ober distinguished her.
self by naming the greatest number of
noted women correctly. The beautiful
decorations of yellow chrysanthenums'
and small baskets of wheat, together
with the accessories of the dainty re-
freshments served made one realize the
nearness of Thanksgiving.

In time of kidney danger Doan's Kid

Plenty of evidence of their worth.
Mrs. John Crawford, Langdon, N. Dak.,
says: "Four or five years ago Doan's
Kidney Pills were first brought to my
attention and I got a supply. l was then
suffering from a dull, heavy pain in the
small of my back, which had chung to
me for at least three years. Mornings
when l got up, I felt stiff and lame and
while at work, the least exertion tired
me. I was subject to headaches and
dizzy spells aud other difficulties were
present which proved that my kidneys
were out of order. Reading of Doan's
Kidney Pills, I was led to try them and
I was glad to find that they we're just
the medicine I required. The contents
of three and one-half boxes restored my
kidneys to normal condition and drove
away all my pains and aches. The
benefit I received has been lasting and
consequently I take pleasure in telling
of my experience"

TROOPS TEST HUGE hnoRTARS
AstiIIerymen at Honolulu Make a
Small Percentage Firing at
Target.

Honolulu Artillerymen engaged in
target practice with 12-inch mortars
beyond Diamond Head attempted to
demonstrate that it is possible to de-
stroy any hostile warship at a long dis
lance by mortars.
The firing was at a small target set
1890 yards off shore. In ten shots
fired there was one hit, and certain
officers believe that most of the shots
were entirely too wide OF the mark.
Maj. Edward J. Timberland, who
was In charge of the battery, said,
however, that while the practice show
ed poor percentage Of hits, the test
had proved the efficiency Of the NOR
tars.
The small percentage of hits was
partially due to high winds.

CHAPTER vi.
Betty Sets Out for Tennessee.

Betty Sets Out for Tennessee.
Bruces first memories had to do
with long nights when he perched be-
side his father on the cabin roof OF
their keel-boat and watched the stars
or the blurred line of the shore where
it lay against the sky, or the lights on
other barges and RATS drifting as
they were drifting, with their wheat
and corn and whisky, to that COM
mon market at the rivers mouth.
Bruce Darlington had seen the dap
of barge and raft reach it's zenith,
had heard the first steam packets
shrieking whistle, which sounded the
death-knell of the ancient order,
though the shifting of the trade was a
slow matter and the glory OF the old
did not pass over to the new at once,
but fingered still in mighty fleets OF
RATS and keel-boats and in the Ho-
meric carousals of some ten thousand
of the half-horse, half-alligator breed
that nightly gathered in New Orleans
After the reading of the warrant
that morning, Charley Baiaam had
shown Darlington the road to the
Forks. assuring him when they sep
arated that with a little care and
decent use of his eyes 1t would be
possible to fetch up there and not
pass plumb through the settlement
without knowing where he was.
He was on his way to Fayetteville,
where he intended to spend the night,
and perhaps a day or two In looking
around, when the meeting with Betty
and Murrell occurred The girls face
remained with him. It was facs he
would like to see again.
He was still thinking of the girl
when he ate his supper that night at
Cleggett's Tavern. Later. In the bar,
he engaged his host in idle gossip. He
had met a gentleman and lady on
the road that day! he wondered, as
he toyed with his glass, If it could

at any rate she was bringing her
visit to an end, for Ferris had in
structed him to reserve place for
her in the north-bound stage on the
morrow
Darlington suddenly remembered
that he had thought OF starting north
in the morning himself.
The stage left at six, and as Car

morning Mr.. Cleggett was advising
the driver to look sharp when he
came to the. Barony road. as he was

There were hasty words OF advice

that her final destination was some

Then the door slammed and the stage
was In motion again.
All through the morning they swung
forward in the heat and dust and
glare, and at midday ratified into the
shaded main street of a sleepy village
and drew up before the tavern where
dinner was waiting them.
Betty saw Darlington when she
took her seat, and gave scarcely
perceptible start of surprise. Then
her face was flooded with a rich col

The next morning he found himself

received another curt little nod, cool

Darlington.
