BURTON GIBSON BUILT
on THE LINES OF BLUEBEARD

Burton w. Gibson, the New York
lawyer, who was arrested on a charge
of numbering his client Mrs. Rosa
Menschik Szabo. is in a cell in the
Middletown. y. Y, Jail His self
confidence and jauntiness fled with his
imprisonment.
BESIDES the Szabo tragedy there has
been chain of curious condolences
linking Gibson's name with cases of
sudden death or disappearance of
clients Of the lawyer or of persons
connected in one way or another with
cases in which he was interested.
The Arst or four such condolences
occurred when Mrs. Alice d. Kinnan.
daughter of an aged woman, whose
property Gibson handled. was murder
ed at her home in the Bronx. The
murder mystery was never solved.
Gibson was held pending an investiga-
ton, but was released on a habeaS
corpus writ and subsequently brought
suit for false arrest.
Then, continuing the curious chain,
a witness at the Kinnan inquest, Mich
ael ShippO, who was found drowned in
shallow creek and George I. NAL
colin, a Wall street broker and rela-
tive of the Kinnan family, who had
fought Gibson for the control of the
estate, was drowned in Long Island
Sound from a steamboat.
The last, John Rice O'Neill. a British
subject who conferred with Gibson
concerning mortgage transaction
after winning a $4,000 damage suit
for the loss of a leg, disappeared after
his conference with Gibson more than
a year ago.

PLAUSIBLE AND PROsAIC
BUT NOT POSSIBLE,

1t is hard to recall a single one of
the former beliefs that have not been
negatived by the iconclasts of the
present day, or one thing that used to
be accepted as historical truth that
had not been in it's turn disproved.

by many, that the liquidly musical

ern research and seeks to destroy the
pleasing idea by saying that it does not
mean that at all.
The legend is that an Indian chief at
the head Of his migrating tribe had
travelled far and he and his people
were weary when they came to this
land. Seeing it's beauty and apparent
fruitfulness, the chief struck his spear
into the ground and exclaimed, "Al-a-
ba-ma"-here we rest.
The Montgomery advertiser repudi-
ates the Interpretation of the name
and says that it has done harm to the
state and to it's people by creating the
false impression that the state is a
land ain which it is always afternoon
and that the people are fonder of rest
ing than OF working.
meaning of the word Alabama in the
Indian tongue is the prosaic term "mul-
berry pickers," as applied to the inhab-

first known to the white people, lived
largely upon the fruit of the innumera-

That is all very plausible and pro-

Movies Make Target.

An ingenious adaptation Of moving pictures to a shooting gallery has been made by an Englishnau. ll tEis gallery the marksmen have thc ss. 's- taction of shooting at rapidly mo rg deer or other animals, and tAe SIC cess of their shots is automa' 'iIaNy re- corded. In the rear of the ga:!e: is 2 metal screen painted white. The pictures are thrown on this screen and the rapidly moving objects serve u place of target. and afford 2@4ch more excitement. By means of ar electrical device in back of the screen shot that strikes a mortal spot on the deer, or whatever the mark may be, is instantly recorded in the fro.. of the gallery. The marks also slew on the white paint and after these ma2its become too numerous the screen can be painted over again.

other hand. the revised Pe-ru-na is a better remedy for some conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are both in tended as catarrh remedies. They have both done a great work in relieving catarrh. chronic and acute. Many hundreds of cases of chronic catarrh have recovered while taking Ka-tar-no and the same is true of the revised Pe- ru-na during the last six years since its revision.
 There is difference. however. in the two remedies. Whenever catarrh is associated with constipation then the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In deed. this is exactly why the revision was made. to meet such cases But where no laxative is needed. where the bowels are regular or inclined to be loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar- no) is the better remedy.
 The revised Pe ru-na is for sale at all drug stores. Those wishing to ob tain Ka-tar-no, address The a-tar-no O., Columbus Ohio.

WAYS OF RUBBER TAPPING
Natives of Mozambique Either Use incision or Cook and Pound
 the Bark.

There are at present in use two native methods of extracting rubber. The first, that of incision or tapping, is followed by all natives south of the Zambesi Valley. and it produces a high-grade rubber known as Mozam- bique pink. second only to best Para on the European market. The other method of extraction, known as pounding. is generally followed in the Mozambique and other northern dis tricts There the bark is stripped from the roots of the vines oE from the vines and is cooked over a slow fire and pounded until the bark is finally pounded out. leaving mass of rubber in all stages of crudity This rubber is known as Mozambique rooty It is classed very low but q large concern now operating ill the Mozambique district has perfected the system of pounding to the point of producing a rubber which is rapid ly approaching the classification ci Mozambique pink.
 strange truth has come to light in regard to the landolphia, and that is that while vines are frequently killed by incision or tapping, this seldom happens with the vine which is cut down almost to the ground after maturity. It is also a notable fact that large sections of the root ot a vine can be dug up and cut off with. out killing the vine. In the Mozam- bique district there are places where natives hav7 been cutting roots from the same vines year after year. The recognition of this fact will make a1 enormous difference in the estimates of the capacity of the forests-U. s Consular Report

Paper Dolls.

Every mother who has little daugh- ters to amuse in rainy weather will often resort to paper dolls. Children always derive a great amount Of pleas ure dressing these, and many an oth- erwise tedious hour is spent in this manner.
 Beautiful dolls, from six to nine inches tall. ready to dress, may be purchased for from five to ten cents.
 If you desire to make your own dolls, take piece of stiff cardboard and draw a head and body, using the purchased doll for model.
 Draw the eyes, nose, mouth, eye brows, ears and hair. With water col ors paint the features the desired tints.
 Lovely dresses may be fashioned from crepe and tissue paper, which comes in all tints and shades. plain, figured and in plaid designs. Sup piled with a pair of scissors, bottle of mucilage and the paper. children can create many pretty costumes for the paper doll.

SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION
Yield to Vinol.

The medical profession do not be- lieye that consumption is inherited, but a person may inherit a weakness or tendency to that disease.
 A prominenti citizen of Evansville, Ind. writes: )'I was i'll for five months with pulmonary trouble, and had the best of doctors; ! had hemVrr- hages and was in a very bad way. Through the advice of a friend tried Viaol. and I feel that it saved my life. It is all you recommend it to be. believe it is the greatest medl- cine on earth. I have advised others 10 try Vinol. and they have had the sane results" (Name furnished on r-.Eest)
 Vinol soothes and heals the infiamed ..rfaces and allays the cough. Vlnol creates an appetite, strengthens the Eigestive organs and gives the patient strength to throw off incipient pulmo' nary diseases.
 Try a bottle of Vinol with the un- dorstanding that your money will be turned if it does not help you Florence Drug O., Conway, Ark.

From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daiiv
 The courts will probably be called upon to determine whether or not the county judge of Faulkner county has the authority under the law to ap- point the road overseers for the va rious districts of the county Road Overseer Walter Bowen of Cadron township, today announced that he would continue to discharge the du- ties of his office, despite the fact that County Judge J. w. Holt this morn. ing appointed R. l. Green to that po- sition.
 Under the original road law the ov- erseers were appointed by the county judge. The legislature of 1907 amended this law to provide for the election of overseers in Faulkner and several other counties. The legis- lature of 1909 re- enacted the act of 1907, adding other counties thereto. The legislature of 1911 passed an act amending the act of 1907, so as to omit Faulkner county from the list of counties in which road overseers were to be elected, but made no reference to the act of 1909. Mr. Bowen has retained R. w. Robins as his attor- ney to represent him in the matter, and his attorney states that it will be MT.
