Matron Parts with Dear, but Mutt
lated Certificate.

Washington, Aug. 8.-A Louis
vile matron, who for sentimental
reasons, had treasured mutilated
dollar bill and found it's buying pow
er decreasing while her family and
the cost of living were increasing,
sent it to the treasury to-day for re-
demption with the accompanying
note:
Il have had this bill for some
time, but have neglected to have 1t
redeemed. In the meanwhile, how
ever, I have acquired two little girls,
and dollar looks much bigger
than it used to look. AS its buying
power seems to be steadily decreas'
ing, I send it in while it is still worth
80 cents"
A new one dollar note was sent tc
her.

A WAY OPEN.
Many a Bamberg Reader Knows it
Well.

There is a way open to convince
tho greatest skeptic. Scores of Bam-
berg people have made it possible.
The public statement of their expert
ence is proof the like of which has
never been produced before in Bam-
berg. Read this case of it given by
a citizen:
N. B. Adams, Main St., Bamberg,
S. c., says: For more than a year
I suffered from attacks of backache
and 1 also had pains through my
loins. The kidney secretions were
bothersome, being too frequent in
% sssage and sometimes I noticed that
they looked unnatural. Finally 1 got
supply of Doan's Kidney Pills
from the Peoples Drug Co., and a
few weeks after 1 began their use, l
was entirely relieved. l most hearth
ly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills

On January 26, 1911, Mr.. Adams

RUSSIAN PRAIRIE FIRE.
Flight of the Peasants Before the
Rapidly Spreading Flames.

Midsummer in Russia has been
ushered in by a great epidemic of
fires on the steppes.
The intense dryness of the season
has spread these fires over a huge
area. One of the most dreadful fires
that the Russian steppes have ever
seen ragged a few days ago in the
province of Turgai, on the other side
of the Ural Mountains, and to the
northeast of the Caspian. On these
steppes vast seas of grass stretch to
the horizon, raised only by shrubs of
the wild cherry and dwarf almond
onthe hillsides or by clumps of worm
wood when the soil is clayey. Herds
of cattle and horses Craze on the
plains.
1t was early in the morning when
mighty clouds of smoke suddenly rose
up from the steppe, sure sign to
the inhabitants that fire was in
progress. So appalling was the speed
with which the fire rolled over the
dry and yellow grass that the peas
ants had quickly to concert measures
for saving just their own lives from
destruction. Feverish activity pre-
vailed in all the villages until the
tongues of fame which came on near
er and nearer with uncanny swiftness
appeared on the horizon.
Swept forward by the rushing
wind sparks from the confagration
kindled in advance another fire,
which in a short time enveloped 30,-
900 acres of grazing ground. Swifter
and swifter before the wind dashed on
the wall of fiery waves. Enormous
pillars OF fame shot up into the air.
The suction was so strong that slabs
of turf and burning branches were
hurled up into the air and thrown
far away.
Men and cattle were hard put to
it to save themselves. Their least
danger was of being scorched by the
fiery breath which swept on ahead
of the furnace Women and children
who sank helpless to the ground
were dragged along by the villagers,
for only hasty flight was now of any
avail. But even this would not have
saved them had not lake lain IN
their path, into which they all rush
ed, wading in as far as they could
without drowning.
Imagine, then, hundreds 'of per-
sons standing in the waters up to
their shoulders, while all 'around
them masses of fame ran along the
banks and sent out Pickering tongues
over the water in their direction, baf-
fled in the thirst for victims.
Some of the inhabitants OF the viii
lagos on the steppes, directly they
saw the fire advancing, set to work
to burn large areas, and on these
oases they collected all their cattle
and household goods. At last heavy
shower came and eXtinguished the
prairie fire. Many perished in the
flames or were stifled by the smoke,
five in one village, three in another,
and so on Resides this. there was a
great destruction of live stock, large
and small.

GroUer Cleveland By George Fitch
author of AT Good old siva.h'

~ n this day in the year 1887, Grover
Cleveland was born in Caldwell,
n. J. His full name was Stephen
Grover Cleveland, but observing that up
to that time only one man who had
worn a full dress name had had time to
become president, he abandoned his first
name and studied law with the time thus
saved.
Cleveland was the son Of a minister,
but declined to live up to the old Joke
about minister's sons and devoted his
life to the accumulation of knowledge
and avoirdupOis. He was a large, slow
man, who put all of mis- ideas down in
solid concrete, thus making it impossible
TO alter OF remove them. and he early
took out a life membership in the Demo
cratic party and the United Disciples of
Isaac Walton. The state of New Jersey
fitting him a little too snugly around
the waist, he removed to Buffalo, where
he was soon elected sheriff, and because
of his slOwness in cOmprehending the
political advantage of minding his own
affairs first and those of the people last.

convention, and he was accordingly nom
mated for president in 1884. The Re
publican party wore out over so car
toonists in a vain attempt to stem the
tide, and after campaign which caused
apoplexy, nasal hemorrhage, and kero-
sene stains all over the nation, he
climbed into the presidential chair and
proceeded to pry loose the frantic grasp
of some $4,000 Republican office holders.
AS president, Cleveland was distin-
guished by lbs immortality pursued
his own policy and let his party insurge
as much as It pleased. He was a skillful
vetoer, bringing down the biggest bills
with one barrel and whenever his party
had come to a boil he would retire to

By Edmond JaIOu1.

HEN it became evident that
NJ Provence's cause was lost
that all the efforts Of the i'm
migrants were in vain, that dema-
goes ruled France and that it was
useless to try to kill the hydra OF
the revolution. count Jacques de Guer-
bois, a ruined man. gave up all hope
and embarked on a small vessel bound
for England. Having landed safely he
took up his residence in London. He
spoke English fluently, his mother
having been the daughter of noble and
wealthy parents in Kent He gave les
sons in French and translated books.
His wealthy and influential relatives
soon enabled him TO find remunerative
work, so that he was even able occas-
ionaIly to help less fortunate friends
and countrymen.
Among these relatives was an old
gentleman, sir Samuel Buxton. a cOus-
in Of the late countess de Guerbois,
who lived all year round on his estate
IN Devonshire. Having heard Of the
arrival OF his French kinsman, he i'm
mediately wrote him a letter asking
him to come and spend some time on
the estate. GuerbOis was unable to
accept the invitation, being very busy
at the time, but when sir Buxton re-
peated 1t he finally accepted, so much
more as the climate OF London had Sc
riOusly affected his health and he was
greatly in need of rest and change OF
air.
When he left the carriage he was re-
ceived most cordially by a charming
old man, who introduced him to his
two young daughters, Of whom the
eldest, Ruth, was dark, with dreamy
hazel eyes. while the younger, Della
was a typical English beauty with
golden hair and dark blue eyes.
Jacques very soon felt very much at
home and was greatly attracted by the
charming young girls, especially by
Della. and after a while his gay hui
