J. L. Sappington of Centralia will be protected from the cold this winter by a coonskin overcoat made from hides of coons which he caught with his famous coon dog Buck.
 The coat, which Sappington was wearing, was made from the skins of 30 of the 132 of the ringtailed species which he and his canine have cap tured in the last three years. Sap pington sent the skins to furrier with instructions to use only the best part of the hides. The consequence is his coat is the best and finest that can be. made and differs from the coonskin garments of this kind usual ly seen.
 Three years ago Sappington bagged 52 coons. Two years ago he captured AS, last year but 16 and so far this year he has captured 16-Fulton cor respondence St. Louis Globe-Democrat

WOMAN IN POLICE SERVICE
Countrs Is Slowly Realizing How Val uabe She Is In That Kind of
 Work.

One of tue surprises of evolution has been the discovery that women have an appointed work waiting for them in the police service. The smashing derision that used to find a special point of application in the idea of the woman policeman" is yielding, ginger. ly but rarely, to tl:e realization that the country needs women as police rather more than the women need to be police officials. The realization seems to be part of the general real ization of tbe human interest mixed up in the criminals case. the realiza- tion that you don't finish with that case by merely experimenting the crim- inal and affix'ng the thumb screws, and the further realization that the case may be one of many sides and one of two sexes. A desire to reach the case having followed upon the realization, it was perhaps inevitable that women should be available instruments of sal vation. In Los Angeles the woman policeman has been installed in re- SpOnSe to ulStlnct neeu III IHe ndHui ing of woman and girl criminals. In Maryland, she has been applied to for off help to enforce the curfew law in an effective manner. In Chicago as matrons womeI. have long been as, sisting in the problem of handling the criminal. Very recently these ma irons have been placed in the rank of patrolmen. and their salaries have been increased from $1.000 to $1.40O d year

GOOD PUZZLE TO WORK OUT
Occupation In Enforced ldleness Is Good Test Of Ones Knowledge
 of the Bible.

Evidently the matter of occupation when one is confined indoors is a problem to the Swiss as we'll as to other people. The Bonne Revue comes forward with, an answer to the ques- tion: What are We to do indoors ?' Instead of bemoaning the inclement weather 1t says people should solve the following problem:
 Divide the number of Jobs camels before they were captured by the Chaldeans by the number of men sent to take Jeremiah out of the dungeon i; add 10 the quotient the number of lords entertained at Balthazar's feast. Subtract from the sum the number of just persons who could have saved Sodom Multiply by David's age when he commenced to reign. Divide by the number Of Philistines that Samson slew with the ass's jawbone. Sub tract the number of Solomon's songs multiply by the number of days dur ing which Job did not speak to his friends. Subtract the number of fish taken in the miracle of Jesus fishing. Add to the result the number of prophets hidden by Abdias Subtract the number of ungrateful lepers healed by Jesus. and you will have a mys- terous figure contained in the Apo calypso.

CONFIRMED PROOF
RESIDENTS OF CONWAY CAN NOT DOUBT WHAT HAS BEEN
 TWICE PROVED.

In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs from distressing kidney ills-thou- sands have publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of this vicinity who so testified years ago, now say the results were per manent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Conway kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. John MacMillan, SO6 Water St., Little Rock, Ark, says: The public statement gave two years ago recommending Doan's Kidney Pills was entirely correct. This remedy was used in my home for lumbago and kidney trouble with satisfactory results. I can now add that since then I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills for trouble with my back and kidneys and have been relieved.

THEY MILK ALL DAY LONG
Employees on Eastern Dairy Farm Arc Specialists, Each Handling 35
 Cows Daily.

On the average dairy farm the man who can milk fifteen or twenty COWS twice a day is ranked as an excellent miiker. Yet or milk company's farm In New Jersey. ten operators are milk ing 250 animals twice daily, an aver age of 35 COWS per milker. Ever since modern dairy husbandry began to ap- proach an intensive development the problem of the milk farm has been how most efficiently to utilize the la bor of the milking force between milk ings In the winter time especially this was a hard nut to crack.
 The manager of this eastern dairy farm got his mind to working over time and devised the plan of develop ing his milkers into specialists who milked for ten hours day and per formed no other labor He correspond ed. with the managers and owners of other large milk farms in order to obtain their opinions concerning his new method and found they did not believe it would work. In nowise dis couraged. this progressive manager put the proposition before his milkers and asked them if they would be will ing to test out the plan, They en- Enthusiastically assented His plan as successfully carried out is explained in the Popular Mechanics Magazine.

SET UP BOTTLES AS GODS
Burmese Natives, Relieved by "Pain Killer" Accepted What They
 Thought Was Deity.

There are many people in this country who are given to worship of patent medicines; but it remained for the East to furnish an instance of actual idolatry of empty medicine bot ties
 An American missionary came upon a village in Burma where an epidem- ic was raging Having with him a quantity of New England pain pill- err and thinking he might at least allay the suffering somewhat, be went from house to house admins tering the remedy, and left number of bottles to be used after he had gone. When he returned to the viii lage some months later he was met by the head man of the community, who cheered and delighted him by this intelligence; Preacher, we have come over to your side; the medicine did us so much good that we have accepted your god" Oyerjoyed at this news, the missionary was conducted to the house of the head man. who opened the door of room and showed him the pain killer bottles solemnly arranged in a row upon the shelf; and before them the whole company immediately prostrated themselves in worship.

Strange Curiosities of Pain.

Pain sometimes behaves in curi- ous fashion. There was a soldier after the Boer war, who complained, of ex- cruciating neuralgia pains in his right foot This very much amused his friends. for he had lost his right leg. The explanation was that the pain happened to be in the trunks of those nerves. which had sent branches to the foot The other day patient went to a doctor complaining of pain in the knee, and he was greatly sur prised when the doctor told him that the site of the affection is not the knee but the hip. We are all familiar with the pain under the shoulder blade which comes from an afflicted liver. The stomach. too, can produce pain in many parts of the body. A dis ordered stomach will give us pain as far away as the head, and, when one gets a cramp in his toe, it is often due to acidity of the stomach. Swallow a pinch of bicarbonate of soda and the cramp will disappear. An aching tooth will produce neuralgia pains in the face, and very often a yiolentpain at the back of the head is due to the faraway kidneys, which themselves may suffer no pain at the time.

Crack Filler.

Cracks in floor. caused by the
 preading apart of the boards, are ob- jectionable because they catch dust and dirt. A simple and effective crack filler is made from newspapers. Tear the paper into small bits, soak in hot water, and mix with warm four paste. Fill the cracks with this mixture, which should be thick, spreading the paste with a knife Another good filler consists of a mixture of glue and sawdust. Heat the glue until melted and for one pound of glue, before melting, allow one gallon of water
 When melted, stir into it fine saw dust until thick paste results. Fill the cracks with this, packing it down solidly and smoothing it over with a knife blade When the filler is thor oughly dried the floor may be stained

SUSPICIOUS OF THE AUTHOR
George PattuIIo Tells of His Expert ences Among Cowboys on the
 Mexican Border

George Pattullo, the author of "The Sheriff of Badger" is a cowboy part of the year and works among the men of Texas ranch. He tells a story of time when he did not wear his literary laurels too conspicuously.
 "A rather amusing thing happened at Naco, which Is town straddling the Mexican border" he said. "I had been working on the Turkey Track range as the guest of the owner while they were branding 5000 head of cows and steers that had been sold Some of us went to Naco at the end of the work for a little fun. and Lee Hardie. the boss, introduced me to the proprietor of the Fashion. An inebriated gentleman standing near seemed to ponder the name, as though trying to recall something. At last he came over to me.
 Are you he said, the guy that writes storiesf I admitted it, upon which his manner became very grave.
 We'll he continued, you done put my brother in one of them pieces and I want to see you about it.
 'I hastily assured him that his brother was wholly unknown to me. He looked doubtful and appeared to nurse a grievance, but allowed the matter to drop
 Fred Hall, one of the cowboys who had worked with me on the squeezer, which holds each animal that is to be branded-it takes two lusty men to handle squeezer when the steers are wild-led Lee Hardin aside, and I could hear them in hot debate.
 "'Aw, Lee. said Fred in much dis gust. what's the use of trying to tell me that? tell you Pat ain't got enough sense to write stories."

logic of Phocion.

Why tell me that a man is a fine speaker if it is not the truth that he is speaking? Phocion, who did not speak at all. was a great deal nearer hitting the mark than Demosthenes
 He used to tell the Athenians-"You cant fight Philip. You have not the slightest chance with him. He is a man who holds his tongue; he has great disciplined armies; he can brag anybody you like in your cities her; and he is going on steadily with an unvarying aim toward his object; and he will infallibly beat any kind of men such a" you going on raging from shore to shore with all that rampant nonsense"
 Demosthenes said to him one day -"The Athenians will get mad some day and kill you" Yes, Phocion said, When they are mad; and you as soon as they get sane again. n."-Thomas Carlyle.

Original Confidence Man.

A story is told of old New York and of how the expression confidence man meant man in whom one could not place confidence at all It is said that some years ago a very we'll dressed man with a courteous ad- dress was wont to walk up and down the principal streets of the city.
 Whenever he met a stranger who looked hopeful to him he would ap- proach the man and with the most delightfully."- frank manner he would ask:
 My dear sir, have you confidence enough in me, an entire stranger to you, to lend me $5 for an hour or two?"
 And it is said that the man made an extremely good living by this very simple means.

Salaries Of Naval Officers.

The pay of commissioned officers in the navy varies with rank and length of service, and there are numerous other factors which must be taken in- to account, The amount received in individual cases may be worked out by study of the regulations con tained in the Navy Register, which is obtainable in any well-equipped public library. The commander of a vessel of the naval auxiliary service would not be correctly called a captain, '" but master" The rates of pay of this class of officers are not set forth in the Navy Register. since they are not regularly commissioned officers of the navy.
