RHEUMATISM
 QUICKLY RELIEVED

Morton L.. Hill, of Lebanon, Ind, says: My wife had Inflammatory Rheumatism in every muscle and joint; her suffering was terrible and her body and face were swollen al- most beyond recognition; had been in bed fer six weeks and had eight physicians. but received no benefit until she tried Dr. Detchon's Relief for Rheuma tism.

TOMORROW IS ST. DUNSTANS. :.
 HE WHO SHOD THE DEvTTi

If you would enjoy good luck for 2 year to come, place a horseshoe over. your door. for it is the day sacred to, the memory of the good St. Dunstan. that a horseshoe is about the luckiest thing there is, not even excepting a rabbits foot or the horse chestnut. but few know why. According to an old English legend, the luck of the horseshoe began with St. Dunstan, who lived in the tenth century. One day he was working at his forge when who should come in at the door but a tall, dark chap with a tail. @.The dew .iE" said the good saint, not profane- ly, but merely stating 8 fact, for the visitor was his satanic majesty him. self. It seems that Satan had got d burr in his cloven hoof, or something like that. and had gone lame, so ke called upon the smithy for shoe. Dunstan, of course, immediately set to work, for the devil is not a party to be trif1ed with, but he made the operation as long and painful as pos- sible, until Satan screeched and roar ed like a man in a dentists chair. The blacksmith refused to finish the job until the Evil One agreed never to enter any house where a horseshoe hung above the door. The news of Dunstan's. exploit speedily spread all over England, and in a short time er- cry human habitation had it's horse shoe as charm against the devil. Higher critics have alleged that Duns- tan was probably chief stockhoIder in horseshoe trust, but higher critics would allege anything in order to sat- isfy their inconoclastfc proclivtties. Other investigators say that the horse shoe superstition did not originate with St. Dunstan at all, but was doz- ems of centuries old when the black smith saint was born, and that origin
 
 mature worship of the ancients. ,rss It has even been denied that St. Duns- tan ever shod the deviI and that the experience was probably one of the conjured up as the result of a severe attack of brain fever. DunStan died on May 19, 9S8.
 Tomorrow will be the anniversary of the execution, May l9, 1856, of Anne Boleyn, wife of Henry VIII. Three years to a day after she had been crowned the consort of the much-s married monarch, the unfortunate wo-s man was taken out on the ToWev Green, and there her head was neatly chopped eff by a man who had had much experience as an executionos during the Eighth Henry's reign. The charge of which the second Queen Of Henry was convicted was based on alleged improper relations with number of men, who all happened to be enemies of the King. One man confessed, after long torture, but the others insisted to the last that the charge was false, and, if they lied, at least flied like gentlemen The real reason for the death of Anne Boleyn was probably Jane Seymour, with whom the King was infatuated and whom he married the day after Anne's death. Queen Anne was tried by court of tWenty-seven peers, and her father Sir Thomas Boleyn, was one of the jurymen who convicted her, while the presiding officer of the court was the Duke of Norfolk, an uncle of the Queen. Queen Anne left a daughter, Elizabeth, who afterward became one of the most famous of the rulers of England.

GREAT GAMES
BASKETBALL

Over 400 people crowded A. E, hall,
Flat City, last Saturday night to wit
ness the opening games Of basketball
in the series between Flat City and
Iditarod. Nearly one quarter of the
number was from Iditarod. A finer
appearing body of men and women
never assembled anywhere, and the
manner in which the crowd was ac-
commodated was most creditable to the
managers of the affair, as we'll as to
the people of the assemblage, who
accepted the slight unavoidable in
conveniences without murmur and
remained in the best of humor through
out.
The first event was the game be-
tween the ladies' teams, and it also
proved the most evenly matched and
the most interesting in mary ways.
The Iditarod ladies were the faster and
their team work was superior, and the
result was score of "a to II in their
favor. Owing to tho crowded and over
heated condition of the hall, time was
twice called during the first 15-minute
half, in order that the doors might
be opened and the hall las well as the
players) given an opportunity to cool
of. AT the finish of the game, of the
Iditarod's Miss Taylor had three bas-
kets to her credit, Miss Smith five,
Mrs. Atcheson four, while Miss Grant
and Mrs. Larson had goose eggs pic
tured opposite their names; but
devotees of the game explain that this
does not adequately express the merits
OF the play The position of the play
ers, it is explained, has a great deal to
do with it, and 1t is asserted that Miss
Grant and Mrs. Atcheson as guards
wee almost perfect; also that Mrs.
Larson's play was fine. The playing
of Miss Smith and Miss Taylor cou d
not be improved upon. OF the Flat
team, Mrs. Amalong got two baskets
on fouls, Miss Kotsch earned one, Mrs.
Laing one and Mrs. Campbell one. In
dividually, the + lat ladies played mag
nitcently, but the Iditarod ladies had
been carefully drilled by expert men
players and their team work game
them the victory.
In the mems game the Iditarod team
had everything its own way from start
to finish. The result was 81 to g. The
lditsrods' play was almost without
fault. Some of the expert players of
the home team declare, however, that
the Flats have some material OF great
promise, and that by practice the team
as whole could be developed into a
really strong aggregation. Charley
Linn, especially, is spoken of as a
player of great promise.
To make the play more even between
tho mems teams at the game to be
played at Iditarod tonight, the home
team has made lineup that is not
thought to be nearly so strong as that
Of week ago. It is as follows:
W. G. DeBaun, r. f.; Victor Wolfe,
|. f.; Fred Bruhn, c.; Earl Byers,
r. e.; W. Hanauer, |. g. Subsidiary
Donnelly and G. p. Wood.

MUCH FRESH FISH SIGN OF SPRING

If anything we're needed to clinch
he argument that spring is an estab-
lished fact in Iditarod, it arrived
Thursday evening in the form of $50
pounds of fresh grayling and whitefish
1t is proof positive that spring has
come to stay when you can go into the
restaurants AMI call for fresh fish with
a guarantee on the "fresh."
The hnny beauties were brought in
ON Bonanza creek by Ivan" Van
derpool. The fish run in schools in the
spring of the year, and it is said Van
caught the whole lot in very short
time. Henry Peel had been out 1t
B nanza for two or three weeks wat
ing for the fish to come along, but
they failed to appear. The next day
after he left they came en- masse, and
Tan made killing.
