Chinese Artlnt

In the fourth century A. D. there
lived in China an artist. who was also
a poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there Is painting. long
scroll. which for at least Il thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, 1t
is in all probability a painting by his
hand. One day. we are told. he in
trusted to a friend a chest full OF
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid OF
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a seal. The friend however
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom Of the box and so Gbstracting
them. When the box was restored to
Ku Kai.chih, he broke the seal and
found 1t empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise.
Beautiful paintings, he said, communi-
cate with supernatural beings; they
have changed their form and flown
away, like men when they join the
Observation-Disclosures Binyon, in the
Atlantic.

combined with cuffs and neck facing

The upper part of brocade has wide

it rounds away across the back on 4

 ROADS IMPROVED.

The good roads movement has re- ceived an impetus this week that we believe will carry it along until it becomes a permanent fixture in the minds of every farmer and business man of Graham county.
 As the result of the persistent eff forts of R. w. Smith, the good roads booster of Graham county, men and teams were busy Wednesday making a brand new road from Solomonville to the county line.
 One thing more we might say in perfect truth and that is: The re- suit of the logging of the Southern Highway places the road from Lords burg to Duncan, to Solomonville, to Stafford and through the Gila valley to Globe, thence to Roosevelt Dam to Phoenix, as the best road for auto mobilists to travel from the east to the coast After leaving Lordsburg and getting into the Duncan country the traveller continues through green fields, fine farm lands and glorious scenery, such as viewed on the mountain highway from Globe to Roosevelt Dam, which in itself is a great point of interest.-Guardian.

 For the last four years, Frank Smith, republican, has been postmas- ter. w. s. Adams, democrat, was ap- pointed to succeed him September l. It was agreed that Adams should meet Smith August 31 and make a deal for the postoffice fixtures, includ- ing boxes owned by Smith. In Jer- ome. the postmaster is supposed to furnish the boxes.
 Adams did not appear It is un. derstood that he has left town, but may return at any time. When he did not appear August 31, Smith re moved his boxes. Then he telegraph to Washington and was ordered to remain on the job until his successor appeared.

After Four Years of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband

Catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: 'I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, could only sit up for little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, would have severe pains in my left side.
 The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for while, but was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good: I had gotten so weak could not stand, and gave Up in despair.
 At last, my husband got me bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and com- menced taking it. From the very first dose, could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without it's firing me, and am doing my work"
 If you are all run down from womanlk troubles, don't give Up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. lthas helped more than million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years.
