Columbia, Tenn.-"Many time, ," says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place, "I wished l would die and be relieved Of my suffering, from womanly troubles. l could not get up, without pulling at something 10 help me, and stayed in bed most of the time. l could not do my houseWork.
 The least amount of work tired me out. My head would swim, and would remble for an hour or more. Finally, iook Cardu, the woman's tonic, and l am not bothered with pains any more, and don't have to go to bed. In fact, am sound and well of all my troubles"
 Cardui goes 10 all the weak spots and helps 10 make them strong. It acts with nature-not against her. It is for the tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel as if everything were wrong, and need something to quiet their nerves and strengthen the worn-out system.
 If you are a woman, suffering from any of the numerous symptoms of wonlanly trouble, take Cardui. If will help you. At all druggists.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. 23.-Prizes were offered by State Superin- tendent George E. Cook for the best compositions on the sub- iect, Why I Like Farm Life" to be written by the pupils of the public schools, and read as Qart of the program on Az ricuitaral and Rural Life Day, December ,, and sent to the De partment for grading. Over seven hundred compositions were submitted, and the work of grading has just been completed. The following prize winners have been announced:
 Girls-First prize, $2 to No. 20 (no name yet received) Will ton, Ark, o. E. Kalb teacher; Second prize, $1, to Myrtle Simpson, Keeyif Mrs Susie Throckmorton teacher.
 Boys-First prize, $2, Don- aid Jones, aged 13 years, Green land, Ark, John E. Jones teach CT. Second prize, $1, Lewis Moore, Greenwood, Miss. Tennie Watson, teacher.
 Much difficulty was found in grading papers. Many were set aside because they were care lessly written and lacking in neatness, and many on account of poor penmanship. A large number of otherwise excellent compositions contained mis- spelled words while some were too long.
 Scores of these compost tions," said Supt. Cook, 'de- serve special mention and com pliment. The influence of the boys and girls agricultural clubs is shown throughout the large portion of the compost tions. It is rapidly becoming more efficient in bringing the schoolWork and the home life, aspirations and needs of the pu- pills in closer touch. It has been no small task to grade some sey- en hundred papers but it has been a labor of love and 1 wish to thank each boy and girl whose papers have been received and each teacher who sent the compositions to this department.
 "This plan has proved so suc- cessful and the pupils and teach CTS have shown so much inter- est, that it will be the policy of this department to offer similar prizes annually. Next year the prizes will be larger than they were this year."

WHY IT SUCCEEDS.

 ciate This.


 Nothing can be good for every thing.
 Doing one thing well brings success.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.
 For weak or disordered kid neys.
 Here is reliable evidence of their worth.
 Mrs. B. F. Owens, Magness, Arkansas, says; "One of our family complained a great deal of dull pain in the small of the back. Dizzy spells were common especially in the morning. The kidney secretions were too un- natural. Hearing Deans Kid ney Pills highly recommended, a box was procured. They made a cure"

Montana Dan" Addresses Boy


 Scouts.
 Montana Dan", traveling scout master of the Boy Scouts of American, Indian fighter and government scout, who is ap- bearing at the Palace, addressed the local Boy Scouts in a most interesting and entertaining talk this afternoon at the court house.
 Montana Dan impressed scout ing lore upon the boys with practical demonstrations, though
 in such a delightful manner as to make them sigh for further information. He also told many interesting little stories of ad- venture, and of course his Vest ern costume and long hair add ed much charm to the tales.
 The famous scout, who will soon have his book, "Forty Years West of the Rockies, " published, expects shortly to engage in the Boy Scout work exclusively, and his book which is filled with knowledge con corning the great open, will be presented to every Boy Scout ln the land. He will conduct a par ty of eighteen Boy Scouts from Virginia, San Francisco, afoot, for the 1915 exposition. The party will start from Virginia next October, and expect to make the trip in five months.

NEWS0F The WEEK


Donald Roscoe. 10 years old, and
Hubert Moore, 9 years old, of Mia
CARA Falls, went to their death in a
small boat late Monday afternoon in
the Whirlpool rapids, at Niagara
Falls, N. Y, while hundreds of men
watched helpless on the shore. The
boys were playing in a fiat bottomed
scow, half a mile above the rapids,
when the rope holding the boat
broke and they were carried put into
the stream and went down the river.
Up to the time the boat reached
mid-stream it made little progress.
After it passed the bridges, the cur
rent carried it rapidly towards the
rapids. The bridge men did not see
the boat until it was close at hand.
Then they called fire headquarters
and two companies of firemen We're
sent to save the lads If possible.
As the boat neared Swift drift, the
first breaking of the river from the
tdiin upper ltdthtS u the idpluS, 1t
began to rock. The boys sat down to
keep from tumbling into the stream.
Then, caught in Swift drift, the boat
went racing under the bridge. As
they passed under the bridge they
ceased their cries for help. The two
mites turned towards each other and
calmly shook hands, then with the
boat in the tumbling waters threw
themselves on the seat of the boat
and clung with all their strength.
The craft held to its course until
il encountered a huge wave, which
crested at a height of forty feet. 1t
seemed to dive in the middle of the
wave, and when it came again to
view it was bottom up. A second or
two latter, a little head was seen
bobbing on a wave below for a mo-
ment and then was seen no more.
The Roscoe boys mother is very
i'll, and was not told of the tragedy.
The boys We're members of well
known families of Niagara Falls.
They had been ehums for several
years. Just before dark watchers on
the bank saw the bodies in the rapids,
but could not reach them.

Panhandle Engineers Are Tone Deaf


Officials of the Chicago-Logansport

are at their wits end to get rid of
monster bullfrogs in the English
Lake swamps, east of Crown Point,
in Indiana. Train crews declare that
the frogs croaks are similar in
sound to the different engines whis-
ties and officials fear wrecks may
happen owing to the false signals.
Engineers declare that on several
occasions fiagmen have been sent
back to protect trains when they
heard the four long, deep-throated
whistles of a monster frog, which
they took to be the signal, from the
engineer to come in.
Trains are stopped by engineers
who can not distinguish the bullfrog
croak from the engine whistle. Boys
have been hired to scour the swamps
for the frogs, but to no avail.
