ers was still here with a record

of successful practice in Mans.
field and vicinity. and one of the
most highly esteemed doctors in
Wright county and Southwest
Missouri-being president OF
the Wright County Medical AS
sociation and also of the South
west Missouri Medical Associa
ton.
Sunday, November s, 1914,
just % years to a day, Rev. JOS.
Davis was engaged in a series of
meetings at the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, one of the
most successful, sOul'stirrirg
and far reaching in its influence
of any religious meeting ever
held in Mansfield. Rev. Mr..
Davis has not been here cOntin
uously since 1891, but we hope
he is now here to stay, as he is
one of the most popular and
powerful ministers of the gospel
that we have ever claimed as a
citizen.
The doctor and the preacher
are both ideal citizens and none
more so than Manstield's repre-.
sentatives.

A NATURE MYSTERY

. Perhaps the strongest impulse of
instinct to be found in nature is that
exhibited by the salmon in spawning
time. On the northern Pacific coasts
of the United States, Canada, Alaska
and Siberia, where these fish abound,
thew annually make their desperate
dashes up the great rivers, some of
them 1900 to 1000 miles in length,
in search of suitable spawning
grounds. Nothing seems to stop the
mad rush of the fish.
Leaping the falls, needless Of birds,
bears, minks, offers and other wild
beasts which prey on them in addi-
ton to mans wholesale slaughter,

When the spawning grounds have

fish are so weak from exhaustion
that they are unable to protect them

whatever after leaving salt water,
and, drifting down with the current,
they fall easy prey to the enemies of

AIIOll Hui >Nldy DN'A- -
 Because his lifelong pal and com rade was lowering between life and death in Phoenix hospital, old Peter Smith, a pioneer miner To- cated near Constellation, took to drink. The effort to drown his sor- rows was futile. The old pioneer was seized with dcspondency. Sum moning to the front the remnants of a one-time wonderful courage, the old man placed the muzzle of his forty-hve Colts to his heart and pulled the trigger. The bullet cut the heart in two and came out upon the right side of the neck His corpse was found three hours later upon the floor of his cabin located upon his mining claim, mile and a half from Constellation.
 Postmaster P. S. Wren of Con- stellation notified Coroner Charles H. McLane of this city. That off cial in turn notified Coroner John Luke of Congress Junction. The latter immediately proceeded to the scene of the tragedy. Investigation showed that the body of the old man was found about three hours after the trigger was pulled. He was sixty-eight years of age and widely known throughout the coun- ty as a mining prOspector.
