SUFFERING.
Treatment by Which the Affliotion May
Be Overcome,

There is no cure for suffering. This
does not mean that no Stutterer can be
cured ar from it--but that there Is no
treatment which is sure to cure If a
sufferer be taken in childhood. when
the a1lliction is first noticed, and care
fully treated he can sometimes be cur
ed and generally much improved.
DR.. Frank A. Bryant of New York,
writing in the Medical Record, says
the first thing to do is to make sure
that there are no Instructions in the
throat or nose such as enlarged tom
sis or adenoids. The child must be
taught to breathe through his nose,
deeply and slowly, as habit. He must
not be allowed to speak when excited
nor when laughing or crying or in the
paroxysms of whooping cough. He
must never be tickled All causes OF
excitement must be removed Fresh
air, scrupulous cleanliness, plain, nour-
ishing food. moderate exercise and
plenty of sleep in dark room are es-
sential
Mental treatment Is Of great impor-
lance. Any measures that will increase.
mental poise are Of Incompatible
value. The sufferer must be impress
ed with desire to overcome what is
only bad habit. He must be per
suaded to study the great art Of speak
ing correctly. Thus, by careful, pa
tient work on the part Of his parents.
teachers and physicians, will he gradu-
ally cure himself, or at least so i'm
prove as to make the affection cease to,
be serious.

tinued, looking sharply at the young
woman, land l don't want you to.

THE VOICE OF A CHILD.
How One of the Worlds Greatest Song
Birds Was Discovered

Many years ago a maid employed by
Miss Lundberg, famous dancer Of the
Royal Opera in Stockholm, was given
holiday by her mistress and set out
to take walk. Passing a shabby little
house in the poorest section of the city
she heard child's voice. which SEEM
ed to her wonderfully fresh and beauti-
full, and, looking up, she saw a little
girl sitting near the window singing to.
a pet kitten. In great excitement she
rushed to her mistress and told her of
the exquisite voice she had heard.
Miss Lundberg was somewhat skep
teal, but finally went to the house and
heard the sweet song. She, too, was
convinced of the great natural beauty
of the child's voice and reported it to
Croelius, the singing master Of the
opera
Croelius was also somewhat skepti.
cal at first, but at Miss Lundbergs re
quest he, too, went and, standing on
the sidewalk, heard the child sing.
Enraptured in turn, be told Count
Buke. manager of the Royal opera, and
arrangements were made by which the
little girl sang for the count.
She was at once taken as free pups
in the Royal Opera school and there
after received the best instruction Swe-
den could give. The child was Jenny

FIRST IROQUOlS TREATY.
1t Was Made Between the indians
and English In 1864.

anu EnSiISH IN IUOfs
The first treaty between the English
and the 1roquois was made on Sept
"a, 1864, and ushered in a friendship
that continued for more than a cen
fury The Iroquois had been alternate
ly at war and peace for sixty years,
and the English found their dusky al
lies valuable in che war with the
French for North American suprem-
acy.
The treaty with the Iroquois was one
of the first official acts Of the English
governor, who earlier in the same
month had taken over the Dutch pos
sessions and changed the name of New
Amsterdam to New York and that of
Fort Orange to Albany. In 1893 and
again three years later the French in
vaded the Iroquois country, and the
redskins lost half Of their warriors
In 1913 the French gave up all claim
to the Iroquois, and peace reigned for
a time, but in 1855 the warriors Joined
the English in the war for the conquest
of Canada.
When the American Revolution broke
out the Iroquois adhered to the crown.
At the conclusion of the war most of
the IroquOis took refuge in Canada.

To View Turnpike

Judge Holt appointed J. M. Byrd,
H. Fl. Terry and G. A. Bird as
viewers to examine and report as
to whether the S. & F. Turnpike is
in tollable condition.
They are to make their tour of
inspection June l, and report on
the 18th of that month, the Judge
stating that he had purposely fixed
the time so that contractors would
have a chance to give the road,
needed work, and lessen the posi-
bility of the gates being thrown
open as result of the viewers re-
port.
This point was wisely considered
by Judge Holt, and is in the inter-
est of county, for it would be un-
fortunate should these gentleman
find the road not in tollable condi-
ton. Much can be done during
May, and doubtless will be.

An Apology

We wish to explain to the large
crowd of people, especially the
strangers from distance. who
gathered at our church last Sum
DAY in answer to an invitation
sent to the Recorder last week by
"Sometimes." That there was no
such understanding among the
people of our neighborhood, and
that the invitation was given by
"Sometimes" entirely without our
knowledge or consent. And that
there was no preparation made to
furnish dinner to all present; there
fore we were very much bumiliated
by not being able to do so.
We hope those present will &C
cept this as an apology for our
apparent lack of hospitality.

Two of Augusta county supervi-
sors, Messrs. Evers and Roher, were
present at meeting of the county
Board here on Wednesday, the
purpose being to consider the terms
on which Augusta would take over
the eastern end of the pike, as
provided for in an act passed by
tie last Legislature. The contract
made with Mr.. Whistleman for
working that section of road has
not yet expired and work is yet
due the county, if we understand
the case, on account of money paid
this contractor, and which will now
come from Augusta, either IN tolls
on this particular section or from
some other SOURCE.
In equitably adjusting the con-
ditions involved, it will also be
necessary for Highland to return to
Augusta her pro rata of toll COLLECT
ed on the eastern section since the
emergency pike bill took effect.
The purpose of the Augusta
Board is to place a toll gate at
West Augusta, as a result of which
changes the rate at the Marsh al
gate will have to be reduced.
