Indians and Time.

Certain Of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar of their an
cestors. The Indian method was to
compute time by sleeps and moons.
A sleep is tw~enty-four hours, and a
moon is a month. There is also a
midmoon, where the sun is at II
o'clock meridian. This hour is indi-
Gated by pointing overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky he meant 8 o'clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
3 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there was a moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Were an Indian asked the
distance to a certain place or how far
he had come, he would say so many
sleeps, or days travel. A sleep, as
describing distance, was about thirty
five miles when walking deliberately
or from fifty to seventy-fve miles if
going in haste with a message.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

The First Atlas.

The first modern atlas was the work
Of Abraham Ortelius. a Dutch geogra-
pher, who died 51S years ago. His
monumental treatise, entitled 'The-
atrum Orbis Terrarum," was first pub
lished at Antwerp in 1870 and was re-
vised and reissued five times during
the authors lifetime. 1t was q folio
volume containing nearly a huedred
maps, representing the different coun-
tries and continents as they were then
known. Although this atlas was a
momfntous achievement, yet a bright
schoolboy today could draw maps from
memory with a better approximation
to correctness. Even England and
Scotland appear in this pioneer volume
with amazing distortions of coast line
and relative area, and many other
maps in the volume bear only a slight
resemblance to those of today.-New
York World.

ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or caIIuses SO they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch RIM! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corr or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says ~freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft-corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to. order a small bot

Charles A. Kendrick

The remains of Mr.. Chas. A.
Kendrick, father of Mrs. Thomas
j. Lilly, of Chesterville, reached
Tupelo early Saturday morning
and interment took place in Glen
wood cemetery the same day.
Mr.. Kendrick had passed the
three score milepost on the jour-
ney of life, and those who knew
him best revered him for his
high mental attainments and his
strong attributes of mind and
heart.
He was born in GAINESVILLE,
Ca, in 1870. When merely a lad
of 16 he joined the Georgia vol
unteers and served as drummer
boy for a while, then was pro-
NOTED and his company sent to
Virginia where he fought for the
cause he deemed right until the
close of the war. He received a
fine literary education in Roches-
ter. N. Y, fuently speaking
Latin, Greek, French, German
and Italian. He wrote several
beautiful poems and many medi-
cal articles, in which his facile
pen seemed to excel. He was a
deep student of the Bible, hav-
ing studied for the ministry at
Greenvllle, S. G. At this place
he met, loved and married Miss
Ida May Elford about 1870. To
this union there were born eight
children, all of whom died in
infancy except one daughter,
Mrs. Maude Kendrick Lilly, of
Chesterville.
Mr.. Kendrick was a refined.
courteous, christian gentleman
of the old Southern type. notice
ably standing above his fellows
in kindness of heart to great and
small. He especially loved little
children. : Birds and creatures
always found in him a friend, and
the needy ones of earth a SYM
pathizing brother.
His last illness was of about a
years duration, all during which
time his faith in his Redeemer
never faltered nor changed. The
long 70 years of his life bear tes-
timony of an endless faith in the
Rock of Ages, and a boundless
trust in the strong arms of the
Most High.
His wife, Mrs. Ida May Ken
drick. preceded him in death,
having died April Sd, 1897. He
was buried by her side in Glen
wood cemetery January 9th,
1917. With long life God has
satisfied him, and in the Heaven
ly Jerusalem has shown him His
salvation.
Though life at times to all
seems but a bitter struggle. yet
characters like this, exalted in
mind and heart, forgetful of
their own sorrows, leave the
world better for their passing,
and though their loved ones
mourn, it is not as those who
have no hope. for the future is
so bright to those whose lives
were anchored on the Rock OF
Ages. Mr.. Hendricks favorite
poem was Tennyson's Crossing
the Bar" and his loving daugh-
ter and other relatives and
friends may find init most tender
consolation.
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no mourning at the
bar
When | put out to sea
But such a tide as moving seems asleel
Too full for sound and foam
When that which drew from out thu
boundless deep
Turns again home.
