II now scrutinized the Deaths
head with care. Its outer edges
the edges of the drawing nearest
the edge of the vellum-were far
more distinct than the others. 1t
was clear that the action of the
caloric had been imperfect or I'M
equal. | Immediately kindled a
fire. and subjected every portion Of
the parchment to a glowing heat.
At first, the only effect was the
strengthening Of the faint lines
Of the skull; but, upon persevering
in the experiment, there became
visible, at the corner of the slip,
diagonally opposite to the spot in
which the death 's-head was define
ated, the figure of what I at first
supposed to be a goat. A closer
scrutiny, however, satisfied me
that it was intended for kid"
"Ha! hal" said !. "to be sure I
have no right to laugh at you-a
million and half of money is too
serious a matter for mirth-but
you are not about to establish a
third link In your chain-you will
not find any especial connection
between your pirates and goat
pirates, you know, have nothing to
do with goats; they appertain to
the farming interest"
But l have just said that the
figure was not that of a goat"
well, a kid then-pretty much
the same thing"
Pretty much, but not altogeth-

animal as a kind of punning or
hieroglyphical signature. l say

upon the vellum suggested this
idea. The death 's-head at the cor
ner diagonally opposite, had, in
/ the same manner, the air of q
stamp, or seal. But l was sorely
put out by the absence of all else
of the body to my imagined in
strument-of the text for my con-
text"
II presume you expected to find
a letter between the stamp and
the signature.
Something of that kind. The
fact is, felt irresistibly impressed
with a presentiment of some vast
good fortune impending. I can
scarcely say why. Perhaps, after
all, it was rather a desire than an
actual belief but do you know
that Jupiter's silly words, about
the bug being of solid gold, had a
remarkable effect upon my fancy?
And then the series Of accidents
and coincidences-these were so
very extraordinary. Do you OBJ

Lexington SeleCtmen Send Registration
Day MESSAGE to Americas Young Men

BY THE SELECTMEN OF LEXINGTON.
LEXINGTON, Mass, June 5.-This Registration
Day. 1917 will stand in history with Lexington Day.
Then began on the village green at Lexington bat
tie for democracy which has become the world war Of
today
Americans of 1775 had no difficulty in seeing
the Atlantic.
We their descendants should have less difficulty in
realizing duty to serve the interest of democracy
against autocracy.
The imperial German government is not only wan
tonly numbering American citizens the high seas,
but is also threatening the very existence of cvza
uon and human liberty.
The people Of Lexington, ready now as in Its to
make sacrifices In the cause of freedom against
tyranny challenge the attention of such inhabitants
Of the United States not even at this late hour
fully alive to the dangers that threaten the life of the
nation.
Sleeping patriotism must everywhere awaken to an
intelligent and loyal public spirit which shall actively
carry out whatever measures are most conducive to
the national welfare.
We thankfully acknowledge whatever debt we al
ready owe to the armies and navies of the allies.
We must prove our entire and hearty sympathy
with the of liberty for which the allied govern
ments are now fighting.
It is not enough that we serve our allies by granting
them loans of money on such favorable terms shall
show our gratitude for their help in the past and in
the present.
we must make ready to fight with them and for
them.
BY doing less we could neither be true to ourselves
nor to those who spending blood and treasure in
support of cause that is ours as well as theirs.
The hundred Minute Men of 1775 have become the
million registered to defend democracy in 1917.

DEATH CAUSES GREAT SADNESS

Wednesday afternoon when the
message came that Robert Fox had
met death in the Danville railroad
yards the whole community in which
he lived was saddened. No young
man was more loved by all, both
young and old than was Robert. With
the old he was always patient and
gentle, never was he in too much of
hurry or too busy for word with
any child he met. We can only say
that to know Robert was to be his
friend. Long before the hour for the
funeral services the Baptist church
at junction City was crowded with
loving and sympathizing friends who
had gathered to pay their last tribute
of love and respect TO the noble boy
After the services by DR.. Eberhardt
the remains were buried in the June
ton City cemetery beneath mass of
flowers. He leaves a father and
mother besides several sisters and
brothers to mourn the taking away
of his young life. With the mother.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in

inhamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely

DENY YOURSELF los LOAVES

1t was calculated, roughly, by a
statistician in Chicago that to make
up the deficiency in the wheat crop
every person in the United States
would have to deny himself of 105
loaves of bread. The calculation was
inspired by the campaign of the De
partment of Agriculture for decreas'
ing the use of wheat flour and using
more corn and hominy. The present
and prospective deficiency in wheat
as compared with the average of five
wears is 189,O00,0O0 bushels. 1t re-
quires approximately four and one
half bushels to make a 196-pound
barrel of patent -four. 1t is estimated
that each barrel will produce 900
one-pound loaves.

shot gun in the left leg at the ankle,
Saturday during the lunch hour. A
huge hole was bored through the an
lie. He was taken to the Liberal
hospital and the foot was amputated
Mr. hide had been putting on new
hammer on the gun and was making
adjustments. He probably doesn't
know just how it was done. For a
few minutes he sat where the acci-
dent occurred and never groaned, ex-
hibiting considerable nerve. Since
TIE operation he has suffered much,
Slut according to last reports he is
Retting along as well as could be ex-
pected.
Mr.. hide will not be able to go to
work for some time, and Agent
Hemphill says the place is not easily
handled except by one being expert

scarce. Mr.. hide is considered good
man for the position and has been
there for some time He was thinking

Fourteen men in civilian clothes,
the first of the quota form Seward
county for the United States army
went to the depot Friday afternoon
to board the train for Camp Fun
ston. Hundreds of people of the city
accompanied them. There were re-
latives, sweethearts and friends.
During the few moments before the
train arrived the soldier boys bade
good bye to friends. There were a
few shrill cries of farewell and many
fearful yet brave goodbyes. A men,
Der of the local draft board called
the roll and all of the fourteen ans
wered. No one ever thought of try
ing to avoid the draft. 1t may be
that some thought it hard to leave
their interests and go to war, but
evidently no thought was entertain
ed about lodging as has been report
ed in other counties.
When the train arrived there were
four coaches conveying the soldier
boys from New Mexico. These men
represented different phase of life.
Our boys were mostly from the
farms and few were clerks, but the
boys from New Mexico came from
the ranches and the mines and they
came into the station with yell that
was terrific. Some of them had been
imbiding some and in many cases
their enthusiasm was stimulated, yet
they were strong appearing and ap-
peared ready for army life.
With motherly kisses and sisterly

embraces and last word to sweet
hearts, the Seward county boys left
the city.
A farewell party was given the
first fourteen men of the quota from
Seward county Thursday evening in
the new brick Of \. A. Farmer on
Kansas Avenue
The meeting was opened by pray
er by the Rev. C. D. Hestwood of
the M. E. church. The Rev. Mac
Lehman of the Presbyterian church
gave an excellent address. Clyde R..
Commons gave talk, and Mrs. Grin
stead gave words of cheer to the boys
and said she expected much OF them.
E. j. Thayer and the Rev. MacLen-
nan made the presentation speeches
for the business men who had foun-
tain pens for the boys and the Pres
byterian ladies' aid society who had
comfort kits for each member of the
contingent. The comfort bags furn-
ished by the W. c. T. U. was present
ed by Mrs. .Grinstead at the depot.
Orchestral music was interspersed in
the program and was enjoyed, and
hte numbers from the male quartet
received its share of applause. The
building was packed with people and
hundreds failed to get in hearing
distance of the speakers. The Demo
crat has word from the boys that
they appreciated the meeting much
ED will remember it as long as they
live.
