How Coffee Got LIS Name.

Coffee takes it's name from Kaffa,
district of Abyssinia where it came
from and where it still grows in a
wild state. The story goes that in the
fifteenth century an Arab herder Of
goats, having noticed that his animals,
after browsing on the leaves and ber-
ries of certain bushes, became exceed1
ingly lively and playful, was prompted
by curiosity to chew a quantity of
these berries. He found them Of
pleasing taste and that they had the
same refreshing and stimulating effect
upon him. Having told other herders
Of this, they tried them in various
ways, until it was finally discovered
that the best results could be obtained
by making a strong infusion Of the
roasted beans in boiling water, which
yielded an aromatic beverage of pleas
ing taste. which greatly refreshed and
stimulated.

alighted and seeing several men in the
carriage shed back of the house, pro-

to make her appeal to the purse hold

other occupants of her machine heard
sounds indicating some presumably hu-
morous situation, and soon Miss Munro
emerged from the shed and showed to
her companions a double handful Of

NAVY Older Than Government.

The United States navy has the dis
tinction of being somewhat older than
the government itself, for nine months
before the actual Declaration Of indie
pendence congress authorized the con-
struction of two national cruisers
and appointed a committee to purchase
vessels to form the nucleus of fleet.
Within three months of its appoint
ment this committee got together IA

famous old sea dog, Paul Jones. Dur
ing the war of the revolution the in
FAINT navy captured as many as 800
prizes, but suffered so heavily that by
the time peace was declared it had al
most ceased to exist. A new start on
a more ambitious scale was made in
1894.

HOW Strawberry Got Its Name.

Two reasons obtain as to the origin
of the name of the strawberry, one
that the name was bestowed because
of the long stems which resemble
straws, and the other because of an
old custom of stringing the berries on
straws The strawberry succeeds from
Florida to Alaska, and while 1t does
best on a moderately rich loan soil.
yet it is susceptible to cultivation in
nearly all temperate or tropical cli-
mates. The principal wild strawber-
ries Of the United States are the era
garia virginiana" and the "Fragaria
americana" The everbearing type,
''Fragaria vesca," is native to Europe.
Garden varieties of strawberries have
been derived chiefly from the Gillian
strawberry, "Fragaria chiloensis," sEd
the Virginia species.

Electric ScrewdriVer.

An electric screwdriver is said to be
great time saver where any consid-
erable part of the workman's time is
taken up in driving screws. In the
construction of the tool a friction
clutch with a spring release is pro-
vided, so that when the pressure is re-
leased the driving bit does not revOlve,
but the motor continues in operation.

SEA WATER FOUND IN LAYERS

They show this TO be due to the
greater specific gravity of the under
layers compared to those above them.
In other words, the water is found
in strata. according to its weight, and
this prevents an up-and-down circula-

MOVE TO STOP FIGHT
AGAINST STONE,REED
Friends of Missouri Senators to
Oppose Meeting in Kenneth
Saturday.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 12.-It
was discovered today that either
United State Senators Stone and Reed
or some Of their close friends have
been busy the last few days stirring
up the Federal officeholders in Mis-
souri, who owe their jobs to one or
both Of the Senators, to keep down
dangerous sentiment looking to a
State gathering of Democrats to cen
sure the two Senators for their course
in Congress. Democratic postmasters
who own newspapers, or control them,
have been urged to head off this move.
The Tribune of this city,
a Democratic organ that is strong in
its support of Governor Gardner and
the party organ in this part of the
State, came out this evening with an
attack on two postmasters who are
trying to head of the movement. The
men the editorial is directed at are
w. H. Alexander, postmaster at Paris,
and James R. Lowell, postmaster at
Moberly.

LEMINC Will SELL
287 PRETTY LOTS
Great Auction Of Land to be
Held in South Cape
Next Week.

One Of the biggest lot sales eve,
held in Cape Girardeau will be auc.
toned by NJ. E. Leming the latter part
of next week, it became known yester.
day. Mr. Leming purchased 2s7 lots
from Louis Houck several months ago
and all of these will be disposed Of at
this big sale.
The lots are located on South Sprigg
street, considered the prettiest subdi-
vision Of the city. The lots cover ap-
proximately sixty acres of ground, and
huge shade trees grow upon many of
them.
The tract containing these lots was
the scene of the annual encampment of
the Missouri National Guards, which
was held in the Cape in the late sum-
mer of 1914. Since then Mr.. Houck
has sold many lots in that section of
the city and almost one hundred homes
have been erected.
This subdivision overlooks the Mis-
sissippi River for distance of many
miles, and its natural beauties surpass
any plot Of ground in the city, save
possibly that owned by St. Vincent's
College at Cape Rock.
Mr.. Leming expects to dispose Of
every lot before the sale closes, and he
will offer inducements in the way of
terms in order to get home builders
to locate there.

Famous Ozark Feud Ends
AS Noted Slayer Is Slain
Charley Hampton noted feudist of the hills dies the
result of mountain quarrel-Had slain two and
each time acquitted.

West Plains, Mo-, Sept. S.-The Ga
zette today publishes a "Deadwood
Dick" story from the Ozark hills. The
story follows:
Don't shoot him again; Charley is
dead" This was the plea Of Dave
Hampton, young brother of Charles
L. Hampton, shot to death by Joe w.
Long in an Ozark County feud last
week. The plea came when Long, aft
er shooting his enemy with a shotgun,
walked to the body with a drawn re-
volver, to fire again. Hampton was
killed instantly, the shot striking him
in the face and head. The top of his
head was blown off by the charge of
buckshot.
Hampton was a farmer and live
stock dealer and for many years had
lived near Dugginsville, in Ozark
County, within a short distance of
where an imaginary line separates the
States of Missouri and Arkansas. He
was well-to-do and widely known.
With the reputation of being a 'bad
man" he was both feared and respect
ed. Fifteen years ago Hampton shot
and killed Lewis Davenport, neigh
Dor, in quarrel. Hampton was tried
in the Ozark County Circuit Court and
acquitted. A few years later Hamp-
ton added another notch to his gun
when he killed Jack Fugate, another
neighbor. Again he was acquitted.
Last year Ebe Long shot Porter
Long, his cousin, and the old feud
again broke out. Porter Long is a
brother of Joe w. Long, of Duggins-
vile. Hampton took Ebe Longs part
and went on his bond. This caused
Joe w. Long to become angry. After
wards, when Hampton found one Of his
steers on the range with broken leg,
he said Joe w. Long did it. That
started chapter No. 2.
Hampton was walking along the
road on June 16, last, inspecting a
telephone line when he saw Joe w.
Long and his brother step from be-
hind big boulder. Each one had a
gun. Before Hampton could draw his
pistol Joe w. Long fired. twenty-five
shot entered Hampton's body. The

wounded man was quickly hauled in a
buggy to Gainesville. From there he
was rushed to Springfield in an auto
mobile.
For several months Hampton was in
st. Joseph's Hospital fighting a battle
against death. His devoted wife was
his nurse. He finally won out, only
to die soon after his return home at
the hands of his enemy.
Hampton and his younger brother
were walking along the road, on
their way to Dugginsville last week.
Ever since Hampton came home he
has carried shotgun. Long also went
armed. 1t was known in the neighbor-
hood that either Hampton or Long
would be shot when the men met
Long was in hiding behind cedar tree
and as Hampton passed Long fired.
Hampton was instantly killed. Dave
Hampton asked Long to go for help,
after Charley was dead. Long refused
and took to the hills. He is in hiding
and has not been arrested.
Ozark County officials say the shoot
ing was on the Arkansas side of the
line. The Marion County authorities
declare the crime was committed in
Missouri. 1t may require the work of
surveyor to locate the boundary line
and decide in which State the killing
took place.
Hampton was we'll known in West
Plains. He often came here on bust
ness. The killing took place in the
same neighborhood where "BilP'
Naves, notorious Ozark County fcud-
list several years ago shot three per-
| sons. Naves mounted his horse one
evening, Just at dawn, and shot and
wounded three persons from ambush,
one in Ozark County, another in Ma
rion County and the third in Baxter
County. He was tried at West Plains,
the case coming here on a change of
venue from Ozark County and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for two
years for the Ozark County shooting.
He was acquitted in Baxter and Ma
rion counties after serving term in the
Missouri prison.
