over the Blue Ridge into Kentucky.
This is so well told in a bulletin by
Profs. J. ]. Hooper and W. S. Ander-
son that it is given below:
Come to Kentucky
ut appears that a Mr.. Leer was in
the employ of Gen. Washington q
this time and on visit to his rela-
tives in Bourbon county, Kentucky,
he told of Washington's jack stock
and mules. Soon after this a small
jack was secured and brought to
Bourbon county, Kentucky. 1t at
tracted no little attention and COM
ment. The story is told in this coun-
ty that the people went miles just to
look at the little fellow.
Henry Clay introduced the Spanish
jack into Kentucky. The evidence
seems to point to him as the import
er of Don Carlos, Warrior and Ulys-
SEES. These were the very best that
could be secured and soon the mules,
produced by them out of Kentucky
mares, became noted and were in
great demand. The exact date is not
known, but somewhere about 1910 a
very large jack was imported to
Charleston, s. C. The voltage had
been a rough one and he had been
swung in hammock to prevent SER
ious danger as the ship rolled in the
storms. When set on shore he natur-
ally had but little use of his legs.
Young & Everett, of Montgomery
county, Kentucky, purchased him for
much less than his value. They Sc
cured Black John Mason to lead him
through from South Carolina to Ken
lucky. This he did, but the journey
required siN months. He would walk
the jack short distance and allow
him to rest and thus continued by
slow stages, until the long journey
was completed"

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysyille People.

As one weak link weakness q chain
so may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen.
orally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and ianguor and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Brights disease. When the kid
neys fail there is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof Of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 w. Second
St., says: About two years ago,
suffered from an attack Of kidney
trouble that had lasted for long
time. l had dull, constant ache in
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes
Of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
l haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. l gladly advise anyone
to get box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., If trou-
bled by their kidneys"
Mrs. Mann is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs.
Mann had-the remedy backed by
home testimony. 60 cents at all
stores. Foster-M ilburn Co., Props,

FIRST jAcKAsS
In Omerica Gift To Gen. Washington
From Spain-Henry Clay Was Pho.
neer of Mule Breeding
in Kentucky.

The public has lately learned that
Spain is to furnish Gen. Pershing
with a number of fine army mules
This is very interesting information
as Spain donated the foundation stock
for the mules which are raised
throughout the Southern portion OF
the United States.
Gen. Washington, who was won
derfully progressive farmer as well as
the father of his country, was the hrst
American to attempt the rearing OF
mules. Soon after the close OF the
Revolution he requested the repre-
sentative of the United States IN
Spain to sound the uowers and learn
If it would be possible ito procure
permission to extract jackass OF the
best breed" This especial request
was necessary because at that time
the expectation from Spain OF the
long-eared animals was prohibited
The King of Spain agreed to send the
hero of the Revolution two jacks and
two jennets One jack and two jen-
nets survived the slow ocean voyage
and were duly landed In Boston. They
came from there to Mt. Vernon under
the care of the Spaniard who brought
them over.
The big raw-boned beast was named
Royal Gift. 40 soon as he had en-
tirely recovered from his trip across
the Atlantic Royal Gift was sent
South as a sight for the natives. The
strange animal with its peculiar
whistling bray must have created
something of a sensation. Paul Le-
land Haworth in his delightful book,
George Washington, Farmer" says,
1--WE can we'll believe that the cry,
Gen. Washington's jackass is COM
ing!s was always sufficient to attract
a paying crowd"
Lafayette, learning of Gen. Wash
ington's interest in the breeding OF
jacks, jennets and mules. sent the
American hero from the Island of
Malta another jack and two jennets
This new jack was soon known as the
Knight of Malta. Washington. by
blending these two strains of jack
blood, was ultimately able to produce
a wonderfully fine smooth jack which
he very facetiously dubbed Com
pound" During this time the farmer
George Washington, had raised a num-

That he had become interested In

Nobody Gan Tell When You Darken Grays Faded Haiy
 with Sage Tea

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and luatre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trou- blesome. Nowadays. by asking at any drug store for 'rWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition or other ingredients. for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray! Try it No ore can possibly tell that. You darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not in
