Never before has so much emphasis
been placed on the use of books as
aids in ones calling or vocation, eth
er as preparation for entrance into
it, or an enlarged view Of it. The
camp libraries and the military train
ing are responsible for this and as
the "boys come home" they will con-
tinue the habit formed. Of the books
recommended by the American Lii
brary Association and largely used
in the camps the library has the fol-

Following is the latest town gossip
told by John Mcconnell at the Liter
ary:
It is officially reported that the
electric light plant was on duty at
one o'clock A. NJ. Sunday. We are
unable to learn what the trouble was.
o. A. Bella was a pleasure seeker
at Williston Saturday, leaving here
on rear end of the local freight. Ag-
mes persued the william on No. 3 and
returned with hi msafe the next morn
ing. Shortie ha sheen confined to his
bed most Of the time since.
Miss Rawitscher visited home folks
at Williston Saturday. She advised
that it is necessary for her to 60 to
Williston once each week in order
that she may get one good nights
sleep. It is also reported that she
spends the entire evening and some
of the smaller hours of the morning
entertaining a friend. This is unoffi-
cial. .E%
One of the most cruel and hard
hearted crimes that have been COM
mitted in our village for number
of years was pulled in the outskirts
of the town near north 42nd st.,
when Mrs. Grace Beachler willfully
and maliciously picked up a large,
rough and mean looking handaxe and
deliberately proceeded to chop the
head entirely off of a perfectly harm
lessly, Blue blooded Buff Orphington
chicken. This is, we are sure, the
first time this has happened at the
Beachler ranch.

Gemberling and wife Ellen were eat

Acid Stomach Ruins
Health Of Millions

Besides those painful attacks of in
digestion: that awful bloated. lumpy
feeling after eating and. downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced it know so well; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating.
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this. ACID-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength of millions.
If you don't get rid of those stomach
miseres there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end. for it is a
well known scientific fact that mauy
serious ailments have their start IN
an acid-stomach.
Start now-this very day-to get rid
Of your stomach miseries. Take
EATONIC-the wonderful remedy
that absorbs the excess acid from the
stomach and brings INSTANT relief.
You simply have no idea how much
better. stronger and brighter you feel
at once. 1t drives out all the gas and

Then she kissed the cypria- In that
moment her eyes closed, and her last
sigh drifted into the beautiful shell.
Now, Lureeny was going to give this
precious thing to her hero, the com
passionate Lincoln. Who but he was
worthy of this gift over which had
swept the pure breath of the maiden
who died of broken heart? Some
times Lureeny put the shell to her ear
and the soft breath of her young mis-
tress seemed to be signing inside.
Days the poor old couple jOurneyed
on, weary and disappointed that the
way was so interminable. At last they
reached a height from which they
could see in the distance the goal of
their efforts, the city of Washington.
They both lifted their hands in JOY
and thankfulness. 1t was more beau
tiful than they had dreamed.
"Oh, 'LOnzo, it is like the new Jeru-

The feeble eyes of the old man
were clear enough to see that Lureeny
was very weak and weary. She re-
piled:
"You hasn't got bit O. sense. But,
duz feel kinder chillin! Pears like
sumpin in hyar is plum wore out, dess
like ole clock mos run down. And.
II We tu'n 'em inside out"
Lureeny felt strangely weak and
cold. A chill such as she had never
felt before benumbed her by degrees.
So strange did she feel that she called
her husband.
"'LOnzo, I is awful col. reckon

There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life
has lost all its joys. Remember. just
az acid-mouth ruins teeth, so acid
stomach ruins health.
Take EATONIC. It's good, just like
bit of candy and makes the stomach
feel fine You can then eat the things
you like and, what is more, every
mouthful you eat will count in creating
power and energy. You'll feel so much
better-have punch and pep-the pow
er and will to do. things and get re
suits, and your stomach misery Will be
gone.
Take our advice. Get big box of
EATONIC from your druggist today.
1t costs so little. If 1t fails to remove
your stomach distress. he will refund
your money. That is guaranteed; you
are to be satisfied or money refunded.

~ ANNONS were booming down
the valley and at intervals
there was the sharp rattle of
musketry. Bodies Of soldiers,
some in blue and some in gray, were
seen in places along the valleys and
broken ground. But they were all far
from the little 'rain-washed crevice on
the side OF the mountain where. an old
negro stood scanning the distant
scene as well as his half-blind eyes
would permit. After looking he would
return to. the farthest end OF the
crevice.

60 long, Lonzo?"
II reckon hit IL never git done," said
the old man, nodding his head to the
frightened woman, who crOuched down
into the smallest possible space.
It was no wonder she was afraid,
for the war had swept away the last
member of her old masters family.
And nothing remained of the fine plan
tat1Dn and home but blackened Chin
neys, for the tide of war had swept
back and forth over 1t until all was
gone. 80"
Alonzo went to the edge of the little
rift in the mountainside and looked
down the valley, but his bleared eyes
were filed with tears he dared not
shed, and his broad chest heaved with
the sobs he held in check. Finally he
cleared his throat with mighty eff
fort and said:
II reckon we might git Ober the
ridge fo' dahk, but we got ter creep
mighty close to de gully tell we reach
de timbah. Mebbe we fin fahmeh
w'atll give US bite an let us sleep in

With many groans the woman rose
to her feet, tottering with weakness,
for since the sweeping away of her
masters family, the destruction of the
plantations, and the death of their chill
dren these two had suffered terribly
from privation. For the last three
days they had lived entirely upon wild
fruit. But they struggled onward
toward Washington, where in their
simple hearts they believed the good,
the tender, the human Lincoln would
make them welcome.
They had their Sunday garments in
little bundles, and in her bosom care

asked if it were not very precious the

white head and wrinkled face haunted
the grounds. He was not allowed to
see the president.
At last, one day, worn out by his
sufferings he sank at the foot of n
tree just as the joyous voice of child
was heard. The boy was none other
than Tad, the Benjamin Of his fathers
heart. Tad saw the poor old man
vainly trying to rise and went to him
frankly and fearlessly. Young as he
was he saw that the old man was in
sad state and asked if he wanted
anything.
"Yes, young massa, I wants to see
Mass Linkum. 1 done got sumpiD

swell, you come with me-" said the
lad, with spirit.
Alonzo could scarcely totter to u
place where the boy seated him on a
bench saying:
"Wait here minute. I'll bring
him."
Tears streamed down the old mans
face. He was weak from hunger and
exposure, and the death Of his wife
was Il great blow. He fumbled in his
pocket and brought out the shell, and
thinking that the cloth around it was
too sOiled he threw it away, and then
before him stood the tall form, with
the rugged features of his face aglOw
with deep compassion that was part
of his nature. The great man, great
in all things, sat down by Alonzo say
ing pleasantly: ':.
"Well. uncle, what is it?"

'Oh, yes, you do, daddy. Yes, you

Then the homely face of Lincoln
quivered and his eyes suddenly burned.
