Record Horseback Rides.

There is a reliable account given Of
an Englishman, Squire Osbald-
stone having ridden, in 1881, 200 miles
in ten hours. In doing this, however.
he rode 16 horses and changed every
four miles. a wonderful test OF en-
durance and pluck was the case Of
Capt Charles Townley, another Eng.
fish cayalryman. who, in 1919, lode
with dispatches from Belgrade to Con-
stantlnople, 500 miles. He remuncd
in the saddle five days and II hours
without rest except on one occasion
for six hours and the time consumed
In changing to fresh horses. Twice
the horse he rode dropped under him
from exhaustion 1t was a historic
ride, for upon the event Of his arriving
in Constantlnople ahead of all other
courlcrs hung the decision Of Che war.
which by lis accomplishing the feat
was aycrted.

MILLIONAIRE KEPT AGED
WIFE FENCED IN HOME
Feared She Would "Meet Men"
Daughter Says in Petition to
Break Will.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-The
late Peter ONeil. millionaire manu-
facturer OF this city, built q barbed
wire fence around his palatial home
at Melrose, Pa. fearing his aged wife
might sneak out and meet men," his
daughter declares.
The daughter. Mrs. Mary Donnelly,
in a petition to set aside her fathers
will, filed in orphans court, also set.
forth other alleged peculiarities OF
her father. She declares that when
her mother went shopping or to
church, the chauffeur of tho family
au; ;omobile was cross-questioned on
their return, and made to give min
ute details as to how much time she
had spent in different places, the peo-
pie she had met. He also employed
detectives to watch his wife, the
daughter says.
O'Neil died nearly a year ago, leav-
ing an estate valued at 81 900, 900.
The millionaire testator, according
to the petition, at the time he made
his will and codicil. in 1913 and 1917
and for many years before, "was
addicted to the excessive use OF in
toxicating liquors and labored under
the hallucination that his wife, an
aged woman, always true and dutiful
was unfaithful to him."

REDPER|L NOT seen
. BY PREMIER, CLAIM
Winston Churchill Says Lloyd
7 George Underestimates
...,, Danger. e,

PARIS, Jan. .19.-It has been noised
about Paris that the communication
regarding the menace of Bolshevism
which was recently issued from the
war office at London was in conse-
quence of a difference OF policy from
that advocated by Lloyd George.
The British secretary OF war. Win
ston Spencer Churchill, has himself
told Lloyd George that, while he did
not know OF the issuance of the doc
ument. he believed that the premier
underestimated the peril OF armed
Bolshevism.
1t has been explained to the prime
minister that the war office associ-
ates of Mr.. Churchill. knowing how
strongly he felt on the subject OF
Bolshevism, undertook to influence
public opinion in the direction of
their chiefs convictions.
If Mr.. Churchilrs views were ac-
cepted, the allies would invade Rus
sia for the purpose of destroying Boil
shevism in it's home, while Mr.. Lloyd
Georges view is that such action
would amount to war against Soviet
Russian people.
Hence Mr.. Lloyd Gebrge. on the
very day the communication was is
sued by the British war office, insist
ed upon the supreme council partially
raising the blockade against Russia,
the allied prime ministers intending
to show indirect acceptance of the
changed conditions in Russia by per-
hitting free trade in food, clothing,
and other nonmilitary commodities
without diplomatic relations.

| BUTTON ON TOES;
Tells why a corn 10 % painful
and says cutting makes
them grow.

Press an electric button and you
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn 1t
pushes it's sharp roots down upon
a sensitive nerve and you get n
shock of pain.
Instead Of trimming your corns,
which merely make them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask
for a quarter of an ounce of Free
zoLe. This will cost very little, but
is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones
feet. A few drops applied directly
upon n tender. aching corn stops the
soreness instantly. and soon the
corn shrivels up so it lifts right
out, root and all, without pain. This
drug never infiames or ever irri-
tates the surrounding tissue or
