! bit about the source of the shipley

a bit about the source of the Shipley millions. That was because Gabe Shipley was able to tell so little about them. Uncle Jim Mccoy had gone away when he (Gabe) was only 10 years old, he said. That was in 1859. Some of the young bloods of Sharpsburg had fixed up this wagon train party and Uncle Jim had poined it and they had started out for Cali fornia.
 Gold Clogged Aqucducts.
 Everybody knows, of course, that there was so much gold out there in those days that it used to blow around in strong wind and get in the food and everything. Uncle Jim got there in time for one of the strong winds. And recently he passed away.
 He never married. He had three brothers, all of whom have died And one of them, Mike, had married and left son, Gabriel. It is he, the lock tender, II years old, who will shortly start the life of the idle rich in Hagerstown.
 Urilly, though, probably will have something to say about it. She had an idea about that $7,000,000 tha. never occurred to Gabe.
 "I guess we'll give good deal of it to the poor" she said.

Architects Plan
 to Stop HideOus
 City DefO1mities

Montevideo, May 6.Worldwide legislation to stop the "hideous de- formity" of streets, parks, gardens and plazas and to beautify all cities was advocated at the first Congress of Architects which has just closed it's sessions here.
 Representatives were present from all South American countries as well as from the United States. The Con- gress in proposing legislation for the adoption of regular plans and the To- cation of public buildings and mon uments, recommended the continua. ton of the system of uniform squares. Classes in "urbanization' in universities and special schools o1 architecture were also proposed, a resolution stating that these were indispensable for the culture of the people.
 Emphasis was also laid on the neet of construction with government ali. of cheap and hygienic homes for la. borers in industrial sections. The Congress urged also that there should be established in each coun. try a National Bank for the Con- struction of Economic Houses" with funds contributed by employers and capitalists.

Better Days for
 Boy Transients

Chicago, May 8.-The stray boy who for dinner flattens his nose against the bakery window and who at night sleeps with grown-up tramps in the park or in the back alley shed, will come upon better days If the plan of George w. Brown, of Chl- cago, works out.
 A hotel for boys, to be operated SO far as feasible by boys, and fit ted up in way to attract the young ster who finds himself in vast Chl- cago temporarily or permanently without home, is the idea ot MT Brown, who for a decade, has gwen most of his time to volunteer work among homeless boys. His work has brought him in touch with juvenile court officials in many cities and he has enlisted their support in hls ei- forts to obtain transient hotel for boys" between the ages of IA and IT. Joseph Tumulty, the presidents sec retary, a schoolmate of MT. Brown, has lent his aid to some of MT Browns boy sbctterment schemes.
 "The Y. M. c. A. conducts in Chi cago, a transient hotel for men, a high skyscraper, calculated to give it's tenants clean surroundings, nor ally and physically, hut homeless boys under IT, hundreds of whom drift into Chicago every week, may rely on the dangerous expedient of seeking a rooming house, or, if with out funds may sleep behind ash bar rels," Mir. Brown said today. l have housed scores of these boys in my own home until jobs and recurren' pay-days drifted them off the rocks and I know what even a few days iol

his entire account for that one pop ular article. Of course, the pio- neers raised most of their food sup plies and the material that went into their clothing, but the store keeper handled boots and shoes, hats, calico, needles and thread, and a great many other articles supposed to be needed by the settlers. He didn't run dramshop by any means, not that alone. He was a merchant, a man who handled all sorts of commodities for the family He never featured his liquor al tho that gave him by far the big ger part of his income.
 Storekeeper Money Lender.
 The storekeeper was rhost valu- able advance guard of civilization If man was out of mohey and wanted $10 to buy 100 acres of land or house, or anything else, he would go to the storckeeper for it The storekeeper would accommodate him just as readily as he would sell him plug of tobacco. There are many accounts on Georges book fol money loaned to the pioneers ir sums ranging from $15O to $25 and it is we'll to remember the lat ter was prodigious amount in those days. If the pioneer needed some extra labor out on his plantation he would hire a slave from the store keeper paying few dollars month for the service. The book contain. 9 charge of $48.18 against James H
 -, for work done by a negro gir named Bet. The annual value o1 i Bets services was fixed by store keeper and customer at $40.
 Potatoes then sold for 25 cents { ! bushel and eggs were worth 3 cent: a dozen.
 Robert - was charged with 2! cents for quart of xxx Kentuck! whiskey and on the same day with 5' cents for a quart of whiskey and bot tie. Today quart of whisky ant bottle would bring $20 or more. I looks like the extra quarter was fo, | the bottle.
 , Money payments were at long in i tervals. A customer was carried un til he sold his tobacco or timber o

OLD ACCOUNT BOOK
 SHOWS PIONEERS
 AS HARD DRINKERS
Charges Mostly for Liquor Three Cents
 Then

Macon, Ga, May 6.-In giving over old records, County Clerk Damerson of Macon recently discovered an age yellowed book that had started out as an account book for Robert George, storekeeper at Bloomington, Mo-, in 1886, and ended up as court docket for Squire Walker Austin.
 The storekeeper's account book rep resented men who had shouldcred their axes and flintlock muskets and set out with their families from Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee to start new communities in the wild erness of Missouri. These men would tramp dozen or so miles every day or so to sample Storekeep- CT Georges applejack and brandy.
 Eye-Openers Recorded.
 When George started his record book he hung up the "eye-openers" this way: "One drink O6" meaning the customer owed six cents for a drink. But after seeing the method was going to take up too much space he shortened it to "do. G." Some of the best citizens in the settlement would start in of an early morning and run several lines of "do 6s' across the book, and never miss the trail home. A simple illustration from Jethro's account will show the method:
 "Jan. 1 drink O6, 2d. do 6, 4th do. 6. 9th, do 6, 20th, 1 do 6, an other do 6; 23rd do. 6; Mar z, at wine 50 cents."
 i William ----- ran an accoun! amounting to $4.O6 in January and February, 1886. All of it was com posed of "do 6s," with the excep ton of one item of 25 cents for 2 plug of tobacco.
 1 Scattered through the account: are small items for pencils, crackers candies and cheese, but practically the debt is for "do. G." There are nc exceptions. Every man whose name appears on the old book owed nearly

DOES YOUR BACK ACHEl

II you are troubled with back aches,
it is bet that they are caused by weak
Kidneys; they don't perform their du-
ties, and you should look out, as there
is trouble brewing.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells, and it is more than
likely to bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, full of
sediment, your sleep disturbed by be-
ing compelled to arise, one or more
times during the night, because of the
pain, irritation and abnormal condition
OF the kidneys and bladder.
If you will take from 10 to 20 drops
of SEVEN BARI<S in little water
after meals, you will correct the aka
Unity of your, secretions, thus giving
you undisturbed sleep and peaceful
rest, preparing you for your next days
duties.
When the kidneys are not doing their
duty they allow impurities TO accumu-
late and be converted into uric acid
and other poisons, which will cause
serious trouble unless they arc driven
from your system.
If you eat meat regularly, YOU should
flush the kidneys occasionally with
SEVEN BARKS, as meat forms uric
acid which clogs the pores, so they
can not throw off the poisons.
Don't neglect your kidney trouble
with the first, symptoms. YOU will be
sorry il you do. Get SEVEN BARKS
