DODSON WARNS
 CALO|MEL USERS
It's Mercury! Attacks the Bones, Salivates and Makes
 You Sick.

There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating calo- mel when few cents buys a large bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as sure ly as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate.
 Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per fectly harmless.
 Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated to- morrow. Don't lose a days work. Take spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in- stead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipa- tion, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your drug gfst says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you. -AdvertiSement

 You needn't broke in the embit- tered Bill Dale. "I can get the neces- sary funds without difficulty. Pll pay the debt myself. You've had great many years in which to try to make amends, and you haven't done any thing You might have helped the Morelands without their even knowing that it was you-especially as they seem to have known you by another name-and that's the only way you could have helped them. Here you have one reason why l cannot accept assistance from you; don't you see, fla ther? The Morelands wouldn't have it, and 1 couldn't lie to them."
 He motioned to McLaurin, who had halted on the lower veranda step in order that he might not overhear, and turned and walked away. McLaurin followed, and soon overlook him.
 Bill Dale stopped suddenly and faced back to his father.
 'Remember that Bobby gets his house and lot v
 "Yes," replied John K. Dale, Bobby gets his house and lot"
 He went sadly toward the mansion that seemed to him now good deal ike tomb. Young Dale touched his friend on the arm.
 "rell me, what did mother say? 1 know it's going to hurt, but-tell it." She was sitting beside an open Win dow in the library" said McLaurin. "'I told her that you were at the gate, and asked if she would like to see you. At first l was afraid she hadn't heard me. Then she opened book that she was reading, found her place and

"But 1 thought, as they sent for me"
 Babe Litt!eford's fingers held tightly to his. Tt was me that sent fo' you"
 She turned her face the other way. Il was so lonesome, Bill Dale!"
 Robert McLaurins wife, Patricia, visited Babe twice daily, and friend ship that was none the less warm for being unique sprang up quickly be- tween them. Patricia declared to her husband that she was going to keep Babe-whom she was already calling by her proper name, the same being ElizaDeth-and educate her. There was room ln the bungalow, Patricia said; and she really needed company, because Bobby was away so much.
 Babe accepted little Mrs McLaurin's offer as soon as Bill Dale convinced her that she wouldn't be merely an ob- ject of charity. The hill brides first law is that one must pay for what he gets-and it's probably the first law God laid down for old Adam in Eden. Ben Littleford seemed bewil- dered and blue when they told him of the arrangement, but he voiced no ob- jection. Dale pressed upon him a loan of hundred dollars, and or dered him to give it to his daughter, which he did. Elizabeth Littleford, of course, would need new clothing.
 Il ain't even got any dresses at home,' she Whispered to Patricia, but two."
 Bill Dale was sure now that he loved Babe, and he was almost sure that she cared for him. But he was quite properly in no haste to come to all understanding. He had known all along that Babe would have to be educated and a woman's tastes, he reasoned might change with educa- tion. And he wanted her to have the opportunity of knowing other men of his class. If she couldn't love him with lasting love- he didn't want her to love him at all

Major Bradley and Henderson Golf.
 When Bill Dale, the expert mining i man Hayes and the two mountaineerS stepped from a short passenger train at the Halfway switch, they were ap- preached by the moonshiner, Heck, and a man whom Dale had never seen before. He was tall, and his bearing was erect and soldierlike, though he was every day of sixty years old His eyes were blue and twinkling with everlasting good humor; his gray mustaches and imperial were exceed ingly well cared for; his teeth were his own, and as white as. a school girls, and they bore out his general air of neatness. He was, plainly. a Southerner of the old type.
 Who's that?" whispered Dale to John Moreland.
 But sMoreland didn't hear He ran forward with his right hand out stretched, and so did Ben Littleford. Men could not have greeted a brother with more gladness, Dale thought.
 "Hi, thar, Major Bradley!' the hill- fnan cried And how dye come on today?"
 ''I am very we'll, gentlemen, thank you said the major, smiling.
 He shook their hands heartily. "The trainmen gave us your message yester- day. he went on, still smiling, "and we were delighted to learn that the young woman was out of danger. I trust you are all in good health gen tlemen."
 They assured him that they were Moreland turned to introduce Bill Dale and the mining man. From the mo- ment that Major Bradley gripped Dale's hand they were friends.
 Mighty glad to know you, sir" exclaimed the old lawyer. I've been hearing a great deal about you, sir, over in the valley of the Doe They seem to think there's nobody just like Bill Dale! It was Bill Dale this, and Bill Dale that; it was Heres where Bill Dale whipped Black Adams' or, Here's where Bill Dale was stanG- ing when such-and-such happened ol, Here's where Bill Dale crossed the fence r"
 "Hah-hah-hah !" sluggishly laughed By Heck, who stood leaning on tie muzzle of his rifle Bill Dale is all right, major; ye've shore got my word fo' that"
 The others laughed Then Jonn Moreland said they'd better be 1nov- ing, or they'd be late for dinner
 When they had put hundred yards of David Moreland's mountain beHind them, the old Southerner tugged s;yIy at Dale's sleeve and whispered:
 Let us fall behind little, if you please. 1 want to speak with you privately"
 They began to lag, and soon there was distance of several rods be- tween them and the others.
 "I heard through Addie Moreland." began Bradley, his friendly hand on the younger mans arm, 'about you and what you're planning to do for the Morelands. 1 tell you, sir. | thanked heaven for your coming, and you may count on me to help in any way 1 can. The Morelands are quite friendly to me now, though up to the middle of last summer they didn't like me any too we'll because I made Ben

Dale was jubilant. Here was a rare stroke of good fortune. He went to McLaurin-who had not yet found John Moreland and Ben Littleford- and told him about it. McLaurin was almost as happy as Dale over it. A bellboy appeared like observation-disclosures in the center of the floor. "Mistoh Cahlyle Dale Mistoh Cahlyle Dale ?"
 Dale wheeled. "Well?"

 Dale shook hands with McLaurin and hurried toward the street.
 A few minutes later Doctor Braemer met him in the reception room.

 He turned and led the way through a long corridor and to a sunny white room where Babe Littleford lay with a bandage about her temples Ben Lit tleford was on his knees at his daughters bedside; he was slowly wringing his big, rough hands and beg ging piteously to be forgiven.
 Babe stared at him q tritie coldly. She hafnot yet seen the two men who

 You hush, pap, and go away. I'd told ye a hunderd times about tghtin' a-bein' murder, and specially to us wimmenfolks, and you never would pay any 'tention to me. You hush, pap, and go away. Eff l die, Pll jest haf to die. And eff 1 die, 1 shore do want to die in peace, Go way, pap"
 But ye must live, Babe, honey '" Ben Lfttleford moaned. Eff you was to die, what'd 1 doY"

 There was a worried look ill her wonderful brown eyes, and the doctor saw it. He strode forward decisively and helped Littleford to his feet. The hilIman wiped away tear with his faded blue bandana, and hung his head. He had been made broken man in one day.
 "Go out to your friend Moreland," smiled the doctor, and wait there for little while"
 Babes father walked unsteadily out of the room. Dale went to Doctor Braemer and whispered, Isn't she go- ing to make itY' anxiously.
 "Certainly she's going to make it, Braemer assured him. Go on; sine wants to see you.'
 Dale drew a~ehair up close to the white bed and sat down. Babes eyes lighted at once, and she put a hand uncertainty out toward him. Dale took the hand in his. He saw that it was a little pale under it's delicate sunburn.
 Glad to see you, Babe" he told her softly. Why do you think you're go- ing tS die, Babe?"
 She smiled at him. "Why, 1 don't think I'm a-goin to die," she said. Il know I'm a-goin' to live, Bill Dale. 1 feel like 1 could walk fifty miles right now!"

The baseball season is again at
hand. The essential apparatus of
baseball is simple and inexpensive.
All that is required is field, a stick,
the ball itself and police protection
for the umpire. One advantage of the
game as played professionally is that
those sitting in the grand stand can
play the game great deal better than
the eighteen men on the diamond. II
il also true that any one of the spec
tators, even though perched on tele
phone pole across the street or looking
through a knothOle in the fence be-
yond right field, can Judge of the
pitchers skill or the runners fleet
ness much more intelligently than
the arbiter who stands behind the
battery. The great merit of the game
is that the people can participate in
it.. 1t is not like bridge whist. Its
science is not Synonymous with 81
lence The thing to do is to take off
your coat and root as long and loudly
as you can, even if you don't know
what is happening.

from the waters Of the world each
day, and that the farms Of the United
States yielded the diggers more than
$1,000, 100000 In year and the mines
almost as much. Cleaning from the
