@CAvEMAN STUFF" IN CHINA
Ardent Wooer Carried Off the Girl of
His Choice Strapped HeIpIessly
on His Back.

"Lah-bah," or the twelfth moon
eighth day. is always lucky for mar
riages. Poor people of the Anhui
province in China can be sure of an
auspicious day without going to the
expense of consulting the fortune
tellerS.
This year in the town of Liuanchow
there was novel marriage process
sion. A young man of twenty-five
wanted his bride, but her parents are
said to have thought him too poor for
the girl. and demanded a sum of
money which they thought would end
in the match being broken off. Friends
suggested he should abduct the girl !;
so on the auspicious 'eighth" he and
few friends went to the girls home,
and they were in such force as to
carry the day. To prevent anything
like lawlessness the bride and groom
were bound together back to back and
the young man was marched off, like
the snail, with his house CHA li--wife
-on his back. The girl had protested
she did not want to be his wife, and
apparently sulked. but next day
things were smoothed over by friends.
"But why tie them back to back ?"
asked one. "Oh, to stop the girl from
struggling" said friend of the groom.
In other words it was caveman stuff

but since it had happened it neces-
Stated little Encouragement of his
plans. The moon was setting and the
night would become darker, so there
was good chance that Lakington
would not recognize that the driver
of his car had changed. And if he
did-well, it would be necessary to
forego the somewhat theatrical enter
tainment he had staged for his benefit
at The Elms. Bending over the dead
man, he removed his long grey driv-
ing-coat and cap; then, without a
sound, he threaded his way through
the bushes in search of the car.
He found 1t about hundred yards
nearer the house, so well hidden in
small space off the road that he
was almost on top of it before he real
lied the fact. To his relief it was
empty, and placing his own cap in a
pocket under the seat he put on the
driving-coat of his predecessor. Then,
with quick glance round to ensure
that everything was in readiness for
the immediate and rapid departure
such as he imagined Lakington would
desire, he turned and crept stealthily
toward the house.

"BREAD" OF STARVING RUSSIA
Called "Lebeda," the Stuff Is Made of
Leaves and Grass, Boiled
and Dried.

A peasant in the government of Sa-
mara (soviet Russia) told me of how
they make lebeda bread. Here is the
story:
SIN our village they take some lin
den leaves and grass, chop them up to
the size of a flea, and then boil the
mixture. After the water has boiled,
they squeeze it out and put the stuff
again into boiling water. Then they
let the water run off through sieve,
and keep the mass until it is dry.
After that they grind it fine and add
one-third flour.
1.-The bread you get is green in color
and indigestible. And when there is
no flour, they just bake the ground
mixture as it is. 1t does not taste
very badly; but after a man eats it
for a while he swells up and gets
worms in his stomach, and soon after
that he dies.'-Moscow Pravda.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP P-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kjlmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

he stood mottonless, and Hugh, from
the shelter of the bushes, wondered
whether the two quick flashes that
had come from his robe as he spoke
flashes such as small electric torch
will give, and which were unseen by
anyone else-were a signal to the de-
funct chauffeur.
Then peculiar look came over the
Indians face, as his eyes fell on a
Chinese cabinet.
Where did the Protector of the
Poor obtain the sacred cabinet Of the
Chow kings" He peered at it rever-
emily, and the duke coughed
'One of my ancestors picked it up
somewhere" he answered apologeti-
cally. =
Fashioned with the blood of men,
guarded with their lives, and one Of
your ancestors picked it up" The
duke withered completely under the
biting scorn of the words, and seemed
about to say something, but the Indian
had turned away, and his long, delicate
fingers were lowering over the box.
With cleaning eyes he stared in
front of him, and a woman shuddered
audibly.
What is it supposed to do?" she
ventured timidly.
For centuries that box contained
the jewels-precious beyond words
of the reigning queens of the Chow
dynasty. They were wrapped in sill
yer and gold tissue-of which this is
a feeble, modern substitute"
From cummerbund under his robe
he drew a piece of shining material,
the appearance of which was greeted
with cries of feminine delight.
'You would not ask me to commit
sacrilege?" Quietly he replaced the
material in his belt and turned away,

Dom Joao,s Botanical Gardens.

Dom JOao's botanical garden in Rio
capital of Brazil, is today the finest
in the New World and equaled only
by that of BuitenzOrg, Java, says Har-
riett c. Adams, in the National Geo
graphic Magazine. Its century-old i'm
ported bamboos are as tail as forest
trees; its native Victoria Regia lilies
most queenly of their kind. Its Royal
Palm avenue, almost 1900 feet long,
is second only to Rios Quadruple Palm
avenue bordering the Mangue canal.
In the early days these palms were
a mark of the royal distinction and
were planted only in parks and ave-
nues near city and county palaces.
The story goes that slave stole some
of the seeds and sold them. Today
these ''feather-dusters Of the gods"
wave in every part of the city. At
present there is free distribution of
seeds and plants from the botanical
garden.

The Iberians.

The Iberians were an ancient peo-
(Ebro) river in eastern Spain. Later
the inhabitants of the entire peninsula
were called 1berians. The term now
is applied to the primitive Neolithic
and bronze-age Iuen whose remains
and relics are found in ancient graves
and grottoes throughout western Eu-
rope. The race was characterized by
long heads and short stature. The
term Iberia still is frequently used
in reference to Spain and Portugal,
especially in literature, the expression
Iberian peninsula being quite common.

Strategy.

'Now, you fellows, help yourselves
to the CIGARS" cried Smith genially,
after dinner. ''They are some my wife
gave me for birthday present"
Gently, but firmly, man after man
vowed that he had sworn off smoking,
and the dinner party ended i'll a ghast-
ly fizzle.
Whatever did you tell such a ffb
about those cigars for?" asked Mrs.
Smith, in angry surprise when the
guests had departed. You know very
well that gave you gloves for birth
day present"
"Oh, that's all right, Mary" replied
Smith, blandly. @That box of cigars
cost me $11 and can't afford to give
any of them away''-Edinburgh Scots
