DOG CAUGHT HIS OWN FISH
sportsman Given Authority for Re-
n,arkabIe story That Appears In
a London Periodical.

The London 1900 fishing cat which
so steadfastiy refuses to show Itself
except at meal times-has a rival In
the fishing dog, says London Answers.
A sportsman was on the west coast
of Madagascar, when he observed q
dog come out Of the thick bush In
front Of him and trot briskly down to
the edge Of the se6. When It had got
a little way into the water It stopped
and remained perfectly still. as a
heron might when fishing at home. Its
glance was never once taken OF the
water.
Suddenly II thrust its head into an
oncomlng wave, and reappeared with a
large fish In its mouth. Quickly TAX
ing its capture ashore 1t squatted
down and made hearty meal. After
a while the fishing operation was re-
peated, and 1t was evident to the wit
ness of the incident that the dog made
q regular practice of It.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes
medium and large.
However, If you wish first to test thii
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co., BinGhamton, n. Y, for
sample bIttle. When writing be sure anC

TIE STORY OF
OUR STATES
ARKANsAs
By JoNATHA,. BRACE


Bipp1. IL Is said tnat
the early settlers found In this terri
tory, an Indian tribe named Arkansas,
but the actual meaning of the word 10
not known, 1t probably has some re-
lation to the word Kansas. There has
been much confusion as to the correct
pronunciation Of Arkansas. To re-
move this as far as possible q resolu-
ton was passed by the state senate in
1881 which specified that the true pro-
nunciation was "Ar-kan,saw," In fact
It was formerly spelled so. and there
has been considerable agitation to
make this the correct spelling. It is
sometimes called the Bear State.
Originally Arkansas was a part of
the Louisiana Purchase. Its first set
tlement was made by the French about
1885. Except for the few years dur
Ing which by secret treaty 1t was ced-
ed to Spain, 1t remained under French
rule, until purchased by the United
States in 1903. For nearly ten years
after this, 1t was part Of Louisiana
territory. With the admission of the
State Of Louisiana in 1912 this north
ern section was formed into the Mis-
souri, territory. In 1910 there was an
other partition and Arkansas territory
was created, which included the pres
ent state and what later was called
Indian territory.
Due to the reports of an early ex-
plorer named Pike, who visited this
region In 1906, the incorrect idea was
generally accepted that most Of the
expanse Of plains east Of the Rockies
was a vast desert. This idea per-
sisted TO such an extent that es late as
1850 the western plains we're called in
the school Biographies "The Great
American Desert" Adventurous set
tiers, especially from the South, found
conditions In Arkansas quite other
wise, however, and by 1896 Arkansas
was admitted as the twenty-fifth state
of the Union withvan, area Of $3.50
square miles. II has remained IN al
most thahsame rank among the states
in relation to population ever since
and is entitled to nine electoral votes
for President.
The natural resources of the state
are considerable. There are the min
eral springs of medicinal value, which
have been placed under government
control at Hot Springs. The forest
area is larger than the entire state Of
Indiana.

the central part of the county, six to
eight miles from any neighbor, not on
