I Forest Tragedy.

There Is trail running from my house east up the branch a piece and then, turning northeast, it runs into a north and south trail They are both cattle trails, though they were first used by people. The north and south trail just keeps far enough into my woods from my east line to get the benefit of the shade and Is a delightful ore to travel over Since discovering it 1 use 1t as far as l can when l go over to neighbor Bones, On my last trip over. just after l passed the old barn place, l saw the bones of d little varmint lying just outside the entrance to its den. It was skunk, I think, though 1t may have been a possum. had noticed lis den before and did not object to having such a close neighbor, as l had no chickens for 1t to steal. 1 wonder if 1t died natural death and if it was alone during it's last sick ness or did a snake bite it or some other animal kill it?

Another Outrage.

heard some dogs running some
 thing from the west over my way a
 few nights ago and when the dogs
 woke me up at 4 a. m., 1 could not
 withstand the temptation of going over and seeing what it was. 1 hol-
 tered encouraging words to the dogs and they answered back. When 1 got there they had rabbit treed in hollow log and one dog was near ly to him from one direction and the other was nearly to him from the other direction, so 1 punched him out, which was an outrageous thing for me to do, the rabbit thought, but just the day before while in my gar den found watermelon vine with a big melon on it cut by a rabbit, and the dogs had earned the rabbit any, way, so thought they were entitled 10 1t. Mir. Walderns tells me that when he lived here he had plenty of rabbits to eat and that 1t was no un- common thing for him to return home and find big mess of squir- rels cooked, which Mrs. Walderns had killed. She was good shot with 22 rifle and they had two good squirrel dogs, and she went a hunting whenever she felt so inclined,

He Wac Buried Long Ago In kansas With All hls Worldly
 Poasessions.

Liberal, Kan-The last resting place of an Indian chieftain and his horse have been unearthed by O. E. Hinds. farmer near F1oris in the sandhills along the Beaver.
 He had been sent off to the happy hunting grounds" with apparently all his worldly possessions. The skele- ton was wrapped in a blanket of heavy texture apparently once of brightest colors. Beneath the hu- man skeleton was that of horse, which had been inferred with full ac. coutrements-saddle, bridle and nu- merous trinkets with which Indians were accustomed to decorate their fla vorite mounts.
 On the wrist of the mans skeleton was a large bracelet made of many coils of metal, about three inches wide and quite heavy. A ring of the same material encompassed one finger. An other bracelet, of more elaborate de- sign, was found among the ornaments, made of metal, rawhide, and many beads, highly ornamented, and shell ornaments also were found The only weapon was what apparently had once been sword or spear.

Bergdoll himself was a witness. He appeared pale and weak and so clearly contradicted himself at various points of his testimony that the sympathetic judge warned him of the strictness ot German perjury laws.
 Four Germans who attempted to assist the two American detectives capture Bergdoll were also sentenced from six to II months in jail.
 The courtroom was crowded wher the two Americans went on trial. The atmosphere wa sdecidedly hostile to them. Kisses and cat calls greet ed the pair, but the court made little effort to control the German sympa. thizers lined up with Bergdoll.
 Neaf told a logical and connected story. He said he had captured other deserters from the American army with the aid of German police when they entered Germany. His creden- tials from the Coblenz police entitled him to operate in Germany. He in- tended to kidnap Bergdoll at Eber- bach and frustrate escape at Stutt- gart. Germans police officials who took the stand for the American de- tectives were generous in praising their work and fairness in other ar- rests which had been made on Ger man soil not included in the occupied area

 Wlll you give me a little space in your paper? Mir. L. E. Holloway says Pap Prince puts him in the mind of an old deaf dog. He seems to think he is on and off too much. l think it is better to be deaf than to be blind. I think if we had more such men like "Pap" Prince we would have better times. It is time for such men as L. E. Holloway to have the scum taken off their eyes; they could see their way better. I guess he thinks this is dog days-they don't come until August

Carolina Lady Got So She Could Just Drag.-"Cardui Built Me
 Up," She Declares.

Kernersville. N. C.-In an interest. ing statement regarding Cardui, the Woman's Tonic, Mrs. Wesley Mabe, of near here, recently said: "I have known Cardui for years, but never knew Its worth until year or so ago. l was in a weakened, rundown con- dition. became draggy-didn't eat or sleep to do any good; couldn't do any. thing without great effort. I tried different remedies and medicines, yet ] continued to drag.
 ''I decided to give Cardui a trial, and found 1t was just what l really needed. It made me feel much strong CT soon after I began to use 1t. l be- gan to eat more, and the nervous. weak feeling began to leave. Soon l was sleeping good.
 "Cardui built me up as no other tonic ever did.
 "I used Cardui with one daughter who was puny, felt bad and tired out all the time It brought her right out, and soon she was as well as a girl could be. We think there Is nothing like Cardui."
 Do not allow yourself to become weak and rundown from womanly troubles. Take Cardui. You may find 1t just what you really need. For more than 40 years it has been used by thousands and thousands, and found just as Mrs. Mabe describes.
