VETERAN JUDGE GIVES
FACTS in HIS CASE

Honorable A. p. Tarbox, distin-
guished lawyer and judge, residing at
pit West 23rd ST., University Place,
Neb, lends his name to further the
cause of Tanlac, the famous treatment
that has proved of such great benefit
to him.
sIf anybody knows what Tanlac will
do" recently said Judge Tarbox, sit is
me, for the medicine has kept me on
my feet and able to work for the past
two years"
Judge Tarbox has been member OF
the bar since early manhood and has
practiced law in Illinois, Nebraska and
Oklahoma for more than half CEN
fury. He is charter member of Far
ragut Post, Lincoln, G. A. r., and also
prominent in fraternal order circles.
Speaking further of his experience
with Tanlac, Judge Tarbox said:
Stomach trouble had been the bane
of my existence even before the Civil
War. Indigestion such as | had is
about the worst enemy a person could
have, and it kept getting worse all the
time
II simply could not have kept going
the past two years if it had not been
for Tanlac. 1t made my weak stomach
sound and wholesome, did away with
all signs Of Indigestion and built me
up in way had thought impossible.
"In fact, Tanlac has brought me
health, strength and happiness when l
was sick and suffering, so have every

light from a tent by the river. Zen
walked by Linder's side Presently
she reached out and took his arm.
Il beg your pardon" said Under.
Il should have offered"
"Of course you should. Mr.. Trans
ley would not have waited to be told.

get along all right with men,
"The truth is, Mr.. Under, you're
not shy-you're frightened. Now /
can we'll believe that no man could
brighten you. Consequently you get
along all right with men. Do 1 need
to tell you the rest?'
Il never thought of myself as be-
ing afraid of women" he replied. "It
has always seemed that they. were,
well, he replied. just out of my line"
They had reached the tent but the
girl made no sign of going in. In
the silence the sibilant lisp of the
stream rose, loud about them.
'Mr. Under" she said at length,
do you know why Mr.. Transley sent
you down here with me?"
'I'm sure ! don't except to show
you to your tent"
THAT was the least of his purposes.
He wanted to show you that he wasn't
afraid of you, and he wanted to show
me that he wasn't afraid of you. Mr..
Transley is very self-conident in
dividual. There is such thing as
being too self-confident. Mr.. Under,
just as there is such thing as being
too shy. Do you get me? Good
nightl'' And with a little rush she
was in her tent.
Under walked slowly down to the
waters edge, and stood there, think
ing, until Zen's light went out. His
brain was in whirl with sensation
entirely strange to it. A wind, laden
with Snow-smell from the mountains,
pressed gently against his features,
and presently Under took deeper
breaths than he had ever known be-
fore
by Jove!' he said. Who'd have
thought it possible?"

of the Nile. He was slowly dying of
fever, almost penniless, and always
when he reached the verge of some
new discovery, his cowardly negro car
riers revolted, or ran away, leaving
him TO his fate. No word of him had
reached the world for years. England
was anxious as to the fate of one of
her greatest men, so there were vari-
Gus attempts to send relief, delayed
by the expense, and not perhaps
handled by really first-rate men. To

ufacturer, or a newspaper. All that
was needed was unlimited cash, and
the services of a first-rate practical
traveller. The New York Herald had
the money, and in Stanley, the very
man for the job.
AS to the journey, Stanley's story
has been amply advertised, and we
have no other version because his
white followers died. He found Liv-
ingstone at Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika
in time to reverence comfort and sue
cor the dying man.
In Stanley's expedition which found
ed the Congo state, and in his relief
of Emin Pasha, the white men were
more fortunate, and some lived. 1t
is rumored that they did not like Mr..
Stanley, but his negro followers most
certainly adored him, serving in one
journey after another There can be
no doubt, too, that with the unlimited
funds that financed and his own fine
merits as traveller, Stanley did more
than any other explorer to open up
the dark continent, and to solve its
age-long mysteries. 1t was not his
fault that Livingstone stayed on in
the wilderness to die, that the Congo
Free State became the biggest scandal
of modern times, or that Emin Pasha
fatty refused to be rescued from gov
erning the Soudan.
Stanley lived TO reap the rewards
of his great deeds, TO forget that he
was a native of Missouri and a free
born American citizen, to accept the
honor of knighthood and to sit in the
British parliament. Whether as a
Welshman, or an American, confed-
crate, or a federal, Belgian subject
or a Britisher, he always knew on
which side his bread was buttered.

himself as special correspondent DUR

Then he joined the staff of the New
