"Give me relief! Stop this agony!".-
that's ali YOU can think of when you're
suffering with any acute pain.
And you can get relief-quickly and
completely-with very simple home
treatment.

sofa. "a friend told me about Sloan's
Liniment, and after using it one day,
/ was able to walk around the house.
After three days l was able to go to
work, and now I'm as well as ever. :.

out the germs that are causing it.

IS YOUR WORK HARD?
Many POcahOntas Folks Have Found
How To Make Work Easier.


What is so hard as n days work
with an aching back?
OR sharp stabs of pain at every sud
den twist or turnp
There is no peace from that dull
ache.
No rest from the soreness, lame
ness and weakness.
Many folks have found relief
through Doan's Pills. They are a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Pocahontas people recommend
Doans
Mrs. Lucy Bowers, Waddell Ave-
Pocahontas, says: Hard work and
cold settled i'm my kidneys weakening
them. My back ached and had a
tired. listless feeling, Every task was
a burden because I felt so worn out.
NV kidneys were weak and acted ir-
regularly, too. 1 used Doan's Pills
and they rid me of that lame back
and regulated my kidneys"

of us were sleeping, when, with the
turning tide, we swept through the
First and Second Narrows and en-
tered Broad Reach. We woke at the
clatter of the winch. 1t was morning,
a blue morning, and a clear one with
a bowling wind. We lay at anchor in
tho open road of Punta Arenas.
A week passed. The friendliness of
Chile EMBODIED us. 1t proved no little
thing to have been sponsored in Punta
Arenas by the shipper of our vessel.
On the very day Of our arrival a boat
was found for us. and with that at
once our greatest care was gone.
AS l sat with my mate in snug,
floating quarters in the hulk of an old
ship, the Lonsdale, that was to become
our home while we were in Punta
Arenas, and talked of our windfall OF
good fortune, it seemed suddenly to
us poor four-fiushing Adventures that
we were as the king and duke in
"Huckleberry Finn and that If our
prosperity increased an enraged popu-
lace must some day turn and drive US
out of town But as the weeks went
on and we continued undetected, hon
pred, we, like other imposters, came
to believe in ourselves as king and
duke indeed.
THE boat I bought was a 1ifeboat
l. from the wrecked steamer Beacon
Grange. Her length was 26 feet, her
beam Sc feet, her depth inside 3 feet
and an inch or two. She was a
oubIe-ender clinker built, with light,
bent ribs.
The stem was splintered. seven
planks were stove or rotten, she was

warped. dry as a bone, and open
everywhere. She was of slipshod fac
tory construction, with every knee
and brace a false one sawed from
straight grained plank. She was our
boat, a dereIict She cost me $40.
From then onward. every wakin g
hour, week days, Sundays, feast days,
dawn till bedtime, in sun or rain or
snow or wind. we worked upon that
boat; IN snow and sleet and drench-
ing rain and Winter cold, with numb
hands and icy feet, with laughter and
song, for weeks that became a month,
and two; and still we worked.
The craft at last was decked and
cabined, caulked and painted and var
nished. The spars had been my work.
My mate meanwhile had made the
sails. In my delight with the perfec-
tion of the boat 1 likened it to the
one-horse shay. It shall be all,
proudly thought, so evenly and suff1-
GENTLY strong, from the shoe of the
keel to the eye of the peak flag hal
yards, that nothing can go wrong
with her until the end OF time.
This was to be the farthest south
launching in all history of an Ameri-
can ship, and we determined to do it
magnificently. making the occasion an
imposing example of Yankee eff

The Raising of Teasels.

THE town OF Skaneateles, n. Y, has
a thriving industry, perhaps not
duplicated elsewhere in the United
States. 1t raises teasels and finds a
steady demand for all it can produce.
Now not every one knows what
teasels are. The teasel is a plant that
produces ball of porcupinelike
quills, the largest from three to four
inches long and two inches wide.
These are an indispensable element in
the manufacture of broadcloth, felts
and wooden goods OF the finer grades.
The teasels grow from three to Ave
feet high, on prickly green stems
with spiky leaves, for two years.
Then they are harvested, usually in
August, and dried with great care.
They are sold to a firm OF teasel deal
ers in the town, where, in turn, they
are parceled out to wooden manufac-
turers all over the country.
The cloth manufacturer bores a hole
through the teaels and ranges them
on a shaft, against which he runs his
finer qualities of fabrics. The points
are very brittle, and as fine as the
finest needle. These points scrape
the cloth and give it it's nap, or wool
ly, surface. Machinery can be used
to do this only in the cheaper grades
of material.

us. The great day opened up its eyes
so bright and beautiful that it might
have been a birthday blessing on our
little boat. The hour is at hand.
Governors and captains, consul.
editors, sweet women and pretty girls
crowded about the launching plat
form. There stood a beautiful Chill
can girl with a champagne bottle,
gayly draped with bunting, in her
hand. She spoke:
lie nombro Catalina, barquito nu-
estro, que tie acompane la benedicion

She broke the bottle. and the amber
luid flower like rarest wine over the
bows. At that instant the Kathleen
with the mate standing proudly on
board, dropped smoothly down and
kissed the sea.

he said, we'll send a cruiser to find
you" - ..'
/ made my Will at the consulate, re-
ceived the Godspeed of the governor,
the Godspeed of our friends-and the
eventful morning dawned. E
The last honors of a departship ship
were accorded us. Towed by the har-
Dor launch, toasted and cheered by
friends aboard. we passed out through
the shipping and cast off. AS the
wind laid us over and we bore away
we roared across the widening water
the old sailing ship chantey. Rolling
Home"-many verses--long after none
but ourselves and the west wind heard
the sound OF them. And as Punta
Arenas faded from our view we still
could sec the red, white and blue of
Chile dipping in salute to us from the
masthead of the Lonsdale.

peaks and ranges OF the wilderness,
with all the threat and promise of
their mysteries, and still beyond and
high above them all the unattainable
white peaks of Sarmiento. All, what
a day! SO sharp and blue and golden
where the far sky touches the circle
Of the world!
The lower atmosphere is glistening
with the spray of wind blown wave
crests A double rainbow spans the
west, an omen of strong wind and of
COON fortune, and where it rests

spray vets us. A school of porpoises
Is racing, leaping, plunging around US.
Good luckl The gods are with usl
The wind has risen and the seas

though Its dazzling flashes only deep
ened the obscurity about us. The
mate, from his lookout forward at
last made out the black mass of the
point of land we had to turn. We
drove nearer. keeping It few points
off the starboard bow. We were
rounding It.
What happened TO the mates WITS
for a moment 1 don't know But sud
denly he screamed out, Keep her
Off" I did. And we shot through the
churned white water of a reef wed
! missed by not our length.
That night, in the security OF the
wilderness, we laid aside tho burden
of our troubles and, peacefully as lit
tie children, slept.
We awoke in a new world tran
quill. sunlit and profoundly silent, and
IN the varied splendor of its vegeta-
ton almost tropical.
With the saturated condition OF
everything on board there was imme-
date work to be done. Soon blan-
kets, sweaters, coats, socks, shirts
and drawers tapped like holiday fiags
from the rigging, and II thorough
examination of our stores brought
home to US the full extent OF our loss
and damage there was at least some
