Borrowed trouble is always the most burdensome. * » Weekly Health Talks What Doctor Pierce Hat Done for Humanity BY DOCTOR CRIPPS. It has always seemed to me that Dr. ~ Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., should be placed near the tdp when a list of America's 1 great benefactors is written. He studied and conquered human diseases to. a degree that few realize. Whenever he found a remedy that overcame disease, he at i once announced it in the newspapers and told where it could Le bought at a small price. He did not follow the usual custom of keeping ithe ingredients secret, so that,, the jjgh---c>nlv. could afford to buy the medicine, but openly printed the name of each-root and her bhe used. And sb today the names of Dr. Pierce and his medicines ate widely known, and they stand for better health and better citizenship. One of thia great physician’s most successful remedies is known as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugarcoated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap—things that Nature grows in the ground. These Pellets are safe because they move the bowels gently, leaving no bad after-effects, as so many pill« d/» Very r>ften thry m«ke a perw>n who takes them feel like a new man or ■woman, for they cleanse the intestines of hard, decayed and poisonous matter that, accumulates when one is Costive. If you are constipated, byall means go to your druggist and get some of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to be th* very thing your ayatem requires t* Make yon well and happy.

FLED IN DISGUISE

Noted Men Who Escaped Captivity by Subterfuge. / In Hours of Grave Danger Soldiers of Proved Bravery Have Not Heai- - tated to Lives by Ignominious Flight. Gen. Hans von Beseler of the German army is said to have escaped out of Poland tn disgmsens a—stowaway on board a Vistula river steamboat. Tn the fall of 1914 Von Beseler was glorified as the Conqtierer‘ of the city of Antwerp, the chief stronghold of Belgium' mid the chief port of continental Europe. Germany's conquer- ; lug heroes of 1914 have been van- i quhhed and Vnu Boseler is hut one I of a great company of notable fugitives who have saved, their lives by fleeing in disguise. Judge Jeffries of English history, whose name H associated with the “bloody assizes." tried to hide himself and escape the vengeance his savage cruelty merited by donning the garb_of a. coal jniner mid hiding in a tavern at Woking, but he was recognized, captured, imprisoned tn the Tower of London. where he soon <li»‘«r. Prince Charles Edward j Stuart, pretender to the throne of i Great Britain, escaped from Scotland j in petticoats, disguised as Betty Burke, maid to Flora MacDonald. | Louis Pbillippo. the "citizen king”' of ■ France, tied to the coast of Normandy i .where he posed ns "Mr. Smith." a Brit-., ish subject, in order to secure passage to England on a .steamboat. Napoleon 111, while a pretender to the throne of France, was Imprisoned in the fortress of Ham. After several months of confinement repairs were begun -on the fort ress.—Napoleon bribed one of the carpenters to smuggle in a workman s garb for his disguise. He dressed himself in the coarse overalls and blofise, shouldered a short plank, which he carried on edge' so as to conceal his face, and walking past his guard, he escaped l to Belgium and thence to England. Porfirio Diaz was twice compelled to flee from Mexico and seek safety in the I'nited States. He made one trip from New Orleans to \ era Cruz•disguised. as a stoker on board a steamship and was soon leading a new band of revolutionists. Empress Eugenie, disguised as a servant woman. was taken out of Parts by Doctor. Evans, an American dentist, in whose house she had been hidden. Thus she escaped the blind fury of the French mob and gained safe asylum in England. Jefferson Davis, fallen president of the Southern Confederacy, is said by his enemies to have tried to escape out of the country and evade his pursuers disguised in woman’s garb, but he was captured and imprisoned until the passions of some of the northern fire-eaters had cooled.

The General's Drop.

I have been told this story of a “flying”, general, who has had experience as a parachutist, says a writer In the London Evening News. A fewdays ago lie was a passenger in an airplane going north.- After a while he picked up a village where he Intended to stop for a day or two, Lnformed the pilot, who at once signifietT his intention of making a landing. “Oh! don’t stop!” shouted the general,- and he- proceeded to attach himself to a parachute and his suitcase to another. He dropped the case overboard and then stepped off hitn~gptf:—General—and down gently and safely t_o earth, while the airplane continued its flight.

FIFTH ARMY FOUGHT WELL

British Troop#, Battling Agabsst De> perate Odd#, Allowed Ehehny to Gain Only by Inches. Then I was with the British Fifth army, and I'll tell you why they didn’t hold jigaixut the Boche—they -simply _ couldn't. They were outranged and outnumbered cruelly. Never in my life di»l I see such heroism and gal- ’ lantry displayed against frightful odds i ns by those men, and if they didn't ! fight then there never was any fighting anywhere upon the face of the earth. Maj. Cushman A. Rice, U. S. A.. writes in Leslie’s Magazine. Attacked jbv a tremendously superior German force, they lost almost all of their Artillery of any weight the first day, but stuck at the Somme line until almost annihilated. For every inch of ground ! they gained the Huns paid the highest | price in men, and I could tell 500 instances in which the British battlers proved to be magnificent heroes. I saw a captain who was in charge of a battery of six-inch howitzers have a hand shot away. He stopped fighting only long enough to have temporary dressing applied and then returned to his post and assisted his men In removing the guns. He was killed the next day. I was with a machine gun company until all but three of the men had been killed or Incapacitated. I_.l told them that I was going to fall back and urged them to do likewise. I The leader, a little Lancashire sergeant. -afi.swered: “No, the Boche* have chased us far enough. Here we ! stick." And they stuck and were i killed to the last man. i And tliese Canailian. iniiLs..., Main L simply can't tell you how they fought against odds for five (lays and six nights, going back only inch by Inch. One division of 10.900 men. sent in to replenish the line, fought continuously for three days and nights. A roll call showed 916 left. Still there are those who ask if the British ran away. No, a thousand times no. With comparatively few reserves they hung on. They were sacrificed, but it was their duty to stay, and they did. Too much cannot be said- in praise of the Fifth army, for it saved the day and prevented the Huns from breaking through to Abbeville until the French came up.

Was Taking No Chances.

One of Lucy's frtendsc was-givlng little birthday party for the little boys and girls of the neighborhood, and of course the children were much excited about it, particularly as It was customary for each little boy to ask to take the little girl he was most proud of. Several days passed and no“on? asked dairy. -And -then one afternoon site came home from schqol in great glee. . "Mother.” she said, “I have asked Bobby to go to the party with me." Mother was shocked. “You asked Bobby to go with you I Why. Lucy, that wasnT a very nice thing for you to do. Bobby might prefer to take some other little girl.” “Well, you know? mother,” Lucy replied, “that’s just what I was afraid of.”

The Airplane Runabout.

At last there is being produced in England a small airplane, with wings extending only 15 feet, or actually less than the wing extension of a real bird, the albatross. This, to be sure, would be a large albatross, but cases have been known »f these birds measuring 17 and 1$ feet from tip to tip. There is evident advance toward the day when anybody who can afford the price Will be able to own an airplane, without the need of a special landing place for it. The one referred to can.. it is claimed, come down in the street without blocking traffic any more than would a hay wagon on its way to marker.

Famous Generals.

Admiral Keyes of the Dover patrol, who landed at Ostend not long ago, was present at the siege of Peking in 1900. He was then a lieutenant and naval A. D. C. to Gen. Sir Alfred Gaselee.'Tbmnmndant of the British force, and in that capacity took part in the famous march t<s the relief of the legations. The* British were the first to effect an-entrance to the Chinese capital, which they did by the water gate under’ the city wall. Besides Admiral Keyes there were • present two naval officers whose names have become famous during the war just ended — Admirals Jellicoe and, Beatty;, jf .

FOUND OLD INDIAN VILLAGE

Jirtsregtina Rc-ica, Believed to Be_G«nturies Old, Recently Unearthed in New York State. - -.Relics of an Indian village, said to have iwi-origin as early as 1575, have been discovered in Ciason Point, the Bronx, according to an announcement made by the Museum of the American Indian. Heye foundation. The discovery was made by Alan B. Skinner, archeologist of the foundation. The discovery is regarded as a very important one by the members of the foundation. Research establishes that the village was probably inhabited by natives of the Siwanoy tribe, known to very early settlers as “Snakeskins.” The research, made through the kindness of a trustee of the foundation, has established to the satisfaction of the board that the tract remained in possession of its Indian inhabitants until 1625, when it was purchased by Robert Cornell, an Englishman. Cornell’s family was later massacred by the tyirbarlan tribe. During the attack he managed to make his escape on a Dutch ship. Mr. Skinner was making a pleasure trip through Clason Point, which is somewhat of a summer resort, last July. He noticed very large oyster shells on a mound of sand and recognized them as Indian boundary line markings. He obtained permission from the owner of the land to make a search of the ground. To the surprise of the searchers, relics of Indian life were unearthed. Costumes, beads, cooking utensils and a complete hair dress of the Siwanoy tribe were discovered. Seventy lodge sites, contain 7 ing hundreds of Indian implements and tools, were also dug up. The collection contained crude harpoons, fishhooks, carved tortoise-shell cups, bodkins and decorated pottery. Hundreds of pipes and a beautiful mold jar w’ere discovered intact, and all are being preserved for public exhibition when the museum opens. This history speaks of the Siwanoy practice of digging sand holes and placing large quantities of food and other offerings to the “Great Snake.” It W’as announced at the museum that the relics will be placed on exhibition at the opening of the exhibit.

Opportunity Missed.

For several years it had been my custom to make a visit on Thanksgiving afternoon at the home of my most particular friend. This last Thanksgiving I missed, as the family was to attend the community singing at 4 p. m. A few days after little Katherine dropped in to see me and asked “Why didn’t you come to see us on Thanksgiving?” “Well,” I replied, “you were not at home in the afternoon.” She then asked: “Why didn’t you come earlier? Why not come for dinner?” “But,” I jokingly replied, “you didn’t ask me!” “Well,” she replied thoughtfully, “I IhTnkTr you had come early and hung around they’d have asked you!”—Chicago Tribune.

Awaiting Instructions.

In a letter received from a cousin of mine, who is a lieutenant in the aviation service, he tells of the following incident that happened to a cadet flyer at Kelly field: —The cadet wax malting his first- solo flight and had been flying around the towers where the instructors sit and observe the movements of the solo flyers, when he was seen throwing something out of his plane. He Had thrown his shoe out with a note tied to It saying thathia “gtifi" or gas throttle was jammed, and he didn’t know what to do.— He flew around the towers ten times before he realized that he had a magneto switch on his plane that would shut off the ignition and thus stop the engine. He finally landed with a dandy ‘'thump.”—Chicago Tribune.

Conscience.

It was plain to be seen that Arthur, eight years old, had something on his mind. It was something that concerned Christmas anti his neighbor, Jimmy. Finally he said to his mother: “I guess I’ll give Jimmy his knife for Christmas.” “Have you Jimmy’s knife?” the mother inquired. “Yes, I found it a long time ago. He thinks It’s lost. But findin’s keepin’s. you ]»now.” ’ The mother made no comment, for she knew something else was cpming. And then her son said: “I might as well give it to him. I can’t use ft ’cause he’s/ with me all the time.”
