PRIZED OLD RIFLE

Weapon Long Preserved as Heirloom in Family. Belonged to John Ferril, .Who Used It With Effect in Indian Wars of Kentucky—Passive During Civil War. There Is a story of the American rifft* that has been handed down fn the hearthstone history and traditions -of those who for generations have lived in the West. It begins with the Greenbrier region of Virginia of colonial times, thence into’Kentucky,, to Missouri in the days of Upper Louisiana, thence to the great prairies of the far West and on to California. “TttF TiTOTTy~ri’ffeJi i aJ~(lear‘aad John and Margaret Ferril and their family were with a party of pioneers from the Greenbrier region who migrated to Kentucky fn the early days. Owing to the. hostilities of the Indians. they were armed and under the command of Capt Jacob Baughman, a brother of Margaret Ferril. They “packed” on horses over the Alleghany mountains and when in camp at or near Crab Orchard, Ky.. were attacked in the night by Indians. In the tight that ensued Capt. Baughman. John Ferril and others were killed, but the men held back the Indians long enough to enable some of the women and children to escape. Among the number thus saved were Margaret Ferril, a son, John Ferril, and two daughters; and also Mrs. Jacob Baughman, a son Henry of tender age, and two daughters. The Baughman-Ferril fight, or massacre. occur red in the fall of 1779.

John Ferril, then fourteen years old, who had escaped, swore an oath of revenge on his rifle. He kept that vow. and his rifle became a bloody one in I V the Indiun wa rs-of---Kentucky. —r—souri, now Howard county, in 1812, were built several forts for protection against Indians, especially the Sacs and Eoxes and the Pottawatomies. John Ferril and family were in one of them, known as Fort Cooper. He here still possessed his old Kentucky rifle. After the war of 1812, in addition to farming, he often engaged in hunting expeditions up the Missouri and Kansas rivers, and sometimes far out on the great prairies. , Over a century ago he’hunted bear and - other game on what is now the site of Kansas City. He and other frontiersmen then predicted that a great city would be founded on the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas rivers. The old rifle of John Fearil pas been preserved. During the Civil war. when the authorities were collecting all the guns in Saline county, Missouri, they seized the old Ferril rifle. Keziah Ferril, then about ninety years old, cried and begged that it be not taken. Her sons and grandsons were wearing the blue and gray and a compromise was effected. It was agreed that this old rifle should be hid away, and thus the old Ferril rifle became a noncombatant fn the Civil war. It later passed to the possession of Jesse Ferril. county judge, son of Henry ferril, who founded Miami, Mo. On the death of Judge Jesse Ferril the rifle was passed on as an heirloom to his brother, John Ferril, who had been a soldier from Saline county with Doniphan’s Missourians in the Mexican war. John Ferril died some months ago at his home in Exeter, Cal.

As Good as a Youth.

Workmen at a mill in Greencastle are telling h good story regarding one of the-workmen. It has been a rule of the company not to employ men over a certain age. A few days ago a man living within a stone’s throw of the mill solicited work, but was turned down because of his gray whiskers and his snow-white hair.® The “old” man was not daunted. He felt he was still good for many days of work, so he went to a drug store, bought a bottle of black hair dye and soon had his whiteness a jet black. He again asked.for work of the same foreman and was accepted at once. He was put to work and made good from the start. Then he Was worried because his white hair was growing, as also were his equally white whiskers. He again bought- a second bottle of dye and used it to hide his identity. The “old" man is still working his eight hours a. day. and. one official of the company stated he had done such a good job he did not have to buy another bottle of dye, but could hold his job. even with his white hair and whiskers. —Indianapolis News. ,

DANDRUFF MAKES HAIR FALL DOT

A small bottle of “Danderine” keeps hair thick, strong, beautiful. Girls! Try this! Doubles beauty of your hair in a few moments.

t. * '(i» ri ig ZC * 'I m Wii^W ■ i Iwt ' ' > 'V i X* ’

Within ten minutes after an application of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks’ use; when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luxuriance. Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine for a few cents at any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any —that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that’s all—you 1 surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine.—Adv. The ability to keep a iecr>w is an heirloom from ancestors with a fine sense of honor.

HAS BROKEN ALL TRADITIONS

Present King of Slam Only One of Hla Royal Line, to Refus* to Establish Harem. It Is a curious fact that while women of the lower classes in Siam have always enjoyed the greatest freedom, participating and competing with men In the business and pleasures of life, the ladies of the royal household have been kept In the background, appearing at only the most private social gatherings and never at public or official functions. As ail former sovereigns had in their harems the cream of the aristocracy of the country, and, as they inevitably felt a hesitant chivalry about exhibiting their “wives” in public, they barred all women of rank from sight. The sovereign is expected to have in his harem a member of every influential family in the country, for it Is considered that in no other way could he be in such close touch with the people of his kingdom. Polygamy lias, therefore, been considered an obligation of royalty. But, curiously enough, the present reigning monarch is a bachelor, the first and only bachelor who has sat upon the throne of his fathers in twenty-five hundred years. And thereby hangs a tale, for marriage by a Siamese sovereign iias meant not the simple taking of one wife, or a dozen, or oven a mere hundred, but the wholesale adoption of a thousand or more. ’ The young king’s father and his father’s father, and each of the long line of kings preceding them, had many wives. His father had between seven and eight thousand. And, when the young crown prince returned from his long stay in Europe—he had passed a third of his life there —lie was told by ills royal father that there had been selected for him a number of court beauties from which lie could'take his choice of a hundred or two for his harem. But the prince would have nothing to do with this wholesale acquisition of a husband’s holdings. “When I marry,”" he declared to his‘astonished father, “it will be to one wife and to no more, and she shall be the one queen of my heart and the one queen of my realm.” —From “The Land of the White Elephant,” by Frederick Dean, in Asia Magazine.

Couldn't Be Discouraged.

There are croakers in every country, always boding its ruin. Such a one then lived in Philadelphia; a person of note, ah elderly man. with a wise look and a very grave manner of speaking; his name was Samuel Mickle. The gentleman, a stranger to me r stopped one day at my door and asked me if I was the young man who had lately opened a new printing house. filing answered in the affirmative, he said he was sorry for me, because it was an expensive undertaking, and the expense would be lost; for Philadelphia was a sinking place, the people already half bankrupt, or near being so; all appearances to the contrary, such as new buildings and the rise of rents, being to his certain knowledge fallacious; for they were, in fact, among the things that would sopn ruin us. And he gave me such a detail of misfortunes now existing, or that were soon to exist, that he left me half melancholy. Had I known him before I in this business, probably I never should have done it. This man continued- to 1 ive in this Jecaying-place, and to declaim in the same strain, refusing for many years to buy a house there, because all was going to destruction ; and at last I had the pleasure of seeing him give five times as much forone as he might have bought it for when he first began his croaking. —Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

Strategic Advantage.

A major, attired in his raincoat, was crossing the parade ground one rainy morning when a young medical officer, hastening toward shelter, came past and saluted without slowing down. “Wait there a minute, lieutenant,” called the major. “Never salute when at the double time. Strictly again-t regulations.” . With that the major launched out upon a long lecture on the significance and value of the salute, while the lieutenant,’now standing stiffly at attention, was drenched to the skin. A few days later the major was afflicted with toothache and sought the services of a dental surgeon. As he reclined tn the chair, he thought he detected a peculiar expression of satisfaction on the young dentist’s face. “Look here,” he said suddenly. “Haven’t I seen you before?” “Yes. sir” was the answer, “you were speaking to me the other morning about saluting—” “Great Scott!" yelled the major, deaping frum the chalr and— starting., for the door, “I’ve had some close calls in my time, but never anything to compare with tills one.”—Judge.

Weekly Health Talks What Is the Cause of Backache ? BY DOCTOR CORNELL Backache is perhaps the most common- ailment from which women suffer. Rarely do you find anybody free from it. Sometimes the cause is obscure, but Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., a high medical authority, says the cause is very often a form of catarrh that settles in the'delicate membranes of the feminine .organs. When these organs are inflamed, the first symptom is backache, accompanied by bearing down sensations, weakness, unhealthy discharges, irregularity, painful periods, irritation, headache and a general ri/n-down condition. Any women in tins condition is to be pitled, but pity does not cure. The trouble calls for Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which is a separate and distinct medicine for women. It is made of roots and herbs put up without alcohol or opiate ofany k\nd, for Dr. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-. scription. Favorite Prescription is a natural remedy for women, for the vegetable growths Of which it is made seem to have, been intended by Nature for that very purpose. Thousands of girls and women, young and old, have taken it, and thousands have written grateful letters to Dr. Pierce saying it made them well. In taking Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to Imny that it goes straight to the cause of the trouble. There is but one way to overcome sickness, and that is to overcome the cause. That is precisely what Favorite Prescription is intended to do. Send 10c for trial pkg. of Tablet*. Address Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
