Rey. F. B. Sapp, of Fargo, N. D., vends J. M. Hufford a large Jack rabbit foot to keep the hoodoos away, _nnd with it the following letter: "John Alexander Omer Ollie Storm

Defying Speed Killer Jack Rabbit, born in Cass county, North Dakota, 0. S. A., July 10, 1909. Wintered well chased twice by coyotes raised two families in summer of 1910 and on Nov. 11 of same year was tracked to shelter on the south side of a clump of buffalo grass by a biped that favored neither man nor woman, most likely a parson of antique variety. When leaping for liberty, he fired and "wounded my left hind leg and pierced my right ear, but the next volley brought me to my side on a snow bank, where I had a few moments to reflect and remembered that only a lew days before I had taken a life "policy in the Fidelity Mutual of Philadelphia for the sum of |5,000 payable to Widow Jack Rabbit and families. Hereby, I warn all my tribe before backing up to a stump or clump of grass, to do likewise. Good Bye.

ONE WEAK SPOT

Most Greenfield People Have a Weak Part and Too Often It's The Back.

Everyone has a weak spot. Too often it's a bad back. Twinges follow every sudden twist. Dull aching keeps up, day and night. Tells you the kidneys need help— For backache is really kidney-ache. A kidney cure is what you need. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,

Cure backache and urinary ills. Greenfield people recommend the remedy.

Mrs. M. L. Newhouse, 609 North State street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I have the utmost confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills, having used them with perfect satisfaction. I was subject to attacks of kidney complaint for five or six years and recently my condition became worse. My back was lame and ached a great deal and I had other difficulties which proved that my kidneys were at fault. On a neighbor's advice, I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Quigley's drug store and they proved so beneficial from the first that I continued taking them. The contents of four boxes entirely relieved the pain iu my back and restored my kidneys to a normal condition. I know that Doan's Kidney Pills are an effective kidney medicine and am therefore pleased to recommend them."

OBITUARY

Pearl C. Wiggins, daughter of John S. and Clara Stafford Wiggins, was born in Greenfield, Ind., May 7th. 1880. She was the youngest of the thrffe children, a brother and a sister having preceded her to that better land. She was left motherless when only two years old, when she was taken into the home of her nncle and aunt, Vint A. and Estella L. Smith where she became as dear and precious to them, as if she was their own child.

Nov. 27th, 1900, she was united in marriage to William P. Wirick, to which union there was born two children, Charles J. and Hellen J. aged 8 and six respectively who are bereft of a tender, loving mother's care, but the circling arms of love reached out by uncle Vint, and aunt Ella, to comfort the bereft husband will be a prop for the little one as well.

She leaves father, husband, uncles, and aunts, besides other relatives, and. a host of friends to mourn her departure. When but a little girl, she confessed her Savior, and was immersed by Brother Guard. She was devoted to Church and 8unday school work, and taught a class of little girls for several years. She had a musical voice, and her sweet songs have many times added charm to religious and social occasions.

At last, she called her loved ones to her, embraced them, smiled and feebly stroked the curly head of her little daughter, as it lay pillowed on her bosom. Amid the music and singing which she seemed to distinctly hear in her last hours, she consigned her little ones to the same arms that received her, in her babyuood. At 4 o'clock on the evening of Nov. 1st she fell asleep in Jesus after a brief but beautifully christian life of 30 years, 5 months and 24 days.

Death leaves our hearts all desolate, he "plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers Transplanted them into bliss, they now adorn immortal bowers.

The birdlike voice whose joyous, tones made glad these scenes of sin and strife sings now, an everlasting song amid the tree of Life.

The Bed Men conferred the War* rior's and Chief's degree Thursday night on four candidates.

Before bringing the play into New York, the Mesgers. Shubcrt devoted several weeks to the selection of a proper cast.

An exchange says you may disfigure barns and fences and rocks and roacs, waste your money on so-called business charts, and all that sort of things, and vainly imagine you are advertising. But you are not. The newspaper that every day and every week visits hundreds of homes and is looked upon by its readers as a reliable friend and adviser, is the medium through which the wide-awake business man will speak to the people. Quack advertising—the kind you bite on when a stranger comes around with a great scheme is like medicine —the less you take of it the better. The man who appreciates the value of newspaper advertising and has business instinct enough to know that all other methods are spurious, is the man who muets with success.

WARNING TO PEOPLE

There are few families whose ancestors lived in Europe but have a shadow of a claim to a great fortune awaiting them over here. This has largely come about through circular letters from wily swindlers in New York, London and elsewhere claiming that people are heirs to estates and soliciting small fees for invest!' gation, etc. All hopes so flimsily founded are or ought to be dashed by the publication of circular letters received by Wm. T. Fletcher, postoffice inspector of this section. The letters are duplicates of those written the secretary of State at Washington by the American embassies of the different nations.

In regard to the estates in England J. R. Lowell, of the United States legation at London, states that supposed claimants in this country, instead of being duped by fraudulent claim agents in England can easily ascertain by any British or American practioner of standing whether there is any justification for legal pursuit, which, he states, in not one case out of a thousand will be discovered to exist.

The circular letter pertaining to conditions in Germany contains the information that careful investigation has never verified the existence of the supposed estato or claim, Moreover, it is said, the legislation of Germany is such as to effectually and without appeal dispose of all claims add there is no cause for Americans to be swindled by the enticing offers of claim agents.

Conditions in Holland are literally the same according to the letters. The proposition is summed up in. the advice of Mr. Lowell to the claimants, "They might as well seek to recover possession of a castle in Spain through the intervention of our minister ih that country."

Holloway is Released.

Herman Holloway, of Shirley, arrested several days ago for contempt of court, it being charged he failed te pay into the county clerk's office a stipulated sum weekly for the support ef his child, the ruling being made when Mrs. Holloway was,, granted a divcrce, was released from jail Tuesday morning and returned to* his home.—New Castle Times.

R. D. Hayes has returned from Spiceland, where he has been taking treatment tor rheumatism.
