BOYS FOLLOW KITE FOR SEVEN MILES Cambridge Youngsters Cause Alarm When They Fail to Return Home. CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Sept. 3. Four young boys, Robert Whelan, Orrille Bortsfleld, Howard Kelsey and Howard Mueller, ranging in age from 8 to 10, unintentionally caused their parents no little alarm when on Tuesday evening they failed to appear at the supper hour. The boys, flying a kite, started north at four o'clock, and not unlike the story of the child and the rainbow, they followed where the kite led until rain compelled them to seek shelter in a school house near the German Baptist church, south

west of Hagerstown. Realizing them the distance they were from home, two of the boys, Robert Whelan and Howard Kelsey, having grandparents residing in the town, thought best to puBh on before it grew later, and reached the home of the former's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Retts, at 7:30 o'clock, having trudged a distance of seven miles. Upon relating their story their parents were immediately notified by telephone arn,to the whereabouts of the wandereCs, much to the relief of their parents, and the lada were returned to Cambridge City Wednesday morning on the Big Four train.

Acute Indigestion. "I was annoyed for over a year by attacks of acute indigestion, followed by constipation," writes Mrs. M. J. Gal lagher, Geneva, N. Y. "I tried everything that was recommended to me for this complaint but nothing did me much good until about four months ago I saw Chamberlain's Tablets advertised and procured a bottle of them from our druggist. I soon realized that I had gotten the right thing for they helped me at once. Since taking two bottles of them I can eat heartily without any bad effects." Sold by all dealers. (Advertisement)

Refreshments were served.

Who is Nath Edwards? I Perhaps many of the several thousand readers of the Palladium have asked this question during the last few weeks. To every one in northwestern Wayne county Nath Edwards, the oringinator of the quaint philosophic sayings that have been appearing under the caption, "Nath Edwards Writes," he is just Nath, lover and student of birds, flowers, animals and mankind. Nor is his fame confined to his neighborhood or state alone. Nath Edwards has been heard of in many parts of the United States and even abroad. Corresponding for the Palladium is only one of Edwards' many sidelines. Like a real newspaperman he gathers his news with system. In one of the rooms of his home is a big roll-top desk, surrounded with paintings and carvings which Mr. Edwards has made during the last few years. On his desk where he does his work is a telephone, a calendar pad, which shows a record of reunions and events

due to happen in coming weeks in the vicinity of Economy, and copies of many daily papers. Has Many Friends. The telephone operator at Econmy and other residents are Nath Edwards' friends. When they have news they telephone it to the man at the desk. If a fire breaks out, the ever watchful operator Immediately notifies Mr. Edwards by a system of rings which

serves as a code of signals. Thus Nath Edwards gathers the happenings of Northern Wayne county. But his philosophy, which is as characteristic as that of Kin Hubbard, is drawn from observations of the thousands of persons who have visited his home, a mile west of Economy.

I The Edwards brothers are great en tertainers. During the last sixteen

years, tNath said, More than thirty two thousand persons, by actual count, have visited his rooms and viewed his collection of carvings and paintings. "I like to have them come,' he said. "I study each one and learn something. You know, the mind is like a sponge; it absorbs something of everything it comes in contact with, whether it is good or bad. Now isn't that true?" Nath Edwards is not voluminous in expressing his thoughts in words. His philosophy is expressed in short, pugnent sentences. But in water-color,

; pen sketches and carving he has re- . corded events that would require volj umes filled with words. Every event, i every flower, every bird, every person I that comes into his life is the subject j for a picture or a study. The roses with the broken stems and crushed ! petals, sent by a friend after the wed

ding, are preserved in water-color. The peculiar, bird killed on Pierce's lake is portrayed, lifelike in form and color. There is the little country, lad of years ago with his leather-topped boots, muffler and mittens.

"You don't see them like that any more," was Nath's brief conment as he exhibited the sketch. A lover of birds, Nath has paintings of all species found in this section of the country, painted from life. He can talk for hours about their habits,

where and how they build their nests, and they way they raise their young. These studies are of unusual merit, and form a valuable collection, such as is found only in exhaustive and costly books on birds. Flowers he .has studied in the same way, picturing the violet, the tulip, and many of the wild blossoms. Equal in interest is the collection of wood carvings, which completely fills two rooms. These carvings, which range from clock cases to easles are all hand carved. "I'll tell you, I'd have to be awfully hungry to take $7,000 for that collection," concluded Nath in telling of a young city chap who had been so bold as to offer him $1.50 for a clock case, intricate in design, which Edwards

values at $300. Carves McKinley' Face. On large panels are wonderful likenesses of William McKinley, Abraham Lincoln and many other of the country's great statesmen and leaders. A military piece, showing sailors, soldiers and Uncle Sam is the frame

; for a carving of Admirals Dewey, j Sampson and Schley.

No, making those things in wood is not tiresome or tedious," replied Mr. Edwards. "It is a great pleasure to take a piece of wood and watch the

; board grow under your hand into a 1 things of beauty." There was the joy of being a creator in his eyes and 1 voice as Nath spoke, j "You don't have to go to Paris to learn to paint or to care," he conI tinued. "If it is in vou it will come

out, you can not keep it back." In this way he explained his aptitude at reproducing what he sees, although he has never studied art. A realist, he depicts things just as he

' sees them. If the stem of a flower !is broken, he paints it; if the apple j before him has a speck of brown,

causea oy decay, he reproduces it. Works for Pleasure. "Of course, thoueh I have not wnrlr-

I ed under an instructor, I study and learn something from each work that I I make," he concluded. I Working away for his own pleasure, j because of his love for the work and : the things with which he worked, thi3 .man has not sought to attract the at- . tention of the world. But the world I has come to him. Thousands have i made the pilgrimage to the home, , while letters from everywhere fill j drawer after drawer of the large rolltop desk. Among these is a letter j from William McKinley and his wife. ! Through friends at Canton the Mc-

Kinleys Jearned of . .Edwards', .many, carvings of the president. The" letter was written as an appreciation of the

high regard which prompted Edwards to make the carvings. Mr. Edwards has disposed of many of his pen drawings to magazines, although he does not make a business of drawing for publication. His only purpom is to entertain himself. Nathan Haywood Edwards, as his

parents chose to christen him, is a man of average size, whose movements are quick and nervous. His hair is long and black, and just beginning to show gray in places. Occasionally he runs his fingers throught the long locks as he talks. The short dark mustache adds a note of distinction. Large, friendly eyes twitch and twinkle at the guest. All this is Nath Edwards.

! CURED HIS RUPTURE i j I was badly ruptured while lifting a ' trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have i passed and the rupture has never re- , turned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have ' nothin gto sell, but will give full infor- ' mation about how you may find a com- : plete cure without operation, if you ; write to me, Eugene M. Fallen, Carpenter, 104-A Marcellus Avenue, Man- : asquan, N. J. Better cut out this noi tice and show it to any others who are : ruptured you may save a life or at

least stop the jrnisery of rupture and

. the worry and danger of an operation, i (Advertisement)

JOEL HOXMAN proprietor "Harvey's" Washington, D.C. "Tuxedo is a good, wholesome tobacco, with a mildness and fragrance all its own. It adds many degrees to my pipe pleasure."

The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette

The secret of its superiority is the unique "Tuxedo Process" by which all the unpleasant features are eliminated from tobacco. Another reason is that Tuxedo is made from the best tobacco grown the choicest, mildest, mellowest leaves of the highest grade Burley tobacco. Tuxedo is widely imitated but no other manufacturer has succeeded in

making a tobacco as good as Tuxedo.
