Went Point's The operation* of the troops engaged in the war of the Revolution directed attention to the romantic and coin* inaiid?ng heights of West Point and within a few years after the close of the contest, through the Influence of surviving officers of the Contineutal army it pleased President Washington to include in his message to congress i 171)3) a recommendation for the es­ tablishment of a military academy here. . The act creating the academy did not pass until the year 1802, and thon only as a means of giving countenance to the work of George Barren, who had the year before established a private school for cadets at the Point. It re- juired the stimulus of s second war with the mother country to overcome the deep rooted prejudice of the rural legislators against an institution which they believed would become a nursery of aristocrats, and it was, therefore, not until 1812 that the Military academy became a part of the army establish­ ment.--Frank H. Taylor in Four Track News. How to Ward oft'm AtlMk of Bhfi'Bl*- 11*114. "For years when spring time came on and I went into gardening, I was sure to have an attack of rheumatism, and every attack was more severe than the preceding one," says Josie McDonald, >f Man, Logan county* W. Va. "I tried everything with no relief what­ ever until I procured a bottle of Cham­ berlain's Pain Baltn, and the first appli­ cation gave me ease and before the first bottle was used I felt like a different person. Now I feel that I am cured, but I always keep a bottle of Chamber Iain's Pain Balm in the bouse, and when I feel any symptoms of a return I soor drive it away with one or two applica tious of this liniment."

The clerk said he was, but he was not In at that moment. "I had never seen the person for whom I had inquired," said the man who tells this story. "I had never bad a description of him. I had formed no idea as to what manner of man he Is, as we often do in such cases. 1 took a seat in the corridor, intending to ask the clerk again later on. I read a newspaper for a half hour and start­ ed to the clerk's desk to repeat my in­ quiry when I bumped into an Indi­ vidual by accident. We both apologiz­ ed. In a second 1 said to him, 'Are you not Mr. Y I don't know what im­ pelled me to make the inquiry, but as quickly as I had asked him as quickly did he reply that he was Mr. , the very person whom I wished to see. I suppose Conan Doyle might explain it, but hanged If 1 can."--New York Com mercial Advertiser. A Madman's Oelnnlon. ltoan Plgou tells the following story of a brilliant man who lost his mind temporarily through overwork and was confined In an English asylum: "His delusion was that his stomach was full to repletion of rats. There was no room for a tithing else. Hood said to me, 'Go. an., talk with him and lead up to the subject of rats.' I found him, ds is very common, perfectly sane on every subject but this. After some conversation I said to him, feigning not to know who he was: 'You seem to be a very well informed man. Have you given your attention to natural history, because I notice that the question is being discussed as to whether the spe­ cies of the genus rat called the Norwe­ gian still exists'/' Instantly he replied, 'Oh, certainly,' and unbuttoning his dress, said, 'Every known species of rat, sir, is here in my stomach.' and, localizing the rat with his finger, said: 'Here in this part of my stomach is a Norwegian rat. You can assure your friends that as^ long as 1 am alive no apecies can die.' Under the kind and humane treatment of Bethlehem he was soon at work again and had, of course, no recollectiou of his delusion." A Dosen Time* a Night. "I have -had kidney and bladder trouble for years, and it became so bad that I was obliged to get up at least * dozen times a night," says Mr. Ower nnn of Benton Ferry, W. Va.

As a preventive and ure for Bright's disease and Diabetes Foley'8 Kidney Cure is unequaled. It iuickt>y cures all kidney and bladder troubles. Sold by G. W. Besley, West McHenry. Tobacco Smoke and the Blood. Two or three inouthfuls of tobacco smoke from a cigarette were shaken up with a few drops of 'blood diluted with water in a bottle. Almost immediately the blood assumed the pink color char­ acteristic of blood containing monoxide gas, and further observations with the spectroscope confirmed the presence in the blood of carbon monoxide. Similar­ ly a few mouthfuls of smoke from a pipe and a cigar were tried, and the re­ sults were even more marked. In this experiment we have some explanation in particular of the evil effects of ciga­ rette smoking, for it is chiefly cigarette smoke that is inhaled, an indulgence by which the poisonous carbon monoxide is introduced directly into the blood. This effect of tobacco smoke upon the blood appears to us to be of consider­ able significance.--London Lancet. True Merit Recognised. Last winter the oldest son of Mr. j Paul F. Mueller, publisher of the Volks-1 b l l f ^ R n u d e c h a u , Li n c o l n , 1 1 1 . , w a s a f - ; flicted with a very bad cold and cough, i In speaking of how they cured it Mr. I Mueller saya: "We used different kinds of medicines without any benefit to him until we commenced to use Harts' Hon­ ey and Horehound. This medicine gave immediate relief and soon cured him. In my estimation Harts' Honey and Horehound is the most wonderiul and certain cure in the world for all throat and lung troubles." 25c. 50o and $1 00. Sold by G. W. Besley, West McHenry. druggist. Christmas Tree Leorend. There is a legend in Germany that when Eve plucked the fatal apple im­ mediately the leaves of the tree shriv­ eled into needle points and its bright green turned dark. It changed its na­ ture and became the evergreen, in all seasons preaching the story of man's fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom .brightly with lights and become beauti­ ful with love gifts--the curse is turned into a blessing at the qpming of the Christ Child, and we:< have our Christ­ mas tree.

Soil may be the same rind seed may seem the same but some plants are weak and others strong. And thats the way with children. They are like young plants. Same food, same home, same care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak. Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed. Scott's Emulsion really feeds and gives the child growing strength. Whatever the cause of weak­ ness and failure to grow-- Scott's Emulsion seems to find it and set the matter right. Send for free sample.
