Bohem'a, his home place. He foun I
the people different-warped by suf
fering and discouraged to a despert
tion that breeds hatred and sus
picion. The farmer seemed to be
fairly well provided for. He could
care of his needs in the scarcest
commodity-food; because he rais
ed it. But the laboring classes ca.
scarcely keep body and soul together,
because while all things are priced
out of `reason, labor in the mitts
earns $10 to $14 per month. He
must pay $5 too $8 of thiis for a
pair (.f shoes and $2.50 for a shirt,
and other things in proportion. Th3
Government deals out one loaf ,of
Sbread a week. The laborer can
scarcely buy food with his earnings
and .ost all of them are going bare
footed. Hatred and bitterness
against the world is shown in every
utterance.

like Curtis'.
Pandermonium.
Sammer is passing. At times the
hot sun has brought discomfort and
the rains seemed more than needful,
and nman's heart felt disposed to
murmur. With our limited range of
vision we can not always understand
the relation of cause and effect and
are crone to gamble. This is all
wrong. In our own land here Nature
has orovided generously for man,
1 and among her greatest and biggest
blessings are sunshine and shower.
- Blessed is the land that inherits
these and rich the fruitfulness there
3 of. With these reflections in mind
we lately directed our steps to the
old hummock field across Sanly
Ford. Those greedy profiteers have
caused us to take an interest in our
surrounding natural resources arc.
we were disposed to look into the
prospect of getting a little feast of
wild chinquapin nuts and ripe per
simmons the coming winter. As we
expectcd the trees were there still,
but the prospect was lacking, wi:u
noch'nquapins and no nice persim
mons in sight. Without much ado
we retraced our steps and took the
road past Uncle Eben's. An honest,
industrious old negro and quite a
landmark In the neighborhood, was
Uncle Eben. Altho he could not
read he was a close observer and
kept pretty well informed and was
capable of making shrewd deduc
tions. Uncle Eben also possessed
some humor and was noted for his
success in handling fractious mules.
To his credit be it said Uncle Eben
always cared well for his stock and
did not misuse them. The old man
was plowing up his cowpen making
preparation to plant turnips. We
stopped to admire the rich-looking
friable soil where in vision green
topped luscious turnips would soda
be growing in luxuriance. As he
noticed us, he stopped his work, tied
his plow mule to a near-by tree and
was aoon engaged in conversation
After various preliminary remarks
pointing to a patch of crab-grass and
pea lines, we observed to Unc'e
Eben that he had a fine lot of hay in
sight. "Yessir," he replied, "en if
nothin' doan happen me en Pander-I
mon:um ,begins mowin' hay nex
week."
"Uncle Eben," I inquired, "who is
Pandermonium? '
"Dats dis heah mule."
So unusual a cognomen arouseld
our curiosity and we asked him how
he happened to hit on the name.
"Data er perlitical name," he ans
wered. "You see, it happens dis er
way. You know Mister J:m Cliffori
reads ter me out de papers some
times, en he was readin where dis
heah Nashunal Demercratic Conven
tion was holdin' er meetin' ter choose
er Demercrat fur de presidency, in
de proceedins was going erlong quiet
ernuff till somebody menshuned Bill
Bryan s name den de paper said,
'Pand' rmonium broke loose.'
"Now I all'us knowed dat der
demercrats keeps er dunkey on hand
case dats the party emblem en I
calke:'ate dat de Pandermonium
what broke lose was dat demercrat'.c
donkey en dats how I gets de name.
En Mister Jack you see dis heah
male am sorter of de demercratic
persuasion-he's lazy en aggrevatin
sometimes but ef I holler 'Bill
Bryan' to him, Pandermonium tries
ter break loose."
ATTENTION, EX-SOLDIERS.N
Attention of all ex-soldiers who
served in the war with Spain at home
or ab;oad, or those who saw service
in the Philippine Insurrection or the
China relief expedition, and the'r
widows. The late Congress passed
laws of the utmost importance to
soldiers and if they will send name
and address to Walter S. Buchanan,
National Aid-de-Camp, Army and
Navy Union, Route 2, Louisa, Va., he
will he glad to advise them fully ar
to their rights under the new law.
Prompt action will mean the possible
saving of money, as the pension com
mences from the filing of the claim.
Mr. Buchanan wishes to assist his
comrades in every possible manner.
Write him and enclose stamp for
reply.

Ask your neighbor!
Mrs. B. Goldate, Mulberry street,
Madisonville, La., says: "I had a
lot of trouble with my back and
kidneys. My back was so weak and
very pa:nful and sharp pains went
through the small of it. At times
my limbs ached and my kidneys were
disordered. My head ached and
caused my sight to blur and I was
sick all over. I began to use Dean's
Kidney Pills, which I got at the City
Drug Store, and they helped me im
mediately. I only used a little more
than a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
when I was entirely cured of this
trouble, and since then I have bees
well in every respect."

It cltashes into sour bile like dyna

Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your sys

When you feel bil:ous, sluggish,
consiipated and all knocked out andl
believe you need a dose of danger
ous calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottl3 of Dodson'a Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to sta, t
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel. It can not be
trusted any moi' than a leopard or
a wild-cat Take Dodson's Liver
Tone which straightens you right up
and makes you feel fine. Give it to
the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't gripe.---Adv.
