One of the most remarkable eases of
a cold. deep-seated on the lungs, caus
ing pneumonia,is that of Mrs. Gertrude
E. Fenner, Marion, Ind., who was en
tirely cured by the use of One Minute
Cough Ciare. She says: "The coughing
and straining so weakened me that I
ran down in weight from 148 to 92
pounds. I tried a number of remedies
to no avail until I used One Minute
Cough Cure. Four bottles of this won
derful remedy cured me entirely of the
cough. strengthened my lungs and re
stored me to my normal weight. health
and strength." Sold by The R. B. Lor

Superstition of the Unlucky Thirteen
When King Arthur founded the fa
mous round table he requested Merlin,
the enchanter, to arrange the seats.
Merlin arranged one set of seats to rep
resent the apostles. Twelve were for
the faithful adherents of Jesus Christ
And the thirteenth for the traitor Judas.
The first were never occupied save by
knights distinguished for their achieve
ments, and when a death occurred
among them the seat remained vacant
until a knight surpassing him in heroic
and warlike attainments should be con
sidered worthy to fill the place. If an
unworthy knight sought the chair he
was repelled by some magic power.
The thirteenth seat was never occu
pied but once. The story goes that a
haughty and insolent Saracen knight
sat down upon It and was Immediately
swallowed up by the earth. Ever after
it was known as the "perilous seat,"
and, brave as the celebrated knights of
the round table are said to have been,
not one ever had the courage to sit on
the thirteenth chair, and the supersti
tion against it still survives.
Watch a Horse's Ears When Driving.
Whether you drive a single horse or a
teem the principles are the same, but
In driving a pair see to it that each
horse does his share of the work and
no more. A pair of horses, moreover,
unless well driven are sure to get In
the habit of wandering over the road.
To drive well you must keep your eye
and your mind on the horse. Watch
his ears. They will be pricked forward
when he is about to shy, droop when
le is tired, fly back just before he
"breaks" (Into a gallop) and before he
kicks. Before kicking, too, a horse
usually tucks In his tail and hunches
his back a little. When you observe
any of these Indications, speak to him
sharply and pull up his head.
Gypsiefl and Death.
The custom of placing the property
of the dead In their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. It is due to some old tradition
of ill luck attending the possession of
an article whose former owner is gone,
and much valuable property Is buried
in this belief. There Is also a senti
ment among gypsies against the pos
session of anything that has belonged
to a dead person, because It serves to
remind the living of the departed and
inspire to. them a dread of death. The
custom of burying their property -with
gypsy dead dates from the earliest his
tory of the Romany tribes.
First Test of the Air Pump.
The first public test of the air pump
was in 1654 by Its inventor, Otto von
Guericke, in the presence of Emperor
Ferdinand of Germany. Guericke ap
plied the carefully groured edges of
metatic hemispheres, two feet in di
ameter, to each other. After exhaust
ing the air by his apparatus he at
tached fifteen horses to each hem
isphere. In vain did they attempt to
separate them because of the enor
mous pressure of the atmosphere. The
experiment was a great success.
An Exaggerated Report.
The family doctor had been sum

he?"
"Oh, doctor, I'm glad to tell you
we've made a mistake," she said blithe

was only a nickel."--New York Press.
'oy sodiers In South America.
In Venezuela, Colombia and other
South American countries it is no un
common thing to see boys of ten or

carrying rifles and marching to battle
with the armies which light in the civil
wars of those lands. These boy sol

they fight quite as well as the oldest

THE ATHLE-rE'S HEART.
Zn the Rowing Man It 1, Strong and
Well DeveloDed.
A prominent member of the faculty
of the University of Pennsylvania Med
ical school has made a study of the
heart action of athletes. H has ex
amined a large number of men In ath
letics, especially rowing men, and he
has come to the conclusion that no man
in perfect health who has been proper
ly trained is injured by rowing, but
that, on the contrary, his heart is so
strengthened that, with a moderate
amount of exercise after he has finish
ed his rowing career, there is no rea
son, so far as the heart and lungs are
concerned, that he should not live to a
very old age.
"The heart," said be, "is both a very
delicate and a very strong organ-that
is, if it is well developed It will stand
an enormous amount of strain without
any permanent injury, but if it is not
well developed it is very easily weak
ened. Violent exercise, like rowing,
places a great deal of strain on the
heart because when the body is being
exerted it requires so much more pres
sure to force the blood through the
body. Like any other muscle that is
worked, the heart under the added la
bor becomes larger, and most athletes
have extra large hearts, just as they
also have larger muscles throughout
the body.
"If the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly it dilates-it becomes larger,
but not more muscular-and that is the
danger in athletics. If a man exe:rcises
gradually then his heart also Increases
in size gradually because the muscles
become larger, and this is a perfectly
normal condition. It simply means
that the athlete has a stronger heart
than the average and can cope with
the extra strain that is put upon it. A
man needs a larger heart to row a
race, and If gradual exercise has so
provided him with one then he can
safely undergo the most severe tests.
"It is the same way with the lungs,
and they izlust be developed gradually
until they can undertake the extra
work. A man with lis heart and lungs
well developed is in no danger, no mat
ter how hard the race. He may com
pletely keel over at the end of the race,
but it will likely be from sheer exhaus
tion, and his heart is so strong that the
effect is not at all injurious. He will
be as good as ever In a few moments."

A Brilliant Retort.
After dinner speaking Is an art,'and,
like many other arts, Ita excellence has
much to do with the mood of the artist
Some of the best of our after dinner
speakers sometimes fall, but It is not
often that failure results in the enrich
ment of the world's store of epigram,
as it did in the ease of Lord Elrskine
many years ago.
When Lord Erskine was made a
member or that highly honorable body,
the Fishmongers' Company of London,
he made an after dinner speech on the
occasion of his first appearance among
them as a member. Upon his return he
said to a friend:
"I spoke ill today and stammered and
hesitated in the opening."
"You certainly floundered," was the
reply, "but I thought you did so in
compliment to the fishmongers."
The Prattle of a Bright Child.
At times It cannot be denied the ques
tions of children become irksome, but
who would wish a child to ask no ques
tons? Julius Sturm tells in one of his
pretty fairy tiles how a grandfather,
driven into Impatience by the constant
questionings of his grandchild, ex
claimed, "I wish your tongue were out
of joint!" But when unexpectedly his
wish was fulfilled and the child became
dumb how he joyfully exchanged one
of the two years which an angel had
prophesied he wvas yet to live for the
privilege of hearing the little one's prat
tle again!___ ____
