A year ago almost unknown Today - a leader t A sweeping verdi? i The Young Dr, | I Claud g ? By DOROTHY WHITCOMB {j HnBOBOBffiBBBBnBHHBBBBBHHHBH Copyright, 1182, Wanton? Newspaper Union. Claud Arthur Sherwin might be an M. D. of Johns Hopkins and the lender of his clnss In tho medical schools, but so long as he lived lu Lovell he would never po known ns anything more than Dr. Claud. The elder Dr. Claud, hf? father, had ushered throe fourths of Lovell Into the world, und no othor doctor would have any chance to luing out his shingle within tho radius of old Dr. Claud's buggy and high-stepping horses. So young Dr. Claud came home to take' over Ids father's, practice without huving to fight his way to QU Income. It wns on the fourth or fifth day after young Dr. Claud's arrival that the telephone rang furiously. Young Dr. Cloud was alone, in the ofllco. He took down the receiver. ?Ts that Dr. Claud?" Inquired a woman's voice In agitation. "Oh, young Dr. Claud. Well, I'm Miss Mary Denton, and Mrs. Quinn ts In great trouble. Her mnld has swallowed sul phate of antimony by mlstnke for a prescription. Yes, she's boro and has asked me to telephone for her. You know Mrs. Quinn's house-the third house across the brook. Good-bye." Hastily lie threw a few things Into bis bag, mixed a draught of mustard and milk, mid set off ns fast as he could to walk ulong the road. Once over the brook he soon saw Mrs. Quinn's house standing In a little grove of lives. Ile ur ried up tho drive. There wns nobody In the kitchen, but tn the dining room he saw a wom an stretched out upon a lounge, ap parently Insensible. no opened bis bag, uncorked the liquid, and, forcing tlie girl's mouth open, tried to pour the noxious draught down her throat. She sat up spluttering. "What-what-" she began to stam mer, and then suddenly a smile broke through the tears of laughter that came Into her eyes. "Oh" my dear doctor," she exclaimed, "what a drendful mlstnke. You are looking for Mrs. Quinn's maid. She lives across tho road. You came to the wrong house. You'd better hurry." "Rut the mustard ls all gone," stam mered young Dr. Claud. "Then Til mix some more," volun teered the young woman. Come Into the kitchen." But os he arose young Dr. Claud saw the family buggy draw up across the street and his father descend, to gether with a very agitated middle aged woman. Tho young lady saw lt, too. A "That's Mrs. Quinn," she said. "I guess she found your father and bas brought him there." "Then I'd better go," stammered young Dr. Claud. He took his hat "You ore Miss Denton, aren't you?" he hazarded. "Yes, of course I am. I'll wager you have never thought of me since you went to Baltimore." "Indeed I have," replied young Dr. Claud warmly. Ills hand went Into lils pocket and he pulled out a broken coln. "Do you remember this," he asked. "You said you were going to keep the other half until-" Miss Mary Denton's hand had gone up Involuntarily to her throat. She tried to stop the action, but it was too late. There hanging ufPon h chain, young Dr. Cloud saw tho other half of thc coln. And for the second time within five minutes Miss Don ton's cheeks turned scarlet. "Now you go," she said, pushing him toward the door. "I don't think our meet lng has been a very happy ono, Dr.-Dr. Claud." But although he found himself al most violently excluded from the bouse young Dr, Claud was singularly happy-so much so that his father commented upon his appearance when ho came out o? tho house. "You certainly don't look Uko a man who hns Just been beaten In the race for his llrst patient," ho said. "It's lucky t waa, on the spot. Claud, Just ( ct for QUALITY saved lief In tlnio. ~\irs. Quinn told me she telephoned you half nn hour ago." . "I-I went to the wrong house," fal tered young Dr. Claud. "Humph I" growled his father. "You seemed to he coming from the direc tion of Miss Denton." Old Dr. Claud was about to twit his son a little longer, but when he looked at bim again something made him check himself abruptly. Miss Mary was a favorite of his, nnd be had hoped that after Claud settled down In Lovell-well, lt wns one of those dreams in which old men Indulge In their Idle moments. And as thc weeks rolled by he was encouraged to go on dreaming lt. And when young Dr. Claud, with Mary on his nrm, came into old Dr. Claud's oillce nnd, stammering, said that he bad something very Important to communicate, old Dr. Claud found that he could only press his son's band and kiss Miss Mary's blushing cheeks. Because bis dream had really come to puss nnd the Lovell practice seemed likely to become hereditary. Emeralds Have a "Boom." The choice of enieralds for Princess Mary's engagement ring caused a boom in those stones in England, says u London dispatch. Tho square-cut emerald is the most fashionable and the most expensive. Emcrutds are dearer than diamonds und run from ?70' to ?80 a karat up to ?000 a knrnt for stones free from (laws, which are ex tremely iure. ACT QUiCKLY Do the right thing at the right timo. Act quickly in .ime of danger. In timo of kidney danger, Doan's Kidney Pills are most effective. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. W, H. L. Ramoy, James St., Walhalla, says: "The first symptom of kidney trouble In my case was a hearing-down pain in tho small of my back. I didn't have ambition enough to do anything and when 1 bent sharp pains shot through my kidneys and almost, took my breath away. I had sovore headaches and dizzy spoils and my kidneys didn't act right. I tried several remedies but got no relief until I began tak ing Doan's Kidney Pills. In a short time I felt like a different person and Doan's cured me entirely." Prlco 60c, at all dealers. Don't Bimply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-tho same that Mrs. Ramoy had.

Those ship incuts rapidly been me larger as the demand became grouter, until last week, when shipments totalled 13S pounds. One customer said that sinco she had been buying 4-ll but ter she could not keep any in the house. She laughed and remarked, "lt is too good to keep." Tile Home Demonstration Depart ment is trying to develop every pos sible home enterprise which will fur nish paying products to market. In commenting on this feature of our work, O. B.

When the agents, the colleges and the department focus their attention on standardizing tho products which may bo sold in winter ns well as in summer, tho club markets of tho State will be busy throughout the year?

Spencer, Ohio, May 10. - Fifty seven years ago to-day Jefferson Davis, President of tho Confederate ' States, was taken' prisoner by tho i Fourth .Michigan Cavalry in an early morning surprise near Irwinville, Ga. To-day Thomas Mile Hunter, 73 years-old veteran cf seventy-three war engagements, sat in an old army chair on tho front porch of his coun try home, two miles from hero, and rocounted leminiscences of that tra gicLperiod. Ho says ho is ono of the two survivors of the Fourth Michigan prosent at tho capture. The President of tho Confederacy was not attired in feminine apparel when the Michigan troopers sur rounded his little encampment, as serts Vetornn Hunter, historical statements to tho contrary. notwith standing. "Ho woro a gentleman's morning robe over his regular clothes," snid tho aged soldier. "On his noad was an old striped bonnet. Ho did not have on any woman's belongings. There were not oven any strings to hip bonnet. He was a man sure enough." The Michigan troopers, 419 of them, with ten officers, were prepar ing for resl after throe days and nights of marching from Macon, Sol dier Hunter said, when they espied a Http camp secluded amidst a clus ter ot saplings."An advance guard was sent on, a fow shots wore flrod, tho entire regiment swooped down, and tlie camp was taken. Jefferson Davis, his wife and four children; John H. Regan, his Post master ?enoral; a staff of aides, ser vants and some others woro found. "1 am tho man you are looking for," the veteran quoted Mr. Davis as saying, as soon as he was 'ap proached in his camp. "Wo all surrounded him," Mr. Hunter continued. "Col. Pritchard did tho talking for us. We wero all happy and wanted to celebrate. That mado Mr. Davis mad and ho said, 'You fellows think you are smart to capture a camp of women and chil di en. Well, you are not. This is van dalism'." Tho camp was guarded closely that night, and once the Confederate Pres ident left his tent and attempted to walkaway, only to be betrayed by his spurs as ho tripped over a log," Mr. .Hunter said. "We took him to Macon two days later. Then twenty-two men escorted him to Washington and sur rendered him to Major Gen. Miles." Mr. Hunter said that, tho men of his regiment were given a $300 bo nus for the capturo, lt being awarded in 1868, and finally paid nlnetoen years later. Aside from Hunter, Henry Wind sor, of Wayne, Mich., is said to be the only survivor of tho column that surrounded the Davis camp. Third Man Lays Claim. Parsons, Kansas, May 10.-Joseph Taylor, of Salina, is authority for the statement that he assisted in the cap turo of Jefferson Davis. About 25 years ago he received his $300 re ward for assisting in the capture. Four Rills Against Rank President. (Anderson Tribune, May ll.) Four true bills, charging violation of thc State banking laws, were re turned against J. R. Vandlvor by tho Anderson grand jury. These indict ments wore handed to tito grand Jury on Tuesday afternoon, at which time Judge George E. Prince charged the jury on tho law governing these cases.

It is a fact that should lend much encouragement to the people of this section in Hie matter of the develop ment of the dairy industry that tho largest vacuum in tho matter of but ter supply in this country, and pro bably in tho world, ls here in the southeastern part of tho United dates. Practically tho same thing may bo -said with reference lo the supplies of poultry and eggs, cheese, pork products, and beef. Tho enor mous demand in tho South for these products at tho present time is be ing filled from the northwest princi pally, and Hie butter and cheese and poultry products, pork, beef, etc., willoh aro now hoing shipped into Hie South from oilier sections of thc country aro simply grain, grass and forage that have boen converted into Hie form of butter, poultry products, and beef upon tho farms of farmers in States that aro much moro pros perous than we are. Tho most urgent prosent Heed of Southern agriculture is for a system of farming tba4, will give the farmer a cash income from month to month throughut the year, thus enabling him to proceed upon a cash basis, getting away entirely from the neces sity of going Into debt for supplies upon which to go while making tho crop. The keeping of a few cows on every farm and the sale of sour cream to tho creamery, the feeding ot skim milk to the farm poultry flocks and to well-bred brood sows and pigs, will meet this urgent need and at the same time will solvo the farmer's problem of marketing such products as corn, oats, hay, velvet beans, etc. This program will enable the farmer to got away from the problem of selling country butter and nt the same tinto will relieve the housewife of much work in connec tion with caring for tho milk, churn ing and making buttor, and insure the market price for the product, whereas tho price for country butter is practically always much below that of creamery butter. In fact, tho salo of country butter at.anything like the market valuo of tho buttor is im possible except upon tho basis of a personal relation. Mrs. Smith may live In the country and have an ac quaintance with Mrs. Jones who lives in town. They aro friends, and of courso Mrs. Jonos will bo glad to get a pound or so of buttor each woek from Mrs. Smith, but tho vory min uto tho buttor of Mrs. Smith loses its.identity and appears on tho coun ter of Hie grocery storo as country buttor, tho valuo falls to 12 to 15 to 20 cents por pound, whorens when the bu Herfa t is sold to a creamory lt brings tho price of standard buttor as quoted on tho Chicago market, which is usually almost double tho prico received for country butter. One beauty about this typo of dairying is tn..t it may bo carried on upon tho averago farm without lr. any way upsetting tho fnrm labor situation. It may bo made ono of tho phases of tho farm oporatlon, and PPee irface ?hing. floors, wood transforming inish with ion end is mode Requires no skill y-"Save tho sur KEASLEE-G AULBERT CO. iNCOnpoflATiu Mmuttctureri towrrilJe, . fcatody ?I? * * * * * * * ?I? * * * * * .J- IN MEMORIAM. -J? ?j. ?j? ?j? .j? ?j? ?j? .j? ?j? *|? ?j? ?j? ?j. ?j?
